THEY SAY AMERICANS HAVE A SHORT MEMORY... LETS HOPE NOT

It is hard to forget who wants to maintain outrageous tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires and the wealthiest corporations in the history of mankind at the expense of our middle class and our seniors and the education of our children, all while peddling the lie that such tax breaks create jobs. They never have and they never will. It is hard to forget who said that goal #1 is to make Obama a one term president rather than moving the country forward.

What should not be forgotten is how we got here. It did not just happen and both parties are not equally at fault. Forgetting would only legitimize and whitewash the reckless Republican spending which is what got us into the mess we find ourselves in today. Namely; unconscionable, unfunded tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans, two unfunded wars one of which was unnecessary and implementation of an unfunded drug plan for Medicare recipients. That in a nutshell is Republican economics, more spending and less revenue and they have the nerve to rail against reckless spending. What is hard to forget is what phony hypocrites these people are.

So yes, spending needs to be cut, but before we cut a dime of spending on programs that support our seniors and the middle class, spending should be reduced on tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% among us.

What is not hard to forget is who has the best interests of the country at heart and who will do anything to regain the White House. The evidence is clear. Hopefully Americans have a long memory.
