Not suggesting that the prior approach did work. Judging from where we are today, it seems clear that it didn't. I don't care what side of the aisle your on, there's plenty of blame to go around. As it says at the bottom of every one of your posts Reel "Nothing resembles a democrat more than a republican..." I didn't vote for Obama, but that doesn't mean I want him to fail. I'm sure he wants to do what he feels is in the best interest of the country. I just don't agree that we can spend more than we have to work our way out of a problem that was created by spending more than we have. Enough is enough. You don't get out of debt by spending more, you get out of debt by spending less. The problem is a lack of confidence in the economy. How does continuing down the path that got us here inspire confidence? The Tea Party folks are basically saying that we've given enough of our hard earned money to Republicans and Democrats and we don't have confidence that giving more will help. In fact I think it is more likely to hurt. You want to stimulate the economy? Give me my money back. I'll stimulate the economy where it matters most to me, right here at home with the local business run by my friends and neighbors. Give my friends and neighbors their money back and they'll do the same. Next thing you know we're all better off. It took more than W to cause this, it's going to take more than Obama to fix it.
Willy's right, throw them all out in the next election. Then we need term limits
