8. The Republican Party has nothing to offer this nation
Wed May 9, 2012, 08:26 PM

They're like broken records touting an ideology that has broken the back of this nation - and they don't care.

If their economic policies worked - our nation would not face the problems it does now - the reality is they don't care about the problems - they care about hoarding for the Scrooge McDucks in this nation, to the exclusion of any other issue.

I WISH this nation could have an honest conversation about the economy and look at the impact of thirty-plus years of reaganomics.

Govt. investment in internet technology created the 90s boom that has continued into this decade - it wasn't because some fat fuck got a tax break - it was b/c our govt. had the foresight to invest in infrastructure via govt. programs in the military - the internet was picked up by PUBLICLY FUNDED academics, for the most part, who moved the use of this technology into the public sphere.

After the groundwork had already been done, private entities stepped in to pick the fruits that were planted by tax-led investments.

So, suck it, Republicans. You have nothing to offer.
