Does it cost money to be socially progressive?
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
social progressive means that it is not productive to let a portion of our population go without health coverage
fiscal conservative means that i want the biggest bang for my tax extorted dollars, e.g., spending money administering food stamps and fraud detection when it would be cheaper to hand out mag stripe cards for certain food ingredients to anyone that wanted one - we pay farmers not to grow food and store surplus subsidized food rather than give it away to maintain prices
I pledge allegiance to the constitution of the United States of America as amended by the legislative and executive branches and interpreted by the Supreme Court
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

A couple things, LA made huge money on the Olympics while Greece lost a stimulus worth.
Who picked Chicago, did it have anything to do with it being BHO home.
Apparently the world and most Americans don't want to go to the windy murderous city.
The stone that the builder refused
Will always be the head corner stone
As you pointed out, hosting the Olympics is no guarantee of being "in-the-black" for everyone.
And I, for one, could have thought of better places than Chicago to host the Olympics. But then again, Brazil has some serious areas of historical poverty and crime, so how are they going to overcome that?
Of course, we can only speculate if it was a tie in to the current Presidency that influenced this choice....but my point is that it's pretty messed up as to how the neocons are cackling with glee that something associated with Obama didn't pan out while throwing their purported patriotism and nationalism out the window.
