Is It Just Me, Or Is The Left Beginning To Lose It Here?

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Seems to me that leftards on this board are really getting their asses kicked up around their shoulders lately. Seems that all their liberal utopia bull shit is coming home to roost, and ain't none of it good, and they have NOTHING worth while to say to defend it.

Trump is capitalizing on it too. He knows the country has been pushed so far, so fast to the left that people are sick to tears of government, liberals and being RAIL ROADED AGAINST THEIR WILL. The man has touched home with America, and America is responding. The left is going DOWN, and they're PISSED, and I LOVE IT.

Seems to me, it's just you......

Todd Starnes Calls On God To Send Hornets And Cicadas To Attack Obama Submitted by Mikayla Bean on Thursday, 6/25/2015 10:28 am

Fox News pundit Todd Starnes spoke at the Faith and Freedom Conference last Saturday in order to warn his Christian comrades that a war is coming. Starnes argued that if “our Founding Fathers” could see “these Republicans campaigning as culture war conservatives but governing as godless Democrats” they would “start another revolution.” Standing before the audience to “sound a warning, an alarm,” Starnes claimed that “the American way of life is under attack” from an “active and aggressive war on religious liberty.” However, this war does not affect “the Jewish faith, or the Muslim faith, or the Hindu faith,” but instead is targeted only against “people of the Christian faith.” - See more at: Todd Starnes Calls On God To Send Hornets And Cicadas To Attack Obama Right Wing Watch

Poor little PROGRESSIVE... brain dead freakin' idiot. So happy about the destruction of once great nation, in exchange for a third world, immoral, shit hole on the fast track to inevitable doom.

Whooo dude. Wipe the spit off your chin and settle down. You started this inane horseshit without even providing any examples of how "the left is losing it" It's a pretty moronic idea for a thread, especially since you can't even back up your own idiotic clap trap

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Lol what? It's been a fantastic couple of weeks for the left. I've been loving every second.

You entirely missed what I said, and responded with bull shit.

I hope as many microphones as possible get put in front of Trump. You should vote for him in the primaries.

Yeah... so... I do too, and I plan to vote for him. Me and millions of others.

What he says resonates with America.

WATCH David Letterman returns from retirement to deliver scathing Top 10 list on Donald Trump

A selection includes, “That thing on his head was the gopher in Caddyshack,” and “Donald Trump weighs 240 pounds, 250 with cologne.”

Number one on the list?

“Thanks to Donald Trump, the Republican mascot now is also an ass.

Letterman... pfft...

He's about a NOT FUNNY, dick headed, leftard MORON. No one cares what he has to say about anything other than other dick headed, leftard morons.

But it's nice to know even he is letting his BUTT HURT show about Trump being the number one conservative presidential contender... HA HA H AH A HAAAAAAA...

Seems to me that leftards on this board are really getting their asses kicked up around their shoulders lately. Seems that all their liberal utopia bull shit is coming home to roost, and ain't none of it good, and they have NOTHING worth while to say to defend it.

We're really seeing different news stories.

They're pretty much getting everything their way.

.

... "and ain't none of it good."

The vast majority of the country is now in one form or another pissed off at the fat left, either a little or a lot. You can't have one little radical far left minority ramming their immoral garbage down the throat of the majority and not at some point reach a critical mass. Well, the radical minority left has reached their critical mass, but they'll probably continue to push it until their anti American radical in the black house is gone, and then you're going to see a major turn around and push back, from PRESIDENT TRUMP.

I hope liberals absolutely lose it then. I hope they move, I hope they snap, I hope they completely freak out, because they need a damn good slap down.

Growth
Our dismal GDP numbers: Under Obama US stuck in slow growth rut

Here’s some advice to the White House: it might be time for President Obama to cancel the rest of his economic “mission accomplished” tour and help figure out how to get the U.S. growing again.

The Department of Commerce delivered the miserable news Wednesday morning that economic growth nearly ground to a halt during the first quarter, up a microscopic 0.2%. Even more disturbing, because the population is growing at about 0.8%, real per capita GDP is actually negative. Remember we also had an abysmal jobs growth number for March.

Bad ideas have bad consequences. What is especially demoralizing is that after this flurry of program spending in Washington, all we have to show for it is $7.5 trillion more debt.



Once again economists blamed the frigid and blizzard conditions on the east coast; and no doubt weather was a factor in the subpar performance.

But this is a long-term pattern under Obama, not a seasonal blip. Back in 2009, Vice President Biden promised us a “Summer of Recovery” and nearly six years later we are all still eagerly waiting for it.

The tepid growth rate so far in 2015 merely extends the track record of the 23 quarter post-Great Recession recovery. The annualized growth rate of 2.24% dead last compared to the six other recoveries since 1960, which averaged 3.97% after 23 quarters. This translates into nearly $1.7 trillion (in constant 2009 dollars) in absent economic growth.

