If the gubment would have invested in the American people and not the bogus bailouts we wouldn't be in this shape. Remember? Unemployment will not get to certain figures if we do this? Major fail on their part which most everyone knew would happen except the corrupt gubment.
So now instead of fixing what was broke they just toss money at it...typical action from them. What did they do instead? They reformed Healthcare and other junk. Something that was working and not hit hard from the recession was to be overhauled so the Libs could say they did it and done so in defiance of the american people.

While doing so the economy is spinning outta control. So because of that the country is still beyond broke and now states are having to make even more cuts to try and stay afloat. Soame states are broke and have asked for bailouts like Califronia. What??? Where does it end?

Sad part is if your outta work you want the bennies but if you look at the big picture you see another social program funded by us tax payers. So now you have millions of people who are on the gubment teat and to pay for it we have to spend money we don't have.

Another post talked about what we are gonna spend on foreign aid. I said it before and I'll say it again. Get our country working better and then worry about others.

It's basic human nature that if you are given money you don't appreciate where it comes from. (I'm not talking about a gift i'm talking about gubment money.) The gubment caused another major fail and at least I'm not hearing it's Bush's fault because it's not. It's the entire legislative branch (crooks) who make these policies and for the most part we have had 4 years of Lib controlled Congress.
