It would be interesting to overlay manufacturing revenue. When I was a kid, all the cheap crap said made in Japan on the bottom. For a long time now it's been China.

Unfortunately, it's all about re-election, and everyone knows it's easier to get re-elected when you're promising goodies to people. It's one of the reasons that the argument for term-limits is strong; if these douches could only be there so long, do what's right, and then have to get out, we'd see alot more right getting done. But so long as their MO is what-does-it-take-to-get-re-elected, this will continue to be a problem. I wish 'my' side was better about it, but they're just as bad. At least my side does one half of the equation properly, the lower taxes part. But we need the other, HARD part, lowering expenditures. And that will never happen so long as people have to fight to get re-elected. We need one-and-done political appointees. Get in, get done what you're voted in for, and leave. I hate term-limits in that you don't get to keep good people, but it's good that you get the bad ones out. We can't continue on this path to financial slavery, but until we get people in that will make the necessary, hard changes in, and get the old guard out, we're going down the crapper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quitting your job when you have bills to pay. Taking a pay cut and buying a Mercedes. If anything, what the Rs do is worse than what the Ds do. At least the Ds spend more AND raise your taxes. That strategy is f*cked too but it's not as long term f*cked as spending more and raising less. The Rs are pathetic on finances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
