The inevitable is going to happen, no matter who got in!

Medicare is the biggest drain on our shrinking piggy bank, and that sounds like a good start to me: a 30% reduction in funding.

I work in a LTC/Rehab facility, and the waste is sinfully out of sight! Yup! Give them all an electric wheelchair! Do that hip operation on that 90-year-old man! Or do that bypass operation on that 85-year-old woman! Or a knee replacement on that elderly patient who's suffering from emphysema, and doesn't have much longer to live! We've got the $$$ to do all that!

Never mind, the 15-year-old, with no insurance, who merely needs some dental work!

Congrats on your home increasing in value, but step back and look at the bigger picture. While home prices are going up, the average income for Americans is going down. This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a good thing. What this shows is that the prices of commodities are getting higher while the ability to pay for those commodities is being eroded. We're heading back into recession, in other words. Not a good sign, if you ask me.

Not really the PEOPLE. Observe the electoral college map and one can see the West Coast+ NE + specific liberal or swing states have a lock on the majority of the country which far outnumber the remainder of the states. A benefit to anyone with a Liberal platform. This truly is a distinct disadvantage to anyone with a conservative platform. As the country edges away from self-reliance to government reliance the gap will only worsen.

How stupid are you? The stock market is falsely inflated by QE (do you even know what that is?) dollars, the housing market is being perpetuated by government bailouts. All of it is smoke and mirrors. Look at history and see what happens when you artifically pump money into a system and the resulting effect. Oh to be so happy and ignorant!!

We spend way too much on defence. We spend more than the next 20 nations combined. We have too many nukes, when you can destroy the world with one sub we don't need more. We have to cut the military for a leaner smarter military, I know thats a bit of an oxymoron but we have to shrink up. We need a national health care system, strengthen SS and Medicare and Medicaid.

Uh huh. And where would all of this money to restart NASA and whatnot have come from?

military is constantly a big drain on a our you cant whine about high spending and no jobs and not make some changes, we're not the world police, remember ron paul is a fav of conservatives and he wanted to do the same, don't get mad because obama wanted to do it, makes sense.

Romney's plan was not possible, to expand an over bloated military and cut taxes more for the rich. Maybe now we can get some fiscal sanity, when the CEOs of major companies say taxes need to go up for the rich how can the tea baggers say cut taxes more? I think it was Hawkeye who said he had 23 million in some Brazil Mut fund, he is just mad he will now have to pay up his fair share for what he has taken from the USA. LMAO
