If a group of doctors gave you so called treatment that made you gragely ill, would you listen them again?

Isn't fascinating how in american politics, we keep listening the same maniacs who advised us on policies to follow ..creating a huge mess, and then some maniacs have the audacity to come back to say that they have the solution to the very problems they helped create? and guess what they propose?....yup ...more of the same faith based voodoo proposals that got us into the mess in the first place.


Now, with 2 wars going on, record budget deficits.....these morons are still proposing cutting taxes. What we need is to have fiscal responsibility morons....cut wasteful spending, stop the bleeding of money over in iraq, and we need to give american business incentives to create jobs here in america for american workers...thats right we need to encourage investment of american dollars earned to be reinvested right here in the good old USA. it makes no sense to give a someone a tax cut if they take the money and open a factory in india or china or mexico.

A very simple rule of economics is to cut taxes. Now before you quit reading let me explain. I did take economics in college and my daughter is an economist. So I am not just blowing smoke.





I also live in Michigan with a governor who ignores what economist tell her and we have the highest unemployment in the country at 7.4% and it is going up to 8.5%





If you own a company and you are making a profit, and taxes are cut, you have the ability to not only expand, [put more money into your product, build another factory,etc.) but to increase wages and benefits for your employees.





The more employees you have the more taxes are paid to the government. Thus no one is hurt and more people are helped.





The other side of the coin is a company is in business to make a profit and it needs to be more than marginal due to the costs incurred. If you raise taxes, then something has to go. The first thing to save money is to lay people off, and have the others work harder. this cuts benefits too.





You end up not expanding and perhaps closing your company. If you have stock holders, everyday people like you and me who invest, they also lose.





Spending in the government needs to slow way down especially the bill congress just passed with some good parts, but the $2 million to build a monument to New York Congressman Charlie Rangel should not be there. And the sharply cut fund to New York police was unwarranted in the face of this, don't you agree?





This explanation is somewhat simplified, but you get the drift, right?

Talking and doing is something most of us do.Mostly talking.
it is very easy just talk it out loud, right??
Depends on the situation. Medical science is not an exact science, that's why the call it practicing. What are the unique details of the case? Why did the treatment not work as anticipated? What did the doctors do to remedy the situation?





But, your point is well taken.





There is not much evidence that the politicians are examining the reasons why their ';treatments'; are not producing the anticipated results. Nor do I see much evidence that they are taking steps to remedy the situation.





Had I been given treatments by doctors that refused to acknowledge that their treatment is not working, despite evidence to the contrary, I would most certainly seek out different doctors.
