I certainly don't think we would have had the 800 billion in stimulus that did work nor would we have the uncertainty in economic policies plus the on going uncertainty how delay in many respect of Obamcare. Obama came into office with a long enemies list and has done little but make speeches since.He has a healthcare delayed and not working even on few measure in place and he is ignored by world leaders on foreign policy.

This is true but there would have been other things that would have happened that would have caused uncertainty. If Romney or McCain was president we might have got ourselves involved in places like Libya, Syria and Egypt.

Or that was the reason gave to vote for Obama anyway.

Fine. Have it your goofy way.

Trickle down does work, just not in the way we are going about it.

Microsoft has made a very good living for thousands of people. In that instance trickle down does work.

Taking money from the lower classes and giving it to banks and corporations to hopefully trickle back down does not work.

They did vote against them and they delayed funding. A job inst going to be shovel ready if it has no funding.

Republicans bragging about those initiatives not working is like someone bragging about winning a fight after tying the other person's hand behind their back.

That's a stupid argument.

Why aren't the wealthy letting their wealth trickle down.....



Right now, in 2013, you can see how much wealth the wealthy have..... Where are all the jobs that they are supposed to be creating..... Hmmmmmmm?

Private sector profits just keep climbing higher......In fact trending the same prior to the recession....



Geeze with all that wealth and profit, what gives Dale Cooper?
