"We've come back," he says of the nation, Wall Street, and the economy. "This is an amazing resurgence"
If 9.9% unemployment is an "amazing resurgence" then paint me purple and call me Barney. Notice that unemployment is still edging upward, and the stock market has dipped 12% since its 2010 peak about a month ago. That truly is an amazing resurgence Lurch.
I am not sure what is more disturbing. A United States Senator this out of touch or a comment like this from one of the goofy ass kool aid drinkers:
"It took GW and the Republicans 8 years to get the country this fouled up. By lowering taxes while spending billions invading the wrong country in the name of a " war on terrorism", giving tax breaks to the wealthy so that we could all be "trickled on", doubling the federal deficit, giving the banks free reign by deregulation, they brought this misery upon us. President Obama and the Democrats have been in power what, a year and a half? Now, all of a sudden, they are the Washington establishment? Those Tea Party slugs are a bunch of whiners who use all of the government services, but do not want to pay for them. Like most Republicans, they want a free lunch. They are all unpatriotic and hypocrites because they all wanted to invade Iraq and now they complain about paying taxes"
This ignoramus thinks that the Republicans controlled the purse strings because a Republican was in the White House... He must have gone to a public school. Doesn't he realize that Congress controls the budget, and that has been Democratically controlled since San Fran Nan took over the speaker ship in 2007? So technically, the last 3 years when spending has EXPLODED it has been the Democrats in charge.
The state of this nation since the Great Uniter has taken the reigns makes me happy I live in my own little world... Yours is just TOO messed up!
Time for my meds!
