Is it possible that Zero was actually a blessing in disguise? In 2008, liberals finally got the messianic affirmative action Marxist they’ve always wanted and both houses of Congress to go along with it. They had their way. And now they’ve seen how “their way” works. Or more precisely, fails to work.

Yes, many are waking up to Obama's failed economic policies. Unfortunately, we have too me "gimmes" in this country. Those on welfare, food stamps, and other welfare programs will NEVER vote against those who provide them such.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy,...

No one is sure where that quote came from, although many think is was from Alexander Tytler. No matter - it is an absolute truism!!! Give the "gimmes" what they want and they will continue to vote for those who give them more. Such is the situation in American and Europe.
