I have written a page or so rebutting some finer points of your argument but I have found that I have lost heart in it. Why? because taken overall- you are correct (don’t tell ANYONE). So, what happens now? How exactly do we get out of this mess? Because, despite the Democrats screaming and ranting and crying about the Bush spending, they have taken the credit card and are out at the mall going on a binge. I actually think that they simply cannot help themselves. Yes, we are in for pain ahead, yes people are going to hurt, ( not sure I am with you on the tax increases though) But I can certainly attest to the fact that increasing entitlements, reducing the amount of people with ‘skin in the game’ and increasing government size and power are not the way to go.
Jobs? yea, they haven’t done well on that huh? Jobs are critical now, and the government does not seem to be finding policy that is working, well ,if you do not buy the “saved or created” phrase they like to tout. People are in trouble and the Democrats are focused on Healthcare. They need to be looking at supporting and increasing private sector jobs, not growing government, or pushing union positions. California here we come.
Both parties need to focus on this, and I wish they would be having a real deficit or rather debt summit instead of this healthcare summit farce they are forcing on us. Its time to get serious.
(and I am pleased to hear you are tuning into Beck, I think he brings up some very interesting points and asks some tough questions)
(Oh one more thing- hypocrisy? from the republicans on spending money they voted against? I must say, that if a HUGE pot of money is made available to spend, after being passed into law by the Democratic Majority, do you really expect the Republicans to stand aside and say, “Oh no, we are not going to take any money, we do not agree with the spending. Yes, all our constituents, and their children will have to pay the bill, but we are not going to apply or ask for any money, we will simply let all the Dems use it up and spend it on all their pet projects. Now, that said, I believe they ought to be more honest about it and say that they hate the spending but are gonna get theirs. Ideally, they might be able to get the money and simply hand it out to their constituents as a protest against the spending and allow the constituents use it to pay their taxes.
For hypocrisy, here is a much better play: Biden taking credit for success in Iraq (after voting AGAINST the surge)? or even better, how about this gem I stumbled upon today:
Hypocrisy is rampant and everywhere so much so that it is a useless charge either way.
