Amen to that. It is bad enough to have such a huge gov’t, but let that same gov’t be run by socilaists and you have a catastrophe in the making.

I wonder if we can send the “checks” back when they come to us? My last one went into the bank at 3% interest (whoopie) and has sat there ever since.

Gorebot:For me it’s a bit different.

What really killed GuvMint’s ability to operate is when the Senate Rules were changed to enable “non-filibustering filibusters”.

When a minority of legislators can effectively “mail in” their total anal blockage of a bill (that is, do it pain free to themselves), THAT is what has radically disrupted the ability to govern.

Filibusters should be mandatorilly real. That will get things moving again.

I kind of like gridlock, all the less damage they can do.

With all these bailouts, I wonder what they will do if we have a recession someday?

Hey everybody…this is just the beginning. When the Congress is controlled by a filibuster proof majority, when Obama is President, and given an assist by the corrupt immoral media…YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET!!!…This is a perfect storm for liberals. The dark ages, and the death of our democracy begin in earnest in 2 weeks. The socialist party will soon be in total control, its constituents having babies (and future voters) at a carefree rate; carefree because they wont be paying for them, YOU WILL. And they will just have their hands out, waiting to take what you earned, and make it theirs. Our democracy is terminally ill, dying of liberalism.

Gorebot 126, I still pray we DON’T get what we deserve as a nation. An often quoted phrase in many museums says “those ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it”. Wrong-headed thinking or refusal to THINK and REASON can have dire consequences. Red Pill provides excellent historical references for proper conduct and action UNDER GOD. But even so, He will sustain us through the fire if, indeed, we get Obama/Biden and all their consequences.

Yes, let’s just keep on printing money until we become the inflationary equivalent of Argentina of the ’90’s. Or Zimbabwe.

The Dems know better, right?

Nahhh…they are just trying to make all the Illegals from South of the Border feel right at home by making the Dollar just like the Peso. You know, worth more as a recyclable than as a form of currency.

My advice to all of the bozos in DC:

Don’t just do something, stand there.

It’s been less than a month since they spent $1 Trillion on bailouts. What’s the effect of spending all that money? We don’t know, not enough time has elapsed to see the effect. DUH!!! And they want to just keep throwing more of other people’s $ at it. It’s all they know.

Whatever happened to the concept of plan your work, then work your plan.

Right now these guys are running a poorly organized Chinese fire drill.

Bernanke, Paulson, and all members of the Bush administration and Congress, please admit you don’t have a clue. We’d be better off if all of you took the next year off and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Meanwhile:

“The era of cheap oil is finished,” Iran’s Oil Minister Gholamhossein Nozari boasted on Tuesday.

When asked what price Iran would want for its oil, Nozari declared, “The more the better.”

The current price of gas should not make us or our representatives apathetic about what’s going on in the world of oil. Sorry if I’m too far off-topic. It’s just that instead of stimulus packages, we should be focusing on other things. We should be keeping more of our own money in the first place instead of getting more back.

Bush wanted to do it, it was evil and wrong. Dems want to do it, it is the greatest thing since money was invented.

Just look at it for a training session for a Odopey Presidency.

The deficit for FY2009 will have to be at least $1 Trillion at this point just from the bailout, AIG, loans to automobile producers, and now the stimulus proposal! Then I think the “normal” projected deficit was between $300 and $500 billion.

Can this nation remain solvent with at $1.5 Trillion deficit in single year?

This is insanity and nobody seems to care or even notice.
