Pally, I'm going to step over there and knock you out! I'm originally from Chicago - Pally is a term of endearment - get over it.
After screaming at the TV machine, raising my blood pressure watching Micheal Steele interrupt Ed Schultz last night on the Bill Maher show it made me wish that one time, just one time a liberal would react to these jackass conservatives as I stated above. I know, I know, the main stream media, Fox News in particular would be repeating the meme of what meanies we liberals are. But, one time I would like to feel that momentary satisfaction.
However, after calming down and thinking it through I realized.........
That these Republicans really have their talking points down and they stick to it no matter what. Spending bad. We don't have a revenue problem we have a spending problem. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!
Also their talking points are intended to make us upset, because then we stop thinking. As I thought about it, I remembered a previous diary about our two deficits, monetary and infrastructure.(I apologize to the author - I did a search to no avail - will update with link if found).
Investing in infrastructure is important because it creates jobs. Be warned, as soon as we mention investment Republicans are going to counter with investment is nothing but code for more spending - so what! Investment creates jobs! Repeat, Repeat Repeat!
When we invest in education we create future entrepreneurs, researchers, a high skilled workforce and of course those evil, neer-do-wells, teachers(teachers should be paid well and treated as the professionals that they are, but that's another diary).
- Investing in road/bridge building and repair creates jobs.
- Investing in building a 21st Century Electric Grid creates jobs.
- Investing in High Speed and Light Rail creates jobs.
- Investing in the building of schools creates jobs
- Investing in America creates jobs!
Investing in America creates jobs, Invest,Invest! Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!
