Deeply. I see no reason to cut social spending. it’s already pitiful compared to other civilized nations. (Overlooking the fact that our health care is so embarrassingly expensive.)

Conservatives both used 9/11 and the financial meltdown to pound out the idea that black is white, and we have paid, are paying, and will pay dearly for it. American idiocy continues. Four years after the republican party systematically shredded America, and after the fall of the tremendously unpopular Bush Administration (Gee, he’s not mentioned too much, is he?) The GOP wants your permission to continue shredding. How stupid do you have to be to give them the keys?
