Ok I get it. Obamba and his ilk is bad for us. I can see what the future may hold for us for the next 2 years. But what I don’t get is what is what is change going to do for us? Just stopping Obamba? The people that are hurting about the Home issue don’t have any answers , other than get a job and pay. Well, there aren’t any jobs, except for Govt. Construction can’t build a home for less than what the forclosures are selling for, so they are out of business. Retail is dying. I just visited Reno Nev, and you wouldn’t believe the empty buildings in downtown, and Tahoe is almost a ghost town. TV, Radio are making the sentiment in this nation and they are part of the problem. There are real good citizens that are hurting and are embarrassed. I haven’t heard one real answer for the ones hurting from any party. I am disgusted, but I have voted already and I did vote a block Rep. and my kids did as well, but Im not happy.
The answer is there is no one answer—that’s the entire problem with liberal ideas about government. Your experience is your experience, I get that, but it doesn’t resemble mine, for example. Doesn’t make either one less valid, but what government program or initiative is going to ‘work’ for both of us?
The answer is, whichever government initiative that’s going to allow those who can create jobs and economic growth work in YOUR part of the country to do what works for them, and those in MY part do what works for us.
What that means to me is not sending people to Washington to “do stuff” as much as it is sending them there to cut the freakin weeds that are choking initiatives by the enterpreneurs great and small. Pols win votes by telling us they’re going to go down to DC and work hard—which is exactly what causes all of these problems, pols inventing laws and regulations so they can say “See? Look what I did!” When the reality is, the best thing they could do is slash the amount of time Congress is in session.
We need citizens to educate themselves about who and what creates economic opportunity and growth (two different but related things, of course). We don’t need people voting R or D and saying, “OK, go make laws that fix stuff!”
I am not being a smart a$$. The first step to solving a problem is admitting that the problem exists. To prevent driving off the cliff, quickly remove foot from gas pedal and place it firmly on the breaks. Praying sometimes also helps in such situations. We know the problem is on both sides. But the side with the greatest number of socialists with their leader passing laws are the D’s and the side with all the few conservatives in existence are the R’s. The conservatives are the break pads. Without conservatives there would be no stopping this wreck. If we do manage to stop safely, then next comes mapping a new route. We need only to toss the map we’ve been using, over the cliff and turn ourselves around. To completely chart a new course, we almost surely need to replace the driver. Having him arrested for driving while indoctrinated might be one way to go. Leading him to a long straight road to nowhere also might keep him from doing any more harm. But if we don’t stop now, the new map won’t change the rapid decent just up the road there. I am SO glad you can see the edge coming fast like I do. STOP the damn car on Tuesday. Let’s start charting a new map on Thursday. On Wednesday, I need to get some sleep.
If you’ve never done it, take a little time and read up on Art Laffer’s tax theories. He is not hard to understand.
Tax cutting works every time it is tried, independent of the party trying it. JFK, Reagan, and even Bush 43, as far as he went with it. Sensible tax policy that favors the private sector can work wonders. And rather quickly, too.
Counter Revolutions are never easy. This Delection is a No Confidence vote on Obama. I predict Impeachment. He is going Rouge.
1) Repeal Obozo care- this will reduce a mandated burden on businesss
2) Genuine insurance overhaul- Portable coverage, Sale acrss stae lines, limits on lawsuits- This will make the insurance market competitive, leading to lower costs.
3) Lower income tax- both coporate and personal.- It is your money, not the governments if you have motre it you will either spend it, save, it, or invest it, all of which will get the nation moving again. If you save it, then banks have more available to lend out, if you spend it then business will need to create new jobs, if you invest it you will help to get the economy moving by supporting american business rather than over seas business.
4) Reduce govenment oversite- getting rid of stupid laws will lower their costs and our prices.
Yeah it sounds simnplistic, but that is a good start

Since he’s a communist bastard wreaking destruction on America, that would be JUST FINE for starters.
>> The people that are hurting about the Home issue don’t have any answers , other than get a job and pay.
Uh, quite a few of “the people” — the responsible ones — aren’t hurting about the “home” issue, which I take to mean “the inability to make payments on the big assed overpriced home I bought with my liars loan and no money down because... well, because I could and I figured it would ONLY GO UP in price FOREVER”.
So what are you looking for? Obama to dip into his “stash” and ladle out some money into your hand to make your “home” payment?
SCREW FREELOADERS
Honestly?
The fact of the matter is, if folks cannot afford their payments, they are going to lose their home, there is no State policy that can reverse that, there is no magic job creating policy, not even tax cuts, that will create 6 million jobs overnight, it will not happen.
I do think there are some things that can and should be done to make that less painful, for example a foreclosed home not staying on a credit history for 7 yrears, but at the end of it all, the malinvestment simply has to be vomitted up and out before there is any hope of the economy functioning once again.
