- Face it, the problem is with us, we have the right to vote in and out?, now what we need to do is quit blameing others,
I beleave that we the people should be able to write off all interest that we pay including Insurance on cars, Home and Property Taxes, retroactive to 2007, any Gov-Fee''s that you pay on a Home should be Deductable and .
No elected person to any position, nor nominated by the elected, should recieve any king of pensions,
nor medical, ever, they should work for it like all Citizens taxpayers, Only Senior Citizens should recieve free medical, and transportation on any carrier that is subsidize by our tax system( I think that to qualified you must prove that you have worked for at least 30 yrs, military, Public Sector, self-Emp, any type of work that can prove you cntributed to the Retirement System.) all those would be cut off if they can''t prove legal status. You want to be here in this Great Country supported. Your are here for a reason right?.
Solution to prison waste, legalize all drugs and tax it 100% to maintain the prisons.
I can go on and simply mention what we can do to Fix
this mess, the solution is really Simple. the Budget at State and National Level. WE the People For the People by the People. we can make a deference.
Mr Presidnt How about a job?. - Reply to this comment

- Ever notice how well the economy does when we have a president of one party and a congress controlled by another?

Not exactly. During the first 6 years of Bush-boy, the Republicans controlled Congress and we had record deficits; whereas there were budget surpluses under Clinton.

- Carters problems with the economy were just the lingering effects of the Nixon-Ford stagflation economy.

- Usually the first two years of a new presidents term is the after effects of the previous presidents policies. Anything after the first two years are usually the direct result of the current presidents policies. Which is why we see so little direct impact of improvement or damage from presidents who serve only one term. A two term president has more time for the improvement or damage to come to the forefront before the end of their second term.

- The good economy during the Clinton years were lingering effects of Reagan.
The bad economy during the Dubya years were lingering effects of Clinton.
See how it ALL makes sense???
Posted by txgrouch2008 at
Exactly, just as the dismal years of Bush-1 were the lingering effects of Carter. I would also point out that the economic recovery in Roosevelt''s third term were the lingering effects of Herbert Hoover''s Wall street bonanza! Gotta go, the Easter bunny is calling. - Reply to this comment

No insult intended.
Here is another one similar to it.
"Be what you is, not what you ain''t, cuz if you ainm''t what you is, you is what you ain''t"
That one is much older than I am (I was born before WWII) - Reply to this comment

Do you look at anything the opposing side says? I mean you realize that research means looking at both arguments. Which mean, you have to look at the side even if you disagree with them. Thats called informed research

Actually I do, it''s a real shame you either quit doing that, or never learned how. - Reply to this comment
