It’s easy to deduce for yourself, just ask, what is the long term for the make work gubbermint jobs? There is none, when the money runs out it’s back to the unemployment line.

You build infrastructure as you need it, only a gubbermint fool thinks they can plan and build infrastructure in advance. In advance of what?

Extend the 2001 and 2003 tax reductions for as long as possible

That will never happen under 0bama.
He will sunset those, then institute his own tax package and then say, "See? I said I'd lower taxes!"

Net gain = zero.

We are essentially, with this economic crisis-—seeing the crackup of FDR’s New Deal programs......It is Obama’s biggest problem.

The moral of Atlas Shrugged is simply this: Politicians invariably respond to crises — that in most cases they themselves created — by spawning new government programs, laws and regulations. These, in turn, generate more havoc and poverty, which inspires the politicians to create more programs . . . and the downward spiral repeats itself until the productive sectors of the economy collapse under the collective weight of taxes and other burdens imposed in the name of fairness, equality and do-goodism.

We need many more, much louder voices shouting this from the rooftops...the NEW DEAL WAS A FAILURE. It’s time to put FDR in his proper place in history...he was a flop, nothing more.

And, today, we are headed down precisely the same path, but with a much, much higher price tag. This must stop.

It’s time to refresh the tree of Liberty, IMO.

Got this in an email today, is this an accurate quote of Karl Marx?
“Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more, and more, and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more, and more expensive credits, until these become unbearable. The unpaid debt will then lead to the bankruptcy of banks which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.”

Karl Marx, 1867

When the #2 office of Citi is one of obozo’s biggest fundraiser, the RATS will spend more. Before Christmas the horrific bailout was $750 billion. After January 1 when the RATS too majority control of Congress, the bailout is now $850 billion and the price just keeps on increasing.

SUPER POST, I LOVE IT.

When President “I wish he was’t” Obambi talks about numbers you can be certain that his office will employ enough people to keep the numbers right, and that also comes with ketchup, but only if you ask for it, Yes it will come to pass that as a dude like myself, that pulls into MCDonalds or other franchise, I will have to pay 2 to 3 times more for that burger. Yea and can I have three scoops of inflation with that?
And stupid old people on fixed incomes voted for this empty tard, well not my ma, and I am damn proud of that.

Doubtful real, in Marx’s era there was little borrowing.

to disagree with the current government economic policy is “fringe”?

Then I am fringe and proud to join at least 58 million others on the “fringe”. It’s not a lonely place to be.

Well according to him, China's infrastructure is more advanced than ours.

Could it be perhaps that they're infrastructure is newer, due to the fact that our Wal Mart shoppers have transferred so much of America's wealth to that country over the past 15 years or so, that their factories and export facilities demanded it?

I bet that he never considered that.

China’s infrastructure is more advanced because it was all built in the last twenty-five years.

Furthermore, in China there are no environmental impact statements, no regulations that cannot be ignored, no obstructive lawsuits and best of all, small landowners and businesses can simply be kicked out of the way.

You jest, right? you obviously haven't been to china where the average person has nothing an walks around with straw shoes and what could best be described as cotton government furnished rags. The TV cities you see aren't 10% of the whole, which for the most part on a good day resembles a third world basket case.

You remember the Olympics, the TV cameras were not allowed out of Beijing. I wonder why. Our TV lords did the same thing with the Soviet Union, and lately Iraq. Haven't you seen enough pictures of that one room Cuban hospital to make you suspicious?

As for the money they get from Walmart shoppers, after they spend what they need to make the factories run, the Communist government spends the rest on the military. You didn't think those were real private comapnies, did you?

Of course! But don't your recall Obama commenting in his campaign about how China was so ahead of the U.S. because of all they're so called "infrastructure"?
