Will the Progressives "over reach" with Obamacare and TRILLIONS of new debt help Democrats in 2012?

Question

Or is America sick and tired of politicians finding new ways to take away more of our hard earned money through higher taxes to pay for THEIR reckless spending, or by telling us what we have to buy lest we face a penalty fine?

Answer 1

It will help them right out of office I guess they didn't hear the message of Nov 2ND

Answer 2

LOL. The other choice is Republicans, who have a track record of running up the deficit on phony wars and welfare programs for foreigners, all while they hand out tax cuts to their rich supporters and let the deficit run a muck. Given a choice between these two evils, I will vote for the people who spend our money AMERICA. I would prefer true fiscal conservatives, who believe as I do that the government should not spend more than it collects in taxes. Unfortunately, I know of only one who has even attempted to run in recent history(Ron Paul), and he doesn't have a prayer of winning.



"....or by telling us what we have to buy lest we face a penalty fine?"



That was originally a Republican idea back in the days of Hillary Care. Sadly democrats wussed out and let the Blue Dogs sleaze it into the Obama plan. It wasn't originally part of the plan.



"The experts all say that if unemployment remains above 8% the democrats are finished."



NAME ONE. What makes you or anybody else think Republicans have any magic on unemployment?

Answer 3

The experts all say that if unemployment remains above 8% the democrats are finished. Even Chris Matthews said that Americans vote depending on the economy. If the economy is bad, then they vote out the party in charge. If the economy is good, then they keep the same party in charge. This is exactly what we have seen the past 2 elections. Unfortunately, Americans aren't smart enough to realize what has caused this bad economy. The 3 primary causes are Illegal Immigration, free trade, and easy credit. All of which the democrats support even more than Bush did.



It's over for the democrats. They have done nothing to create jobs for Americans, and in fact, have only supercharged Bush policies which are ignoring Illegal immigration and seeking out new free trade agreements. The very policies which helped to create this permanent recession in the first place.



Democrats are finished.

Answer 4

I think of this differently. In Canada or England, the National Health provides the same level of service to everyone, paid by an income tax. Here, under President Obama’s plan, everyone has to have a minimum of coverage but each individual can select the one that’s right for him. This is better, isn’t it?



As for the rest, President Obama was handed a God-awful mess and did some pretty good work against unfair, unwarranted, unreasoned opposition from every Republican congress member in both the House and the Senate. Despite this mindless contempt from the GOP, the DOW closed above 11,200, jobs are up, GNP is positive, American forces are coming back from that senseless war in Iraq, the rotten, greedy, credit card companies can’t jack up your interest rate on any damn whim and sick little kids can no longer be denied health coverage.



Not a bad two years in my book. He should be easily reelected.

Answer 5

I would assume you mean Regressives instead of Progressives. When ever the government sticks their hands out for our money you can bet most of it is to line their own pockets (agendas). I would say let the people decide what to do with the money since its supposed to be for the peoples benefit. I believe thats why this is a federalist government. So that the States can decide for themselves what is in their own best interest and call in the Federal government when absolutely necessary. Am I wrong or did we switch to a socialist government when the people fell asleep during the hippie days.

Answer 6

How does defense have a return? I don't think you guys get paid to shoot people.

Answer 7

No, it won't help them, Pelosi sank that ship long ago.



And 0bama, after signing all that crap is a guaranteed one-termer.

Answer 8
