And some of those problems go back further than the Bush admin. My whole point being the pres doesnt have that much power. The Housing bust isnt the governments faults. Its peoples and banks.

Obama wants to stop giving tax breaks to companies that outsource.

Like I said 12 out 14 years of rep controlled congress..See my point?

Didnt the bail out bill fail to be passed? You can cut spending in stead of raise taxes. Thats like saying "I cant pay my bills unless I get a raise." When all you have to do is quit buying "nonessential things"

You know if you had a flat tax you wouldnt need the IRS. There is a lot of money saved right there.

The bail out passed. Where have you been..It was laced with pork to sway the rep vote..I guess the dems arnt the only ones who like a barbeque

OMG your right!!! And internet use in the home became common place in 1996!! Thats 12 years ago. It must be connected!

Apparently you never heard the expression "just because A came before B doesnt mean A caused B."

Well it failed at the end of sept. Then I was busy with work, preparing for a martial arts tournament, and chasing girls. Sorry I have other priorities.

A is a puppet unless you control B and C...

where have you been?

in the south pacific getting a tan for most of your adult life?

Everyone knows that legisation passed is always started and triggered , for the most part, after a Presidenrt is out of the Oval Office.

Things move slowly in government and the new laws and policy directives take time to implememt. The infrastructure to manage has to be built in forst.

Same thing right now with the bailout. It won't reach full steam for years. It is an incremental bailout.

Every mess of the last 8 years is due very heavily to Clintonomic mach9inations and legislation done in a frenzy near the end of his second term.

He knew full well what it would mean for the next President to deal with.

They all do it.

It is the way things work.

always has been.

That is why FDR was the impetus for term limits.

He was making too many problems for future generations and he had to be stopped.

History is not a liberal longsuit.

Libs prefer being empty suits.

have some more KOOL AID>

I know One of the reasons i wanted to like him. Unfortunately he negated that by a largely increased government spending (Even beyond Clintons and Bushs). This kinda more than offsets that, especially due to our inflation tax. Increased deficit and increased printing of unsound money, while giving people tax breaks? Wow. Spells trouble for our children... Not interested in the "lesser evil" as it still "evil"

They call that a False Cause Fallacy...

True.... what if A, B and C are all puppets?

California is just like the whole country.

excet for no Federal REeserve Bank to lean on for free lunches.

this little note I got says it all

remember, as goes California, so goes the nation.

This is how it gets played when borrowing can't happen, and when the democrats run things.

sound like the last two years in Congress?

over look tyhat little nuance about withholding. It almost happened by arnie ratted them out




i have been out of work for a few months. 0 income and i still pay all my rent so i could care less about your griping ohh no rent subsidies. 1400 paid last week no government hand out not even help from my imaginary girl friend..

now the state legislators have to write a budget, the budget has to be approved by 2/3 of these people. the democrats control almost 2/3 of the legislature.

the democrats stopped working on the budget to go to a convention.

the democrats thought they could cover part of the state shortfall by increasing the income withholding but not increase the tax. so next year's budget they would have to find the money to pay back the extra withholdings that they collected. Arnie had to veto it.

simple thing politicians don't seem to get, if you have less money coming in than what you are accustomed to you need to cut back. Friday night at Le Fondue gets replaced with friday at Outback. but they don't want to cut back they want to keep spending like there is no tomorrow.

Elect McCain and maybe he will tap our governor for a cabinet position and you can have a democrat running the state again.

This is correct. We have had a Republican congress for a long long time. This was the reason that the stupidest most costly investigation was allowed into the legal sexual exploits of the sitting president.

Sadly, the Republican platform of lesser taxes is bogus. There are other ways of getting the money out of us besides the obvious taxes. Can you think of ways the government gets money out of us besides the obvious taxes we know about? Well the republicans do, if you don't.

Well since deregulation began with Carter, you guys should be happy they're finally going to reverse some of that.

We all know that too. Thanks for sharing. It's been posted here so many times but the same few posters keep posting over & over thier own spin. It drowns out the few who post the facts.

Who had to be bought off for votes...DEMS.
