The country is being buried under a mountain of debt. We're at war. We're trying to rebuild one of America's major cities and a region devastated by Hurricane Katrina. We're in a gas crisis that requires a massive investment in alternative fuels and an investment in existing infrastructure. Senior citizens are being herded into a Medicare prescription drnnnug programs they don't understand and don't like that comes with a $500 billion price tag and no source of funding.

And the Republicans cut taxes. Again.

Most Americans will see a cut in their taxes of about $20. But people making over $150,000 a year will see cuts in the five figures.

Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress keep trying to tell us that everything is GREAT! and GETTING BETTER! because of the tax cuts.
