According to Mitch McConnell (tortoise face), the primary goal will be to keep Obama from being viable in 2012. So much for working for the good of the American blahblahblahblahblah.
Did you forget to add the surplus Bush had when he came into office, if so add that to his debt, plus Obama could not just stop the costs of war that Bush started, and the costs will continue even under the Republicans, not to mention the lives of our service men and women and the innocent women,children and older folks. One president can’t just say,“Okay boys come on home” The feathers of enraging all the crazies in the area, has now been blown to the wind! No easy task to gather them up!
One of the reasons Obama was voted in was because employment was dropping more ,and more people were losing their jobs,plus the Tax cuts for the rich and the cost of the 2 wars(one surely unnecessary) with no way to pay for it, that added to our national debt by many ,many dollars per day. When people aren’t working even the taxes from that go down. The middle class is always paying most of the burden.now the middle class is getting poorer, thanks to the inherited debt!
It also makes me wonder what miracle the Republicans can conjure up to suddenly bring jobs to the people, since they didn’t do anything about it before and wouldn’t give anything a try, Perhaps they were afraid Obama would succeed and that was something they couldn’t stand?
I must have missed that day in my high school civics class where they explained that to have the power in the government that you only have a simple majority in the House. The Senate majority approval and the veto power of the executive branch are nothing. Thanks for fighting ignorance.
