In your let's-go-back-to-the-good-old-days world everything was hunky dory as long as the "regular" (read Archie Bunker's reference to "Black Elmo" and Regular Elmo") guys were taken care of. The whole reason for government growing in the first place was because the conservatives in their respective states couldn't be trusted to follow the rules when it came to people of color. You'll note I didn't say Republican or Democrat. I said conservative. Tell me when was Martin King a member of the Conservative Citizens Council? Did he and Haley Barbour carpool to the meetings? Deep down in places you don't want to talk about race still matters and it will continue to until we stop treating it like our brother is beating his wife and the family doesn't want to discuss or correct it. You know the whole thing flipped from the "Dixiecrats" (L.B.J. signed that dreaded (as in Dred Scott) Civil Rights Act leaving those southern democrats without a home) until your patron saint of Conservatism (Ronald the older I get the better I was Reagan)kicked off his Presidential campaign in the same place three civil rights freedom riders were murdered (Philadelphia, Mississippi) as a way of letting those segregationists who longed for the good old days know they had a home in the Republican party. You want to find money? Check Halliburton, Blackwater and the oil companies profits prior to George W. Bush's election and after. How come no one in the "liberal media" has bothered to ask how much money the insurance companies have funneled to our conservative and liberal congressmen and senators to defeat the President's healthcare reforms?Your side didn't say word one when Bush, Jr. put two wars on the credit card. Its all about spending money only where you want it spent. America must reinvest in its own ingenuity. Alternative sources of fuel and energy. You want to revive the economy? Since we averted a Depression, make those same banks we saved forgive one fourth of the mortgage on the homes of those people who make between $30,000 and $250,000 yearly. If the government shuts down, I present a motion no one in Congress gets paid first and they should not be paid until they can come up with a budget both sides agree upon.Nerokorn@aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-82007233611142910742011-02-16T21:07:02.301-05:002011-02-16T21:07:02.301-05:00If the Dems were sooooo concerned about it, they s...If the Dems were sooooo concerned about it, they should have passed a budget last year when they still had control of both chambers. Instead, they decided to play chicken with the voters... and lost.<br /><br />Too bad, so sad.

No...How many of those jobs are actually necessary? Not many I would venture to say. Since I live just outside of DC I can assure you that government workers know there is a great deal of waste, but since it pays the bills (quite nicely in many instances) they don't say anything.Just a conservative girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982406297072353275noreply@blogger.com
