>Americans love money, and growth, and power. hence the need for a business friendly budget.
business friendly? huh?
>Americans are terrified of the rest of the world, hence more insane defense spending.
speak for yourself, Americans have no experience of the rest of the world - its just too far away and you have to cross oceans.
>Americans make a lot of noise about the environment, but don't actually do anything about it, hence cutting spending on such projects.
my elementary school aged children recycle, pick up litter.
>So Americans, go look in the mirror and consider that this budget, as a nation, reflects you. Maybe not the individual you, but the group.
no. no it does not.. retired boomers maybe.
>And not just the right, or the left. Not just Dems or reps. This is how the whole world sees you all, as a nation.
this is partly true. this is now the world sees our government. but in my personal experience people believe in American democracy and ask, "how can the american people let their president do this?"
