..... and as I sit here, I am having flashbacks to the bumper stickers in Texas during the Sixties!
“Please Lord just give us one more oil boom, and this time we won’t screw it up.”
Then I get to thinking about the Contract with America, how the GOP swept into both houses of congress in 1994 ---- They slowed down Bubba Clinton's liberal juggernaut and set the tone for the 90's. But then they soon lost their way -- began to think that 'Earmarks' were personal perks, began to spend money while not raising taxes to pay for those expenses ... made all sorts of legislative and personal mistakes........... and in general blew it!!
The good citizens of this country threw them out and returned control of congress to the Dims just five years ago ---- and now we are $5,000,000,000,000 (5 Trillion bucks) deeper in debt than we were when Pelosi & Reid took over ......... and make no mistake, the POTUS can't spend a damned dime that the Congress doesn't appropriate and authorize!
So I hope that when the new born again GOP conservatives show up to be seated in the 112th Congress next January 3rd --- that they all have Bumper Stickers on their office doors:
"Thank You Lord, you gave us one more chance, and we promise not to screw it up this time!!"
