[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 381345, member: 2189"] What I am is someone who signed into law a massive prescription drug federal program that people refuse to call it what it is and that is socialized medicine. It was a massive unfunded wealth transfer from hard working "future" taxpayers to the pharmacutical and medical industries. What I am is someone who took hard earned dollars from the private sector in the form of taxation and transferred that wealth to a gov't created quasi-private corporation for the sole purpose of subsidizing the housing and mortgage industry. Let's not mention the Wall Street firms who benefited either. What I am is someone who never uttered a peep as such out and out socialist economics. What I am is someone who took the ideas of Ted Kennedy and implemented them in the name of "No Child Left Behind" which in effect transfers the responsibility for child education further and futher away from parents and local officials and centralizes that power in Washington DC. What I am is someone who has encouraged a monetary policy that has weakened and devalued our currency to the point that the worse form of taxation called inflation takes over and becomes the mechanism to grow the economy in order to absorb the massive amount of debt runup created over the last 8 years. What I am is someone who took office 8 years ago with a total US Gov't Debt of over $5 bil and as of 2007' now has a debt of over $9 trillion. Let's not mention since 1980', nearly 30 years ago, I have controlled things all but 8 years and in that time national debt breeched the $1 trillion mark and at some point in the very near future should surpass $10 trillion. Watch in real time and hit refresh every second and watch it go UP! UP! UP! And thank [B]"What I Am"[/B] while you watch.
