AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Our country is in serious trouble. Under George Bush and the Republicans we not only lost our leadership as the moral standard-bearer of the world, we now risk losing our leadership as the financial bedrock of the world. People no longer have confidence in America. And all of the republicans’ flag-waving and “we’re number one!” slogans have done nothing to fix some very serious problems that they’ve caused and ignored. We can’t go on like this. Pretending that we’re winning in Iraq, pretending that we don’t have a health care crisis, pretending that global warming doesn’t exist, pretending that massive federal budget deficits don’t matter because lowering taxes supposedly makes money (even though Reagan and Bush have now both broken the budget by lowering taxes). We can’t keep pretending that everything is okay when it’s not, simply because the Republicans are afraid to admit that they’ve royally screwed up our country.

Pretty much sums up the last seven years….
