FOXNews headline today,

'Obama Not Serious About Debt'. Every poll, Dem and Repub, says that the issue most Americans are concerned about is jobs and employment, BY FAR. But, the Repubs, after totally trashing our economy, want to ram through cost-cutting measures, right at the time the people need help to recover from the last time they were in charge. Screw the economy/people, and maybe if it's bad enough they'll be stupid enough to put the Repubs back in charge. Wouldn't be the first time they took advantage of the sheep who get their news from FOX.

One would think, if Congress is actually serious about cutting cost, why not do away with some of their benefits. Actually they're not hurting in the wage department, so I would assume a few purges from the old basket of goodies they have voted themselves over the years could not break they backs. What these Congress men and women will receive in retirement would cause celebration for many a middle class individual.

All this "cost-cutting" bs is just that: bs. With 1.5 trillion dollar deficits, 4 billion is nothing.

After four years of Dem rule in the Senate and House, we have so much debt now that we'll never get out of it...and yet some people are still blaming the republicans.

Open your eyes, man!

It's called PORK, fool, and everyone uses it, Dem and Rep alike. You just can't blame one party over another. Also, we must stop funding overseas aid, such as sending tax dollars to countries to assist in repairing Mosques! This is supposedly to bolster relationship between Muslim and the West. LOL on that idea. And how about closing down some of our overseas military bases which are of no use in places such as Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Hawaii. It doesn't have to be a total pull-out, but closing a few bases overseas would help.
Government spending is out of control across the board, always has been. When you are spending someone else's money..hey what ya' gotta lose, eh?

Imagine that. Blaming the Repubs just cuz they took a great economy in 2000, and totally trashed it in the next 8 years to the point that the gov't is forced to spend trillions of dollars they don't have, just to try to keep it afloat. I know, those 8 yrs of Bush/Repub rule, leading up to it, was just a coincidence, with the 'oops, bad info war', oil prices up tenfold w/the Bush/Cheney oil cartel in charge, and the change in fanancial rules that allowed 'liar loans' to wreck the entire system. Yup. Poor George was just 'unlucky' it happened on his watch. GO back to your fantasy world and FOXNews, anon.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
