Ask your 4 year old. They are the ones that will pay the piper if it does not. It's a hell of a gamble if you ask me.

No, how about changing some policy. Do the things this country needs to keep it profitable for companies to stay here. Give them a reason for developing new products. Incentive for doing well. It always works, always. Reward those who do nothing and soon everyone will do nothing.


I would rather they do nothing then what they are doing. They are f@#$ing every one of us.

Already is a rotting turd.Stimulus...no.An entire generation(including your child) paying more than half their earnings back to the government...a very big yes.

3 trillion in debt by 2012 brings us way beyond a rotting turd,it pretty much brings the American way of life to a very bitter end.But then again nothing lasts forever...the Roman Empire and the Soviet Union come to my mind.

Obama and his policies are the nail in the coffin that was once the great experiment known as The United States of America.We might live on in name but the name is all we'll have left.

As Obama once stated:
"And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion."

I for one ain't clinging but I damn well am keeping a firm hold(on my guns anyway!).

Good night my fellow and and soon to be former Americans.

lets see how long the wait lines are at the hospital after health care reforms, lets see how much education $ goes up for my kids to go to college - since I'll be paying for everyone elses too, lets see the result of this budget in my taxes - cap gains, reduction in itemized deductions. Then I can compare if there is anyplace better.

Don't forget reducing the mortgage interest deduction. Yep, that's part of it too.

haha... "boy", an old timer's way of trying to be condescending.

While there are a large number of vets that deserve respect, I disagree that all vets are entitled to respect.

Also, if this country is already a rotting turd, don't blame "this sh!thead", you can blame the one you probably voted for both times over the last two elections. If it weren't for Bush, we wouldn't have over 3000 soldiers dead in Iraq.

Ya a knee jerk reaction on my part for sure.It was meant to inflame and that was the intent,I admit that and then some but I've earned that right.

But...

...how you read into my response that "sh!thead" was evenly slightly responsible for any dead soldiers in Iraq is beyond me.

Obama's definitely responsible(as a senator along with Sen.Frank) for the financial mess we're in.


Btw the US casualties are well over 4200.

Please think before you post.

I've grown quite tired of hearing people mention Bush. It was so over-used by the Democratse in the past election that it has completely lost any potency.

And that's because you aren't one.

A very sad and very lame statement on your part.

Every vet no matter who, what where or when gets my respect for giving up a minimum of 2 years of their life to defend our country.

That would be those who join up for patriotic duty.
