John Kerry Blames the Tea Party for S&P's downgrade of US! WTF!!!

How is the Tea Party hurting anyone by suggesting we cut spending

Right, because cutting spending is a novel idea the tea party came up with all on their own. its not as if a Republican Congress and a Democratic President worked together in the late 90's to balance the budget.

, which is exactly what S&P said we need to do?
Not exactly
Standard & Poor's takes no position on the mix of spending and revenue
measures that Congress and the Administration might conclude is appropriate
for putting the U.S.'s finances on a sustainable footing.

Of course it's the TPers fault. When they turned down 3-4 trillion in cuts because of 1 trillion in revenue enhancements, S&P realized it was amateur hour in Congress, because any decent economist will tell you we can't get out of this by cuts alone.

S&'s John Chambers states it differently:
S&P's Chambers: 1-in-3 Chance of Further US Downgrade
"It would take a stabilization of the debt as a share of the economy and eventual decline. And it would take, I think, more ability to reach consensus in Washington than what we're observing now," he said.

The bolded part reads like he thinks it's all of their fault.
 
This is the TeaTards greatest accomplishment...

Why aren't they taking a bow?
 
Well, I guess we can now add your stupid ass to the list of the liberal idiots who have nothing of significanse to add up here.

Christ, and you people wonder why your idiotic agenda is going straight down the tubes, while the Tea Party grows and gains momentum.

Fear mongering idiots?........Yeah, it was the Tea Party who were out there trying to scare grandma out of her Depends.

You people and your hypocrisy is beyond comical, to the point of being downright hysterical.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Sucks to be a loony lib these days to be sure!



No one has to try to scare grandma, grandma would be able to scare herself without direction from others when her ss check doesn't show up on time.

:cuckoo: You people are the dumbest people to ever exist in a democracy. You support policies that cut grandma's social security and medicare and then blame the liberals for trying to scare grandma. Do you understand how stupid that is? That's like shooting someone in the gut and blaming the guy who points out your victim is bleeding.
Damn, just think, ya' liberal idiot.........Balance the damn budget.
Balance the budget without raising taxes and without affecting social security and medicare - got it - care to explain HOW that is possible?

Stop threatening small business owners and corporations who are holding on to their money, instead of expanding and creating jobs, because of the threat of mass taxation of their bottom lines.
How are they being "threatened" ?
Thereby creating a whole slew of taxpayers who are gainfully employed, out in the world spending and providing the revenue.
Taxation as a % of GDP is the lowest its been in decades, its indisputable taxation is on the left side of the Laffer curve peak.
Funny thing about you economically challenged morons is the fact that you haven't a fucking clue......To you people, it's all about spend, spend, spend.....Well, your boy has spent his ass off on the backs of the taxpayers, and it's dismally failed........
??? We don't have a clue? You've not actually offered anything of value - you just keep repeating mantras. Repeating the phrase "balance the budget" over and over isn't going to balance the budget.

Anjd now he's further threatening the job creators with taxing them further, to pay for more of his god damn spending spree.......No wonder you damn lib's think everybody elses money is your own.

What the fuck are you babbling about now? Most new jobs are created by small businesses that profit less than 250k a year. If anyone group can be called the "job creators" - its the middle and lower middle class. But in actuality the "job creator" is the economy as a whole and to assign that honor to particular group is a lie. Jobs are created because people demand goods and services and if they can't produce those things themselves they have to get someone else to do it.


And, just what do you think is going to happen when 20% of this nations economy is riding the back of his ridiculous healthcare fiasco?

All you do is babble. No specifics. Just vague innuendo and babbling. The % of GDP spent on healthcare was rising long before Obama even ran for Senate.

When the Democrats held the House of Representatives, the rabid right told us EVERY DAY that the only blame to be assigned was directly to them. When the Tea Party took the House, were we supposed to forget where the blame goes?

Part of being in charge is accepting culpability for problems. I guess the politically naive and the ignorant can get away with crowing about the changes they will make. But they turn and run, forget their own childishness and deny any responsibility on their own. It's easier to campaign than govern. Some lessons, like that and where the blame goes, are lost on the rabid right, particularly their Tea Party neophytes.

The Tea Party gave us what they said they would. We have only ourselves to blame

Is that the same Senator Kerry that married the widow of his best friend and parked his multi-million dollar yacht in the state next door to avoid a big tax bill?

Yeah, that one. Kerry has been in the senate since 1984. Obama in office for 2.5 years. The Tea Party is a small part of only one third of the federal government. They have been in office for less than seven months, yet are being blamed for all sorts of stuff. Terrorism, hostage taking, vest bombing, etc. The dems, especially the pres, had best stop crying, show some balls, and figure out a way to fix shit. A little leadership from the man who lied his way into office would be a nice change.

What laws did he break? And what business is it of you who he marries?

Shifting assets to other states to avoid taxation is a policy that righties endorse, is it not?

Should all those corporations headquartered in Delaware move just so they can pay higher taxes? Or should only your political enemies be expected to pay the higher taxes?

LMAO!

Yeah, balance the damn budget!

Stop threatening to take revenue away from small business and corporations bottom lines. They ARE the job creators. They are not expanding or hiring because of the constant threats from this idiotic lame duck president and administration. They are not expanding or hiring because they have no confidence in this lame duck president and administration.

You people ignorantly think that big government is the answer to all woes. You ignorantly think that it's government who will supply the jobs. You are completely clueless to the fact that the more who are employed, the more people spend, thereby creating the revenue that is so desperately needed through sales tax, property taxes, so on and so forth. You ignorantly think 250 grand a year is boatloads o' money. Fact is, in this day and age, it is not. Particularly when you are trying to expand, invest and create, while trying to maintain a bottom line.

So, tell us all, just what the fuck has Obama's throwing money in eleven different directions, with zero accountability done?

It's done nothing but drive us deeper into the ditch. That you cannot deny.......The man needs to go, right along with a whole hell of a lot of other ignorant fuckers in Washington on both sides of the aisle........Lefties and RINO's are the biggest threat to this great country. They need to be kicked to the fucking curb, and they will be, once and for all.

But hey, you voted for that lame duck empty suit. You voted for the only president in history who had our pristine credit rating downgraded on his watch. That's called abject failure of leadership. It's called disaster........What he is, is the most divisive president in history. A true leader leads. He couldn't lead a group of ol' ladies across the street, let alone lead them to coming together before crossing said street.

He twice married into money and uses rich-guy tactics to keep it. Yet he and others of his ilk want everyone else to give up more of theirs. He has no legal, moral, or ethical standing to lecture anyone on money policy.

"rich-guy tactics" ?

People marry into money all the time. I could give a fuck about Kerry's personal life or any other politician's (unless they decide to make an issue out of it themselves). Its irrelevant.
Yet he and others of his ilk want everyone else to give up more of theirs. He has no legal, moral, or ethical standing to lecture anyone on money policy.

His "ilk" ? What is his "ilk" - people who use "ruch guy tactics"?

Do you realize how stupid and afraid you sound?
 
Yeah, balance the damn budget!

How?

Stop threatening to take revenue away from small business and corporations bottom lines.

What does that have to do with balancing the budget?
They ARE the job creators.
The economy creates the jobs. we've been over this before.
They are not expanding or hiring because of the constant threats from this idiotic lame duck president and administration.

Really? It has nothing to do with the lack of consumer demand I guess. Why weren't the expanding or hiring before Obama took office? Obama "threatens" to close the deficit gap with revenue increases - and that makes corporations not want to make money anymore - got it!
You people ignorantly think that big government is the answer to all woes.

When you have some specifics instead of just babbling sentence after sentence filled with righty catch words like "big government" and "job creators" - let us know.

You ignorantly think that it's government who will supply the jobs.
Uhh, actually, as I already mentioned, I said I think the ECONOMY supplies the jobs. But thanks for telling me what I think on the issue, not only without asking me - but after I already told you what I think on the issue. It makes you look as stupid as you actually are.


You are completely clueless to the fact that the more who are employed, the more people spend, thereby creating the revenue that is so desperately needed through sales tax, property taxes, so on and so forth.


Uhh, no, that's not what I think. I do think we are to the left of the laffer curve though, as evidenced by our historically low taxation rate and the economic booms in the past that were accompanied by high rates of taxation than present today.


You ignorantly think 250 grand a year is boatloads o' money.

I don't know that its 'boatloads', but it is 8 times bigger than the median household income.
Fact is, in this day and age, it is not.
Sure its not a lot - for the wealthy. But for the typical American household that makes the median household income of $31K - it is a lot.
Particularly when you are trying to expand, invest and create, while trying to maintain a bottom line.

A small business that profits 250k+ annually isn't "struggling to maintain a bottom line" - clearly, they have at least 250k on the bottom line.

So, tell us all, just what the fuck has Obama's throwing money in eleven different directions, with zero accountability done?

He didn't do that.

It's done nothing but drive us deeper into the ditch
.
So spending money into the economy is bad for the economy. Got it.
.Lefties and RINO's are the biggest threat to this great country. They need to be kicked to the fucking curb, and they will be, once and for all.
Or perhaps rounded up into concentration camps and gassed?
You voted for the only president in history who had our pristine credit rating downgraded on his watch.
The S&P is the same credit agency that had Lehman Bros. listed as A even as they filed for bankruptcy. To put much stock into their report is pretty stupid.

That's called abject failure of leadership. It's called disaster........
:cuckoo: Its the Congress that passes the budget moron.

LOL, first the TEA Party didn't take over Congress! The Republicans acquired 1/2 of the 1 part of the government. The Democrats still have the senate and Presidency! In the House, the Tea Party Republicans only make up a small percentage of the Republicans in the house. I don't think it even hits 25%!
 
Of course it's the TPers fault. When they turned down 3-4 trillion in cuts because of 1 trillion in revenue enhancements, S&P realized it was amateur hour in Congress, because any decent economist will tell you we can't get out of this by cuts alone.

Yeah, those tea party yahoos held the whole country's economic future (the whole world's for that matter) hostage to their demands. They even held their leadership hostage. So, the world watched on in total disbelief as the deadline clock ticked down to the very last day before the deal was struck.

Now, Republicans are acting like a guy who insists he's innocent of shooting the dead man in the back who's lying in the middle of a field even as he's standing there holding a revolver that still has smoke coming out of the barrel and there's no one else in sight.

The tea party yahoos have what's known as a credibility problem and one hell of a lot of nerve (or as Michele Bachmann would say, "shootspa").

Pay no attention to idiots like old navy. Kerry was rich before he married Teresa Heinz:


Kerry is the child of Richard Jerry Kerry (1915–2000), a Foreign Service Officer and an attorney for the Bureau of United Nations Affairs, and Rosemary Forbes Kerry (1913–2002), a World War II nurse and member of the wealthy Forbes family.

I win again!
