I know Bush takes a lot of flak for things he couldn't really control.  I don't think it would have mattered who was in office before Obama, that money was gonna be spent.  Obama has undoubtedly made a mess of things. But my point is that a lot of the people who are calling for Obama's head over exorbitant spending were just fine with spending insane amounts of money before he was in office.

We need an economist in the white house, not a good ol boy.  The  last good ol boy and his administration are responsible for the financial crisis we're in now.

I assume you are referring to Bill Clinton.

So you'd consider Slick a good ol boy?

And I suppose you were only going back to Bush? There is a whole lot of this mess that stems back to Slick Willy and somehow that just gets over looked. The biggest part of the housing bubble lays squarely on Clinton. Not that Bush did anything to stop the mess but when the Dem's. were questioned back in the late 90's they never answer  any of the oversight committees questions about freddie or fannie. Lending money was fun and our economy was growing fast enough that we never thought it would end.

WARREN BUFFET - PLEASE READ
TAKES 1 MINUTE

Warren Buffett,
in a recent interview with CNBC,
offers an interesting plan regarding the debt ceiling


"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.

Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2012


1. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6.. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.


------------------------


Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term (s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.

Don't you think it's time?
THIS IS A WAY TO BEGIN THE PROCESS
If you agree, pass it on.

If not, delete.

You are one of my 20+ -

Please keep it going, and thanks.
