“hope the next terrorist attack blows up Washington D.C.” Said in jest but I wanted to show that there is nothing we can do to stop Obama and his freight train! Nothing!

There is nothing we can do. Legally, we can vote, listen to talk radio, blog, read blogs, talk to people and hope the next terrorist attack blows up Washington D.C.

43. Chuck Pelto:

“Indeed, other members of the committee have complained that several million dollars for a stretch of road that six months later is in need of major repair is an abominable waste of taxpayer dollars.”

Where is the professionalism and quality control of the contracting companies and the project managers?

“Just out of curiousity, does anyone believe that our infrastructure needs a serious overhaul?”

Your roads must be perfect. Mine are awful.

“The Chinese and others hold so much of our debt that if Obama tries to start spending money we don’t have, thereby decreasing the value of that debt, they will stop buying and start dumping dollars.”

Wasn’t the Bush free markets policy who created that mess? Military overspending? Low quality of education? Sitting on their fat asses doing NOTHING?

“It is unbelievable that no one is holding the Cheney/Bush administration responsible for the waste, theft of American taxpayers resources the lies and the murder of thousands of Iraqi citizens as we were told lies and the administration practised deception.”

You’re damn right!

You should all visit Newt’s web-site. He is doing something.

What concerns me is that the Democrat’s tax proposals will ultimately put more than 50% of the American people on the rolls of non-taxpayers. We’re pretty close to that now – the bottom 50% pay almost none of the tax bill. Once you pass the magical 50% mark, you’re pretty much stuck in a downward spiral. Who votes for someone who promises to raise their taxes or cut off the gravy train? Once the majority is tax free, you’ll hear more proposals to “make the greedy rich pay their fair share.” Why would anyone start a business in that environment? It would be a long-term disaster for the economy.

BTW, I should have gotten $1500 back on the last “stimulus package.” My total check was a bit over $200 – I guess somebody else had more right to spend my money than I did (all in the interest of “fairness”). Funny how they can give my money to someone who paid no taxes and call it a “rebate.”

Comments like this:

“I still believe the ultimate solution for all these problems — be it the carmakers, the banks, mortgages, foreclosures, or all the rest — is a significant pro-growth jolt for the economy. ”

are one of the major reasons that so many prominent conservative voices are useless.

What the country needs is not some vague economic jolt (whatever that is), but a freedom jolt, one that is more than jolt but is sustained forever. When individual liberty is as common again as it was in the 19th century, we will see the kind of economic success that characterized that era, a period during which J.J. Hill built transcontinental railroads that weathered many a downturn.

The sooner the US and world economies implode, the sooner the current political establishment collapses in the ruins, the sooner we start fresh. You can’t get taxes from a collapsed economy.

Spend away, Obama!
