Your thinking is flawed. What has happened in the past DOES have a
bearing on today. We're still spending money in Iraq, for instance.
Until recently we were paying a tax on our telephone whose original
purpose had long since passed. History does count.

Unfortunately there are those that would rather repeat the mistakes of the
past than learn from history. Consider the lessons from the thirties that
are being ignored. The democrats tried to spend the country out of the
depression. It took twenty years and two wars before the country was able
to extract is self from that spending spree. Yet what is obama doing
today? Adding two trillion dollars to the deficit to get the country out
of what he considers a depression. How many years and wars will it take
the US to get out of obama's fiasco?

How about we give him 1/2 the time to get us going in the opposite direction
than the time we spent getting into the mess? Does that seem fair?
