The Dems and the GOP are always going to argue, continue to jocky their ideas are the best. But American people knew what they wanted in this last election. It's time to pay the fiddler and do what's right. Not with pride to save face.
John Boehner is a congressman and received his degree in business, not an expert on the economy. I don't know who can be. It's not easy to figure out. If it was we wouldn't be in this mess. He seems to be a good man but his ideas just don't work. Cut taxes and less spending just don't work anymore. But he fails to forget he and his party borrowed and spent $5 trillion. Something has to be done. Leaving the American people out to dry is not we need to do. Deregulating Wall Street to spread the wealth. And now we're paying for it - again. And now for those idiotic changes it cost millions of jobs and businesses closed from the customer not buying.
Common sense tells me: How is cutting taxes (corporate) and less spending help? Hoping it will trickle down to us, not. Not all of us get tax returns. Some have to pay the government to run this nation. If the consumer doesn't have money, they don't have money. Plain and simple. No matter how much they slash prices.
We're very lucky. Warsaw is an island in itself. But some families are still struggling and hanging by a thread. Doing nothing helps no one. People are committing suicide over this. We need leaders who want to run this nation. Don't try to pretend to know what you're talking about. It doesn't help.
Building infrastructure might help but the past says no. But it's a different era though. Then again it will get money in the pockets of consumers and it will benefit others not just one person. Always remember there are others worse off than you. It might not hit you bad now, but someone is in a place you could be. It all comes back around.
Building green projects will help as well. The same people put to work to build will have the chance to work for that company.
It's a different time and our nation is going in another direction. You always have to keep changing. Not sticking to same principle 20-odd years ago. We need something but what is it, is what we've all been asking.
Government got us in this mess and it's time they get us out. Bush's Reagonomics didn't work. Deregulation (greed) weakened the economy. His big corporate tax cuts didn't help, which the party fiercely say creates jobs. Businesses are closing. Unemployment is off the scale. I still pay in around the same amount every year. So where was my tax cuts? Don't know. It went into the pockets of the people who cut jobs. Go figure. Like I said, it comes down to the consumer not corporate tax cuts. Put money in the pockets of consumers - average American Joe Plumber.
Remember you're voted in office because we believe in you to do the right thing. Not make a career out of it. Millions of hopes are on your back. You better make sure your ideas are going to work. If you can't do it then leave because it's costing families and lives.
