    Believe it, or not. At least 50 % of our Country population save a mental disorder. And it`s easy to prove. Ther is a book by Michael Savage titled:-" liberalism is a mental disorder?
    The prove is there. I could prove it myself, but he does it better.
    Why only four NO votes here? Simple. Liberals do not listen to conservstive TV, to Gretta.

    With all do respect, Gretta. What`s the point in yours or all other polls?
    When was the last time professional,rotten Washindton KLAN politicians
    paid attention to WE THE PEOPLE? And they WILL NOT, antil the
    TERM LIMITS amendment to the Constitution of the USA will be addapted.

    It depends on your intentions. If your intentions are to crash the economy so that gov't has be the caretaker of all the citizens then, nope- there's absolutely no problem. I'd say the Senate Dems and the President are right on track with their agenda. Americans were idiots for even giving dems or rhino Repubs 1 election seat win. STOP THE SPENDING!!!!!!!!!! Now, we hear Obama dissasembled his "jobs panel?" SHOCKER!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing more shocking would be if he actually went to the meetings and implemented what they recommended.

    I can not believe there are 12 No votes. Are you blind?? If you spend more than you are taking in don't you think you may have a spending problem and need to spend less. Please explain your thinking i am trying to understand those who think the answer is No.

    Big spending didn't start with this administration or this congress. President Dwight D. Eisenhower put a finger on it, he said that big business, big government and big military, ie. the 'Military Industrial Complex', was a bad combination. It created what the pols have come to think they can't live without - lobbyists who make them rich, if they vote for the right spending.
    hat a shame that conservatives couldn't even get the so called "Sandy Relief" bill passed without attaching 2/3 of the price going to unrelated projects.

    What type of example is the nation setting for the public. That it is ok to ignore financial obligations? That it is ok to spend beyond your means? Horrible role model for the general public! When you only make minimum wage while paying for college...you eat romen noodles. America needs to eat a few packages of romen noodles...it may hurt...but bankruptcy will hurt much worse...

    I have a 7 year old grandson who I love deeply. On accossion when we go to the Dairy Queen .. I tell him when we go he has to have enough money to pay for it. If he does not have the correct change he cannot have the ice cresm. This has happened only once. When he didn't have the correct moneyhe knows after not getting the cone the first time now and he doesn't expect it. Of course grandpa has purchased many since his training session. Perhaps we need a number of 7 year olds running the white house and the legislative branches of our federal government!

    The Obama Administration needs to take a Dave Ramsey course! Maybe they then would decide or learn on how to make a budget! Reality check, there is a massive spending problem! Sad thing is my grand kids will be paying for the lack of leadership.

    What the country desperatly needs is a true statesman to lead it so we can at long last have a qualified person in the White House capable of putting personal interests aside so the warring factions can be brought together. A house divided cannot stand. Failed policies tried again and again are the domain of the insane. We must put politics aside and pray for our leaders to restore common sense and virtue to our government starting at the White House.

    In my humble opinion, we have never had a president who is more juvenile when wisdom is called for. Listening to him is like being at a never-ending pep rally for the king with no clothes.

    Are those 4 NO votes from Obama, Jay, Nancy and Harry? No other explanation!

  • Lillian P. - 11 years ago

    It is insane to continue to spend more as a country than we bring in . It is also unreasonable to expect that the "few" will be able to support the "many". If I rented an apartment & the landlord kept raising the rent, I would start looking fo a new place to live. Why do the "Rich" need to passively sit back & accept higher taxes? Most did not get to be high earners by being passive.

    Absolutely way too much spending. I am on medicare entitlment prgra, after chronic lupus and diabetes got so out of contor. Not making excueses. Paid my taxes for nearly 43 years, rather still be working. But with excessive spending continue to grow, may not receive for long.

  • SHIRLEY - 11 years ago

    obama should be impeached immediately, nancy, harry, jay, along with several others
    should be fired on the s pot.

  • M. R. Browne - 11 years ago

    It is obvious we have a spending problem. Wehave regulators regulating the regulations. And, in most cases the regulators have no idea,know knowlege, and no understanding of the programs they are appointented to regulate. The problem is massive.

  • Jim - 11 years ago

    Obama's too smart to not know what he's doing, therefore he is purposely bankrupting our country. It is treasonous!

  • shirley - 11 years ago

  • Mark - 11 years ago

    Obama should be impeached

  • Tom Detelich - 11 years ago

    Greta, come on! Is this really a controversial question? Only someone with political motives or the naive could answer "no". Help us all if anyone in power would have the same answer.
