So what is the plan to fix the problems? Besides a whole lot of whining and crying, how does the Right Wing Extreme fix the problems facing our nation today? MORE tax cuts? How has that worked out?

If you want to intice a company to operate in your city or state how would you do that? This company would provide jobs for the community and maybe give back. This company may produce more welcoming visitors, which would shop more in your town. Would you not give them some kind of tax break?!

I would like to distance myself from the above poster Justin by stating that referring to one party as “extreme” while failing to recognize the gross ineptitude of the other is much like the pot calling the kettle black.
What don’t you understand? There are no outs. These poor people who’ve been duped into thinking “their” party has the answers…do you think those people really give a flying rats ass about you?? Nancy Pelosi would sell you into slavery for a botox shot if she could. Harry Reid, Barney Fwank and all those other “compassionate” folks who helped little Bush and Dick Cheney sell you guys out to the banksters along with the aid of Bill Clinton, the Global Agreement on Trade and Tariff which shipped your job away, Free Trade, Reagan’s deregulation, Gramm Leach Bliley Act…what a bunch of winners.
You claim one half of that group over the other, sir?
Lay off the kool-aid, it’s caused you to become an intellectual slacker.

For the record, I don’t think anything about our situation is worthy of being called “funny”.
I would like to know who is really behind this organization. Merely just a dead end outlet for people to vent and partake in petty partisan political debates?
As an oil trader focused on global macroeconomics I’ll be doing my best to bring what I view as “sensibility” to this forum. All worth precisely what you paid for it.

I must agree with justin. Both parties have acted completely irresponsible in regards to taxpayer money. The last 15 years have proven to be the continued bloat of a bureaucracy already unable to carry itself. This at the behest of both parties. Sad that the political parties have whored themselves to big business at our expense.

No, this organization is not correct. The corner we’re backed into leaves no option but to continue building massive deficits in the public sector to alleviate the massive contraction in the private sector, or else:
Sure, cut the deficits. And prepare to be vaporized by the largest economic mushroom cloud, ever. The expansion in public debt is the attempt to offset the CONTRACTION in private debt (which was artificially stimulated, encouraged and enabled by the public sector/govt anyways).
This organization is intentionally misleading people to think that this is an American problem. Problem is; the entire planet is dependent upon the Dollar debt feeder system. Starting in the early 1980′s we began offshoring the manufacturing base in exchange for becoming the “bank” of the world. When you understand that 65% of global financial transactions occur in USD then you can begin to picture what’s going on. Without dollars the rest of the world goes up in a fiery blaze too.
Can they “go off” the dollar feeder system? Hmm…not really. The USD is the world reserve currency and all oil taken to the global market is priced in USD. In other words, if you don’t have dollars you don’t get oil. Try running your economy without oil. Welcome to the stone ages.
What difference does it make? The US military, the German military and the UK energy ministry have all come out this year and said to begin expecting global oil shortages beginning in 2012. This is not 1971 where the US oil production peaked and began to fall rapidly only to be alleviated by cranking up production in Saudi Arabia and Mexico. The super giant oil fields are empty and to be found no more.

Right…you’re one of those guys who believes in decoupling.
While Europe decouples right into the Mediterranean Sea
LOL
I bet the Chinese are going to own us all,
just like the Japanese were going to back in the late 80′s
Two “lost decades” go by in Japan and morons like you are still left scratching your head.
