Clearly points to the cancer. During Bush 2 Nancy took over the speakers chair. Well look at what happened. Un controlled spending, New agencies, on and on. This is the first chance to stop the madness.
This has to be reversed, not just stopped. They were put there in overwhelming numbers to do just that. If the house does not, Good luck to them., and us all
Exactly. That is the most under-reported story of the past four or five years. Spending has increased to insane levels. Now that it is at an all time high, Obama wants to "compromise." Its the old story of Dems proposing a $100 spending increase and the GOP "compromising" on a $50 spending increase. And Wall Street is too short sighted or corrupted by crony capitalism to demand a stop to the Ponzi scheme.
And while Obama and Pelosi have jacked spending up to insane levels, never forget that Lyndon Baines Bush and the "Republican" Congress of the early 2000s set the stage with what was, at that time, crazy levels of spending. Remember that "Compassionate Conservatism" was about pushing big government conservatism, whatever that means. It was a poison that got us where we are now.
