How Low Can It Go?

djnemo65, I may not be as profound as some of our esteemed members of this fine community. But, when the largest global domino (the U.S.) has a it's economy in the toliet. All of the other little dominoes fall suit.

When our president, and his supporters are openly hostile to people of higher means, what would you expect the economy to do?

The vast majority of the people who pulled the lever for the big O, stepped out of that same voting booth with their hand-out looking for a pay-out. Where as the vast majority of the people who voted for the other guy, simply tried to stem the tide. Most of the same people who chant "yes we can", look for government as a solution to their problems. It's not their fault, they just don't know any better. Do you really think that those "yes we can" people will want to roll up their sleeves, and create, innovate, and put forth anything that will have an impact on our current economic crisis? Really, do you?

I think that this government really needs to be aware of who really drives this economic machine, and stop fing with it, and being hostile to it.

Somewhere there is a community missing it's organizer. Interestingly ironic, yes it is.
sorry, but this is ignorance at its best:(

Here's some more food for thought:

Now I hear that Obama is looking into removing the ban on gay's in the military. I hope he spends all his time for the next year working on only that issue.

I've said numerous times around here that I don't get into political debate on the Warpath, however I don't hide the fact that I'm conservative.

This is a solid little write up on our new Tax & Spend Commander In Cheif:

Edit: I'll throw my hat in- since several people are picking 5000, I'll go 5100 for sh*ts and giggles.

Please Mister Obama sir, please don't let our country go belly up.

No he is not out making things even worse. Hey, I have said the same thing about both parties and the best thing for the US is for congress to be in gridlock getting nothing done. That way they can't screw more stuff up even worse. I believe in smaller goverment so when they are not working they are not passing laws making goverment bigger.

Hey 70, how about doing this like Schneed does the salary cap, put the guesses in the 1st post, and update occasionally.

Also, if this is for all the money (so to say) can I put a real guess at 4950.

thx.
