My boss and I have had a number of political discussions over the years. He is a staunch Republican and screamed about government's involvement in any aspect of his life, until yesterday.

Veterans groups are angry after President Obama told them Monday that he is still considering a proposal to have treatment for service-connected injuries charged to veterans' private insurance plans

Why indeed ??

America is being sold piece by piece. Much of our Federal and State infrastructure is now owned by foreign governments and multi-national corporations so that they can turn around and make a profit off of Americans using them. America has become little more than a flea market for the rest of the world, who are awash with American dollars because of the "unregulated" free-trade policies of the Republican party.

Below the fold are excerpts from an Article written by Thom Hartmann in 2006. I was going to write a diary myself on this subject, but found this article that says it better than I ever could. If you get a chance please read it. The link is below the fold. I completely agree with this well written article and his sentiments.

Mitt Romney posted an op-ed piece in the NY Times today with the title of this diary. It is very interesting reading. I agree with it to a point. I agree that Detroit has been screwing themselves for years at the expense of the American people and the future of the American auto industry. They have gotten themselves into the mess they are in and the American public should NOT have to pay for their screw ups. In a perfect world I would agree with Mitt and just let them go belly up, but I can't.

Not everyone, who had so much to gain from an Obama victory, voted for him. I am continually amazed at the the middle and lower-middle class folks I know and meet who always vote Republican.

Standing in line to pay for a fill up this morning, I made a comment that prices haven't been this low in awhile ($3.36 / gallon). A rather red-neck looking guy immediately said, "well Obama will drive the prices back up to $6 / gallon". He then began lambasting Obama and Democrats in general for what he believed "he" would do to screw our country. His final, rather loud, comment was the title of this diary, in reference to what Obama will do to Americans now that he is in office. He then got into his beat up pickup and drove off.

Below the fold I will explore why some people feel this way.

Yesterday I received an email, which was suppose to be funny. It implied that Obama wants to take your hard earned money and give it away. The following is the email, my response to him and all those on the cc list, a return email from a wingnut coworker, and my final response to him.

How far from the truth is this asshole?

I've been watching the National Debt Clock for over a year. As the year has progressed a few interesting things have happened.

I just got a flash from CNN saying the Wall Street "Bail Out Bill" passed. I have no idea whether that is good or bad. On one hand, the thought of our government adding $850 Billion to our national debt of $10 Trillion in one fell swoop scares the hell out of me, BUT the thought of our entire economy seizing up, throwing us into a depression, because no one can get short term loans for payrolls, scares me more.

In case you doubt that can happen, go below the fold:

In the past week I have heard numerious reports from the MSM about the economic problems we have ahead. This is my 5th, 6h...10th reposting of the diary below on the subject. The diary is not that important...the message is:

==========

There is an 800 pound gorilla in our economic room and everyone acts like he doesn't exist. Everyone is worried about a recession, but that is just a bump in the road compared to the real problem with our economy. There is a much worse problem in our near future. Bush’s "shop till you drop" policy and the republicans lackadaisical attitude about borrowing money from our grandkids and foreign countries has exacerbated a problem that has been festering since the 1950's. Our country is now in grave peril. Plainly stated: we as a nation, are going bankrupt. We are spiraling downward to become a 3rd world country within the next 40 years and our politicians are to scared to talk about it.

Republicans have successfully equated "Tax and Spend" and the "Democratic Party" for as long as I can remember. They have been extremely successful in throwing out this phrase to scare tax payers into believing that Democrats want to take their hard earned money and squander it on things that the Republicans feel are unnecessary. Every time a Republican is running for office, or just talking about Democrats in general, the term is used as an insult, without a rebuttal from Democrats.

Below the fold is my rebuttal:
