Everytime i hear republicans talk about how to fix the econemy i hear the same thing. Lets cut energy reform, obama care,and taxes. I dont think all our nations issues can be solved by throwing money at it either but lets think.
Energy effiecnet in America is not nearly as tech advance as most 1st world countries. Our energy plans will save money for our future generation so except the CHANGE.
You want everyone to not have universal health care because for a short run it will help our budget. Our econemy can withstain universal health care smaller nations have proven its pretty easy. Now taxes.
The trickle down effect didnt work with pres. Bush jr you know why? Big goverment keep our money and sold us a bunch of bad loans. So im sorry if we tax the rich now.

Republicans if you really want to cut spending know this. the rest of the worlds military spending is ALMOST the equivalent to ours lets cut some spending thier.

"Oh ye of little faith"

Yes energy plans may save money for the future generation. That's true. However have you stopped to think of the price to the people who have those things on their property?
A wind turbine is extremely noisy! It sounds like a train right outside your house going 24/7! I think they cause headaches to!
Not to mention those florescent bulbs they shove down our throats! I hear those are bad for your health to. And they killed the original easy bake oven! Stinking lefty's!
"I will have my religion and my guns you can keep the CHANGE"

Yes our economy can withstand universal health care that's true. Can YOU withstand universal health care?
If your to old and will die soon anyhow they will not help you. Because THEY decide what care you get.
I also found this interesting article at http://nmorton.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/why-universal-health-care-is-a-bad-idea/
3. Government run health insurance is tied to the budget.

"When the government is in charge of your insurance the insurance is tied to the budget. Just last year in California there was a budget problem and the proposal was floated to cut the Denti-cal program. It was later agreed to cut the Denti-cal budget by 10%. This further decreased doctors’ ability to provide competent and useful health care for their patients. Look at the current national budget. Do you really want your health insurance tied to a budget that is already over 10 trillion dollars in debt?"

About that last part? Cutting spending would fix the economy because people would have the money to spend on other things. Now they keep the money to pay taxes to obama. The man can't stop spending. It's who he is. He acctualy RAISED the national debt!

His stimulous bill but nothing more than handouts to his lefty friends. No thanks.

You want to cut military spending? We have the best and the biggest military in the world and you want to cut the spending?
How do you keep freedom then? No one will fear us. The muslims will attack us more. If you like getting attacked then cut the spending.

Ive found just a few holes in your lefty idea's. I'm sure there's tons and tons more problems. I'm just not smart enough to find them.

Those windmills will help future Americans be less dependent of foreign oil. I have never heard any studies of head trauma the reason the three blade design was picked for the wind mills was to reduce noise.

Those light bulbs are old and inefficient. Thomas Edison created that design in the 1870's. The new ones last for 7 years you know how much money and energy that saves. I think it was about time a new inventor where to come in and make a better light bulb. Making better versions of things is how we stay ahead hear in America. Cutting old light bulbs out the budget is a good idea. It’s time for an update.

I am with you on keeping your religion and guns. This is a free country everyman has the right to prayer and protection.

on universal health care its not that Pres Obama wants to kill your grandparents he just set up a plan that will give the most people insurance in our nation. it was something that was being pushed for an ongoing 8 years now Universal health care was going to happen eventually.

About the dental budget issue. I agree that was wrong. I am sure there where plenty of organization that could have been cut out first.

This is where I got back to the military spending. We put so much money into military spending we have to profit off of war. Selling weapons to third world countries to get money for newer and bigger and better war toys. Then we fight these African tribes and pirates and wonder why they are shooting at us with American made weapons. Or tell my why In Afghanistan terrorist where shooting RPGs at our troops that we sold to them when they where fighting the Russians. Our constant build up of military strengthen has us resorting to arming those who fight against us. We are the best most well trained and knowledge military power in the world. People Know not to mess with us. We can cut back a little bit on the military spending.

Im not crazy bout the stimulus bill either that’s a whole different forum lol we can talk on later

Dude you need to do some research.

Repubs are not for 'cutting energy' they are for 'all of the above' (which includes still using and drilling for oil)...

and we sold the Afgans 'stingers' (an american made weapon for taking out the russian attack heli's)...

RPG'S are made in RUSSIA.

Take a look at the videos of the 'civil war' in Lybia and you will notice a small fact... The weapons being used are old Soviet equipment... radarless version of ZSU-23 AntiAir multibarrel gun and AK-47's...

It is common knowledge that we gave weapons to the Afghans to fight the Russians. The point I am trying to make is do you think that's really right. We profit off of making a bigger badder war machine and selling our old weapons to third world countries. In turn by natural common sense revolution when you arm a country with a strong terrorist basis which we knew the Afghans had when we gave them the weapons. One day those people are going to fire them on us. Now we got our brave young men and women getting killed by weapons our government gave to the bad guys.

Begins... You are correct I misspoke before. I was watching the house republicans on C span the other day talk about cutting "alternative energy programs" That is going only strengthen our dependence on foreign oil. Offshore drilling is just to risky to our environment. I didn't grow up a proud Louisiana citizen just to see it become an giant oil spill. There is a lot of good in alternative energy people just have to open their minds advances in alternative energy are sky rocketing right now.

a controversial and impossible equation


Security in the world + stability in our communities


which side can we afford to diminish and which can we afford to increase?
(keeping it the same isnt working)

If they're going down you throat, of course they're bad for you health.

LOLOL,,,

everytime I hear go BACK, it kind of scares me,, lets go FORWARD, keeping what works and discarding what harms

Some people are afraid of change.

That's why they are called conservatives.

They want to conserve the past.

And this is understandable under some circumstances people are to quick to change things over the most small flaws only to create a bigger problem.

We need to find the middle

Not being able to move forward in life keeps us stuck in the past