But the more amazing comparison is that of the Reagan – which trounces this current so-called recovery. That recovery’s sizzling 4.8% annualized growth through 23 quarters was more than twice the rate of the current recovery. In other words, for every $1 of economic growth experienced during the present time, the Reagan recovery produced more than $2. As a result, the Reagan recovery gap now stands at a record $2.48 trillion of real annual GDP (in 2009 dollars). The economy is now more than 15 percent smaller than it would have been with Reagan style growth.

This didn’t happen by accident. The Obama policies (as well as those in the final months of the George W. Bush administration) were, almost without exception, costly and counterproductive. Congress and Obama pushed through $830 billion in stimulus spending – which was right out of the Keynesian economic playbook. Then the disciples of Lord Keynes expanded the assets of the Federal Reserve by $3.5 trillion dollars during three rounds of so-called quantitative easing. These trillions of newly created dollars flowed into the credit markets, to the banks, and into the mortgage backed securities industry. Like a cheap sugar high, economic growth seemed to temporarily respond.

The federal minimum wage rate was raised by more than 10 percent. Then came ObamaCare and its new regulations and costs on employers for mandated health care. Next were the tax increases on the rich. The Environmental Protection Agency went on a regulatory search and destroy mission against American fossil fuels producers – and that mission continues unabated to this day.

Mr. Obama suggested earlier this week that if Republicans hadn’t blocked his further spending ambitions for more social programs and “investments in infrastructure “projects, the rioting in Baltimore might have been averted. Really? Can our economic problem truly be that we aren’t spending and borrowing enough money in Washington?

Meanwhile, almost all economists agree we need to reduce our corporate tax rate. We could create hundreds of thousands of more jobs by encouraging domestic drilling for oil and gas rather than preventing it – through the EPA and the moronic decision to delay the Keystone XL pipeline. Fixing the ObamaCare anti-hiring rules would also boost growth. Those are the easy things – and even they can’t get done in this White House.

We reject the fears that America is headed into another recession. Expect a bounce back this quarter. But we’re stuck in a slow growth rut that is holding back American potential and hurting those at the bottom of the ladder the most. As John F. Kennedy used to put it: “We can do bettah.” Yes, much bettah.

I like your charts

They demonstrate what happens when you demand austerity while trying to gain an economic recovery. It's like slamming on the brakes instead of hitting the accelerator
As early as 2009, Republicans tried to restrict borrowing and slash government hiring
Can you imagine cutting government hiring while you have 10% unemployment?

Is that why Greece is now FORCED to accept severe austerity cuts?

Tell us how SOCIALISM and SPENDING OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY builds economies again, DUMBASS...

Guess what?

We are not Greece. Our economy was starving for cash, Republicans decided it was time to starve the beast

You gonna print some more??

All you would do is print paper that would devalue our current money supply.

You gonna borrow some more from China.

Well if we are in debt already and we can't pay that back then how the hell do you think we are pay that sum back plus what you want to borrow plus some more interest??

Nope taxing the rich / business if off the fucking table, I mean most of you can'[t get off your ass and hit a lick at work, how fucking dare you look at some one who will and want to take more.

Those that built business that are successful deserve every penny they get, if you are ENVIOUS get off your DEAD ASS"S and create your own fucking business to give away ...............

What happens in a US debt default?
By Kim Gittleson BBC business reporter, New York

Bills, bills, bills: how does the US government pay its debt?
What is a US debt default?
At its most basic level, a default is when a person or an entity cannot repay a debt on time. For instance, when a person can't make a payment on a mortgage or a car loan.

When a country does this, it's known as a sovereign default. This is when the country cannot repay its debt, which typically takes the form of bonds.

So if the US were to default, it would essentially stop paying the money it owed US Treasury bond holders.

A quick refresher: the US government spends more money than it collects in taxes. So to make up the shortfall, it raises funds by asking investors to buy US Treasury bonds. Investors, such as the Chinese government and pension funds, do this because these bonds are seen as a safe place to invest money.

What are the consequences of a US default?
No one really knows exactly what would happen, but the likelihood is that markets around the world would plunge and global interest rates would rise.

This is because if the US government could not repay the money it owed bondholders, the value of the bonds would decrease. And the yield - the return the government pays to an investor - would rise. This is because it would be perceived as a less safe investment.

This would prompt interest rates around the world, which are often tied to those of US Treasuries, to spike.

Furthermore, the impact on the US's creditors could be dire. Japan, for instance, owns about $1.14 trillion of US debt - which is equivalent to 20% of its annual economic output.

In the US, Goldman Sachs estimates that $175bn would immediately be withdrawn from the US economy and it could lead to a very deep recession.

