And to Marine’s Mom: there’s no chance of me ever getting over my Ovamit -phobia.

Once again, the USA saved the world’s ass – is one way to look at it. And once again, we are getting crapped on for it.

What ticks me off, is from the word go – the House knew it; the Senate knew it; the current administration knew it. “It” being what was going down, what the problem was – and the incredible chance they were taking was. Perhaps they saw no alternative. But the people of this country were not trusted to be able understand the problems. Once again, we were treated as mushrooms. Left in the dark and fed horse shit.

The rest of the world needs to shut up now. The FED and the Beltway inhabitants have some ‘splaining to do, and some more heads need to roll, and some common sense had better return to the way this country operates, or it’s all over soon.

That’s my 2 cents.

Not increasing taxes on the rich will increase the debt by 700 billion.

Foisting Timothy Geithner on the Republicans to ensure the rich do get taxed.

Tax breaks for those who hire the unemployed. (what?)

Reducing our nuclear arsenal will strengthen our relationship with Russia and is absolutely essential for our national security.

Extend unemployment benefits for those who are unemployed from NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN.
