She's right. The 2010 election year was a mandate to cut the deficit-government spending and the size of government. And we all should be holding our elected officials feet to the fire. The only ones that voted against JUST cutting 38 billion out of the budget were Michelle Bachman and several other freshmen congressmen who wanted much more. The GOP capitulated to go along to get along with big liberal spending policies. If they keep this up--they will lose Tea Party and conservative support.

Was it? I could more reasonably argue it was a mandate to do something meaningful about the economy and restore jobs... And it doesn't make sense to try that by giving more money to rich people so they'll make stuff when nobody has any money to buy anything.

The banks understand this, that's why they're sitting on the bailout money instead of loaning it out as it was hoped they would. They're not stupid, they deal in facts, not ideologies and the fact is that right now investing in ANY business is not a good idea, and it won't be until the government acts to restore the MARKET rather than the producers. The producers remain in fine shape and will, until finally gold ticks down and that bubble collapses. They'll probably ask that they get no taxes at all at that point to "save America".

Most Americans don't really understand the deficit as anything more than an abstraction, and deficit = bad, so the pubs and teapartiers can garner lots of support when they say "lets reduce it"...When these people are still out of work a year later, however, and the only thing Congress wants to do about it is cut off their unemployment and throw gramma into the street then they can understand that too. They've been fucked once again, and 2012 will be another year to fuck back.
