Republicans Blame Workers for our Troubles, David Horsey

Usually I wouldn't even bother commenting on blog posts, but this one is blatantly misinformed I almost fell out of my chair reading it. First of all, entitlement spending will begin bankrupting our country within 16 years (when it starts eating 44% of our GDP). I know this may be a shocking idea for you to consider, but perhaps people should show some fiscal sense and save for their retirement instead of expecting the government to pay for it. Privatizing social security is necessary. Perhaps the Republican way of doing it wasn't the best, but it's certainly better than the alternative you've proposed (nothing).

Secondly, the plan of lowering taxes is not what got us into this mess. It was excess liquidity in the secondary mortgage market created by Fannie & Freddie. Beyond that, you could say that a lack of regulation in the derivatives market was ultimately the issue. To accuse lower taxes of being the core problem here leads me to wonder whether your brain screens your thoughts before excreting them onto the world wide web.

Two things need to happen: lower taxes for both the middle class and the companies employing them, and cut excessive government spending. Two trillions dollar could be saved bringing out troops home from their locations abroad. Gee, that's enough to cover TARP loans and then some. By curbing excessive government spending and giving Americans more money, jump starting the economy might just be possible.

So please, get your head out of your ass and think next time before you regurgitate your stereotyping bullshit onto the internet.

No, I didn't send any money to Ron Paul. But you know, after seeing how both parties have used Congress to bankrupt our nation both fiscally and morally... maybe I should have.

oh, and I liked your cartoon. very cute.
