This as Obama delivers the biggest, most bloated, pork-filled, deficit-ridden budget in history to Congress.

The real problem is that we’ve had only about 4-6 years of a conservative Congress in the last 40. No coincidence the last time this country had a balanced budget was at the tail end of the Republican Revolution in the 1990s. From 2000-2006 we got a return of big government Republicanism and everthing before or since has been dominated by the left.

Only a liberal could see his side hold power for 90% of the time while a huge debt was run up, then turn around and look for somebody else to blame. He is unintentionally right in the fact that crippling the Democrat Congress is the only way to move the country forward. Of course the solution is conservative governance, not Obama being given dictatorial powers.

The government has done great things in the past, such as great education, roads, parks, civil rights. It’s the party of no that only sees government as a problem that is the problem.

Back to back posts, jack? I must have hit a bit too close to home on that one. Sorry if the truth hurts…not.

“intellctually nuanced” = Bullshit

So correct, for most people the article is too much “bullshit” too handle.

GWB was the first Republican administration to have a governming majority in modern history – also the smallest governing majority in modern history – and it lasted for 4 years, and that includes two years with a 50/50 senate. In that time, GWB made an effort to solve two of the biggest problems the country has ever faced: Social Security insolvency, and the politicization of Fannie/Freddie underwriting standards. Democrats blocked both. We’ve already seen what the latter led to, and the reckoning day for the former will be worse. But yeah, let’s blame “both sides” for “gridlock.”

No ideas. No concept of history. No morality. No leadership. No brains.

Best description of the Democrat party I’ve ever heard. Well done, Jack!

The world is too complicated for the lower taxes and no defecit crowd.

Actually I distracted by my steak gyro lunch and didn’t finish my original post completely.

Post your English broken understand hard it is.. heh heh heh

Moron.

I have to agree that to a certain degree, the nation appears past a point we can achieve anything major any longer. No highway system, no space program, we can’t even seem to maintain our infrastructure. Is congress to blame or the people?

Yet the fact is, what congress is trying to do now is very, very bad for the country. Sometimes big projects aren’t smart and shouldn’t happen.

Wow.
I stop posting for a while and RWN gets new and more childlike trolls. Or ARE they new? “Jack”, have you ever posted to this site under a different name? Under “Goalie_with_a_40″ for example? You sound an awful lot like that guy. or perhaps your previous screen name was “Scrappy”. You sound alot like him too. But then that’s not proof of anything. Perhaps it’s just that young (or perhaps just childish) trolls all tend to sound alike after a while and share some of the same tired old talking points.

Why Isn’t There A Lightbulb Going Off In Frank Rich’s Head?

It is. The light is on but nobody’s home. Kinda like Jack Shit.

“Is congress to blame or the people?”

Yes. When 60% of a budget that is 40% borrowed is spent on entitlements, we cut the space program, our bridges collapse into rivers, we can barely sustain our military in two minor wars, our states go broke from unfunded mandates, and every debate over reforming a program comes down to a squabble over how to pay for it.

Either we dismantle the welfare state or it will dismantle this country. We’ve known it for years but this recession is just hurrying along the inevitable.

And its the Party of “O” that had the White House, had the House, had a supermajority in the Senate that has managed to achieve exactly schite for a full quarter of President Spock’s failed presidency.

Hey, everyone said healthcare had to pass or Bambi’s presidency would be “destroyed,” right?

Well, consider it destroyed. Bambi is increasingly irrelevant. He couldn’t even help a dogcatcher get elected.

Well, they pretty much get their talking points from the same places, or are just repeating the trash their teachers cram into their empty little heads.

I certainly don’t expect us to plow through infrastructure projects at the same rate, or in the same manner that FDR’s administration, HST’s administration or DDE’s administration did. The world has changed since then and with it so have the focus, scope and even the nature of many of those infrastructure projects. The projects of today deal with problems which are technically much harder to solve than were the projects of days gone by. Earlier generations got to pick the low-hanging fruit of the infrastructure world; we’re left with the tough stuff.

Personally, if I had the chance to choose just one infrastructure project for the nation to tackle, it would be that of making fission power economically feasible in 10 years. Make it the focus of a national effort like the Manhattan project of the 40′s or the Apollo programme of the 60′s. Have the president get up and giving a rousing speech about the need to dedicate a significant portion of our national science and engineering resources to the project, and then follow through with the policies and fiscal support to make it happen.

But I have the feeling that pigs are going to be making regular flights between JFK and LAX long before that happens.

Actually, Mr. Hawkins, I think you missed the most disgusting part of Mr. Rich’s screed:

If Reid can serve as the face of Democratic fecklessness in the Senate, then John McCain epitomizes the unpatriotic opposition.

Now, reasonable people can find plenty to fault John McCain with. But, calling a guy who spent six years in a Vietnamese POW camp, both enduring torture and refusing early release because it would be disloyal to the country and his fellow prisoners, qualifies you as a full-fledged, card-carrying douche, especially when the sum total of your heroic life experience amounts to sitting through a mediocre rendition of Cats.
