'The American People Have Rendered their Judgement"

[spanone]

President Barack Obama

wake up republics



In the last few days, we've seen proposals arise from some in Congress that you may not have read but you'd be very familiar with because you've been hearing them for the last 10 years, maybe longer. They're rooted in the idea that tax cuts alone can solve all our problems; that government doesn't have a role to play; that half-measures and tinkering are somehow enough; that we can afford to ignore our most fundamental economic challenges -- the crushing cost of healthcare, the inadequate state of so many of our schools, our dangerous dependence on foreign oil.

So let me be clear. Those ideas have been tested, and they have failed. They've taken us from surpluses to an annual deficit of over a trillion dollars, and they've brought our economy to a halt. And that's precisely what the election we just had was all about. The American people have rendered their judgment. And now is the time to move forward, not back. Now is the time for action.

3. The ones in Congress know damn well what Obama's saying is true.

They just don't wanna go beyond tax cuts heavily weighted to the already wealthy. They know better. Their constituents might not but these SOBs know they're promoting deficits and a dragging economy, just trying to get it small enough to drown in the bathtub. I want them to all go away.
