Wow, way to generalize. And no, I would not have answered it differently.

Gosh, I didn't see the OP mention any particular administration or regime.

Funny how people jump to that conclusion though...

...not really funny though, more so sad and pathetic.

Wow, this is nuts. How can some of you be so jaded? So no matter who is in power, they all suck & are out to get all of us. Why even live here or anywhere for that matter? To go thru your whole life getting pis**ed & paranoid & frustrated every day, I just don't get it.

They are acting. Just being contrarians because they loathe the fact that they lost the elections.

What a ridiculous thing to say! I have held my same beliefs for 30 years. The facts are - the least government interference that we have in our lives, the better off we all will be. Our constitution outlines what responsibilities the federal government has to We, the People, and if you take the time to read it, you will find that there ain't nothing in it that says We, the People are to pay for entitlements, nor does it say we should pay for bank bail outs, union pension bail outs, car manufacturer bail outs, etc.

This has nothing to do w/ who the President is, except that this President seems to believe the Federal government has to right to mandate every aspect of our lives - and to tax us all into oblivion, while spending money like it grows on trees (or like it is borrowed from China and Dubai).

You left out "insane" as an option.

A crazy person is defined as someone who does the samething over and over again, expecting a different result. The US government has failed at everything it has attempted for more than two centuries. Therefore, anyone who expects a different result, other than failure, from the US government must be clinically insane. Drink up all you wacko Obamatrons.

I don't think it's ridiculous at all. And all this additional stuff you've added about interference in our lives, etc, wasn't even brought up by the OP. Very telling on your part though.

So, you don't like streets and highways? Paramedics? You really believe the government can do ZERO good? Why do you stay then?

And yeah, I REALLY believe you that it has nothing to do with this administration WHEN YOU GO ON TO CRITICIZE IT. Talk out of both sides of your mouth much? Just couldn't resist unintentionally proving my point, could you?

Don't quit your day job, you are no good as an actor.
