Do you want medicare or don't you? Simple decision.
Right now in Iran, Greece, France, the Middle East, Africa, America, the citizens are uprising because the rich have gotten too greedy. That's the easiest way to put it. The 99%'ers and Wallstreet Protesters are pissed off because the rich have gotten richer and we have gotten poorer. And the GOP wants us to sacrafice but not the top 1%? Corporations should pay any taxes?
How Rich is Too Rich For Democracy?
The French are pissed because the retirement age was raised from 60 to 62 but the rich are to greedy ????
Demonstrators have taken to the streets of nearly 250 cities and towns across France today expressing their outrage over a government plan to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62.
The protests were the biggest so far in a series of demonstrations that have wracked the country in recent days.
A vote on the plan, expected Wednesday, to raise the retirement age is the centerpiece of President Nicolas Sarkozy's long-promised economic reform. But leftist politicians offered more than a thousand amendments postponing the vote until at least Thursday evening.
On Monday night, Sarkozy, who was meeting with his German and Russian counterparts in the northern town of Deauville, remained defiant.
"The reform is essential and France is committed to it and will go ahead with it," Sarkozy declared.
This year the French pension system faces a 32 billion euro deficit, and Sarkozy has promised to make it solvent again by 2018.
This is the sixth national strike since Sept. 7 and it brought even more disruptions to air, train and car travel across

I'm thinking you're a complete fucking retard.
France is fine. Greece is a corrupt mess that ALSO listened to Lehman Bros. way too much.
Thanks for the depression, Pubbies , great job. Listening doesn't want to know ANYTHING but a couple of oversimplified Pub talking points- what a cave man lol...one of millions...Pub dupes- perfect fools for mega rich AZZHOLES
Went from 750k jobs lost per month to 27 straight months of job growth in 6 months, nitwit.
What a bunch of moroons.
Congress caused all of this, not the presidents.
To Republicans "job creation" is code for tax cuts for the rich. We tried that for the last 30 years, and it has not worked. Why? Because 70% of the economy is consumer demand. Putting more and more money in fewer and fewer hands reduces demand. Raise taxes on the rich, cut defense, and balance the budget the way Clinton did. George Bush almost destroyed America. Let's bring it back.
sure jobs are just everywhere Dudly.....California has so many jobs they are even turning the Illegals away....lets see....the two balls are here....Frankie and you.....Chris the ball sack is here....as soon as the Dick Dean shows up you guys will be complete....Obama is George Bush on steroids. He continued all of Bush's policies. He has actually made things so much worse. He has completely sunk future generations. From the NDAA, to massive Debt & Poverty. What a mess.
Yeah ... Bush lost us jobs to the tune of MORE than three quarters of a million a month compared to Obama creating more than 4 million new jobs and saving countless millions more.
Yeah, they're exactly the same alright. Sheesh.
And, now, NitWitMit says he's gonna go right back to the Bush/Reagan/Bush losing MILLIONS of jobs.
You rw's just refuse to pay attention to what is right in front of your closed and locked minds.

Republicans have very short term memories and/or selective memories, huh?
As of August 2007 Since Bush has been president:
over 5 million people have slipped into poverty;
nearly 7 million Americans have lost their health insurance;
median household income has gone down by nearly $1,300;
three million manufacturing jobs have been lost;
three million American workers have lost their pensions;
home foreclosures are now the highest on record;
the personal savings rate is below zero - which hasn't happened since the great depression;
the real earnings of college graduates have gone down by about 5% in the last few years;
entry level wages for male and female high school graduates have fallen by over 3%;
wages and salaries are now at the lowest share of GDP since 1929.
Bush and Obama are alike in that they are both corporatists.
What a bunch of moroons.
Congress caused all of this, not the presidents.
well according to Frankie ONLY the Republican part.....the Democrats i guess to this "moroon" have never done us any wrong....
For Republicans America is a platform for individual fulfillment. But here's the catch: the Individual is defined in the narrowest possible terms. Any notion of the "The Public Good" is seen as "Socialism" (socialism being anything the government does for the non-wealthy). The Free Market will fix New Orleans levees. The Free Market will effectively control the amount of derivative based risk Wall Street will take. The Free Market will get us off imported oil(rather than spending decades making terrorists stronger). The Free Market will keep our rivers clean. The Free Market will make healthcare more efficient. The Free Market won't bribe Washington in order to increase it's profit margin. We don't need to worry about "The Public Good", individual selfishness driven by short term profit is a utopian reflex.
But the world doesn't work that way. Selfishness harms society....tears it apart....destroys the world economy....spills millions of barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico.....tears a hole in the ozone...creates a garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean twice the size of Texas...melts the North Polar ice cap.....creates massive deficits by giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy....
But the Republicans celebrate this selfishness. It is their core value. For them greed is good.

How do they think GOP policies benefit them, their families or neighbors?
Maybe its a wedge issue like abortion. So important to them that they don't even care about all the other issues. They make a decent living and don't think the GOP hurt them financially.
I mean, its not like these middle class righties on USMB are getting the Bush tax breaks.
For sure they are brainwashed. Conned into thinking unions and liberals are the enemy. Socialists! Bo! It must be scary to believe all the shit Fox and Rush say. A muslim socialist born in Kenya is in the White House.
Bush and Obama are alike in that they are both corporatists.
and both are piss poor leaders....
Jobs are already coming back from China.
As to all the stats- thanks for the depression, Pubs- and total lack of cooperation, AND the biggest fear mongering propaganda machine ever....PFFFT!
