I agree, but we're still FAR better off.
I know that Democrats aren't going to radically change things, but I also know that I am old enough to gauge the eras when Democrats ran things against eras when the Republicans did, and the Dems are so far the lesser of two evils that only the redneck bastard child of an Exxon executive and an oil company lawyer could dispute it.
Many people that have problems with the Democrats base their dislike on taxes, and the perception that Dems always raise taxes, and always spend more tax money.
A GOD-damn lie.
Bush/Cheney spent a Billion dollars a month on a war since 2003 until just recently, AND EVERYONE WONDERS WHY THE ECONOMY IS SO FUCKED.
They spent us into a recession is why.
When Bill Clinton was president he balanced the deficit.
This is Historical Fact, not just my opinion.
I hear a lot of republicans whining down here in the south.....a lot.
The reality is, though, that they did it to themselves. They were too heavy-handed, and got drunk on the power, and now, there's a balancing coming.
Hopefully Obama's administration will prosecute as many of Bush's people as possible for as many things as possible.
