Being Reasonable, or trying

WASHINGTON D.C., and the area right around it, has the highest per capita income level of any place in the united states, reveal new statistics. The people in second place, and thrid place, and fourth, aren't far behind, and the exact order changes frequently, but for now, the nation's capitol is the richest part of america. So waht, next year the leader might be new york, lr some place in california. according to our friend rush limbaugh, washington leads the pack because its the seat of gevernment, and government is where the money is, in this day and age of liberal big government. Honest to god, he really said that. What's even funnier, you can bet your sweet bippy that, by and large, america's conservatives agree with that nonsense, or pretend they do. Government, always the problem, liberalism, always the problem, obama, always the problem. Whatever it takes to demonize obama and the democrats, no matter how twisted. Prejudicial thinking in its purest form! Be assured, the wealthy folks in and around washington are, for the most part, trial lawyers, corporate lawyers, corporate executives, and not government employees.Just like anywhere else. Hell, if the republicans conservatives really believe that government is making people rich in washington D.C., why don't they like government? Don't they want people to be rich? Limbaugh further compared obama to herbert hoover, saying that we basically have a herbert hoover in the white house right now. By that Limbaugh presumably meant that obama is incompetant like hoover. If rush knew more history he would know that Hoover responded to economic collapse by doing nothing, which got him run out of office. Obama responded to economic collapse by getting the government involved big time, and the economy stayed afloat, although it may have turned out even better had he done nothing, and he got reelected. The american people, evidently, prefer that their president try to do something when confronted by disaster. One can certainly understand that, unless one happens to be a conservative republican.
