AMEN brother. My sentiments exactly.

I hate playing the left right D/R games. But every time I analyze an issue, the correct answer is the conservative one, while the liberal answer always makes problems worse.

That being said, I am liberal on social issues. I would have voted for O'Donnell if I lived in Delaware, but her anti-masturbation thing was just weird. I don't want the government involved in my life more than necessary, and that involves not only taxes and regulations, but drugs, abortion and what goes on in my house as well.

Why can't we take a look at the constitution and get the country running the way it's supposed to be run By following the constitution. Economic freedom and the market system will fix America and if the government would just let it work ALL Americans would be better off.

"We have tried spending money; we are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work," he told two senior congressional Democrats. "I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. . . After eight years of this administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started . . . and an enormous debt to boot!"

Our government cannot afford all those salaries, benefits and pensions.
Many new jobs were created with each spending bill; they weren't temporary.
I wonder what those workers are doing now that the money is spent and paperwork is put to bed.
