OP,
Who has been in charge for the past 8 years? REPUBLICANS - it should be clear by now their ideology is flawed.
Do you use highways? Have you ever dialed 9-11? Did you go to public school? Have you ever used the post office, highways, or public libraries?
Financial aid?
"unemployment is rising at an alarming rate," and what do you propose is the purpose of the stimulus bill?
Instead of a crying in a conspiracy forum, take a second to realize the hypocrisy in your words. Perhaps, take an economics class, and try to fully
understand the current financial crisis and how it arrived to this... anything instead of regurgitating talking points from Rush Limbaugh. Tax cuts
will NOT solve the situation. It was lack of government oversight, and regulation that led us in this situation in the first place. Please step back,
relax, and comprehend that the world's top economists have put their heads together to solve this crisis... unfortunately, republicans and so-called
"fiscally conservatives" have contributed NOTHING, and instead have sabotaged the recovery package... which any (intellectually honest) economist
will agree is NOT enough, so a second bill will be necessary.
Just put your ideology aside, and understand this is what's best for the country... for the world. There is no conspiracy here to "take your
money." Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made. The flaw with libertarianism is that it is a religion in its own right. When government intervention
works, a libertarian's response is that the prosperity would have been even greater if only the "authoritarians" had stepped back, and let the
markets work. When these very policies lead to abject failure, they blame the inevitable impurities that have hindered a so-called "true" free
market system, like the Fed, in order to bolster their discredited faith.
It is unhealthy to "lose it" at work, and perhaps the best answer I can offer is to seek a therapist. Quite frankly, this seems more like a cry for
attention - not to be disrespectful, but how many members do you see with their pictures, who start as many threads as you? It may only be a
subconscious act, but it is something to take notice.
