![Accept - Metal Heart [Full Album]](http://images.sodahead.com/polls/003702865/5651702370_0_large.jpeg "Accept - Metal Heart [Full Album]")
Let's recap $5 Trillion in spending Backwards: Obama ate dog, Secret Service, GSA, Zimmerman, War on Women, War on Religion, NDAA, (135 regulations) Keystone Pipeline, SOPA/PIPPA/ACTA, Fast & Furious, Solyndra, Net Neutrality, Obamacare, Patreiot Act, 8% Unemployment, Afghanistan, Bank Bailout, Cash4Clunkers, Auto Bailout, inaugaration, Empty promises.
Doesn't know difference between spending and deficit (nor what drives either of them); doesn't know difference between eating dog served to you as a child and adult decision to abuse your pet as an adult; thinks President runs the Secret Service personally; thinks President is personally responsible for excessive spending by everyone in government; thinks the President is somehow connected to a paranoid gun-toting racist; confusing the President with the Republican Party; repeating Faux News claims without an iota of proof...
sorry, too bored to go on. Maybe you could reply with facts instead of catch phrases next time.
Romney will ensure this by surrounbding himself with fiscal conservatives.
Believe me, I don't think he's any more capable than you do, but his VP will be and so will the house and senate which will be controlled by republicans.
Look people, Obama is a communist pure and simple. There is no one that can legitimately make any claim to the contrary. And please don't put forward any video of Obama because the guy is incapable of speaking the truth.
Under Pravda (a.k.a. Bloomberg) the article is intellectually disingenuous because Bush did not pass health care legislation which will impact 1/6th of the total US economy. The argument assumes also that simply because Bush passed these regs, therefore conservatives approve. Bad laws, like No Child Left Behind and the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit were bad law which implemented bad regs. Hence, comparing bad behavior by a so-called conservative with similar actions by a communist and then legitimizing the behavior of the commie is offensive!!
Unfortunately Bush is actually a big government, big spending, crony capitalist progressive, which is essentially a different side of the same coin of American socialism. The difference between a progressive and a commie like Obama, is the speed of destroying America.
Now, when will you wake up?
The votes of Congress on Obama's budget proposals are Congressional and public record and available by Googling any news source including the New York Times which is an Obama fan. Even the NYT cannot ignore the facts.
The Bush tax cuts benefited everyone who had a job and was paying taxes...not just the wealthy. Those former cuts are now the tax norm. To eliminate those cuts is the same as raising taxes for everyone, which might not be a bad idea provided that the increase in revenue is geared to lowering the debt and not funding Obama's and Congress' frivolous spending policies. For Obama's administration to raise taxes now prior tho the election is political suicide. If the Republicans win in November (and it is beginning to look like they just might), they will be forced to raise taxes...and not just on the wealthy. Raising taxes only on the wealthy will not help at all. It will have to be on everyone.
Corporations are and have been leaving the U.S. for many reasons, the number one being that the corporate tax rate in the U.S. at 38% is now the highest in the world. Since this is now a global competitive market, no big business in the U.S. can survive if ...

Corporations are and have been leaving the U.S. for many reasons, the number one being that the corporate tax rate in the U.S. at 38% is now the highest in the world. Since this is now a global competitive market, no big business in the U.S. can survive if its main offices and manufacturing plants reside here. A good example of this is General Electric. By moving over seas, they were able, with billions of dollars of revenue, pay no taxes in the U.S....and only a small amount to China and Ireland.
So why has not the Obama administration done anything to entice manufacturing back to the U.S. Could it be that those big businesses are substantial contributors to his campaign fund?
It took me a while to wake up....now it is your turn.
The improvement in the economy has only been on paper. In reality we still have over a 15% unemployment rate and a current 1.7% GNP....up 0.3% ...still negative after three years. Canada, on the other hand, has been able to recoup to an almost 7% GNP, 1% over their norm of 6%. What's wrong with the U.S. economy? After three years, it "ain't" Bush or the Republicans.
The worst recession/depression in the U.S. was in 1920...not 1929. Calvin Coolidge and Warren Harding implemented the following:
1) A national budget program
2) National debt reduction
3) Tax reduction
4) An emergency tariff to protect American industry and farm commodities.
5) Farm relief legislation (farm bankruptcies were up 20% from 1914).
6) Immigration restrictions to protect American jobs.
The recession/depression was over in less than two years. Obama has done just the opposite except for #5...the current housing industry relief, which hardly anyone can take advantage of due to the red tape.
The next depression began in 1929, not as severe as the one in 1920
FDR created all kinds of government projects, e.g., the TVA, WPA, etc., and infused tons of money into the economy....sound familiar...it's called a "stimulus" today . It took mor...

FDR created all kinds of government projects, e.g., the TVA, WPA, etc., and infused tons of money into the economy....sound familiar...it's called a "stimulus" today . It took more than 16 years and a world war to get us out of that one. Before FDR's death, he acknowledged that he was wrong. His policies were the same or similar to Obama's current policies.
It has been both parties' policies which have caused the failures....starting in the 1960's with the Johnson administration's transferring the the Social Security Trust Fund (yes, we actually had one then) into the General Fund in order to pay for the Viet Nam conflict. Since then, just about every member of Congress and every administration's spending bills have dipped into that fund to pay for their pet projects...like 2 million for a limestone museum in Idaho, or a quarter of a million for a project to determine why a tricycle tips over, or "the Bridge to Nowhere," etc., etc.,etc....oh yes, and the Iraq conflict and the Afghanistan conflict, supported by both parties. Kudos to Obama for at least making a determined effort to eliminate pork barrel legislation (earmarks)
DO NOT JUST BLAME ONE SIDE....and the blame is on neither side. The blame rests on us, you and I, who neglected our duty as watchdogs over our government.
I had great hopes for Obama, but if you drop back ten yards, this president has no record on which to run, save one...the assassination of Osama bin Ladin....but even the authority to carry out that mission was implemented by the former president.
