At the risk of getting flamed off this board - I must point to something quite important...
George W. Bush bears the lion’s share of the blame for the economy. It is his lack of guts to VETO the out-of-control spending, the irresponsible folding to environmental wack-jobs, and his overall poor example on the fiscal front has us in this position.
Spending - even when the PUBs had the majority, spending was out of control. And now with the libs in the majority, the spending hasn’t stopped. And yet the veto pen just doesn’t seem to have much ink in it...
His lack of guts to stand up for drilling our own oil, for opening up new refineries, and capitulating to the farm industry...
And whats with his man in the FED? He seems to think that printing US Dollars like Monopoly money is a good idea... With spending at some $360 billion more per year than taken in by the federal government - just print more to cover your debts...
And I didn’t even mention government encouragement for “universal ownership”.... the idea that everyone deserves to OWN a home of their own.
But I suppose there will be plenty of flames for me, so I had better put on my fire-resistant PJs....
Ya won’t get any “heat” from me Battman. LOL
I still remember what a reeeeeeel conservative POTUS did even with a ‘Rat controlled congress...and GWB is no RR!
And the only way we are ever going to get out of this mess is if true blue conservatives start running for public office on the local, state & federal levels and we start supporting & electing them. Until we have a better field of conservative governors to run for POTUS; things are not going to get much better...
