...and there is no sign that Mr. Obama is any different from the past democrats that sat in the oval office. The only exception is that he has 100% compliance within his party and a majority in congress that will pass anything Mr. Obama supports.
How hypocritical is it that Mr. Obama continues to remind the general public of the deficit he inherited, but then spends so recklessly that the possibility of having a balanced budget anytime within his term is utterly impossible. How hypocritical is it that the libs called the recent spending bill that was passed a "stimulus package". How does $20 billion dollars towards food stamps stimulate the economy? What jobs will be created by increasing food stamp allowances? This is only one example of many within that spending bill, but I'll try to avoid making this post unneccisarily long. One of you left wingers need to help me understand what our President is attempting to do. The view from the cheap seats here in right field makes the picture look exactly like I thought it would look before the election took place; the liberal democrats want a socialist republic in place of our cherished capitalistic society. Let's continue to drain the rich to pay for the poor. Let's continue to increase taxes on large corporations that have been laying off employees at an enormous pace. Let's increase benefits to the unemployed instead of finding ways to provide jobs for them. I'm ranting a bit, but one thing is clear. Barack Obama scares the living shit out of me. JP, UGB, anybody, please help me feel better about the job he's doing. And someone explain to me how the fuck he has a 67% approval rating. They must have done the polling at a foreclosure seminar or a foodbank. |

at 4:17 PM, Saturday March 14, 2009 EDT How are you arguing that wikipedia is a legitimate source when ANYONE can post on it? Or were you not arguing that it is, but you were saying an economic book is.
Way to revive a dead thread guys :P |

at 5:12 PM, Saturday March 14, 2009 EDT My response, and only made it through 60 or so replies.
I am a business owner and employer. What is being done is take away any incentive for taking risk. There is a well known, positive correlation between risk-reward. What has been done is make those who risk (entrepreneurs) aren't punished for success. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow isn't big enough to chase after. This thwarts investment into economic development, which slows gnp, and job growth. I know any monies I make, and I may be one of the few that succeed due to stimulus, will have to shelter it, and not reinvest it in my company, into new employees, or into spending into this economy. I am more the rule than the exception as far as small business owners from those I speak with |

at 12:00 AM, Sunday March 15, 2009 EDT Ok, since the Obama aspect of this thread seems to have died down, lets start it up on Bush. I want a list of things you think he did poorly, things he did right, likes, dislikes, etc.
Second political shitstorm begin. |
