大選一下子就過了。奧巴馬勝了332票，媒體和選民都一下子沒適應，怎麽結果出的這麽快？贏的這麽多？ 大選前，Nate Silver的統計模型預告奧巴馬會贏三百多票， 會贏北卡以外的所有搖擺州（http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com），當時媒體都不相信，共和黨競選班子更不相信。他們有內部消息，有自己的選民測抽查統計。Romney的認輸演講是在Ohio州的projection出來一個半小時之後的開始的。 瀏覽文學城，支持Obama和Romney的華人呼聲不相上下，讓人很難想象支持Obama的亞裔有74％之高。多數挺羅的華人把矛頭指向他們所稱的“懶人”。讓人困惑的是在政府花的錢裏究竟有多少資金流向這一小撮“懶人”了，有多少被“勤勞”的人從國防費用中撈走了。 人類社會裏，大概總有5％的人或懶，或傻，或無能，或病。。。而長期不能自理。象美國這樣的一個富饒先進的國家，社會的理念已不能接受讓他們自生自滅了。不願為這些人付稅的人，可以考慮移民他鄉，因為大多數美國人是不能接受讓人餓死的態度的。更別說還有另5％－10％的人隻是暫時的缺少錢花，包括失業的，不拿父母錢的大學生。。。等等。任何一個象樣的個社會都應該會給這些人出路的。在美國那些抱怨“懶人”的人，是不會跟那些“懶人”交換位置的。我在美國生活了三十多年，從來沒看到願意做領救濟金窮人一員的（並不是一定沒有，而是很少很少）。生活好好的去領救濟是有的，這些人多半的都很“勤勞”，千方百計的撈好出。這些人也不多。 Florida這次是兩黨勝負最接近的州。我看了統計，40％的高收入家庭（2011年收250，000刀以上）支持Obama，59％的Romney。所以，這場選舉並不是窮人富人之爭，而是選民們選擇了他們認為對國家，社會，和個人有利的總統。 很多共和黨人開始分析這個那樣的原因導致了競選失敗。希望他們會反省，找出原因和出路。這本不是我的事，不過借花獻佛地送一句話—— Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts (Daniel Patrick Moynihan).

I am a fiscally conservative too! I like a balanced approach to the problem though because a sudden drastic cut of spending will trigger a economic recession which will in turn, worsen the situation. That is why we need a Republican party that can be reasoned with... I do not want to see a one party White House, Congress and Senate at all...

The USA national debt is about $16,158,000,000,000 (It goes up faster than anyone can track in real time) This is unsustainable.
We must reject the notion of running a country on increasing debt. We are putting future generations into debt for our current needs, without any remorse on Washington's part.
Eventually the people lending us money will become concerned about our long-term viability, and at that point they will not lend us any more money.
When that happens, if the government is still unwilling to live within their means, the Treasury WILL start PRINTING MONEY to cover our spending habit.
The unfettered printing of money leads to the devaluation of that currency, which will lead to a worthless dollar and enormous inflation.
When this happens, and it will unless we become fiscally conservative, the United States is DOOMED.

I think that you misunderstood what I meant. The White House's blueprint is just a starting point for negotiation. And that is why a reasonable Republican party is very important for balance of power. The White House's blueprint is not expected to pass as soon as it is proposed. The negotiating process turned to an ugly partisan fight which nearly ruined America's good credit. Also, if anyone ever lived in Communist China, you got be kidding saying that Obama is a Marxist.

Bornfree, why was obama's budget voted down 97-0? Looks like even democrats know he is a Marxist.
A budget resolution based on President Obama’s 2013 budget failed to get any votes in the Senate .
In a 99-0 vote, all of the senators present rejected the president’s blueprint. It’s the second year in a row the Senate has voted down Obama’s budget.
Obama's 2012 budget failed 97 to 0 last May after Obama himself last April said he wanted deeper deficit cuts.
The House earlier this year unanimously rejected Obama's budget.

回複cu29的評論: Having some level of debts is not necessary a bad thing as long as you have perfect credit. The fundamentals of the US economy is sound. The debt crisis here is largely self inflected. I think the reason that Republicans lost the election is that the Republicans really turned American voters off during last year's budget and debt ceiling fight between the Congress and the White House. What the voters saw then is a Republican party hijacked by the Tea Partiers, unwilling to comprise anything even it means to put America in harm's way.

It is easier to get your business back on track if you don't get a trillion dollar loan to pay back. If you can't pay your bills already and you take out a loan to purchase something, How are you going to pay your bills and make the payments on your loan too? Our government can't even figure this out.
