In article , says... You make no sense to me. I don't see "Obama giving the button to our enemies." Be specific, please. None of the Fox News/Roger Ailes method of grabbing something with a thread of truth, then taking it to an unexplainable extreme. Obama is subservient to third world dicators. Do you have a transformer hooked to that tin hat? The "Death Panels" is a great example. Don't do it, back up what you say. The provision was in the bill. The provisions was pointed out by Palin. The provision was removed from the bill. How can you remove what was never there? It wasn't a death panel. To state so is the height of ignorance. Which, it seems, is a Republican goal these days. I'll be specific about the Republicans if you'd like. Bush took a surplus and turned it into a deficit by giving supposedly temporary tax cuts, intended to boost our economy. The 10.2 is a legacy of Bush. A surplus is an accounting trick. Try this sometime. Take all of the revenue and put it into a bucket. Then pay all the oblications from the same bucket. At the end of the year if you have any money left in the bucket that is your surplus. The $787 billion stimulus was, according to Obama, supposed to limit the unemployment rate at 8%. It was clear that they "hoped" it would keep unemployment under 10%. Monetary and fiscal policy cannot control an economy, they're simply dials you can turn to try to achieve proper trim. Anyone with a brain knows that stimulus money is a measure of last resort a coarse adjustment to a failing economy. Did you expect a higher level of predictability? That's why they used the term "hope." The temporary-ness was a lie and everyone knows it. This is ok with you because you accept and or ignore reality. When they expire you will back up the argument that it's a tax increase. They play you for a fool and it's ok with you. Does your boss give you temporary raises? Bad analogy. Not ok with me, the results tell us how successful the Bush tax cut economy was. Accept the fact that taxes pay for things you want to do, like the wars. The Democrats in Congress couldn't wait to get to the floors of their respective chambers to vote for war due to the upcoming election. But, you seem to have forgotten that. Bush and Cheney set the table. If you're a politician whose livelihood depends on staying in office, how would you have voted? How did the Republicans vote? For fiscal discipline? Who pays for things in your economy? My economy? I don't believe in deficit spending. That's how you financed the tax cuts and two wars. That's who you voted for. If you stick to backing Palin the only excuse is that you are confirming you are the fool Roger Ailes thinks you are. 2012 Not a bloody chance. Economy will be recovered, jobs returning, USA's status in the world on the mend. Sarah Palin will be a distant embossment to your party. |
