Tax and spend is not a different approach.

Is that because the prior approach worked so well?...

I'm with Reel....but thats all I'm saying or Willy will never invite me fishing

GW, along with a democratic controlled congress passed large deficit budgets that many conservatives, independents and democrats criticized vehemently.
Nobody listened
GW along with Obama and McCain pushed thru a stimulus package that put this country in a huge debt.
As of the two spending aka stimulus packages passed this year along with the largest single deficit in our nations history were passed under Obama. Made the spending by Bush look trivial in comparison.
The Democratically controlled Congressional Office of Budget and Managment told the entire country right up front that we cannot carry this debt, the small amount going to actually stimulate anything would not compensate for the massive debt and printing of money(inflation) that will come from it.
In fact they said if you did nothing this recession would likely run its course in 12-18 months.
Every single economist of merit said the same thing, your blue dog Congressman and senators from the south told him that.
They were told to shut up, they experienced ad campaigns in their home districts paid for by George Soros and his front group Move on dot org. criticizing these men and women for standing up and telling the truth.
You cannot spend your way out of debt, you cannot print money by the billions to finance a socialistic agenda and expect free Americans to stand by quietly.
You cannot use your cronies in the press and media to silence dissent in America
You cannot refer to those Americans who believe in God, who believe in our Constitution and all of the Bill of Rights as right wing loons.
I dont care if you are black or white or yellow, I dont care if you are a Dem a republican an independent or whatever else is out there. What is being done here is horrible and to say this agenda just needs some time to work is the attitude that got us in this mess with Bush and now this Obamination.
Neither are listening to the people who pay the bills here, they quite frankly could not care less, you see now there are enough people on the government t!t in the major cities to keep them in power for a long time.
Until the people of all colors, all backgrounds all parties recognize that the Federal Government is gone way beyond "out of control" and has designs on controlling everything about our lives then we are doomed to follow in the footsteps of the Europeans who now have nationalized banks, transportation, medicine and are not alowwed to possess firearms etc. etc and roll to the tune of whatever the government says.
If you cannot see the agenda you need to step back and look.
It is right in front of you

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

Well said. My thoughts exactly.
