And do I care what Jindal has to say, we are over 16 trillion in debt and under Obama he has increased that debt by 6 trillion in just 4 yrs, and is still climbing by over a trillion a year under Liberal Obama. But to you liberals living on borrowed money is just fine as long as you don't have to pay for it. The EPA is killing the coal industry and all the jobs but you liberals don't care about jobs, never have. I could list a long page of job killing Liberal BS. Further you love entitlements, but you hate being told you are burring this country in a mountain of debt. Why, because you believe there is no end to the money supply.
Again, it is this kind of stupid, one-sided blanket accusation that is killing your party! And the crazy thing is you guys believe every one of it never once stopping long enough to even try to see things from the other side.
There are people out there who are hurting NOT because of policies the President signed into law, but because of policies that were in effect BEFORE he took office. Yet, you completely ignore that reality and instead inject your own.
Instead of acknowledging that our deficit has been increasing with each succeeding President/Congress, you lay blame squarely at the feet of this President (re: "6 trillion in just 4 yrs").
Instead of acknowledging that Congress has either been printing money or borrowing money for years, you would rather have everyone believe that this President (and a Democrat majority in Congress from the recent past) did it all by himself (themselves).
You point the finger at the EPA without acknowledging how the very "marketplace" you coveat has impacted the coal industry (i.e., natural gas and other low-cost alternatives energy sources slowly supplanting coal much as petrolium oil at one point supplanted whale oil).
Look, I get that many Americans are worried about the so-called "fiscal cliff". You're worried about America's place in the world today. You're worried that we've lost our edge, that the country has gone soft in the eyes of the world particular with our "enemies". You worry that America's properity is in jeopardy, that our ability to project power has been dinimished. I get it!
Relax!
America is not weak.
America will not go broke (not for real). We may be in debt up to our eyeballs, but we'll never go broke not as long as the world sees America as a commodity whether we perform as the world's top exporter as we once were post-WWII or as a leading importer. (Although you certainly want to be more of an exporter than an importer).
The only way our enemies get to us is if we pull another Pearl Harbor or 9/11 and get complacent.
And as far as our ability to project power, you're still thinking w/a Cold-War mentality. While we do need to be careful not to put too much stock in "digital/electronic" warfare, I think our military will continue to reassess its war-fighting capabilities and will always remain strong and fully capable of defending the homeland.
So, relax...
