Jobless rate keeps soaring - Obama explanation? "We created, or saved, a million stimulus jobs." Sure ya did Biden. Check out the national debt clock for any progress. It isn't there. Tax revenues up? No, that's what keeps the fed alive. So what has to happen next? We're seeing it. Health care reform is now a disguised tax on all Americans. Cap and Tax will be the largest tax increase ever passed on us if we let the Senate do that hat trick.
Keep calling, writing, faxing and e-mailing these idiots. Enough is enough. The recession is hardly over. Cooked books are the trick of the day anymore.

- "Somehow, the idea that Congress will stay largely intact because of voter gratitude over passing a 1900-plus page monstrosity that STILL has death panels, has abortions, and takes away medical choice any time a private plan is tweaked in any way seem a bit far-fetched."

Once the 2010 elections are over, and the dumbos come out on top the new civil war will start. Many, many dumbos will lose their lives for a lost cause known as socialism.
Oh sure Otraitor will declare Martial law, but that when the states themselves will start to break away from the US government, and then Washington DC will collapse in on itself, and implode. Then we can get back to the constitution, and the free market economy and begin again to prosper.
bama doesn't care about people having affordable health care, he just wants a piece of paper that looks like it.
bama doesn't care about babies, he wants them ground up and made into new wrinkle cream.
He will stand before God and have to give account for the decisions he has made.
I pray this doesn't pass. But, whatever the outcome, I will continue to trust God.

The GDP grew last quarter. If you look at the definition of "Recession," it ended. That doesn't mean that the economy has recovered.
That doesn't mean that the effects of the banking/financial disaster and the previous 5 quarters of economic contraction have disapeared. The economy shrunk almost 9% and then grew 3%; that's still 6% gone. Business credit is still tight, consumers are still afraid to spend, and even though companies' stock value and profits did o.k. in the last few months, this hasn't translated into hiring. Even if things keep going o.k., it still means that we won't have recovered until the middle of next year.
These idiots are soon going to realize that Americans are a whole lot smarter then they were last year.
Funny, the Reagan tax cuts, like similar measures enacted in the 1920s and 1960s, showed that reducing excessive tax rates stimulates growth, reduces tax avoidance, and can increase the amount and share of tax payments generated by the rich. High top tax rates can induce counterproductive behavior and suppress revenues, factors that are usually missed or understated in government static revenue analysis. Furthermore, the key assumption of static revenue analysis that economic growth is not affected by tax changes is disproved by the experience of previous tax reduction programs. (From joint Economic committee Jun 1996) They can't even learn from lessons learned.
