washingtonpost.com — Democrats have voted for politically costly initiatives at Obama's insistence, most notably health-care and climate change legislation. But faced with an electorate widely viewed as angry and hostile to incumbents, many are increasingly reluctant to take politically unpopular positions.

We need to separate school and state, especially now that (measured by spending) the state has effectively become a cult to most people.

Like they're not already making enough money from fat people too lazy to cook for themselves.

I stumbled across this with MSNBC and Alan Grayson as they reveal the moral hazard in our system. This is probably one of the few times the MSM lets the cat out of the bag.<a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwm0ESZJSRI" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwm0ESZJSRI</a>

Sorry but that statement is just way too generalized. If some jerk burns your house down you will have to rebuild it. Rebuilding it costs money. Sorry but we had 8 years of some jerk burning our house down. Obama is there trying his hardest to rebuild it. Sorry to have to tell you but that costs money. Don't believe the hype,.. "spending" is not always synonymous with being a bad thing. Sometimes spending is necessary.

FDR created the post-war German government with the Morgenthau Plan. You need to study U.S. history more carefully.

McCain actually has a strong record of voting against earmarks.

Right. It's to fuel more government waste. He should have called it "more for STIMULUS".
