Did you even take a look at that site to see who's voted how? They ALL voted in favor of the rebate despite knowing full well that in the end we'll have to pay it back somehow. That or find some other way to pay down our debt to the Chinese (maybe start sending them women..?).  |
Pretty much, not raising taxes is pretty much the best thing these republicans got goin, if they don't live up to that then they will lose a huge amount of base. As for the Chinese, you know if we were to war all debts are waived..
but seriously, they could do well by cutting welfare and unnecessary social programs and fire the inept and often corrupt officials who govern them.
*edit*
And many lol's to your picture, Vi.
