OJR Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 The Democrats new promise "A New Direction For America" The stock market is at a new all-time high and America's 401K's are back. A new direction from there means, what? Unemployment is at 25 year lows. A new direction from there means, what? Oil prices are plummeting. A new direction from there means, what? Taxes are at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means, what? Federal tax revenues are at all-time highs. A new direction from there means, what? The Federal deficit is down almost 50%, just as predicted over last year. A new direction from there means. what? Home valuations are up 200% over the past 3.5 years. A new direction from there means, what? Inflation is in check, hovering at 20 yea r lows. A new direction from there means, what? Not a single terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11/01. A new direction from there means, what? Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Queda's top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel. A new direction from there means, what? Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel, including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks. A new direction from there means, what? Just as President Bush foretold us on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism -- and just as President Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are arriving from the shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here. A new direction from there means, what? Now let me see, do I have this right? I can expect: The economy to go South Illegals to go North Taxes to go Up Employment to go Down Terrorism to come In Tax breaks to go Out Social Security to go Away Health Care to go the same way gas prices have gone But what the heck! I can gain comfort by knowing that Nancy P, Hillary C, John K, Edward K, Howard D, Harry R and Obama have worked hard to create a comprehensive National Security Plan, Health Care Plan, Immigration Reform Plan, Gay Rights Plan, Same Sex Marriage Plan, Abortion On Demand Plan, Tolerance of Everyone and Everything Plan, How to Return all Troops to the U. S. in The Next Six Months Plan, A Get Tough Plan, adapted from the French Plan by the same n ame and a How Everyone Can Become as Wealthy as We Are Plan. I forgot the No More Katrina Storm Plan. Now I know why I feel good after the elections. I am going to be able to sleep so much better at nights knowing these dedicated politicians are thinking of me and my welfare. Please pass this good news along to all of your friends so they can feel better also.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Re: Think About It! Here's something else to keep in mind. None of those things will happen right away. It will likely take several years before we start seeing the consequences of the actions of the next Congress, and by then we might very well have Republicans back in control. So guess who would get the blame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Re: Think About It! Sorry to have to disagree with one of your points. The Federal Deficit is at an all time high and climbing, not down 50%. Beanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Re: Think About It! Strange as this may sound, you're both correct. The total dollars of the Federal Deficit is increasing, but when taken as a percentage of the economy (GDP), it's less than it was in the early 2000's. Here's an analogy - If you make $50,000 a year and owe the bank $1,000,000 that's a lot of debt. But if I make $1,000,000 a year and owe the bank $2,000,000 it's no big deal. My deficit may be double your deficit, but as a percentage of my income (GDP) it's actually lower. That makes it much more manageable and more financially sound. Now, with all that being said, I would prefer that there be NO deficit spending by Congress. That would decrease our tax burden so much that this economy would literally soar through the roof.
