As the old saying goes ..... (0.00 / 0)
.... which seems to have been first uttered by former congressman Dick Gephardt:

If you want to live like a Republican - you have to vote like a Democrat.


 "We should pay attention to that man behind the curtain."
facts (0.00 / 0)
It is also true that republicans increase the national debt a lot more than dems.  the rep hero reagan increased it by 150%.  the nd was under 1 trillion when he took office and it was 2.6 trillion when he left.  The reps talk tax cuts and less spending, but only give the cuts.  They must of all failed economics 101. You can't reduce revenue (which is taxes) and increase spending.  The sacrifice americans were asked to make during the Bush backed gulf war was a tax cut.  Did he forget that wars are expensive?
Especially for Republican developers... (0.00 / 0)
In today's print version of the UL the headline is "Developers to get $8.96m from stimulus". The story goes on to detail Manchester project after project going to major donors to the Republican candidates who oppose the stimulus.  

2012 starts today.
It's a wonderful scam (0.00 / 0)
they have going.  
All over the country Republicans are posing with large checks from the government which will bring jobs, and then turning around and bashing the government for giving out money.

Steven Greenhouse from the NYT (0.00 / 0)
has a great book on the unraveling of the middle class in the US - The Big Squeeze.

Here's an excerpt published in 2008 in the NYT - incredibly informative without overwhelming the reader with true, but useless info.  Link:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04...

"Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world." A. Einstein
