"Atrocious public policy"
by genedio
and from Democrats, no less. Gee, thanks for agreeing, Leroy. I guess one either intuitively gets it or one doesn't. When Ronald Reagan started borrowing $200 billion every year to create his phony prosperity, instinctively I recoiled and called it unsustainable--and unfair to boot. That is exactly what I think of what Team Obama has been doing. Perhaps it is not coincidental that Obama referred to Reagan as a "great president"? Now we have the Democratic majority in the senate extending and expanding a popular program--which to the average American eye has only winners and no losers. This is not the Democratic Party I signed up for nearly 40 years ago. That party had at least some fiscal discipline and did not choose to aid the already well off. I will join the largest political party: the Independents, for what it's worth. I've witnessed too much corruption with the Dems. Kucinich, Kaptur, and Grayson don't represent the party and even they are today likely to sign onto pandering bills like this one.
