This post actually began as a FaceBook reply to an old friend who is noticing some of the same things I am.
The Democrats are desperate to prove they didn’t ruin this economy beyond repair. I will actually feel horrible if this does rage into a depression before the 2012 election and the Republicans get away with blaming the Democrats.
It is now a very old dogma that seems to go back well before the “great depression” (there were two more I’m pretty sure were worse than 1929 by the way, in the 1870s and in the 1760s!!!)
The Republicans keep calling the Democrats “tax and spend” which is a half truth at best. Most of the time they must tax us it is because they were handed an impossible situation by Republicans who perhaps do not tax, but outspend Democrats at least 2 to 1!!!
Where on earth do they expect us to grasp that this spending will come from? Whatever Democrat is honest enough and suicidal enough to tax us!!!
Then they play blame the victim like a rapist trying his hardest to tell the judge that she deserved it because her dress was red, or it was low cut enough to almost see a nipple!!!
Do people fall for this every single time?
I wish they’d wake up before this off year election and I certainly wish they will get it before 2012!!!
