ReplyDeleteYou forgot the Department of Education that has never taught a single child a darn thing.
Oh, I forgot:
ReplyDeleteThe EPA and the Dept. of Energy. Both are disasters.
So we are at 3 Trillion now. Piece of cake.
Imagine if we had this real money to pump into our economy. We would be kicking ass right now instead of taling about default.
That Tariffs idea doesn't sound very Republican.
ReplyDeleteSounds more like the AFL-CIO. What about Free Trade? I remember seeing Republicans on TV talking about how good Free Trade was for the economy for years.
They just never mentioned it was the Chinese economy.
Anonymous, Free Trade is a great concept to foster competition among American businesses. When a foreign government like China builds entire cities around manufacturing complexes that house the work staff and pays then pennies per hour wages, that is not Fare Trade. As far as my Tariff idea sounding more like the AFL-CIO, I have nothing against unions and manufacturing that employs union workers. There are Republicans and then there are assholes like Ron Paul who call themselves Republicans. I am posting a new blog complimenting ABC World News for their Made in America series. Last night they asked some Republican presidential candidates to explain why their campaign t-shirts were NOT made in the USA. Ron Paul, who shirts were made in El Salvador, said “No, I wasn’t aware of it… but I wouldn’t change it.” “I would argue the case that the market should determine it.”
