transparancy

for those too dumb to know what they're looking at

Ok - Bush couldnt speak and said dumb things, but the big O is sure doing a lot of dumb things. I think the word I would use is "careless"

Agreed. Two administrations in a row that are heavily padding their numbers and data. At least the House is holding him accountable, where as the House let the last administration run-amok.

Only change i see is our country going down the hopper.

12 Trillion dollar debt with forecasts almost double that in 10 years,
and that's without healthcare.

Currently $38,000 in debt for every man, woman and child.

My Granddaughter has added 2 years of Chinese in addition
to her chemistry major.
Good idea.

So you mean nothing's changed? We started circling the bowl mid-2008.

JD, nothing, or very little, has changed except for more regulations,
bigger government, and proposals that will take even more of our freedoms,
hard earned money, and individuality away.
Fortunately I've been around long enough to know the difference.
Just about all the change I've seen for the worse started in the 60's so i can't bllame it all on one party or another.

We have enough laws on the books and don't need anymore, imho.
These new Big G jobs produce nothing except to add more taxes to cover
salaries, benefits and retirement.

When someone used to disagree with what you said, the comeback would be,
"It's a free country isn't it".
Haven't heard that in years.

There are so many people who never experienced true individuality and personal
freedom and it's Big G that's running, not walking, to expand itself into every
aspect of our lives.

Your entire post re-enforces my point.

You said the only change you see is that we're "going down the hopper." Well, we've been going down the hopper for well over a decade now.

The only thing that seems to change from administration to administration is the path we take to get to the bottom - each Party just has their own route.

lets not jump to conclusions and blame pot, that stuff makes you want to do nothing but eat cookies,...... there was a lot of bad acid going around back then too. But yes, it did start going downhill in the late 60's from what Ive seen. Ive had older friends admit it was their generation that ruined the american dream. And just one generation away from the greatest generation, wonder what happened??

NEW ADMINISTARTIONS AND PROMISES

Its amazing how many different ways you can dress up poop and pass it off as something new. All the bullshat options have been used up. Only option left to try is honesty. THOUGH NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE YOU.

That would be refreshing, but would that be PC ? Sad.

Sad too, we have reached the point for the first time when
a generation won't be able to pass on a better life for their kids and
grand kids than we had

After Obama, Pelosi, Reid etc. are done, gone and forgotten, the next generation
will be working and paying for this debacle their entire lives never getting out
from under

Show me a woman that does not work and you would never see her in my harem.

Show me a woman that works and can support my way of life, that would be instant
