Major election wins for conservatives...

Originally posted by oldsoldier Yes how long did it take the nation to forget Hoover and that economic downturn. As the economy continues to spiral the bowl faster and faster with the help of current Dem policies, will the masses forget the promises made and immediately broken. The Stimulus just spead up the process, instead of reversing it. Now burden the economy with another giant spending give away (health care) and the flush will be complete. BTW what happened to Pelosi's promise of a on web review of the bill for 72hours prior to the vote? What does she fear?

I'm sorry, are you actually looking at any of the numbers currently being recorded in relation to our economy?

I could care less what Pelosi does or says about the health care bill -- there's a clear consensus on both sides of what's going to happen with it, and people have both had more than enough time to talk about it and to write their senators demanding answers.

I've been saying all along that we ARE at normalcy when you look at the logarithmic charts depicting the actions of the markets and economic outlook from the early 1900's through today. The only people who think that we're seriously bad off right now are the same ones who think that 'Merica can do no wrong and that tariffs on foreign goods are a good idea. It isn't the gov't that got us here people, it's you, me, and everyone else. The gov't didn't help, but it wasn't any one particular president's fault. Rather the actions of both Reagan and Clinton that allowed common people to put our economic livelihood at risk.

I love watching you guys bash your heads against each other.

The economy works in cycles, in much the same way as seasons, women, and tides.
