UH OH…
So you all probably know by now that the democrats seized control of the house by winning over 200 of the seats. In case you were wondering, I’m not that happy. Although I would love to enlighten all of you who have been warped and twisted by liberalism, (most likely from 12 years of sub-par education, and another 4 years of something that can’t really be classified as education…more along the lines of opinionation) I’ll just give you a picture of what the world will be like in I’d say…two weeks. 
P.S; There is an economical pattern that most people don’t realize. I’ll try to lay it out for you.
Democrat is elected president, promptly raises taxes. Less money in my paycheck equals less spending by me the consumer. Less money spent by me the consumer equals less active economy. More taxes towards imaginary environmental programs equals bigger government. All of these things take a few years to develop, and to take hold. And even more time to reverse (AKA fix).
Republican president makes office. Promptly lowers taxes. More money in my pocket equals more spending by me the consumer. More spending by me the consumer equals more active economy. This president spends years trying to build our economy back up (not with superficial “programs” to “boost” the economy, but with tactics that ACTUALLY have an effect) that were demolished by the previous president. The problem this president faces is that the first half of his term it looks as if he can’t tell the difference between a loan and a loan payment because the economy is so blasted by the last president. Things finally start to turn around and look good. Unemployment rates are down (contrary to what some “polls” might show), and people are spending. But wait, democrats will take control of the house and for the next few years take credit for what this President has accomplished, until they finally ruin it again and blame it on him. This has happened over the last 18 years…probably longer actually. But most retards my age don’t seem to notice. They are more worried about seals being killed in the Arctic than they are about babies being killed half-way out of the womb.
So sad.
That was a long P.S
The whole problem here, is that our current administration isn’t fiscally responsible. The war is costing a lot of money, plus a lot of other wasted money.
Anyone who comes into power in the next 4-6 years is going to have to raise taxes to cover this. It just so happens Democrats are going to be in power at this time, and also have a history of raising taxes.
The other problem is that most tax breaks/increases aren’t going to effect your paycheck in that much at all. More than likely we’ll see an increase on taxes on the upper and mid-to-upper class, and things like estate taxes.
The economy can’t keep going this way with the government going so deep in debt, someone’s going to have to fix that. Generally I am fiscally conservative, however our current administration is definitely not.
hey, good point and solid perspective on things. But it’s not fair that you’re using smarter sounding words than me…:)
It is impossible to be fiscally conservative during a time of war. WWII nearly bankrupted our country. should we have stopped fighting because of that?
BTW…I love spending money. And like national debt means anything…we will always be in “debt” no matter what. So will every other country in the world.
Damon: You’re correct, but it’s not an excuse either. This administration fully put us into war, and kept us there. World War II is a war we got sucked into. You could try to argue that with this war, but we’re going after the wrong people then.
And as for spending money, and we will always be in debt…this may be true. But the more you increase the debt, the weaker our dollar becomes. This makes trade bad for us since things then cost more…so you’re screwed that way also.
oh i’m not using that arguement as an excuse to fight wars. But my point is this: war = massive spending and debt. its the way it is, and always will be. get over it.
i’m living a pretty darn good life.
who’s complaining?
