Yes there is. It’s called “Cut the federal budget in half and enforce a balanced budget.” And while we’re at it, start prosecuting the Congressional plotters and their Wall Street accomplices. I bet the NSA can get the goods on them in a matter of weeks.

.I find it ironic that after all of the years the Democrats have whined about “Corporate Welfare”, they’re now all so ready to lavish “Welfare” on Corporations.

Well, they blame Bush for making them do it. That counts for something, doesn’t it?

I think it’s also very important to understand that there really is no difference between Democrats and Republicans anymore.

No, the two parties remind me of a few science fiction shows:

1) Babylon 5: The Draazy, (an alien race), choose the leader of their civilization by requiring every citizen to pick either a purple or green scarf out of a barrel at random and warring between the two sides until one is victorious. The leader of the winning color becomes their new ruler.

2) Red Dwarf: The descendants of Kat, (a human-like character which descended from a pregnant cat which Lister smuggled aboard ship), fought a holy war about whether their hats should be red or blue. Kat and an old man/cat were the only survivors. (Scene starts at 6:54)

If you can’t handle the hangover, keep drinking. The drawback of course being that eventually you will die of, well, any number of things, your brain being the first organ to go.

All analogies are suspect of course, but this one is about as solid as it gets. It’s the government that needs Prohibition.

The bad news is that our economy is broken and there is nothing the government can do to fix it.

the government can STOP DOING THE THINGS THAT CAUSED THE MARKET TO BREAK!! like repeal CRA and SOX…elminate all business taxes, and the capital gains tax.

implement a flat tax for EVERYONE…and elminate the departments of education, agriculture, energy, and commerce.

privatize social security and medicare.

it just takes guts, which we are sorely lacking…

instead, we get to enjoy the ‘blessings’ of inflation and worthless money!!

hang on its gonna be a wild ride…

Get as many loans as possible, spend it all on your pleasure, max out your credit cards…then when the bills come due, send monopoly money to pay it off!! and let the government, US or chinese, bail you out!!

simple…works every time, and its fun for a while!!!

C’mon. What “political gain” did anyone, Bush and Republicans in particular, get from the deficit, the majority of which is due to the war?

Well, the war itself was still popular in 2004, the last time political gain meant anything to Bush. Then there are the ever popular tax cuts. Oh, and don’t forget the drug benefit.

So let’s see: four years ago, Bush cared about political gain. Is it better or worse (for him) that he decided to put political gain aside? As for the “ever popular tax cuts,” it is only you liberals that despise it. The ludicrous but oft repeated (by the liberal media and Democrats) lie that it was a “tax cut for the rich” is only true if you completely ignore the inconvenient fact that the “rich” pay most of the taxes. Of course they are going to get more back!! You are a mathematician, right?

I am not sure what the drug benefit is about. Poppies in Afghanistan? Is that it? Are you erroneously implying that this is something Bush wanted?

Much like the tax cut lie, if the improvements in Iraq were reported fairly and accurately, it, too, might be popular.

Rise above the propaganda. You are a smart guy. Let’s see it.

I find it ironic that after all of the years the Democrats have whined about “Corporate Welfare”, they’re now all so ready to lavish “Welfare” on Corporations.

Can you say “hypocrites”? I knew you could.

Not only that, they bashed Bush for tax cuts during the 01 recession, and now they want to reduce taxes.

And all we’re going to hear is how the current situation was handed to them, yet they blamed the previous recession AND 9/11 on Bush because he was “at the helm” when it happened.

Classic liberal hypocrisy.

Michelle Malkin
“There’s no pain-free cure for recession”
This is exactly right.

Unfortunately, “Suck It Up” is not a winning message in Washington. …

Can you say “hypocrites”? I knew you could.
