Have you had enough of this out of control spending??

Have you had enough of this out of control spending??

Of course. That's why the Republicans were voted out of office. Do we have to explain everything?

If you really are against out of control spending, you would have to explain your lack of criticism over the out of control spending of the guy you voted for.

History teaches us that the initial round of 'out of control' spending was necessary. History also teaches us that attempts to balance the budget too early while climbing out of an economic hole can be destabilizing. But this is to 'grey' for most wingnuts to comprehend. They tend to see the world in black and white and not in color.

Hisotry has taught us government can't spend its way out of a recession. It's basic math. You can't increase wealth by continuing to give it away.

In the clinton era, we added 2 trillion to the national debt, under president bush we added 6 trillion to the national debt..... both added to the national debt.

Clinton and his congress were obviously the lesser evil of the two.

Bubba had the advantage of a favorable trend in tax receipts as they related to spending outlays, as pointed out by Perot countless times during the '92 campaign. Perot also accurately called that the federal budget would balance all by itself in 2002, then go back into deficit again.

Even though the Shrub and his neoconnettes went on the spending spree that would make LBJ blush, this still doesn't change those facts.

If you are fed up , then donate to Sarah Pac so she can help conservative candidates get elected in 2010. It's insanity, it's a debt that we will be passing on to our children and grand-children that will reduce their standard of living by 30% to what you and I enjoy today. It's got to stop.

Obama raised millions with $5.00 and $10.00 donations, we can do this, it's got to be done, or we will have a bankrupt country. Send $1 if you can, they all add up.

Evan Bayh- Indiana senator a conservative democrat has come out against the lastest budget bill that has 5,000 ear marks in it. There were some Republican senators that voted for this, I am still trying to find out who they are and have not been able to locate that yet, if you know please post it. I want their NAMES.


Dear Friend,
As the Going Rogue book tour ends, I want to thank everyone for their outpouring of support. At every stop along the way my family and I were treated like members of your family and I can’t tell you how honored and thrilled I was by the opportunity to meet so many of my fellow Americans!
I've attached a link to some of our favorite photos from the tour. They reflect the warm feelings and energy that made each of the book signing events so incredibly moving.
After all our travels, it's even more obvious to me that the winds of change are blowing strong. At every stop people talked about the need to take our country back. So let's do it! 2010 is just around the corner and with it will come one of the most critical elections of our lifetime. With important House and Senate races across our nation and dozens of gubernatorial races we have the chance to make a positive difference throughout our country.
I am going to help campaign across our great nation and I'd like your help to do it. If you are able to contribute I will use the SarahPAC donations you place in my trust to support candidates who share our core values, and I’ll work on issues that can put America back on the right path. With your help, we can bring real change to America!
From my family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year.
God Bless the USA!

SarahPAC - Sarah Palin's Official PAC

It's basically bribery & extortion made legal by the United States Government--

And here are the Republicans senators that added 8 MILLION in pork to this new bill.

Two of the biggest earmarks are from Republican senators Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker of Mississippi, at a cost of $8 million for improvements to four rural state airports. One airport serves fewer than 100 passengers a day and another -- the Mid-Delta Regional airport – sees even less. The new funds would come on top of $4.4million the airports just received from the stimulus package.ening its belt, just like the rest of America," said Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense.

And here is the FULL ARTICLE--giving you a list of these pork barrel projects that our elected representatives--both democrat & republican-- whose votes were bought & paid for by the American taxpayer.--"In the worst economic crisis since the great depression"--LOL.

NO budget balances 'all by itself'. And though Perot was nutty, I doubt he was THAT nutty.

I've decided not to purchase Christmas gifts this year and donate all the money to Sarah Pac

I will make a donation in each of your names

That's your inner liberal elitest coming out. We can all donate for ourselves, we don't need you to do it for us, any more than we need government 'redistributing' our wealth. Fuck off and let people decide how to do things for themselves.

OK Bitch

You are off my Christmas list

Who even knows what you are rambling about? I suspect you don't even know yourself.

This week, Wells Fargo is the last of the big banks to pay back the TARP money. Interest alone has been in the billions. Those on the right were convinced it was just "given away". What a bunch of fools.

Bush and the Republicans didn't include the cost of either war in their budgets for Bush's entire two terms. Obama realized this was a scam and included the cost in his budget which is why his budget seemed to skyrocked. His overall spending increase has been, what, a hundred billion or so? Not so bad considering the mess he was left with.

When Republicans left New Orleans a mess, left two wars a mess, left the economy a mess and spent so much money, on what? No child left behind? No. They didn't fix health care. They didn't fix any of the 70,000 bridges we have that have been rated "unsafe". Where did the money go? What do they have to show for it? And these clowns, no, I mean "fools" are going to tell us how to fix the problems they created? Wow, it's a regular racial riot. Republicans just want another chance. They almost ruined the US, but they still have some work to do.

So, what does Obama want to spend money on? How about rebuilding those 70,000 bridges for a start. When you put such a program in place, those worker pay taxes, then those taxes go to pay for more work. What is the Republican plan? Oh, that's right. THERE AREN'T ANY. Their plan is to do nothing.

Apparently, you weren't paying attention back then....I was.

Perot's numbers were taken from the CBO and consistently showed the budget going into balance, if nothing at all was done to change tax and spending policies. That is, for all intents and purposes, the budget balancing itself.

It didn't. Some people don't even know the difference between "spend" and "give away".

Many seemed to think it worked while Bush was president.
Now the same ones don't think the same way?

I'll take any 'anti-spending' conservative here seriously on this issue when he or she supports cuts in defense.

After cutting out the unconstitutional entitlement/welfare programs, spending on pig shit research, etc... if it is necessary to 'cut' defense spending, it has to be considered.... I would simply settle for not paying defense contractors who do not live up to their contracts, which would be a huge savings (from my past experience)

Umm... just because you assumed support of Bush spending policies, does not mean conservatives approved

but nice try

 

[uscitizen]

Yep spending more than the rest of the world combined on military seems just a wee bit excessive.

I'll throw corporate welfare in there to boot....Which the left doesn't have the spine to end either.

Very poor attempt at deflection, BTW.
