That's exactly right, Baraka. By and large, the Democrats have historically been seen as the party that is more responsible regarding domestic issues (which includes the economy), while Republicans are the party more trusted on foreign policy issues. These are, in fact, crazy times, but not without precedent. Just like businesses spend money to earn more in return, that's what the philosophy is behind some of the proposed government spending as well. (Increased unemployment benefits will enter back into the economy at a rate of nearly 100%, while tax breaks for the rich are much more likely to be held onto or invested for further personal gain.)
It's a shame "I live here" doesn't actually work to change the facts. (By the way, I live here too and disagree with you, further proving that that argument is bullshit. I guess the world isn't as black and white as you'd like to see it.)
