When hope and change are bad

by Amy Oliver | 9:04 am, May 26, 2010 | Comments Off

In video captured by Who Said You Said, Congresswoman Betsy Markey asks “since when did hope and change become a bad thing?”

I’ll answer that. When the national debt exploded and now is over $13 trillion, more than $42,000 for every man, woman and child in the United States. And if they have the nerve to be taxpayers, then their share of the debt is more than $117,000. Throw in ObamaCare, “stimulus,” nearly 10 percent unemployment, cash for clunkers, card check,  cap and tax and other reckless spending, and I can honestly say that under this Congress and the Obama administration, hope and change are horrible things.
