La la land posting again? Care to back up this statement with a single fact or do you not care that you come off as as someone who just lies and makes things up as you along..

I agree, go back to quote 1 and 2 and review your own advice.
Predictable drive-by by the left-wing. Tell them to back it up with facts and their gone.

Bush spent us into this mess and it is continuing to this day. Honestly, I'm fed up with ALL politicians, whether they be Democrat or Republican. I sincerely believe they are all one in the same.

The government was part of the destruction of the WTC towers. Sorry, but here's another video that wasn't by Alex Jones. Very credible. Of course, it requires sustained attention for about an hour and a half.

The Canadian system is leeching off of America, the same with a lot of their government programs. America is their handy-dandy FREE relief valve.

Let me explain why I say this.

1. The Canadians can afford to impose artificially low rates for drugs sold by the drug manufacturers in Canada, because the drug companies simply pass on the costs to Americans.

2. The Canadians can afford to limit costs to their health care system, by reducing the availability of expensive diagnostic procedures, since the people can just go south and get the tests or treatment they need in America.

3. They do not need to accept Bush's offer to help America deploy a North American ballistic missile defense shield, because they know we will protect them by default, since they are sandwiched between mainland USA and Alaska.

4. They can also get by with a small military force, because they know America has their back.

The Canadians are saving hundreds of billion of their dollars in taxes each year, by falling back on their big brother to take up the slack.

Because they think Medicare and Medicaid are being run so cost effectively, not realizing that when they force doctors and hospital to provide care at a greatly reduced cost, the doctors and hospitals simply remedy their losses by passing the costs on, to us private health care folks.

Well, you can't ignore this one (http://digg.com/d1XAzJ - broken link).

Anyone defending the constitution or protesting the actions of the government can be identified as a "domestic terrorist" and can be reported to the F.B.I. for investigation. What a good way to strip us of our first amendment rights. No one will be able to object to anything the government does or we will be identified as right-wing extremists and can be detained indefinitely as a threat to the U.S.

But I'm probably in the wrong area. You guys are talking about being out of money. (Don't you wonder where the money went???)

Yes, we need a program like TARP or government bailouts, that will fix everything, good idea, you should float this idea past 0bama.

F&F were government controlled entities, and they bought up every mortgage they saw, and were responsible for a lot of the housing bubble and collapse.

Do you think some people were doing things illegally, and need to go to go on trial, or off to prison for the banking fiasco, but do you see anyone? No, you don't. What we do see is government rewarding some of these crooks with taxpayer money, bailouts, TARP etc...

The only government regulation I see, is restricting the use of corporate jets, or office decorating policy and executive pay, and none of those were the reason for this economic collapse.

And people like Biden, Pelosi and Reid are any better then the above, I think not.

Just to let you know the 3 you mentioned are ten times smarter people then anyone you can toss out.

You do not like them because they make your skin crawl.

Gambler, well millions gambled on Obama and so far they have lost their asses.
Biden has got to be the dumbest, most reckless and irresponsible Vice President ever, and Pelosi has got to be the most loony and dumbest speaker of the house, and Reid is not any better, these people all make 0bama look much better then he really is.

Please 0bama, do not do anything that may result in Pelosi or Biden taking your job..... PLEASE?!!

You mean:

"I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I'm the decider, and I decide what is best. And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense."

I think president Bush was the one who decides whether or not to fire a member of his administration. It was 0bama's decision to fire Louis Caldera for the Air Force One photo debacle, and it will be 0bama's decision to fire any other appointee, not the press, or the opinion polling services.
