How is that any different from the cost of goods and services going up 2-3x as much as it was under Clinton pre- 2001? Under Bush, the cost of everything has tripled, or at least it seems like it. It’s partly b/c of inflation, but also partly because of the war, and other corrupt behind the scenes oil war that is going on b/t the republicans and foreign nations.
Tax rebate is not that much for me… so I don’t care that much about it… maybe $700 bucks or so. I make 49k/yr, which isn’t really a lot these days, and I hardly buy anything, which includes next to NO groceries, and very rarely buy new clothes. Which is my selfish point of view.
Also, as a republican, you should not be looking for government hand-outs, and taxes are there to serve the public, to make living life better buy putting that money towards things we need as a nation.
The problem is that our tax money is often abused by the top 5% in government. So, maybe it’s time for payback, IMO.
I’m not totally against the republican conservative viewpoints, but the bottom line is I"m afraid of another 4+ years of Bush like tactics. I don’t think we can afford that, and that seemed like the way McCain was heading with his 90%+ agreements with Bush. I never liked Bush from the beginning, but liked his father as a President. I refused to call our current president, a president. So, I just call him BUSH.
And, NEWSFLASH, the war is not almost won like Palin seems to think. It will never end since we are screwing around with their religion, and they have been fighting since the beginning of time, it seems.
I’m also not for the war in Iraq, which the Republicans would have continued pumping trillions of dollars into the war, and it is never going to end. We are crippling our own country, but helping foreigners out with the high risk of ruining our own country. But, at the same time trying to inflict our catholic viewpoints on other religions… it’s not going to work, and the republicans don’t understand that.
Also, I’m almost laugh at savings… there is no such thing as a savings account for someone making the wage that I make. All of it goes to bills, and very little else. And, believe me, I don’t have many bills, or debts. And, I’m trying to improve myself through taking advantage of company paid grad. school. Which keep in mind, I could never afford out of pocket like Republicans think Money grows on trees, and you should never take out loans, or use Credit cards, even 0% credit cards. Republicans in government are just out of touch with the middle class, which is the blue collar working class of America.
