Given Tuesday's GOP election wins, reports of the death of the GOP are greatly exaggerated. Akin to years ago, when the Democrats were declared dead after the GOP swept Congress.
Last night's results suggest the obvious: Since they took over in January, Dems haven't done squat except double down on George Bush's expensive bailout -- which isn't working. There will never be proof that it worked because there's no way to know what would have happened had there been no bailout. Some economists say the country would have been stronger after a natural recession followed by steady growth.
But it's the perfect Bush-Obama political ploy -- make assertions that cannot be verified.
Meanwhile, the overseers who helped wreck the economy -- Geithner, Bernanke, and others -- are still in charge. And the banks are healthy enough to finance big bonuses yet unemployment and housing are wrecked, not to mention a lot of Joe Sixpack lives.
If you're feeling screwed by the Bush-Obama recovery strategy, you might be on to something.
As Yakov Smirnoff says, "What-a-county!"
Here for health care reform: Do you have $10,000 to buy in. You might have to pony up.
And here for GOP.
