For the past few years, I’ve been promoting Democrats in this blog because I believe that their policies are the best for our country. I’ve been trying to inform people about the lies spread by Republicans and the damage they’ve done to our country. Our country is in decline due to Republican policies. We’re deep in debt due to the reckless tax cuts. We’ve been involved in two unnecessary wars and occupations at a cost of three trillion dollars due to Republican policies. Many of our good jobs have been outsourced to other countries due to conservative policies. And the Republicans have blocked all efforts to bring some of those jobs back.
The Democrats passed a stimulus bill that many economists believe kept us out of another depression. One third of that bill was tax cuts. The rest came to less than $200 billion a year for five years to improve our infrastructure, save the jobs of many teachers, and to provide loans to small businesses. The Democrats passed mild reform for the financial sector and the credit card industry.
Yet the Democrats haven’t touted their accomplishments at all. They actually ran from them. They haven’t done much to get the word out about the lies. They should have gained seats this past election, not lost them.
And so, why bother. This country is going to hell in a handbasket and blogging about it is a waste of time. I have better things to do. Maybe I’ll take it up again for the 2012 election.
Adios, amigos!
