The GOP are Stoned

Republicans on Capitol Hill think they’ve finally found Obama's Achilles' heel. The national debt. In the near future you will hear the Rethuglican party harping about how much debt the country is in. For some reason they don't remember Dick Cheney claiming, "deficits don't matter". They don't remember that George W. Bush passed 1.3 trillion dollars of that debt onto the new administration. They don't remember that were fighting two wars, while trying to lift the country out of the worst downturn since the Great Depression. All that's water under the bridge for the Rethuglicans.

If you look at polling being done these days, you will consistently see that around 68 percent of the American people support the Obama administration on 95% of their initiatives. You will also find that around 25 to 32 percent of the polled will disagree with Obama on EVERYTHING. These to me are the Sarah Palin voters, the hard right that think Pres. Obama can do no right. It is what it is.

These people were silent as a church mice when GWB and Cheney were dragging the American people into wars and ruining the economy, but now, when Obama is trying to make the hard decisions to right America's ship they are moaning about how America has all of sudden acquired all of this debt. and we want the books balanced- now.

Yesterday, President Obama announced a initiative to Congress to adopt a 'Pay As You Go System', meaning that for every dollar the Govt. or Congress spends they need to cut a dollar somewhere else in the budget. This is the way it was done during the Clinton Era, adopting this strategy led to America racking up budget surplus's and retiring most of our National Debt. I personally think it's a great strategy that should bare fruit soon. But lets see if the dumb m'asses' can get behind him.

These days I'm really into stone, boulders, slate chips in the landscape. They are a beautiful addition to a landscape that add a sense of grandness and richness to a homeowners or businesses landscape. Here at our home we have boulders, stack stone, and slate slabs in our landscape, and I want more. It's not cheap though, the people who sell this stuff , know they have something that usually more affluent customers want and they price accordingly. If your dong a landscape project at your home and you want to take it to the next level. I always suggest to my customers; drop some stones on it.
