Yes, and one of them is flaglady47. You want to know how the political process works? You saw it tonight: The Democrats propose spending $1400 bn we don't have (in addition to another $2600 bn we shouldn't ne spending in the first place), and the Republicans kick and scream for a few hours on TV, and then give them -- LITERALLY 99% of everything they want.
It is YOU who live in Lalaland. It is YOU who are living in a fantasy world. YOU have no idea how dire our economic situation has become, and clearly on the basis of what happened last night, it is going to be even more dire next year, and the next.
And people like YOU are the problem. You think I am unreasonable for expecting $467 bn in cuts, yet you think nothing whatsoever of allowing 0 to borrow and spend three times that amount! What exactly was reasonable about our agreeing to that? What exactly was reasonable about allowing 0 to increase the size of the Federal government by 25% in 2009? We functioned perfectly well in 2008, spending $800 bn less -- in fact government was ALREADY TOO LARGE -- the year Bush left office.
When all the money you've ever saved in your life is wiped out by the inflationary tidal wave that's on it's way now, and when your children and grandchildren are crippled by debt, slaving all their lives for nothing, when The United States of America becomes a vassal state of totalitarian China, remember my words: YOU are a Quisling, and YOU are the problem.
Kudos. Not for assaulting flags poor reasoning but for stating the case precisely.
Hmmmmm, diagnosis, a hysteric. Been on the couch lately? You might want to consider it.
