Still fixated on one four-letter name, I see; just your speed.

And the only way you're going to be able to trot out your "final solution" is by monetizing the defecits -- by running the printing presses until inflation reaches 20-30% per year as opposed to 12-15% last time around (which most of you are likely too young to remember). What will you do when the Chinese and the Middle East no longer denominate their wares in dollars?

Those of us who run small family businesses, who farm, or who rent out part of our houses will know how to adjust -- and what real assets to look for when things stabilize. But the point-and-grunts in your ranks will be looking for somebody to blame.

That's when I expect you to intensify from the "Goebbals method" to the "Hitler tactic".

That's when I expect you to switch from the "Goebbals method" to the "Hitler tactic".
We're not going to run the printing presses, 2nd. Pipe down. We're going to do measured responses like raises taxes back to a reasonable level and scale back entitlement spending. You know, like we did with Clinton.. that will lead to the same budget surpluses we had when Clinton left office. This time, with no monkey to come and go on a wild a$$ spending spree on give-aways to rich friends and wars to fuel the military industrial complex, perhaps we'll actually make some progress.

As with the so-called "stimulus", I suppose?

Yeah -- we know; all cleaning up after Bush ... Bush .... Bush. Half of your core clientele probablly think it's all hidden in a vault at the country club.

By that time, vou'll probalbly have enough rubber stamps in the Judiciary that a small matter like the Constitution won't be in your way; but you still can't get blood from a stone.

We don't have clients, 2nd. We have citizen stakeholders. Your pay-for-play party is the one that whores itself out to clients.

My party is Libertarian, not Republican; we don't prostitute ourselves to anyone -- and we don't play the role of "fornicaterer", either,

Bill Clinton spent 6 of 8 years with Democrats in the minority in both houses of Congress. Seeing as how congress controls the purse strings, you are giving him too much credit. Secondly, Obama isn't Bill Clinton. Thirdly you aren't going to scale back 1.2 trillion dollar deficits by raising taxes to a reasonable level, nor by raising taxes to 100%. Once you cut defense out, there is still 700 billion to balance the budget and create a surplus "like you did with Clinton." Good luck telling your base the handout party is over.

Hmmm. Well, those tax cuts that everyone wants to preserve are straight outta the Bush White House so looks like the DEMs are mighty anxious to make some of what you refer as F ups permanent, indeed.

We can find a way to keep a low profile until they turn on you.

And then we're going to enjoy every minute of your coalition's own self-destruction. The dress rehearsal in on the way -- in the form of California -- and we'll split our sides watching you try to convince (or force) the rest oi us to pay the tab on Feinstein, Brown, Boxer and Pelosi's overworked charge card.
Cali is long accustomed to boom or bust cycles, yet still continues to attract the most venture capital, the newest technologies, and the country's best and the brightest (and the weather ain't too shabby either). Meanwhile the Right has what to brag about, exactly... AR, OK, MO, MS, LA.... Texas?!!

So while you're sitting around waiting for our ''self-destruction'', better start reading the "handwriting on the wall" and the real future of the GOP, 'cuz CA isn't called a bellwether state for nuthin'!

Sacramento Bee: California GOP ponders life in the irrelevant lane


''Happy Holidays'' and ''Season's Greetings'', y'all!!

Or bah-humbug, as the case may be....

I, for one, am sick and tired of Republicans fooling a tiny majority of mouth breathers they can run the country, only to loot the Treasury and enrich their billionaire donors/conspirators until, like cold water in ones face, a majority of Americans are forced to wake up and kick these criminals to the curb, where they plot, scheme, obstruct and lay in wait for their next opportunity, all the while trying to drag the country down to an appropriate level that mirrored their destruction while in the White House.

We have to end this dysfunctional cycle for the sake of the country. Only until we press charges against criminal behavior routinely practiced by Republicans will we stop, or lessen, their crimes against humanity.
