Have Democrats gone crazy with Americans money? The answer to this question has to be what money? Prior to Democrats taking office,  the country was in a major deficit.  We should look back even further. When Bill Clinton left office we had a surplus.  Once George Bush left office we had a major deficit.

This leads me to a major question. If the Republicans left us with a major deficit and they didn't help any Americans, what happened to that money?  Why aren't we asking this question? Granted I am no mathematician, but if there was a surplus and then there was a deficit yet no spending, who received that money?

We spend so much time attacking Barack Obama for wanting to help Americans. He wants banks to be held accountable for bailout money.  This angers must Republicans who think that all the government should do is protect their assets.  Yet when a country practically goes bankrupt without helping anyone, we just say no spending.

We should be fair and look at this from a Republican viewpoint.  Republicans held the office for eight years and drove us into a deficit.  We should forget those eight years and go back to doing things that way.  We keep hearing about robbing the future generations according to the Republicans. Here is a question to Republicans. aren't your tax cuts, which is money you aren’t putting towards the future generation hurting the future as well?

How about we get rid of your tax cuts.  Once those are gone then you talk about spending.  As of right now the middle class and poor are footing most of the taxes. If Democrats want to use our money to help us, I say we should voice our opinions.  Until you get rid of your major tax cuts, don't worry about what's happening to our money.

We should also keep in mind how Democrats are attempting to spend the money.  They aren't having parties with this money.  They are attempting to fix health care.  What is the problem with all Americans being able to visit a doctor.  Republicans agreed that health care needs to be fixed. However, they don't want anything done with it.  We could be wrong, but they did have eight years to fix it correct? Obama is also spending money by extending unemployment benefits.  We should probably make unemployed Americans starve.

Democrats don’t have any of Americas money to spend.  This doesn’t mean that government shuts down.  This also doesn’t mean that people that need help should just suffer.  If we are worried about anyone spending Americans money we need to go back to Republicans to find out, what happened to the surplus that they went through.