How does the US government pay its bills anyway?
Strangely, no one really knows exactly how it works.

Each day, the US Treasury receives a little over two million bills from various federal agencies.

According to analysts at Credit Suisse, there are three main offices that pay those bills: the Department of Defense Disbursing Offices, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and the Financial Management Service.

Technically, the payment systems can be turned on - to make payments - or off - but not much else.

If prioritisation were possible, the US Treasury would probably turn off the tap at the Department of Defense Disbursing Offices and the Financial Management Service. That would leave the Bureau of Fiscal Service, which pays money to bondholders.

What bills does the US Treasury have coming up?
There are quite a few coming up in the next month; the biggest ones are due on 1 November.

After 17 October, the US government will only have about 68% of the funds it needs to pay its bills for the next month, according to a report by the Bipartisan Policy Center.

This means that technically, the government could continue to pay some bills.

However, daily revenue intake can fluctuate wildly, making it difficult to plan.

Furthermore, it's not just upcoming bills that could be a source of worry.

Every few days, the US Treasury must "roll over" its current debt holdings - about $300bn in the next month. Rolling over debt is like refinancing a mortgage - it's borrowing money to pay off a loan.

This typically doesn't "cost" anything, as the new debt should directly replace the old debt. But if you can't borrow at the same interest rate, your debt then gets more expensive.

So if investors decide that they no longer want to be involved with US bonds, they could refuse to buy those bonds. And those that are left could demand higher interest rates - which could cost the US government a significant amount in the long run.

Has the US defaulted before?
Not really.

There are three examples in US history that come close to default, with the most recent occurring in 1979.

Then, the US Treasury inadvertently defaulted on $122m, because of what it said was a word processing error.

Although the error was quickly fixed, and even though $122m was a tiny fraction of the $800bn in debt that the Treasury had at the time, a study found that the mini-default raised the cost of borrowing by 0.6%, or $6bn a year.

The other two instances, in 1933 and in 1790, both involve defaults akin to the current situation in Greece, when creditors were forced to take less money than what they were owed. Some economists have defined this as a default, but it's murky territory.

You're a Reaganist, hater dupe, and your heroes are defending Reagan tax rates and policies to the death. Ay caramba.

Gee how did I know you'd flat out lie about what I just said.
This country is on the verge of collapse,dont blame me for stating the truth,look in the mirror for the cause.

No, it isn't. You're merely so committed to the idea of America's Collapse, so emotionally invested in her failure.....that you'll believe your own apoylpse 'Death to America' porn no matter what?

Unemployment the lowest its been in more than half a decade. DOW near an all time record high? Total employment at all time records? Productivity up? GDP up? Homeownership rates climbing?

Does any of it matter to you? Of course not. You've decided we're fucked. And you're going to hold to that course no matter what.

You're committed to America's failure. We're committed to her success. And we're winning. We're continuing to invest in this country, continuing to start businesses, start families to build our communities. You feel free to wallow in the wasteland of your own miserable fantasies. And we'll continue to build this country.

Deal?

And who's going to pay for this success?
If you havent noticed this country is broke and you morons keep adding to that debt.
Pie in the sky liberals.....

As I said, you're commited to America's failure. No matter what, you will always bet against her. Exactly as I described among American Conservatives. And this you call 'loving your country'? You're emotionally invested in the collapse of your own country. And do nothing but talk shit about her. That's not love. That's hate.

We're commited to America's succcess. Which is why we're building America....while you fantasize about her collapse.

So pointing out that the Titanic is headed for an iceberg is being "committed" to the Titanic's failure?

You assume you are on the Titanic. Failure and collapse define your world view. You're emotionally and intellectually invested in protecting your view of failure and collapse. And will ignore anything that contradicts that view.

Shrinking deficit, rising GDP, lower unemployment, higher total employment, rising stock market, rising consumer confidence, higher manufacturing output......

To your ilk, its all irrelevant. You're commited to hitting that iceberg. And there is nothing that can convince you to steer away from it.

Feel free to wallow in failure, loathing of this country, and delusions of collapse. We'll keep building this nation that we love, starting our businesses , raising our families while you huddle in a puddle of your fetid yellow fear.

I am on the Titanic with Clinton at the helm. I"m committed to avoiding the iceberg. You're committed to hitting it. The guy who tells the skipper "look out for the iceberg" is not committed to hitting it. You're error results from the fact that you've deluded yourself into believing that you're sailing in the tropics.

I oppose the Reagan tax rates on the grounds that they were too high.

And you are obsessing over 6 yr old shit, failing to realize your HNIC did nothing to correct any of those problems and yet you still think Regan is the fucking culprit here .................. grow the fuck up, get back to reality and stop being a little whiny instigating bitch.
