you would rather run gov't on the cheap EXCEPT for the offense..... errr..... defense dept that is. Its well known that the def dept is the conservatives sacred cash cow. They get everything & oftentimes more than they ask for (of tax-payer $) because it brings in votes. Aren't unlimited secret contributions great? .America voted for failure. I don't hope for it but am resigned to the unnecessarily slow recovery the majority selected. What other choice is there? The people have spoken.
I would have actually invested in infrastructure. Not simply posed for photo ops in front of old bridges. I would have followed up to make sure the stimulus I requested was working and would have taken measures to help people take advantage of it when it became clear that it wasn't working as planned. I would NOT have taken extraordinary measures to suppress the effect of the stimulus and pass a regulation-heavy healthcare measure when my first priority should have been making sure I did not get in the way of Americans getting back to work. I would not have played legislative hanky panky to get around the loud and clear message that the nation was so opposed to the proposed healthcare legislation that even the blue state of Massachusetts sent a Republican to fill the Kennedy seat to try to stop it. And I especially would not have lied again and again to make that happen.
But then again, I don't have what it takes to be elected to political office.
