"Waxman is an incompetent sissy fool."

I wouldn't rate him that high. You are far to charitable.

If he hadn’t increased taxes, he would not have needed to increase spending at all.

It's never enough for the loons. FDR spent all we had and still only ended up with the same unemployment lines and huge debt.

WWII bailed out FDR, who lengthened the Great Depression by seven years, so say researchers.

The Stimulus Package pork barrel spending reparations to Democrat voters is nothing more than giveaway of other peoples money and their future children's money. The printing presses cannot just be turned on when you want to without consequences.

America does not want to be Zimbabwe or Kenya. And I doubt the hopenchange crowd voted for communism.

OK, You asked for it

A government grant is free money that the government is required to give away. Every year, the government gives billions of dollars to individuals and businesses, just like you, to buy a house, start a business, pay for college, buy equipment, pay salaries, buy school supplies, get out of debt, buy clothing, pay for camp, pay for music or art lessons, paying off your medical bills, pay for gas for your car, and anything else you can dream of.

If he had repealed Smoot Hawley and worked with other nations to ease their tariffs and quota's, the economy would have been back on track by 35.

But like now, our glorious leaders had no f’king clue what they were doing.

They were too stupid to know what they were voting for.

That's my contention as well. Stupid is the right word for Obama voters.

UCLA study from a few years ago says that FDR spent too much and PROLONGED the Great Depression by 9 to 13 years. Isn’t Waxman from So. Cal, perhaps he should listen to one of the top universities in the world that also happens to be located in his back yard.

It’s hard to know whether Waxass is a funny looking guy who’s really stupid or a really stupid guy who’s funny looking.
