Read this story about the state of Wisconsin trying to provide "free" universal healthcare and the not-so-free costs.
Michael Moore and Hillary Clinton would be proud.
We're screwed
Where are these leaders today? They certainly weren't on display last night at the pathetic Democratic CNN/YouTube "debate". Probably the saddest thing were all of the pleas from the "people" asking what would the government do for ME, instead of asking them how the government could get out of the way (I wish).
(thanks for the link, Paul)
It's high time for the sane and rational portion of the US population to get our collective heads out of our ass and take control of our country back from these corrupt, elite, bastards in Washington, DC (yes, even all of the Republicans), the traitorous socialists in the mainstream media, and all of the whining, ignorant, communinst brats of the antiwar left.
Keep your eye on the ball, the target, the prize. Don't be distracted by American Idol, Xbox, Lindsay Lohan, and substance-free symbolic debates. Go re-read the Constitution and then ask yourself how we let the government stray so far from its LIMITED defined role in this country and our lives.
Wrong side of the bed today...
(although I don't think I'm the only one)
It's the economy stupid
[1] Since January of this year we've experienced 31, yes 31, Dow Jones Industrial record highs.
[2] The Dow Jones Industrial high (14,000) is double from the lowest point during the Clinton Administration (7000).
[3] 8,000,000 new jobs have been created during the Bush Administration.
[4] The unemployment rate is below 5% - we're way past full employment.
[5] Record low interest rates have been maintained.
Not that you've really heard this great news being trumpeted from the mainstream media, unless of course a DEMOCRAT is in the White House, of course...
