$700B for Wall Street but we can't afford healthcare reform or alternative energy

[ramapo]

Now I'm mad as hell...

I watched McLame on 60 Minutes and he gets on about the "tax and spend" policies of Obama. He listed a few programs, one being healthcare at $150B, another being a real energy policy, all told I think Obama has about $400B-$500B of spending laid out. Of course, his plan is to find the money before spending it. These programs will benefit millions of Americans. There will be jobs, improved health care, and a chance to finally reduce our reliance on foreign countries for energy, to list just a few real benefits.

But no, these are unaffordable, according to John McCain. This is bad stuff...not what America wants. Too expensive.

But write a check to Wall Street for $700M to take care of a program caused in large part by the Republican Party? Sure...no problem.

Bullshit!

1. Not $700Million...$700Billion. Nothing but the best for the Republicans you know.

2. Exactly, plus the meme about how the private sector does a better job

...until their greed takes them down and then the taxpayers have to come to the rescue.

3. Republican rule=deficits

true in the 80s, true now. Force them to give examples & hope the Leaders of the Left carry laptops already loaded with debunking visuals. I would, especially after the last 7+ years & seeing the usual arguments being flung like monkey sh*t every predictable time.
