BIG PICTURE:: Where is the Prosperous America the Pubs promised? |
|
The Pubs sold us on a bill of goods during election time> They can do it better.
They got the HOUSE, the SENATE, the White House, and the SCOTUS. They told us they will lead America out of the wilderness of Clintons Surplus and Bullish Economy...they did alright...right into a 7.8 Trillion Debt and building...
4.9 years later..America is fucked due to Pub leadership and control.
America should be awakening and leaninbg toward weaning ourselves off the Pub Lies and scam jobs...
WE GOT SCAMMED.....by the PUBS...vote BLUE

1. They rank & file will not awaken until they receive this month's CC bills! |
|
Many, if not most, remain blissfully unaware of the doubling of minimum payments. Of course they have no clue about the new, improved bankruptcy law either.
People do understand their bank accounts though. They are beginning to belatedly realize something is terribly wrong.

4. I want to know when those patriotic millionaires who got their |
|
HUGH tax cut in May 2001 (With then-Repub Jeffords' blessing) will start spending some of that money?
Maybe they spent it all on betting that the stocks of certain American airline companies would go down in September 2001 . . .

13. Whatever they spending ain't reaching down to the point of making a diff |
|
It was all a scam. Reaganomics didn't either..the Pubs just claim it did...but it actually was borrow and spend...our National Debt went from 400,000,000,000 under Carter to 4.5 Trillion under Reagan, thats 450,000,000,000,000.00 BUCK$$$
Now its almost doubled thanks to Bush....Under Clinton, we were on our way to paying the damn thing off....Clinton had a surplus for gods sake.
