Chris Christie is dead on about Obama and the super committee

Christie rips Obama over deficit talks: 'What the hell are we paying you for?' - The Hill's Video

What exactly would Christie have him do? He holds absolutely no sway over Republicans. None. Their sole agenda is getting him out of office. They are not willing to talk to him at all. If this country were a business and these people were employees, they'd all be fired. Simple as that.

But we are not. And Obama did the exact right thing. Congress crafted this deal. He signed on to it..and allowed them to litigate the budget. They didn't come up with any solutions.

So the trigger goes into effect..and real cuts take place. The Bush tax cuts expire. And the deficit goes down.

Isn't that what Republicans wanted in the first place?

Consumer Confidence Spikes in November - TheStreet


The Conference Board's monthly consumer confidence index jumped to a reading of 56 for the month, up from a 40.9 reading in October and well ahead of economists expectations for a reading of 44.

"Confidence has bounded back to levels last seen during the summer (July 2011, 59.2)," said Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board's consumer research center. "Consumers' assessment of current conditions finally improved, after six month of steady declines....Consumers appear to be entering the holiday season in better spirits, though overall readings remain historically weak."

Be present in WASHINGTON instead of jetting all over the world and using our tax dollars to campaign in the swing states even though he denies it. Most American people are not stupid!

OUT OF OPTIONS, MORE FAMILIES LIVING IN THEIR CARS

As time passes and unemployment continues to hover at 9.1 per cent, benefit payments dry up and homeless shelters face constant capacity.

A 60 Minutes segment dedicated time to telling the stories of the growing group of Florida children who now live in their family's cars as they run out of options.

There are now 16 million children now living in poverty nationally, and one third of those children are in Florida.

Though the efforts of food banks and shelter do help, they are not enough as many are now forced to adopt a new alternative.

One of the families profiled was the Metzgers, led by father Tom who lost his job as a carpenter. Mr Metzger and his two children- Arielle, 15, and Austin, 13- live together in a small truck. The children's mother died when they were young.

'It's an adventure,' Arielle told CBS' Scott Pelley.

'It's not really that much of an embarrassment. I mean, it's only life. You do what you need to do, right?' she said.

Other families told stories of the fear they had during the night, afraid that people would rob them in their cars for the little money they have.

Some have worked out partnerships with motels that allow them to stay even though they have run out of cash, using their labour to repaint rooms as payment instead.

And those poor families is who YOU want to raise taxes on so we can leave the wealthy a great BIG tax cut.


You forget you hate the poor

To do what, exactly? Go to a meeting with people who will walk out while you are talking?

That's productive, how exactly?

He's going around the country to advocate for his legislation and yeah..raise money. You guys wanted it this way. You say money is speech. So..he needs alot of "speech" to battle republican "speech". Don't like it..change the law.

What kind of a President doesn't lead? A community organizer, that's who. Newt in 2012.. A new leader for a new day that will see America rise once more. I'm certain unlike Michelle, we all feel proud of our country regardless of her sorry Leader.

Her post was right on and you said nothing to refute it.

Wait a minute . . . didn't Barry say everyone should pay their fair share? Nearly 50% of Americans don't pay any fed taxes. Wouldn't the fair thing be to have everyone pay the same percentage? Yes, that would mean those who currently pay nothing would have to ante up and the wealthy, who have been paying not only their share but extra to cover those who pay nothing, would see a cut in their tax.

Well, that's what he said. But "fair" isn't really the goal here. Neither is securing a reliable and consistent revenue stream.

Punishing the wealthy to score political points and driving them out of the market are the aims.

Apparently, once you chase all the current crop of wealthy business people to foreign lands, patriotic Americans will step up and thank the gov't for the right to invest in America no matter how high of a tax rate they have to pay for the privilege.

"Jetting around the world" so he can score us some new business. Or didn't you hear we'd been lazy on that front.

Is it fair that the corps are doing great while the American people got screwed?


Yes it is fair to not ask poor people to pay fed taxes rather than feed their kids

Hey, Joe Wilson was right!

You're right. Let's tax all those evil corporations until they relocate to Sri Lanka.

That will feed a lot of children here.

Why is it when they got massive tax cuts during the Bush administration, that's exactly what they did..eh?

Not lazy, just incredibly ineffective.

And not lazy, but not all that diligent.

Fair ?

Or compassionate ?

Fair means you pay.
