What does Clinton or Nixon have to do with what is going on now? I survived a lot of Presidents and don't expect the President to give me what I want but instead to provide a policy that allows me to generate what I NEED. You seem to have a vision for the Federal Govt. that is contrary to the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution. It isn't the government's role to provide you what you want and in spite of all the money we spend all we have to show for it is a huge debt and the problems remain. How much money is wasted each year on healthcare, education, and the EPA and still the problems exist? Why aren't you demanding accountability for all that money that is being spent and wasted by the Federal Govt. that you support?
we disagree. it's the government's role to work to achieve equality of opportunity. i hate government waste, and i don't think obama is serious about reducing it, of course, which president really has been? EPA? republican presidents take the teeth out of envrionmental protections, dems add the teeth back. we go back and forth. you seem to think that everyone is capable of taking care of themselves. they're not. of course, when it's corporate welfare, that's just peachy.
i expect our president, and our government, to focus on the people of the country, and not on just the wealthy, or the corporations. i'm a liberal, after all. and i make no apologies for it. there is nothing wrong with a hand up.
