Today’s economy has been blamed on the actions of the left. While they deserve a portion of the blame, both sides played equally into the current economic crisis.

This downward spiral was begun when we started two wars and the Republicans never gave a second thought to how they were going to fund them. They made a fateful decision not to include them in the budget so citizens didn't think they were overspending. After all, the Republican Party is a conservative group, and it wouldn’t look good if they were observed burning money.

For eight years the bills keep rolling in as the cost continued to climb until the point where the bills they pushed along are now long overdue.

Today the same group that was so eager to cover their spending has had to deal with it after all. How? First they decided to shift the blame and become the party of no tax and no spending. The liberals are to blame for the mass spending as they have been too wild and free with the taxpayers’ dollars.

Now we have to force the liberals to cut every program to the hilt and convince the public that this is the only way to dig the nation out. Taxing our way out won’t work - our masters have told us to say this. As the real facts start to slowly emerge the public is finally becoming aware that they have been deceived.

The jobs they were promised have not materialized. Instead they are fed hollow rhetoric about how more tax cuts for the upper tier will make those jobs appear. They have heard this before, and so far their plates are still empty - along with their savings accounts. They see the greed and "we want” but never "this is what we are going to do get people back to work".

We now have a proposal on the table that actually might help put people on a slow road to recovery, but even before the bill was even opened all we heard from congress was that they wouldn’t allow it without more “we want”. The people don’t want more of the blame game. They are tired of it. They want results. “They want “those elected to come to the table and sit down to work on creating a real solution!
