Big thanks

Yesterday I saw a news article that stated that for this fiscal year ending in September, the federal government's tax revenues were at their lowest levels since 1932. Let's see, that's one year before the worst year of the Great Depression, right when Roosevelt was taking office.

You know, I just want to give a big shout out to the W. Truly, he has made our country so great. I mean, really, for years and years he continued to pledge to cut our taxes, and despite the cuts, my salary remained stagnant as healthcare insurance costs rose, and now we get to have a much leaner postal system, thanks to their bankruptcy, and the potential loss of more jobs due to the tax cuts over the past 8 years. Republicans argued that it would put more money into everyone's pockets, and spur the economy. Well, now our economy is barely creeping along, and with unemployment nearing 10%, those wonderful tax cuts are now bankrupting our country.

Now there is discussion of tax increases, but the White House is afraid to do it because of Obama's promise of no new taxes to the middle class. We know what happened when Bush Sr. promised that in 1992.

Thanks Mr. Bush. It sure was a good eight years.
