Shaking my head in disbelief. It is beyond me how some remain so jaded, so entrenched in their thinking even when it's damaging. It's as if so many Americans are putting their hand on the eye of the stove, it's burning the skin right off but they continue to look at you and say "no, it's not hot, the stove is not even on" Obama and the progressive left being the eye of the stove.
A few comments in this thread...really, some still blame the two wars on the state of the economy? Regardless of whether we should have ever been there or not is beside the point, in the grand scheme of the total economy they don't make that much of a difference.
"Health care has nothing to do with the economy" this one simply shocked me, how can any sane person say that. If money is being spent it has something to do with the economy. Let's say the health care plan is the greatest thing ever created with the best intentions and the best results (for arguments sake let's say that) it's still costing a butt ass load of money and if you can't afford it however good it may be is irrelevant. Let's say a guy drives a 1982 Ford LTD and it's a real beater, he has no job, no savings, not a dime to his name but for $20k he can buy a new car that runs good, looks great and gets great gas mileage. Should he buy the car? Would you give him a loan for the car? BTW, did I mention if you do give him a loan the odds of him being able to pay you back are not in your favor because he already has hundreds of other outstanding debts....by the way of thinking about this health care comment, and it applies to so many other things as well, this guy should get the car, he deserves the car and it's the right thing to do...who cares if he can't afford it.
When you look at it this way does it not seem a little more ridiculous?
