Republicans want government off our backs
When the economy is good the Republicans want government off our backs, but when the economy is bad the government is the first place the Republicans run to for help. Nice. Maybe corporations should take responsibility for their own actions, and if they screw up and need the government to intercede then maybe they should both expect and accept higher taxes as a consequence. Lowering taxes has never worked to keep our jobs in the country. We've been doing that steadily for the past three decades with zero effect.
I ask all the readers of this blog, to take a stand with me, and vote out & recall as many Republicans as possible during the 2012 elections.
Remember "Greed is Good" ?
Capitalism does work, it just needs to be watched, guided and corrected when necessary. Regulation is necessary to keep capitalism in check. We have all seen the results of capitalism when left unchecked. Remember "Greed is Good" but it needs to be reigned in to keep it from destroying Democracy.
There is a storm that is coming in a year or two, when too many families have been without a wage earner for way too long, & it will be immense.
There is only one solution.
Where are the jobs?
((Overseas))!
Who sent them there?
((American corporations supported by Republicans))
How to get them back?
Make it extremely painful for these corporations to do business overseas.
End of problem.

Big Philosophical Divide
There is a "big philosophi cal divide" between Washington and Americans. Trillions of dollars for Wars, Billions of dollars for Bank Bailouts and Special Interests such as Renewable Energy, Billions in increases for the Pentagon to spend in other countries, now Millions to Libya, more tax cuts for the wealthy and the first thing, not the Last, Washington want to balance the budget on the backs of the poor, disabled and elderly Americans while the cost of food and energy skyrockets . I'll take a Republican 's proposal seriously when it doesn't include kickbacks for the wealthiest Americans at the expense of the poor, elderly, and teachers.
I ask all the readers of this blog, to take a stand with me, and vote out & recall as many Republican s as possible during the 2012 elections.

The groundwork for job loss
The groundwork for job loss was mostly the work of Reagan, Bush Sr., and W. Bush Junior. This was all well under way before Obama stepped into the Whitehouse. Our wonderful corporations made the job losses many times worse, by using the banking bailout as a great distraction to do some major outsourcing in 2008-2009.
We've been focked by our leaders economic policies bought and paid for by the corporate bottom dollar.
Benito Mussolini- dictator of Italy during world war II stated: FACISM Should more rightly and appropriately Be called corporatism, because it is a merger between corporation and government. The GAS & OIL PARTY aka GOP are pushing this country to a fascist govt, whereby the wealth and corporations control and dictate to govt. This country will no longer be "We the People," but instead "We the Corporation.

I read here that Obama killed the American Dream
I'll take a Republican's proposal seriously when it doesn't include kickbacks for the wealthiest Americans at the expense of the poor, elderly, and teachers.
I read here that Obama killed the American Dream...how foolish. I think maybe Bush had a bigger hand in that then Obama did. Obama is the reason the country is still running....did you miss the last 10 years? Did you all miss the mess he got handed to him when he took office??? Was anyone here alive thru the Bush years???
I mean what happened to our country, greed took it over and ruined us, everyone always wanting more, never appreciating what we have.

A history lesson on the deficit and the differences between the parties
A history lesson on the deficit and the differences between the parties:
First the GOP gave everyone massive deficit causing tax cuts while saying, dont worry about the deficit, the tax cuts will cause economic prosperity and increase tax revenue.
Then they push to invade the wrong country while letting the mission in the right country get totally mismanaged, all while putting the bill for this war on the national credit card.
Then they didnt pay attention to signs of the economy going off a cliff, due to their own economic priority of deregulating the financial industry
Then Obama takes office with the economy losing 700K jobs/month, but in the 2 yrs since then has net positive 1mil+ jobs created. This is after total net jobs were lost over his predecessor's 8 years (see First above...so much for economic prosperity).
Then a bunch of GOPers who voted for Bush twice rename themselves Tea Party members out of embarassment and shame at the past 8 years, and hope they can misdirect the anger in the population at the results of the policies they spent 8 years supporting.
Then the GOP obstruct as much jobs legislation as possible in the senate while pointing fingers at the dems saying they arent doing enough about the jobs situation. As one pundit put it, its like they lit the house on fire and now stand there with stop signs blocking the fire trucks.
Then they run on the need to cut spending, despite CAUSING THIS PROBLEM THROUGH THEIR OWN POLICIES (see above)
Then the GOP get elected on a mandate they'll create jobs but after the election they immediately hold UI benefits and middle class tax cuts hostage unless those making 1mil+ get their tax cut extended too. The end result is extensions of these tax cuts at a cost of 70bil+/yr. So much for the deficit and fiscal responsibility. (jobs?)
Then their first bill through the house attempts to redefine rape to restrict a woman's abortion rights in rape situations, as well as reducing womens' rights in general by making date rape much more easily defendable in court (jobs?)
Then they attach riders to the 2011 budget attacking womens' healthcare, the EPA, and school lunches for poor kids(jobs?)
Then these Tea Party members (ie ex-Bush supporters) get 235 of their members to commit political suicide by voting to end medicare while giving the rich YET ANOTHER massive unnecessary tax cut.
Then the adults raise some taxes, close some loopholes, cut a little spending, and balance the budget without tossing the elderly into the gutter; and in '12 they toss the GOP/Tea Party into the gutter instead.
Yep, I think that about sums it up.

None of the possible Republican contenders have anything different to bring to the table, let alone this country...
The USA or the GOP....?
