Granted, Shrub was no peach, but have some sense of perspective!

Given the current mess in Washington, how long are we going to put up

Amen. I'm still waiting for the supposed Great Cull to start.
Surely, a second American Revolution is brewing, but the inertia is
amazingly strong. Some day soon, once Americans realize the scam
Obama and the others have pulled on them (how can waivers even be
-considered- when he's mandating health insurance on everyone?), all
hell's going to break loose. I just hope it starts with someone other
than Obama, so there isn't a global race war coming out of it, too.


OTOH, I recently read an article on Tom Paine. Seems that after the war
Washington and Morris (the equivalent of treasury secretary) hired Paine
to write articles praising federal taxes. Seems they had to "open the
peoples purses" (Morris) to pay off the bankers who had financed the war.

:/ Did you research its validity?


So before we got past our first president, we had fought a war with
borrowed money and taxed the poor to pay off the rich - sound familiar?

The more things change ...
