Post Election Stupidity

The new President is in the White House a week, well less than a week. I’ve been reading the blogs and the newspapers. I’ve been watching the news and political commentary shows. There was no honeymoon. Already the Republicans are complaining about everything in sight. “We’ve been shut out! They want to spend too much! We need more tax cuts, but don’t cut taxes for the poor coz they won’t be paying any taxes at all! It won’t work because we don’t want it to!”

I want to know what the hell they think less spending and more tax cuts (for the rich, presumably) are going to do. Haven’t they given their rich, greedy friends enough tax cuts? Haven’t they spent enough in Iraq to float ten countries out of the current quagmire? Are they so pissed at losing their seat at the big kids’ table that they’re willing to sink the country and the entire planet just to get even?

Apparently so.

One more question. No two.

First, if a person has lost their job, earning no money, how does a tax cut help them?

Second, when are the Democrats going to grow a backbone? The Republicans have come out of the box willing to piss on the world because they insist on having a hissy fit. They want all the toys and are will to hold everyone hostage to get them. The Democrats need to trample their sorry asses into the ground and leave them behind. They need to save this country, and by extension, the world. We can’t wait. We’re on life support and the electricity is going to be turned off very soon.
