So what they mean is that to be normal, you have to spend 2.5 trillion in less than 2 years promising for it to create jobs "And unemployment went up to 10% from 6.5% in that time", pass a healthcare law that will sink the entire economy "And make it mandatory for people to pay into". If that's normal I'm proud to be aligned with the abnormal.
It seems neg repping me is the only way Rabbi can "get me" because he lacks the intelligence to do it by debating. 
Democrats never agree on anything? Except money and bribes buy votes, enter Ocare.
Republicans on the otherhand are holding their leaders feet to the fire rather than conforming to his deal with O.
It is very frustrating to read comments such as you post. There is a reason for "Ocare" which was an effort to reform a broken healthcare system. Not broken in the sense actual care was poor, broken in the sense that is was too expensive & in too many cases cost familes everything they worked for over a lifetime; it also failed to cover all Americans.
The arguments you seem to accept and the opinions you hold are bought and paid for by the special interests which profit from the current system, at the expense of our fellow citizens.
Democrats argue about process and expediency, they agree on one immutable truth: The Golden Rule.
Callous conservatives which dominate the GOP today reject this rule and as we have seen put profit over people as a matter of principle.
It is equally frustrating to read your comments. Democrats seem to believe they have the God given right to reach into someone else's bank account and withdrawal funds for their needs. I'm sorry if healthcare is so expensive that it "familes everything they worked for over a lifetime" or that it "failed to cover all Americans" - truly I am. But where in the Consitution does it say that we have to "cover all American's" when it comes to healthcare? You know who believes in that? Cuba. The former U.S.S.R. North Korea. Tell me, how are things woking out for those countires that live in a perpetual state of poverty?
If healthcare "wasn't working" in your opinion and in the opinion of Democrats, then why didn't you guys fix it yourself? Not ask government to unconstutionally force me to use their system. Not ask government to take what someone else has earned. Fix it yourself. Create a CHARITY - paid for by you caring Democrats and not us "callous" conservatives to solve the problem.
But the truth is, at the end of the day, this is all about liberals getting their hands on hard working conservatives money. It's more of the same old from the gimme, gimme, gimme greedy liberals who aren't willing to take personal responsibility for themselves in life.
The top Obama economic advisor's have all quit Kiwi. That is published fact. I try to not neg the mentally challenged. Rabbi should have been more understanding of your condition. My apologies.

Hey Einstein....insurance companies don't reach into my pocket at all. You know why? Because they can't. Because I can drop them any time I want and find a new company. That's the beauty of the private sector. They don't show up at your house with a gun like the US government does.
Furthermore, if an insurance company folds, nobody but those employees are effected. When the US collapses under the idiot Socialism your pushing (which has already created $14 trillion in debt), we're all screwed. Every last one of us. That's the other beauty of the private sector - it limits who is effected and all of us can control whether or not we are effected, unlike the US government.
Cuba offers "unlimited" healthcare to all of their citizens - how is that working out for them? The former U.S.S.R. did too - until they collapsed. You know, famine and poverty through out the country for a decade, until they turned to Capitalism and officially renamed themselves Russia. Funny how you keep avoiding that question and these undeniable facts. It's something liberals do because they refuse to learn from history. They just keep making the same mistakes over and over, all of which always ends in completely poverty for everyone. But then, I think that's what liberals want. In their angry little jealousy for those that have done better than them in life, they just want to drag everyone down to the very bottom.
David Brooks is a good neocon.
And how would that be relevant?
Release
The RINO Kraken!
The Left hides in fear!
(too bad only the Left, RINO's and the MSM care what Brooks has to say)
The RNC taking advice from Brooks would be like them letting Papa Obama
run the party
is that what they are doing?......I love to see the right trying to out tea party each other.
Its great for the country
The top 1% has quadrupled their wealth under Voodoo, while the bottom 98% have fizzled.
The Mother of All No-Brainers
By DAVID BROOKS
Published: July 4, 2011
If the Republican Party were a normal party, it would take advantage of this amazing moment. It is being offered the deal of the century: trillions of dollars in spending cuts in exchange for a few hundred billion dollars of revenue increases.
A normal Republican Party would seize the opportunity to put a long-term limit on the growth of government. It would seize the opportunity to put the country on a sound fiscal footing. It would seize the opportunity to do these things without putting any real crimp in economic growth.
The party is not being asked to raise marginal tax rates in a way that might pervert incentives. On the contrary, Republicans are merely being asked to close loopholes and eliminate tax expenditures that are themselves distortionary.
This, as I say, is the mother of all no-brainers.
But we can have no confidence that the Republicans will seize this opportunity. Thats because the Republican Party may no longer be a normal party. Over the past few years, it has been infected by a faction that is more of a psychological protest than a practical, governing alternative.
The members of this movement do not accept the logic of compromise, no matter how sweet the terms. If you ask them to raise taxes by an inch in order to cut government by a foot, they will say no. If you ask them to raise taxes by an inch to cut government by a yard, they will still say no.
The members of this movement do not accept the legitimacy of scholars and intellectual authorities. A thousand impartial experts may tell them that a default on the debt would have calamitous effects, far worse than raising tax revenues a bit. But the members of this movement refuse to believe it.
The members of this movement have no sense of moral decency. A nation makes a sacred pledge to pay the money back when it borrows money. But the members of this movement talk blandly of default and are willing to stain their nations honor.
The members of this movement have no economic theory worthy of the name. Economists have identified many factors that contribute to economic growth, ranging from the productivity of the work force to the share of private savings that is available for private investment. Tax levels matter, but they are far from the only or even the most important factor.
But to members of this movement, tax levels are everything. Members of this tendency have taken a small piece of economic policy and turned it into a sacred fixation. They are willing to cut education and research to preserve tax expenditures. Manufacturing employment is cratering even as output rises, but members of this movement somehow believe such problems can be addressed so long as they continue to worship their idol.
Over the past week, Democrats have stopped making concessions. They are coming to the conclusion that if the Republicans are fanatics then they better be fanatics, too.
Mere parsimony is not economy. Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy.
Edmund Burke
I see Rabbi neg repped me yet again! This time for Post#37!
