They’re cutting taxes to create jobs. So, they are leaving more money with the productive people who made it and letting them decide whether to spend it or save it or invest it. What a novel concept!!!!!!!!

Deporting every “immigrant” on welfare will help quite a bit.

"It is all geared to creating jobs," Chancellor Angela Merkel saidThis German socialist Merkel can admit the obvious relationship between tax cuts and job creation only because she doesn't NEED massive, increasing unemployment in order to pass socialist health care. Ubama, on the other hand, will not cut taxes and will in fact increase them dramatically by allowing the Bush tax levels to sunset. Ubama NEEDS more desperate unemployed Americans in order to pass his socialist health care.
Tough crap for those who are unemployed. Tough crap for America.
"Congratulations, America, on your historic election."

Back at the ranch, the rats prepare to drop a tax bomb on the economy to continue their war on capitalism.

So long as they don’t get notion to start oppressing the Jews and not go goose-stepping outside its borders. Putting a stop to Muslim immigration and kick the rest of them out I’m ok with that.

Yeah, Westerwelle's gay:
But it's not like he will travel draped in a rainbow-colored flag. First of all, there will most likely be no official mention of the fact that he's gay by any Arab officials. And secondly, it's a question of power and interdependence, plain and simple. Germany's the world's fourth largest econonomy (after the US, China and Japan) and probably half of Saudi Arabia's military equipment has German parts in it. So when Angela Merkel visited Saudia Arabia, protocoll officials simply informed the Arabs that the German chancellor won't be wearing a headscarf - and noone made a fuzz.
Same for Condi Rice. Pelosi on the other hand...

They used to call it the “German disease” in the 1900s. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. lol.
