Obama and Congress will all be blamed for this! Why can't they just cut taxes for EVERYONE and CUT WASTEFUL SPENDING! So simple. If you raise taxes on rich people, unemployment will go up like what happened in France.

Congress had no problem debating over TARP..you know, that blank check to the Fed.
Yet they have problems when it comes to issues concerning their constituents.

And we see this time after time after time.

They have to make sure the people that pay to get them voted don't get hurt too much with their solutions.
They don't care about us; we're nothing to them outside of the month or so before elections.

What France did was insane - raising the taxes to 70 percent overnight. Nobody's proposing anything close to that here. Might help to be educated.

I agree with you: congress is the problem. Thanks for finally being straight up about it.

We've already cut spending. Obama has cut spending by winding down two wars.

Might help to actually keep up with facts instead of copying the Heritage Foundation's website.

The best part about it is, there's no spinning it. The House simply isn't voting on it, despite pressure from Senate Republicans. They can spin it any way they want, but it's on them now. The recession is on Republicans. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Even the business community knows it.

I predict Republicans are going to get shredded at the polls next time.

The repubs presented several plans that obama and the dems either completely ignored or poo-pooed......the recession, if there is one, is the fault of dems who are on nothing but a total power trip.

Yet, the military spending remains the same. The problem are these extremely influential weapons contractor lobbies. Those guys got congress by the balls.
