The First Day of the Rest of America

Since most of my readers live in Super Tuesday states, I just want to encourage everyone to go out and vote. I don’t care who you vote for or why you’re voting for them, just do it. This is probably one of the most important elections of the century, and with so many issues on the line, the future of America is at stake. If all goes well, the best man (or woman) for the job will be elected and perhaps our image can be improved abroad and at home.

God Bless.

Sweet Mother of…

I was in a discussion today about why President Bush was bad, and I now have a new arguement to tell you why.

A $3.1 trillion budget. That’s 3,100,000,000,000 Dollars. I don’t know how he can think that this is good for the country. Considering the world is quite possibly about to slip into a recession, and that the government is throwing out money to try and stimulate the economy, with the same tax cuts in place that Bushie put in 8 years ago, things can only get worse from doing this.

What’s perhaps the most disturbing about this is that he has now announced that he realizes that as a result, the U.S. budget deficit would more than double. I may not have a degree in economics, but this can’t be good for the country, in the near term or in the long run. What ever happened to fiscal conservatism?
