..and as busted as you are, you would rather support your neighbour than yourself.

We are SO grateful that we can live in luxury on the dollars that you don't have to resolve your busted economy.

I no longer think that way, unfortunately.


*sigh*

Depends a lot on the economy.

Which is why our conservative friends here try so mightily to convice us that

more than two years of steady economic growth, 3.6 million new jobs created by the private sector, stock markets up almost 100% from their recession lows, and the unemployment rate falling from above 10% to 8.3% really means the economy is doing worse than when Obama took office.

Yes, GFO has predicted that the tax cuts promised would raise the defecit by a few Trillion Dollars. I thought you wanted the debt taken care of?

I don't understand your question to me. I have not promoted further tax cuts. To the contrary.

Sorry, a simple misunderstanding I am sure.

We will all survive.

There will be policies that I disagree with and policies that I agree with.

There will be stalemate in Congress as Democrats copy Republicans who copied Democrats by stopping every Republican proposal in the Senate.

The new President's nominees to the judiciary and other appointed posts will be blocked by Democrats, just as Republicans are doing right now to Obama's appointee's.

The new President will emulate Obama and do as much by executive authority as he can to get around the legislative impasse.

It only takes rational thinking and a determination to fix problems rather than scoring political points. Then the problems get fixed in months, not years.

And in 2007, the USA was doing as well as its ever done. My math says that was NOT 30 years ago. Loony liberal math, of course, differs.

In 2007, the US was pinned down in two wars and standing on the edge of the precipice. It still had deficits in the 1/2 billion range if the costs of the wars were included.



The US in 2007 was very unhealthy. 6 years of mismanagement, lack of attention to regulation, and unbalanced budgets were coming to a tipping point. The disease had just not taken its toll yet.

If you weren't so quick to attempt at points scoring instead of claiming that I am, you would see from previous threads which you have obviously not read, that a reference was made to the Carter years and those subsequent. It is to that I was responding, so if you want rationality, do your research first.

I wonder if Americans, all Americans, realise how utterly stupid they make themselves by claiming that anything they don't agree with must have originated from a liberal mind, as if those who claim it make any sense with their own lopsided posts.

I really don't care where or how you form your erroneous opinions. When I start telling you how to run Canada, I'll start paying attention to your ideas about the USA.
