“This one was a complete political success, because we are now talking about who is to blame for not coming up with a way of solving the fiscal crisis, rather than who did the runaway spending that caused that crisis in the first place.”
Money quote. Sowell cuts to the heart of it.
Thanks for the ping jaz.
The game continues. Politicians win, American people lose. Throw them all out.
Patriots in congress could refuse to ok a budget and any continuing resolutions until there is say a 50% across the board budget cut. We are not doomed if we choose to be free!
who did the runaway spending that caused that crisis in the first place ?
Scrooge McDuck
“who did the runaway spending that caused that crisis in the first place”
Bush failed to veto some of it, but the bulk of it came under a demonrat congress and Chairman Maobama.
The other night some media slugs broadcast a film of that despicable scoundrel talking, and before I could find the remote I heard some of what he was saying. It was as though my very humanity was being raped.
He was blaming it all on “the republicans.” The republicans weren’t willing to listen to reason, they were playing politics, they rejected all the demonrats’ sensible proposals...
I came to on the bathroom floor, after very nearly barfing myself right to death.
I don’t know what can be done about this. One of the political parties has taken over everything—the schools, the media, the courts, the bureaucracies, everyfargingthing—and they are not merely willing to lie, they consider it their main strategy.
At the same time, they have dumbed down education in the US to the point that many cannot see that they are being lied to, and have expanded the franchise to include those most succeptible to believing their crap.
I don’t know what can be done.
I’m to the point where I’d tell all of the Republicans to sit on their hands. Vote present.
Ball is in your court Democrats.
I hear you. Liberalism, leftism, Marxism, etc. has spread through government and our society via unions and education, it’s got to be countered.
I guess the first thing is to get conservatives in the WH for a lot of years to get it done but it’ll be a long process.
“I’m to the point where I’d tell all of the Republicans to sit on their hands.”
They never should have agreed to participate in that charade in the first place.
Verily art they the Partius Stupidimus Maximus.
I’ll be brief: We. Are. So. Screwed.
Hunker down. Hold your family close and stock up on essentials. If you need to make any big purchases, make them now and then hunker down even further...
It’s going to get really, REALLY ugly. Carter Redeux on STEROIDS.
Life, as we know it, is pretty much over...
Great...just great. Thanks to all the anti-Free-America losers. Thanks.
Unless I’m misunderstanding your post to me:
WTF? I’m a REALIST. Unless we oust the ENTIRE noodle-spined Congress and win back the Presidency, it is what it is.
My response was not to you...but to the thrust of the article.
Grateful for that, this Thanksgiving Eve! I didn’t much feel like mixin’ it up tonight, LOL!
Blessings upon You & Yours. :)
In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! :-)
Back to ya...
