Well said. While Obama is “saving” us by spending trillions of dolars to get us all out of debt, I would like to also point a few things out I haven’t seen in previous comments….

1)The economy has its ups and downs. I find the comparisons between our current situation and depression FDR inherited to be ludicrous, considering the unemployment rate of the Great Depression reached as high as 20% (our current being around 8.4% give or take). In my opinion, I think the term “economic crisis” is being utilized as a liberal excuse to pass their agenda. Are we in a tough economic downturn? Yes. Is this a normal capitalist pattern? Yes. Would we have recovered naturally? Absolutely… If anything we should have lowered income tax rates across the board to help get us out of this rut because let’s be honest – most of us are not seeing any of this Obama “stimulus” money.

2)Let us not forget one of the main reason Barack Hussein Obama won this election- Tax relief for the American People. He ran on it, he harped on it, he won on it. “He will help big business”…”He is for the wealthy”….”I am for the Middle Class and 95% of the American People”…yada yada yada. Where is that money now Barack? It’s being spent on the hundreds of earmarks that have infested your bills, earmarks that you swore to eliminate. True, low- income families are seeing tax relief in the form of $500 ….but that just doesn’t seem to make sense.

Let’s Review:

When you increase public spending, you must simultaneously be increasing taxes. Yet, Obama is doing just the opposite : increasing spending WHILE ALSO decreasing taxes. The superhuman Barack Obama is also decreasing our national debt at the same time, so you do the math. This guy must be special…..

They key term in all of this is DEBT. Today we honor it by calling it “having good credit.” Now we have a Puppet-In-Chief who wants expand our debt even further into the hole, Great, I thought we were already into deep. Mr. Bush as you know is not exempt from this madness nor were others before him. I know from personal experience what debt does to your life. You are not free, every dollar you earn has someone else’s name on it. My family and I were once 41,000+ in debt. We got our act together, got of debt, eliminated the credit (debt creating) cards and now we have fully funded emergency fund if a crisis were to hit us. We live on a budget and this is something that is foreign to most Americans today. Ironic that we demand fiscal responsibility from our leaders and not ourselves.

Until we purged the stench of debt from our own lives it is going nearly impossible to convince others to elect fiscal responsible leaders. The change for freedom clearly begins with the person in the mirror.

George Bush was not in office for the 80 years since 1929. He didn’t write every word of every budget. Nor has Obama – as much as I despise the man. We have only ourselves to blame for continually re-electing presidents and congressmen who place spending taxpayer money, elections, and politics over doing what is best for this country.

If only it were that easy to remove the stench from the current ‘pit stick’ challenged skunk in charge.

The revolting ‘ONE’ needs to face the tea-party revolts head-on.

Zero’s current lachrymose worthy displays of “I feel your pain” ala Bill Clinton circa 1992 are puke inducing.

I’m curious about what Mizter Prez is gon’ do when da dolla is worth a dime.

Hmph!

Exponential government expenditures in the face of declining revenues and no realistic way to pay for it has zero chance of working. Any economic recovery will take place despite the massive spending, which in itself is less likely the longer the spending continues.

A better analogy might be Obama sitting at the blackjack table having just busted, yelling “Hit me!”

AC wrote, . . . “You can’t possibly know whether or not Conservatives were bashing Bush because you, and your type, never listen to or read Conservative media.”

First, Steve P is absolutely right. The Republicans championed Bush and his policies right down the line until their abject failure became such a liability that they had to jettison W for fear he would ruin their election chances – once again Republicans casting off their charade of principled views in favor of self-interest.

Secondly, I read and watch conservative media far more than I do other media. I’m sure Steve P has plenty of exposure to the same. We know what’s said, what’s hypocritical and arbitrary, and what is pure theater (like the “budget-that-wasn’t” we just saw presented yesterday. Aren’t you folks embarrassed by such a lame and transparent attempt? You should be. John Boehner may be the most vacuous Congressman in history. I’m surprised he didn’t break out in a sobbing endorsement of fiscal restraint. Maybe a few lessons from Glen Beck on how to castrate yourself on national TV would help.)

Keep up the good work, Steve P. You got em chasing their tails.
