Our grandchildren deserve better

Posted in: Muscatine

We live in grim times, which is why you have to take your laughs where you can get them.

For example, in Washington, where Republican congresspeople keep talking about their concern for their grandchildren as an excuse for voting against…well, practically everything: economic stimulus packages, financial reform, immigration reform, etc.

They say they don't want to hang a huge debt around the necks of their poor grandchildren, thereby robbing the tikes of a future. What a laugh.

From TP's link's web site:

Who woulda thunk it?  Laughing

This is a cut and paste job from the article you referenced. These are not your words, TP.  So what is your opinion?  Are you agreeing with the author?  Do you care about the future of your grandchildren?  Do you honestly believe that spending trillions of dollars today will be good for your grandchildren's future?  Would you mind expatiating on how?  Or are you just trying to take a shot at republicans and stir the pot of political debate on this forum?  I am interested in your answers and views.  I am also quite confused about the author of this piece.  He seems to be against republicans but in the end is having problems with the Obama administration.  Another confused Democrat is all I get from the article.  Are you all like that?
