Many things have contributed to the mess we%u2019re in. Bureaucratic management can never compete with the free market in solving problems. Central economic planning doesn%u2019t work. Just look at the failed systems of the 20th century. Welfarism is an example of central economic planning. Paper money, money created out of thin air to accommodate welfarism and government deficits, is not only silly, it%u2019s unconstitutional. No matter how hard the big spenders try to convince us otherwise, deficits do matter. But lowering the deficit through higher taxes won%u2019t solve anything.

Nothing will change in Washington until it%u2019s recognized that the ultimate driving force behind most politicians is obtaining and holding power. And money from special interests drives the political process. Money and power are important only because the government wields power not granted by the Constitution. A limited, constitutional government would not tempt special interests to buy the politicians who wield power. The whole process feeds on itself. Everyone is rewarded by ignoring constitutional restraints, while expanding and complicating the entire bureaucratic state.

The majority of Americans are angry, disgusted, and frustrated that so little is being done in Congress to solve their problems. The fact is a majority of American citizens expect the federal government to provide for every need, without considering whether government causes many economic problems in the first place. This certainly is an incentive for politicians to embrace the role of omnipotent problem solvers, since nobody asks first whether they, the politicians themselves, are at fault.

How exactly will Obama ''create'' 2.5 Million jobs out of thin air?

If government can simply create jobs where there were none before, why is there ANY unemployment?

Wouldn''t it be in the best interest of any incumbent politician to eliminate unemployment so they can remain in power?

Alas, the government CANNOT create ANY new jobs (via confiscation of taxes)without first DESTROYING private sector employment.

Unfortunately, most Americans are economic illiterates and cannot understand this simple concept. thus, they will continue to believe the false prophecies of their elected Masters.

This would cause the level of chaos necessary to make the United States ungoverneable and Bush to declare an emergency dictatorship.

You been drinkin'' Cisco, haven''t you?

If Obama gets assassinated, all that would happen is Biden would get sworn in instead.

Then we''d have just another drunken white guy for President.

But I agree, this would be a GOOD time for Bush to take another vacation in Crawford until the end of January.

Won''t he be surprised to come back to the White House and find someone else living there.

And he probably would be...

- 2.5 MILLION JOBS.THAT''S FUNNY. WHAT JOBS ? REBUIL THE BRIDGES, THE ROADS, THE SCHOOLS...
- OVER 60 YEARS AGO, PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT DID THE SAME
THING.
- NOW, EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT, WE CANN''T DO THAT. WASTE
MONEY...

Bush has to resign immediately.

Oligarchs within British circles might want to assasinate Obama before he''s inaugurated and Democrats and Republicans must unite to not allow that to happen.

This would cause the level of chaos necessary to make the United States ungoverneable and Bush to declare an emergency dictatorship.

THE BRITISH GLOBAL FINANCIAL EMPIRE IS DEAD!!!!!!

STOP THEM FROM SACRIFICING HUMANITY FOR THE SAKE OF RESURRECTING A DEAD FINANCIAL SYSTEM!!!!
