Lets not forget to thank all the people who voted for W. twice and bankrupted our country. These last 8 years of him has sure put the country in a world of hurt. It is so bad that longtime GOP voters were so disgusted that they went to the polls and voted for change.
I'll give you one thing this Stimulus spending bill scares the daylights out of me too. I admit it is drastic and I do not know if it will get us moving. It's just to bad that W. and his policies have put us in a situation like this.
I guess we will just have to see if it works, if it don't I'll blame W., if it does I'll give Our President the credit. You right wingers will do the opposite.
Doug,
I think you think that Bush did it all by himself? He bankrupted the country? You do know that the president can't bankrupt a country, they are not CEOs.
Don't forget we had congress doing its part more than Bush could, they passed the stuff to 'save' us from doom so quickly that they forgot to read it and some of them who happen to be democrats are blaming us for being caught off guard (AIG ring a bell?) Amazing that the republicans actually seemed to think that it was too much too soon actually stepped up to the plate and said it was wrong to spend money we don't have. And those who voted for those republicans told their representatives that it was the wrong move to spend money we don't have to get us out of the mess while the democrat voters went along with the mess praising the messiah and hoping for a chunk of that money that We the People are on the hook for.
Maybe you don't get the idea that the republicans tried to work with the democrats all the time the republicans were in power and many who don't read what has been going on in congress tend to forget that Bush also tried hard to work with them. He didn't veto a thing until they got into power, a lot of the work that passed his desk was from the democrats.
But we have a new era, we have an era of exclusion and blame, an era of power grabbing, righteous trashing of our country and hatred. We are again at the door step of the hippy culture of greed and selfishness, of demanding free stuff and not returning to the country that provides the freedoms we hold precious. It is the era of Pelosi and Reid, the era of rewritten rules to shut people out, not just the republicans but We the People. It is the era of fast tracking legislation without debate and ignoring the Constitution. By the way, I believe in free speech, and do you know we don't have free speech in congress - learn how it works and how they, the democrats, have changed it.
We have a new leader who beleives he was sent by God and who thinks he is the second coming of FDR to complete what wasn't finished. He believes in the archaic ideas of Deficit Spending, who has multiplied our national debt for our great great grandchildren to pay for (what ever happened to the mantra "for the chidren"?) and forgot to tell us that he doesn't exactly know what he is doing. He is counting on increased tax revenue that may never come and if it doesn't he will blame others for the failure, you know blame the rich and tax the rich crap. All of this will do nothig but fail because they can't produce blood out of a rock.
We have new problems, world problems with our debt holders and it is not Bush's fault that we are here at this point, it is the congresses fault which means it is you and I who are really to blame because we voted for them to make these stupid decisions and allowed them to ignore us.
Just wait Doug, you can blame Bush for a lot but I have a feeling that you will regret not having him in office in the near future.
Oh and one last thing;
You can use
comrade as a greeting under both a socialist government and a fascist government.
