But hey lets give out trillion dollar tax cuts for everyone and start two wars and ramp up spending.That would be the conservative thing to do.

Umm, you realize your attempting to tie together the economy of ten years ago to the economy of today?

Do I have to educate you on this thread too?

First off, were it not for the two wars, this economy would be booming right now. During the Bush tax cut years companies expanded, jobs were created. The problem is, as you have said, two wars. (Although the wars themselves were not the issue as was how they were fought< but thats another thread).

Oh, and no one has "ramped up spending" more than Obama. Even liberal sources have admitted as much.

Now, we can complain about Medicare because Medicare is full of corruption. You see, it is the Dems that enjoy the special interest funding of pharmacutical companies, ambulance chasing trial lawyers, unions, and lets not forget universities. (I will explain the relationship between those and the high cost of healthcare if you don't get it)

Social security is a joke. Period.

The Obamer has done nothing in these two terms but ram his agenda through with a total lack of concern or care for anybody but himself. Executive orders, stalemates, etc. This is the beginnings of a dictatorship.

Eventually, if you ram enough policy changes through, the people will have no choice but to follow because you have taken them too far to turn around. The fiscal cliff is still there and we are still heading for it. We have averted absolutely nothing.
