    Some on the extreme right were expecting the rapture.
    The end of the world, but it didn't happen.
    Republicans blamed Obama.

    They are really good at that. They burn the house down and when the cops show up, hand the matches over to the Democrat. His fault officer.

    It just keeps getting better and better. So it's republicans that made these giant government entitlement programs that we can't pay for all by themselves. Another trillion dollar entitlement fixing to start in 2012. I guess republicans did that too?

    Once again, were you in a coma from 2000-2008? And why is it just entitlements that are bankrupting us? Why not wars, and massive tax breaks, and a bloated defense budget, and out of control spending on the war on drugs?

    47% of Americans pay no taxes at all along with high paying jobs going overseas to add to that list.

    The real problem is people think short term and nobody wants to give up getting THEIR checks from the Govt. What happens when you keep getting your check but it won't buy anything because the value of the dollar is worthless?
