This used to be an uplifting place to come to but lately it’s full of the most defeatest, negative, pessimistic thinking people around. It’s very depressing. To a lot of posters here the glass is not only not half full it doesn’t even have a drop in it. I think some of them are so used to getting outsmarted that they just can’t see that we won this one.
I still say this is a good deal that Republicans got considering we only have 1/2 of 1/3 of the government. The only thing Obama got that he wanted was to extend it past the next election. Frankly I also think that is in our favor because he will continue to screw up the economy so bad that unless we do something stupid we have an excellent chance to take both the senate and the white house and then we can really do some serious cutting. And by doing something stupid I mean having conservatives sit out the next election because they are to busy sitting at home pouting and sulking that we didn’t cut 10 trillion dollars up front.
Saying that we have 1/2 of 1/3 of government is Boehner misinformation.
The Republicans actually have 1/3 of government.
One can say that we have 1/3 of government, since we control the House.
Or one can say that we have 1/3 of government, since we control ~~ 1/2 the House and ~~1/2 the Senate.
LOL
Cordially,
its full of the most defeatest, negative, pessimistic thinking people around. Its very depressing.

how many millions of Americans have NO JOB?
or have families hurting because of food and gas prices?
YOU don’t understand, that a LOT of people, including some FReepers, aren’t going to make it until 2013!
massive cuts in TAXES, OR SPENDING, HELP the economy.
the GOP had a real chance to do more.
(in fact, doing NOTHING, would have cut spending drastically!)
YOU seem to think the economy getting worse, is a GOOD thing. it seems to make you HAPPY, because you think it will help us win in 2012:
“Frankly I also think that is in our favor because he will continue to screw up the economy so bad that unless we do something stupid we have an excellent chance to take both the senate and the white house and then we can really do some serious cutting.”

yes, winning all three in 2012, will be great. we’ll have a 17.5 trillion dollar debt, a crippled economy, double digit inflation and unemployment, and a downgraded AAA rating, which will increase the cost of our crushing debt even more.

i’m glad you are so happy,
but even if we win the battle, the war is lost.
