HONEY, I SHRUNK THE ECONOMY!

Many have been hoping, yes, hoping that this is not Jimma Carter's 2nd term.
Jury's still out.

I am going to make a comment on one aspect of the article, there are plenty more worth commenting on.

One problem the right has, is they do not want to own up to the mistakes they made. But, they want to hurry up and have someone else pick up their mess. And, when it doesn't happen as fast as they like, they say it has to happen faster because of the impatient American people. Ok, it took 8 years to get us here, and it SHOULD only take us 8 months to get us out?

Ok, what happend with the "stay the course" mentality? It apparently only pertained to the last administration, and went out the window when the last president left Washington.

The last administration is responsible for a money suck of a war because of what? WMD? Do you think maybe that is where some of this gawd-awful deficit / debt came from? Of course not! It was all Obama's fault, even before he ran for office it was his fault. Funny how the rights memory has faded.

Bush sold enough people a war that was not necessary, spent billions on it and then left the whole gosh-dog mess for someone else to pick up. In the mean time, there was no checks and balances in the financial sector and they kept up business as usual. Then, OMG! How did this happen? Don't forget that a Republican administration let this happen to us. It was also the Republican administration that passed the first stimulus package adding another $700 Billion to an insanely high debt. Keep handing money to the rich. That will solve all our problems. I don't know about you, but I am still waiting for the trickle down effect.

Maybe we do really need nationalized heath care so all those with the memory loss problems can go get checked for dementia.

Done ranting now. :)

n his 1981 encyclical "On Human Work," John Paul II wrote, quote, "Human work is a key -- probably the essential key -- to the whole social question. Work is a fundamental dimension of man's existence on Earth. Work is a good thing for man, a good thing for his humanity because through work he achieves fulfillment as a human being." - Pope John Paul II As the great economist Ludwig von Mises wrote, "What makes friendly relations between human beings possible is the higher productivity of the division of labor. . . . A preeminent common interest, the preservation and further intensification of social cooperation, becomes paramount and obliterates all essential collisions." This facile attribution of climate change to human agency is an act of hubris. Good stewardship of the environment is an ethical imperative for every nation. But breast-beating hysteria merely betrays impious tunnel vision. Thousands of factors, minute and grand, are at work in cyclic climate change, whose long-term outcomes we cannot possibly predict. Nature should inspire us with awe, not pity. - Camille Paglia on global warming alarmism “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.” --- Philospher Confucius (551 BC-479 BC) In the arena of human life the honours and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities. Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics (4th c. BC) Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC) Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them. -Saint Thomas Aquinas Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them. Aristotle It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Aristotle Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC) Nature does nothing uselessly. Aristotle, Politics Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC) I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average. - FDR 1933 “A little less complaint and whining, and a little more dogged work and manly striving, would do us more credit than a thousand civil rights bills.” --- Writer W. E. B. Du Bois (1868-1963) “Capitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.” --- Thomas Sowell A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song. — Chinese Proverb Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive. — William F. Buckley, Jr. “Back in the thirties we were told we must collectivize the nation because the people were so poor. Now we are told we must collectivize the nation because the people are so rich.” - William F. Buckley, Jr. “I get satisfaction of three kinds. One is creating something, one is being paid for it and one is the feeling that I haven't just been sitting on my ass all afternoon.” -William F. Buckley, Jr. “I profoundly believe it takes a lot of practice to become a moral slob.” -William F. Buckley, Jr. “I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.” -William F. Buckley, Jr. “Truth is a demure lady, much too ladylike to knock you on your head and drag you to her cave. She is there, but people must want her, and seek her out.” -William F. Buckley, Jr. “Does baloney fear the grinder?” -William F. Buckley, Jr.
