Im not some bleeding heart liberal and frankly Buddy Roemher should be getting more airwaves than any of the wack jobs and flip flopping piece of fill in the word. Estimates says the stimulus shouldve been 1.5 trillion. But instead they cut it down so half. On top of that it included tax cuts that economist said were ineffective. However like I said before it wouldnt have matter since republican governors were posturing. America would be alot better off if those assholes in washington did what was right for the people instead of them politically or for the oligarchs in true power. |
My point in my eariler post was just to say that if you are going to insult people like that, people won't take you seriously. Part of the problem with political debates today is that it ends in a fight between Republicans and Democrats, with each side using the term like an insult along with a host of other insults being thrown about. Both parties are guilty of this kind of thing, yet it does no good at all and serves only to divide the country. It is not just Republicans who are attacking Democrats (and yes, some of them are bad), but Democrats do it as well to Republicans (and some of them are equally bad).
I would hardly say that Obama is moving to the right. Being conservative does not involve massive government spending, which is what Obama has been doing.
When the right talks about taking the country back, it would depend on who you ask if you want to know who that refers to. And what governments have been "amping up Jim Crow laws" recently? I haven't heard anything about that, and I would imagine that would be huge news.
I fail to see how spending more money will help when the government is trillions of dollars in debt. It doesn't work for people, it doesn't work for companies, so why on earth would it work for a government? How would a bigger stimulus help?
That is something I can agree with. Both parties are doing this. And they shouldn't be.
