Obama really has his work cut out for himself as he tries to lift the country out of the 'Great Bush-Cheney Depression'........

everyone does realize that our govt doesn't make a dime, doesn't turn a profit, and is fully funded by us, the taxpayer-right? more, higher paying jobs are what pays govt, pays all their programs they push thru. and every time they add spending, where does the money come from to pay for it? us.
so, we have huge deficits that are driving down our dollar, and driving away investors-which has effects on growing our jobs here. so, what does our govt do to solve this problem? more spending, which creates a bigger deficit, whiche means less people wanting to invest in this country. after all, every time we borrow for our budget, someone is buying our bonds and such-we're asking countries to invest, while piling more mistakes on ones already made.
and now more spending passed after this 'stimulus' package he signed last tuesday...debt on top of the debt that's already made things difficult. tell me folks...if you want to have more money at the end of the month-do you get another credit card? ask for a raise? or do you cut your discretionary spending?

well, some of us still are...

but that's what they need to do-cut spending. if you don't want to increase taxes (but they will increase-the tax cuts that expire next year, as well as the plan to get rid of the advanced earned income credit mean increases in '10, but certainly far less of an increase than what's needed to cut the gap completely) but want to balance your budget, what else do you do? what else is there?

and congress just got a raise-good for them! they sure deserve it.

Bush and cheney may have HELPED put us in the toilet but Obama's solution to get out appears to be flush the toilet.

It just keeps getting worse for Bobby Jindal. Now it turns out that he has been forced to admit that the story he told during his "speech" about being in a local sheriff's office during Katrina is.....well.....just plain made up:

Of course you meant to say the Obama Depression. You might have noticed -- we have a new president now that the press can't get enough of. He gets all of it -- the glory, and the blame.

I'm going to try to avoid coming to this politics/society room from now on.
Reading nonsensical foolishness like this is just too depressing.

Pace yourself. Come in every 2nd or 3rd day. Coming in each day will probably take the life right out of you. The Conservatives are different though(this is the only place they have to release their venom.) I'd rather they do this than eat 2nd n' 3rd helpings at the Taco Bell.
