Voting Day

...ever since Obama and the Democrats took control of the presidency, the Senate, and the House, government spending has skyrocketed, the economy continues to tank, nearly a 10% unemployment rate, home foreclosures are expected to get worse, and you believe the Democrats are a good thing? You haven't been cleaning up a mess, the Democrats have been making a bigger mess. We see the change, where's the hope?

The economy continues to tank?

Do you remember 2008? The economy had collapsed. The banks and the auto industry were ready to fold. We were looking at the next Great Depression.

Today, we have sluggish growth in the economy. Not great but better than free fall.

The stimulus wasn't nearly as big as it needed to be. You can thank compromise with the Republicans and Obama's weak leadership for that. Jobs have been created in the private sector but lost in the public sector due to state and local spending cuts. We can expect more if the Republicans get their way. In any event, things are better now than they were two years ago.

So what do you think the Republicans will bring to the table? What's their plan to cut 700 billion in taxes for the top 1% and still balance the budget at the same time? How are they going to create jobs and cut spending at the same time? Before you answer "tax cuts will solve everything", we've tried that under Bush. It's proven to be an inefficient means of stimulating the economy.
