Americans for Prosperity, the political arm of the network backed by the conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch, described the recent spending from Trump and Congress "a far cry from the so-called fiscal responsibility Americans heard on the campaign trail."That's what

Others point to how the economy started turning around at the same time the stimulus package was signed into law as proof of its success but that reveals an abysmally poor understanding of things. In reality, this is evidence that the economy was turning around before the stimulus package not as a result of it since the money hadn't been allocated, nor spent much less had time to take effect. For instance, on the "shovel-ready" jobs that were hyped so much the states first had to advertise the project to allow contractors to submit bids, then the bids had to be reviewed and contracts had to be signed and finally they often needed to wait for federal approval from this or that department or agency after that.
Obama proclaimed that the stimulus would "immediately jumpstart job creation" with "shovel-ready" projects to rebuild "our crumbling infrastructure" but later he would admit, and laugh, that in reality there just weren't enough "shovel-ready jobs" out there even though the money was poured like water into them. It became increasingly obvious that what "shovel-ready" really meant was ready for politicians to pose with a shovel for a photo op.
Forbes magazine cited one example of just how wasteful the spending was that is eye-opening.

Obama no better than Bush etc etc. The only one that met the goal of spending less than was taken in since Nixon was Bill Clinton. The problems are intrinsic to both parties, they just have different things they want to buy with the money. The idea that the problem can be blamed on the 'other party' is in many ways a significant contributor to the problem - which is a lack of commitment to the county as a whole over the immediate needs or wants of the current power base.

The 9% is not a surprise. But before folks crow about the "Republicans being right," let's see how sustainable it is, and let's see data as to where the increases are coming from. Meanwhile, the deficit IS actually increasing - and at a time when the economy is healthy and growing. The GOP controls all three branches of the federal government. "It's the Democrat's fault" is more than a bit of a stretch.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Nolte: NBC News Hid Information that Would Have Cleared Kavanaugh of Avenatti Rape Allegations
I know.... Breitbart!!!!!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

A man that I grew up in church with and who is now a pastor reported that one of his seminary professors was Kavanaugh's suitemate in college and was aware of a rape allegation against him at the time. That's the one thing I've heard that has actually given me pause on the specific allegations, since I trust this man's judgment. However, it must have been secondhand knowledge; else presumably he would have been available to testify if he knew anything firsthand, so it's definitely not a slam dunk."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
