We Won Get Over It

I recently read an article about the United States' high budget deficit and I became concerned with the level of understanding of our friends on the left after reading the comments. A commenter by the name of "We Won Get Over It" made the comment that it was all George Bush's fault that we a budget deficit. The budget was balanced when Clinton left office. I have to wonder if they don't know that it was a Republican controlled Congress and Senate during those balanced budget years. The war started during Bush's first term and the budget was no longer balanced. Republicans now controlled all three branches of the government. Bush was re-elected to the Presidency with the war still raging. People trusted him to make correct choices in the war and didn't want an admitted Vietnam child abuser-baby killer sissy pants Kerry to reign in Bush's stead.

Very well. The republicans stopped listening to their constituents, who wanted smaller government, closed borders and became fatigued by the poorly run war effort. The people got rid of those Republicans who stopped listening and Democrats took their place in 2006. The Senate and Congress were controlled by the Democrats. The higher budget deficit, recession, larger government presence and recession took hold in the next 2 years. Republican politicians continued to not listen or follow the advice of their constituents and added a lefty as the right's presidential candidate. The Republican president also pushed for a bailout of the financial sector calling it necessary or we will all die. The 2009 election gave Democrats complete power and control of the 3 branches of the government. The budget deficit has now tripled in one year of their reign. The 3 branches of government past a stimulus program which stole another $787 Billion from us taxpayers and then gave it slowly to democratic party political friends and unions and then to states and cities for projects that weren't worth doing with real money.

This is not something "we can get over". This is not something anyone can get over. Even if you are living on welfare and pay no taxes, you must fear not getting a hand out anymore, since everyone will be collecting money from the state. Or if we become socialists or communists and you get your right to work laws passed you won't be able to sit at home with your Food Stamps anymore. You will be required to work to get your check from the government.

This idea that we don't need to think because our party is in power only leads to the controlling parties' demise. Another commenter stated "It's amazing how Republicans are only on board when it helps them and their corporate ceo friends and contributors, who then stash their cash in the Caribbean or Switzerland. Yet we keep voting these guys in."

We do not keep voting them in. That is why you Democrats are in power and showing us Republicans how easily corruptible politicians should be. And it's OK since Democrats are in power now. Grow up. Shed your party stereotypes. You do realise that Democrats are the richest and poorest in this country. The middle class is where the republicans lie. Stop selling us the rich republicans are killing us all crap.
