America's economy is failing to produce jobs, increase growth or raise confidence, and it will likely get even worse next year. Our federal government's spending has increased to $3.7 trillion this year from $2.98 trillion in 2008. Publicly held national debt is up by $2.4 trillion in less than two years, to about 63% percent of GDP from 40%, and is expected to reach 70% by 2012. Add in the unemployment rate, which has remained above 9.4% for over a year, and America is clearly failing economically.
Next January the economy will be further depressed by increasing tax rates. The top income tax rate will rise to 39.6% from 35%, and the phase-out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions will effectively lift the top bracket to about 40.8%. On New Year's Day the tax on dividends is scheduled to go up to 39.6% from 15%, and come 2013, ObamaCare will add another 3.8%.
Other bad public policies will further drag down the economy. ObamaCare will increase individual costs and expand the deficit. Failing energy policies, from Washington's inept response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to its effort to limit tapping America's oil supplies, will drive up our use of imported foreign oil beyond the current 67% of our country's oil consumption.

With me, it is utter disgust. Hillary and Bill are on the same page with the socialists. She has called herself a progressive on national TV. The soap opera of the Clintons to be inflicted on America once more, with their radical leftism thrown in. Two for one again and the MSM retooling history and reality. Using Obama to make Hillary look good is the way RATS work. It is the reverse of what they presented when the two were running against each other.
I blame anyone contributing to chaos. Including morons in the Republican party and morons on Free Republic. Now bow nicely and go away.
Ha! With THAT move, she might even get MY vote!
But, then you’d have to ask: “Why challenge him NOW, where were you when it mattered?”
True!!! However... if she gets back in the WH, maybe she’ll return the silverware
Hillary, Barry, Bill, most of the left are progressives...Pelosi and Reed have successfully sunk the Great American Dream with Obama's approval and Hillary would do exactly the same thing!....wonder if conservatives could get Tom Selleck to run...............? Seriously, the right needs to out shine the left starting NOW....Spines up and running!
Bill and Hill are socialists. Communists, to be exact. And Bill is the archicect of the current dilemma. Lots of trails and docs. Can't detail in any way here, but the "latest" list here:
lists some of it. Just added some of the documentation from Mestamachine. The list is without urls. Ping me if you want the relevant sites up in clear.
but even this moron in the White House is smart enough to know that anyone between Hildebeast and the White House is a dead man.
ping to #46
We be rollin’, fellas.
Nightwerk....
I rather doubt that.
He quite literally put her in the closest position in the line of succession that was possible.
He claims to think of himself as a modern Lincoln or Kennedy, and he is a jihadist he expects and indeed wants, to be martyred.
I take it back. I just proved your hypothesis, didn't I?
He did? How’s that?
The rest, is HISstory.
What you say is the truth, unfortunately. *sigh*
I think the absolute worst thing that could happen would be for some idiot to make him a martyr.
Every rotten thing he's ever even thought of would be rammed down our collective throats in memory of him, much the same way NASA used Kennedy's man on the moon speech to get enough funding to actually get a man on the moon by the end of the decade.
Me? I want to see him lead away in irons...
Hey, you are right, there is a silver (pun) lining. Unfortunately, it has A huge rip in it.
Thank you for the link. I will be checking it out later. As with Bill Clinton, there is a long list of books with information about Hillary and her socialist proclivities and radical leftism. She will look moderate after Obama has had his run at destroying our Republic, and finish any business he has left undone. Republicans and anybody who cares about this country must speak up now against this current sanitizing of Hillary Clinton.
Why switch one democrat for another when their polices will still be the same? America has to be taught lesson every 30 yers or so abouyt what complete liberla rule does....I think they know now and will remember until they forget again....

You have a masterfully moronic way of putting things. And an aversion to reason and analysis. So I’m still here.
Rofl. Please demonstrate your qualifications in reason and analysis. Long form! Chop,chop...
I did.
You didn’t.
