Pledge to Bankrupt America!
So I'm soliciting possible rebranding of the Reptilian's "Pledge to America" similar to our successful rebranding of the '90s "Contract On America".

My proposal would be "Pledge to Bankrupt America!" since it reflects the fact that tax cuts for the ultra rich and rich in general are likely to substantially enhance the deficit problem.

Other suggestions are strongly encouraged!!!! It would be good to have a snappy comeback that really exposes these greedy bastards for what they are. Maybe "Pledge to Rich Coorporations?" I don't know, not snappy enough... other ideas???

1. Apology to America
We, the Republican Party, apologize to the citizens of America for doubling the national debt and running our economy off the cliff. We truly thought deregulating everything would be best for our economy and make everyone better off. We failed to factor in the greed that is natural to most folks in our Party.

We apologize to the people for letting Wall Street run rampant. We failed to see that the imaginary options they were creating would create so much havoc around the world. We accept responsibility for the loss of trillions of dollars of savings of the American people.

And we apologize to our President for leaving such a mess, including a $1.3 trillion dollar deficit on his lap when he walked into the White House. We apologize for starting two wars, cutting taxes by over $2 trillion dollars, and the give-away Medicare prescription program to the insurance companies. We had no idea the damage we were doing at the time.

We apologize for bringing our country to within a hair of collapse. We have learned our lesson and we ask that you put us back into power so we can do the job right the next time.

4. I thought it was the "Pledge to Bank of America". Though I'm sure it was
bankrolled by BoA.
