There are several realities that most Americans (to include Canadians) and many Europeans are faced with. We as individuals have to be content with less and we need to focus on balancing our own budgets and living within our means. Ever since the 1980's Western governments have been on a spending and leveraging spree and the US/Canada and Europe hit the wall.
In the US, the Federal Reserve lowered the interest rate to nearly 0%, the Barack Hussein Obama Regime and the Democratic Party-dominated Congress enacted nearly a trillion dollars in stimulus spending that focused on pet projects. They rammed it through the legislature who didn't even have something to read about before they voted in the blind. They tried cash-for-clunkers, housing tax credits and petty tax breaks, which all ended as dismal failures.
We the People know now that:
- Bail-outs don't work. If your business has been failing for years like General Motors, it's best to let it go the way of the iron horse. Other automobile manufacturers will appear in the void.
- Stimulus only works if it's aimed at STRUCTURE including pro-growth tax reform, infrastructure investment and solid support for small businesses and start-up companies who are the true job creators. Stimulus works if it's focused on human capital.
- Trust in Congress hovers somewhere around 15%. Faith in the government can only be restored when law makers are trustworthy. Today, over 3/4 of all Americans believe that they're not. We'll see what happens with the November 2010 vote and what Republicans decide to do about it.
- The Government must CUT jobs, cut spending and allow business to grow. If it doesn't, there will be no recovery. Barack Hussein Obama is a narcissistic cretin who reads well from a teleprompter. Putting that clown in charge of a national recovery is like expecting a circus ringmaster or a sideshow barker to lead the country. He and his friends must be voted from office.
- ObamaCare is unsustainable and needs to be repealed and replaced with a common sense approach to healthcare that will not cost us trillions of dollars that we don't have.
The Democratic Party faithful seem to be distancing themselves from Obama because they understand that he's an empty suit and that the American people have recognized that. Democrats can redeem themselves by working to save the country rather than to follow the failed practices of a failed presidency. It remains to be seen whether or not they're able to take the high road or not.

Lao - this one is original with me - with the exception of the art work.
LL: I'm sure it will come as no surprise, but I agree with you.
You know its funny (not really), that it may actually be (fingers crossed) that it took this, where we are at today, to get the Titanic turned around. All the claims of racism, all the way-over-the-top spending, is that guy yelling, "Iceburg, dead ahead!"
Dems need to be put on a time out (of politics). Then, after they have had time to contemplate their failures, should they be allowed back in office. And only with reasonable, non-marxist candidates.
For now, OUT with ALL of them!
Interesting that you show all the rats jumping from the listing ship "Obama". Many of those rats are running back to the comparatively safe refuge of Academia. But even that may not be so safe much longer in as much as tuition paying students are likely soon to begin demanding far more value for their tuition dollars and alumni gifts to those institutions are at record lows as a result of the sagged economy.
Democrats: My wish for all of you is that you soon live in interesting times...
I am none too enamored with Republicans because so many of the old timers are RINOs. They think that the trouble we're in is viewed by Americans as 'business as usual' and the country is in no mood for that.
We need to genuinely FIX what can be fixed and to begin to repair what will take a little longer or succumb to the doldrums of the ObamaNation.
Great post. Too bad the people who NEED to read it probably won't and even if they did, they'd say you have no clue what you're talking about. The people we have in control of our nation are just about completely disconnected from the people. They've forgotten that they SERVE us and are NOT to rule us.
Of course, many Americans have forgotten that as well.
I am discouraged with the Republican party as well. In fact, I no longer consider myself one. It should be renamed the RINO party. The Republican party of today is merely the democrat party of 20 years ago.
Economics? We don't need no Stinkin Economics!
Interesting post!

Let me help: they're not. But neither are many Republicans; like Krystal said.
Now. Feel better?
