- but why are they upset? because Obama is no different than Bush. That is not good news for the far right. Angry congress is asking Obama to be more liberal in his handling of the middle class economy.

- The angry congress members are actually asking Obama to be more liberal in his handling of the economy rather than the same old conservative voodoo economics and trickle down crap that has failed us.

- I fail to see how the economy is the fault of the President. Especially in the USA where the supposedly free market society abhors any type of government interference or ownership. If we lived in a very socialist country, then I could see how this is the government's fault. But we don't.

- Here's the bad news for the GOP in 23: 23 will be redistricted in 2010. It is surrounded by Democratic districts. That means, what is carved up in 2010 goes to Democratic districts.

The Government is not here to protect the people, that is your problem. The Government is here to serve the people, not for people to serve the Government.

President Obama is in office, we can no longer do anything about Bush. Look at what is happening now, not last year. Obama is a liar and a fool, stop trying to convince us otherwise

Well some of what you say is true and some is false. Social Security was created in the 1930's (during the Depression) not 40's. At the time American life was different. As their parents aged their children were expected to take care of them and the parents lived with them in their homes. Social Security was created to "supplement" the expense of taking care of one's parents. Then, after the Second World War, life in America changed drastically. The returning servicemen went to college, got married, and wanted to buy a home for their bride and expanding family. Plans did not include caring for mom and dad. Medicare came along much later when it was realized that with the aging population living longer, they were developing serious health problems that cost a lot of money. Cancer, Emphysema, and now Altzheimer's were nowhere near as prevalent as they are now. People died from them earlier back then.

And you are right about the public services; schools, parks, half-way houses, and shelters. There are so many more of them now and they all require funding. Our legislators began by looking at all the worthy purposes, but became blinded by the bribes and perks to which they all succumbed.
