Just shut yer yap, leave me alone, and stop raising my blankety-blank taxes! http://www.thetowncrank.com/Home/tabid/153/BlogId/3/Default.aspx en-US steve-erbach@new.rr.com steve-erbach@new.rr.com Sat, 19 May 2012 14:45:02 GMT Sat, 19 May 2012 14:45:02 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss Blog RSS Generator Version 3.4.0.39853 <div style="text-align: left;"><h2>How far have we come in the past year?</h2> <p>(published 2-Nov-2009, Appleton Post-Crescent)</p> <p>Most folks that voted for "Hope and Change" were simply happy that a Democrat became President.  The fact that he's African-American is just icing on the cake.  It doesn't matter what he accomplishes; his most endearing feature is that he isn't George W. Bush.  But the government has horned in on the financial services industry, the automobile industry, and is trying its darnedest to horn in on the health insurance industry.  Some people aren't too happy that we're not out of Iraq or Afghanistan yet, unemployment still hovers near 10%, and inflation will kick in from the huge amounts of money pumped into the economy from government printing presses.  Looks like SSDD to me: Same Stuff, Different Day.  Dennis Miller put it very succinctly, as usual: it isn't that Emperor Obama is wearing NO clothes, it's that he's really wearing the same clothes as the last Emperor.</p></div> http://www.thetowncrank.com/Home/tabid/153/EntryID/298/Default.aspx steve-erbach@new.rr.com http://www.thetowncrank.com/Home/tabid/153/EntryID/298/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.thetowncrank.com/Default.aspx?tabid=153&EntryID=298 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:22:00 GMT 0 http://www.thetowncrank.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=298
