		<description>We need to vote, and we need to get active.  One cool thing I found is congress.org

You can put in you zip code and sign up for email that will tell you how your representatives vote on each issue, and then it has their contact information so you can contact them on issues.

Since they already have the database in place, I&#039;ve been pitching the suggestion to them, to also create web pages or blogs for candidates in a particular zip code so you can see who&#039;s running against your representatives if you don&#039;t like who that person has been voting.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s little doubt that running up massive deficits is a deliberate tactic to create public support for killing social programs (the &quot;starve the beast&quot; theory mentioned in other posts).  That&#039;s a big problem, but not as big as the one that Bush and his fellow starvation artists appear to be overlooking.

The whole point behind the starve the beast theory is that once the social programs are dead, we&#039;ll be able to turn the economy and the government around.  Given the record levels of consumer debt and the record levels of foreign trade deficits, that might well not be possible.  When you have record trade debt, record consumer debt, record government debt, falling real wages, and inflation in key areas (fuel, health care, housing), what do you get?  It isn&#039;t a healthy country--just ask the third world countries how much fun it is to slave under the World Bank and IMF masters.</description>

As long as somewhere down the line congress passes the Bush/Cheney tax. I envision a 98% tax on assets and earnings of these two people personally as well as their heirs. There should be some accountability for the actions of those who perpetrated this.</description>

		<description>Greenspan: Turns out we were all wrong.

Hillary Clinton: For the record, we were not all wrong.

Bush&#039;s economic plan -- and we&#039;ve been saying this and the hicks haven&#039;t been listening -- is short term gain for long term pain. He pumped pure sugar into the economy to make things look all rosy through election day, now we&#039;re seeing a bad case of diabetes. Of course if you increase your debt you&#039;ll be living the good life for a few years. Now, it&#039;s hard to even think about what that will cost us. Those soldiers in Iraq, when they get home they will be stuck paying for all their equipment, with interest, because we couldn&#039;t raise the money to pay for it now. Bush&#039;s supporters need to get out a history book and look up &quot;Fighting foreign wars with borrowed money&quot; and see how that worked out in the past.</description>
