In case you don’t know, Beck has blamed the Bush Admin, but Obama is spending like crazy as well. And since he is our current president guess who
gets the blame? Even though I blame congress for this mess because they are the ones with the purse strings.
Of course he gets the blame, he's the only president to EVER take responsibility for this crap. That shows that he cares about the country, he
didn't just say "uh, well, f**k it."
And of course he has to spend, but who started it all? The Bush Admin. What do you expect Obama to do? Magically solve the problem? No, you have to
spend money to make money.
This is one of the most narrow minded things I have read in a few weeks here. Even SG and BH would be ashamed of this.
First of all "you have to spend money to make money"? You do know that is for "Profit" right? The Govt is not a profit center. The Govt. is not a
private business.
Second, you are really stuck on the left - right, Bush - Obama issue. You are part of the problem, not the cure, that is for sure.
Maybe it would be easier if you thought of it in this fashion.
The Federal Govt. is suppose to be a line traveling sideways with little bumps up or down depending on what is "needed" to do the two jobs that they
are responsable for. 1. To protect us from enemies. 2. To regulate commerce between the states, and provide for fair trade.
They have done neither for quite some time, espcially number 2.
The Fed Govt. has for some time been traveling on a forward moving line, "growth of power", and as objects, "resistance", are in the way, the line
moves left or right. It really is as easy as that.
Now, in the "Big Picture", if you were to make this a grand drawing, the overall picture for 230 years has moved more left than right. Right being
strick Constitution and small business minded as our country was based.
It is kind of ironic, that if we were way to the right, we would have the freedom and stable economic enviroment to give things that the more libral
minded want, healthcare and education.
If it takes too many turns to the left, it will eventually lead to the distruction of what was suppose to be and turn it into something else.
Left and right does exist, but it has nothing to do with Republicans and Democrats in this country. The parties are both trying hard to give us the
"something else".
