I consider myself a pretty intelligent person, but for the
life of me I don’t understand how it is possible for any intelligent person to
think that by returning to policies that were instigated in 2000 by George Bush
and with which we lived for 8 years; that gave us two wars (unpaid for, BTW);
unequaled and unrestricted spending while reducing taxes and therefore reducing
revenues to pay for everything; that brought the country to it’s economic knees
by fostering an environment of non-regulation resulting in debt that is only
now being fully realized;
will somehow be better than:
a reversal of the downward spiral in unemployment caused by
those policies; a steady creation of jobs (albeit not as robust as we all would
like); the salvaging of the automobile industry and the agreement by all major
auto companies to increase average mileage to over 54mpg by 2025 and thereby
reduce our dependence on foreign oil; the relentless pursuit of terrorists and
the bringing to justice or killing of most of the bad guys; the passage of a
health care law that will for the first time provide coverage for people with
pre-existing conditions as well as create insurance options for 45 million
people who currently aren’t insured under the old system; an administration
that has reduced spending more than any of the last 50 years.
What am I missing? Is
the populace so misguided and susceptible to fallacious arguments and misrepresentations?
Or are they just dumb people with no memory?
