As long as these people follow Keynsian Economics we will be in trouble in the short term, with catastrophe and unpayable debt in the long term. Wonder what the FINAL tax rates will be for ALL Americans? Congressional members of both parties better put a stop to this before we are crippled for generations.

November showed only 11,000 jobs lost - compared to 740,000 jobs lost under last month of Bush administration. There's been a nearly 60% increase in the DOW since the recovery was passed. Tax cuts have made up abotu 50% of the recovery dollars that have gone out. It shocks me that you would be against aid to states...C'Mon Brian - aren't you supposed to be the tax expert? The states have a balanced budget requirement. If the Fed Gov't doesn't provide any aid, they will have to make cuts to schools, police, fire, health and other critical services OR raise taxes to make up the shortfalls. It was due to the devestating policies of the GOP over the past 8 years and their utter lack of financial responsibility. It was the right that did away with pay-as-you-go and then passed TWO stimulus packages (2001 and 2003 - which by the way was twice as costly as the Obama recovery package) made up of tax cuts to the rich and passed the 2003 Medicare bill - all of these gigantic bills were unpaid for, since the Republican congress decided to get rid of pay-go. And with takign the big surplus and creating an even bigger deficit, putting the economy on such a terrible track that revenues from payroll, income, property and sales all plummeted, which has hit the states awfully hard. To say stimulus spending does not work is absolutely ridiculus - all ideology and no fact. McCain's own chief economist, Mark Zandi, would tell you how wrong you are and how well the stimulus has worked. I cannot imagine how dire things would be if there was no recovery package. We all saw how well your right wing policies worked over from 2001 through 2008. It put us in the worst economic situation since the great depression. So Brian, you quote Einstein again - Albert Einstein famously defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” You want to keep doing what got us in this horrible mess in the first place.

North Dakota is represented by a man named Byron Dorgan who asks how high when Premier Obama tells him to jump. It has to end. Spend like crazy and tax the next four generations into oblivion. North Dakota is running a Fargo businessman named Paul Sorum this time around and he's really rising in the polls. He's fiscally responsible and he's not afraid of the tax and spend crazies from both sides of the aisle. Let's put Paul Sorum into the United States Senate. I'm voting for him and urge others to do so as well. Dorganomics simply isn't working. 2010 will be the year to vote out some of these out of control spenders.

Hughes, Texas Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:24:15 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=22108#comment-75914 Brian hit the proverbial nail dead on. My exact thoughts on congress' healthcare bill. Government run (socialized) medicine has been proven time and again to offer very little in return for the massive tax dollars pumped in. This wasteful truth contradicts leftist propaganda. Lets mold reality to fit the left's fictional world. Such fact twisting is not far removed from Hitler's wished for pure Aryan society. This statement is not intended as an insult but rather a warning. Our founding fathers fully understood the human creature. Yes, times have changed but people do not. Therein is the genius of America's written constitution. Our founders' gift to help guide future generations toward an independent, productive and prosperous future.

This is like a parrent who just wants to appease their children, but not deal with the root of the problem. The best parrents are the ones that may not be liked by their kids when they are young (because they dont give them everything), but are apreciated later in life for the tough decisions they made when it was important. I see this administration as not mature enough, or willing to do the right thing, but is willing to "spoil" whoever they need to in order to get what "they" want.
