I think the president's speech was great... and the second part of the speech (as speech of its own) on Iraq even better. But of course Bush haters and radical left liberals hate that kind of speech.
I also agree that the response from the goverment of Washington state was pretty eloquent... but with some deciet on his words and going back to the old democrat retoric.
-> The top 1% of earners in America get more money back than the bottom 95% COMBINED?!?! YEAH, that's in favor of the average American
DUH!! of course... If the 1% pay MORE TAXES of course they will benefit more... they SHOULD get more OF THEIR hard earned money back...
-> And WTF kind of person is BEHIND removing taxes on stocks DIVIDENDS?!?! This is so unreal, it isn't even funny.
If taxes are payed on the gains of the corporation... why do stock holders have to pay taxes over that money again?
under Clinton's White House, the gov't DID actually run a budget surplus
Yes... thanks to the administration before him that put things in motion... then he had 8 years to literally screw things up... including cuts on our military.
It takes YEARS for an economy to flourish... and when the worse administration in U.S. history (Clinton's) left the White house... it'll take some years to get it back to normal again... But I guess you'll come back and say that thanks to AL Gore's invention of the internet we were on a surplus under Clinton.
