Duck:
Where did I advocate "gutting" spending? Where did I ever defend excessive spending by the Bush admin.
Have you got even a single example of me defending Bush spending? Was it my criticism of the drug benefit?

Lastly, none of your posts have even touched on the subject of the topic, and your "not to your liking" crap
is completely without foundation.
Ideology, John.  I wasn't here but I can bet that not only did you not say that two plus trillion in tax cuts for teh rich were wasteful spending, but probably were all for it.  YOu probably defended going to war, without saying a word about the spending.  LIke i said, I could be wrong, but I don't think so.  If you want to make pretend, go for it.

You hand up things that are going on with a Democratic administration and congress like they are evil.  They are not, John, they are just things you personally don't like.  THat doesn't make them wrong, John.  They just aren't carved from yours.

But if you want... Healthcare costs are rising and will be 120% higher in something like 8 years.  That means a family (or their company) now pays $12,600 a year.  THat will become $25,00 in 8 years.  That isn't even possible for many families or corporations to sustain.  So, heatcare needs delt with.  So far, the Republican idea is MANDATE that everyone PRIVATELY has to buy their own insurance, do away with Medicare and Medicaid, and maybe a little tort reform.  THat isn't going to do any good.

Cap ad TRade.  Energy costs are way too high.  Remember how we got to more than $4.00 a gallon and your people just shrugged?  This is also a part of global warming.  What price do you put on living?  If the earth freezes and can't support life, your tax cutting won't help us.

"Dollar tanking, and no effort whatsoever to rein in deficit."  Dah, you can't do anything until the previous mess gets cleaned up.

"Government borrowing sucking the sustenance out of private economy."  THe government put money INTO the economy so that it woudl restart.  Some is.  To have done nothing would mean totally abnkrupt and GONE banks.  The dollar would be worth a few cents TO US.  THe private economy now has teh dollars to work with, BECAUSE of the things that were done.

"The stimulous bill? Print $ 3 billion for Cash for Clunkers? Raise taxes?"  A three year plan to get the  economy back to where it should be.  Cash for clunkers gave some temporary work to people tha were laid off, and gave the states billions in taxes.  Your idia to starve the states and bussiness of money would create a depression.

Minimum wage was raised long before teh economic crisis.  Yet, isn't it good that people that used to make $20.00 an hour, can now work minimum wage for a few cents more?

You goof nugget.  Talk about a content-free response.  Resorting to the old you-can't-spell-so-you-are-stupid argument.

I was hoping for a nice exposition of the Republican plan for the economy.

FF:
German last name yes. Stepped in what? Am I advocating destroying the union? Did I call for a internal civilian force, equal to the military, to guard against internal dissention? Obama did.

Does anybody out there have anything on what Obama is doing to improve the economy?
