Give em hell Barack!
Obama's "balanced approach" is where he raises taxes and buys fast trains to run in areas with a high concentration of Democratic congressmen. Who loses? The unemployed and the middle class who need the economy to improve before they can afford home ownership again. Do the numbers. The federal debt will not be paid off by millionaires. There are not enough of them.
The Republicans are our only hope for getting the federal government in line with the rest of the country in fiscal responsibility, getting our economy back in gear and putting Americans back to work. It is obvious the Democrats are not up to the challenge of responsible management.
He will say, "oh yes, we need to invest (waste) more money to allow the unions and special interest groups that contribute to my re-election an ample supply of money". Cutting spending is not in his vocabulary.
I'm glad I'm not invited. I'd have to punch everyone in the face.
