Paul Krugman: The President Surrenders

[CrusaderFrank]

As I understand the deal thus far, the Bush tax cuts will end next year. So there will be a tax increase. On the entitlement side, I think a good place to start is with mortgages. No interest deducts on any mortgage over 400K, and only on one home. There are numerous other high end loopholes to be cut, also.

Also, I saw nothing forbidding further increases in taxes, so let's add 5% on all income above one million, and a tax on the products of companies that have offshored their factories, then import the product back here. About 20% would be a start.

Let's get serious about debt reduction. Kinda like banks, you go where the money is. Simply killing off the old folks and cutting out programs for children, you know, those useless things like education and health, won't make it. You have to get some income.

Spoken like a true EnviroMarxists Eugenicists!

That describes the Tea Party exactly. Ironically. Rants embraced only by a minority of the country.

But but, we thought you Liberals "cared more" about minorities in the country?
I guess that is ONLY when they suit your purpose, eh?

Cared more?

What does that mean?

Liberals support a government where minority rights are respected.

We don't support a government ruled by the minority.

Now, was that so hard to understand?

Liberals have been the Minority ruling over the Majority for the last 50 years or so.
Now that the Majority of Moderate and Conservatives are no longer silent, the Liberals are having a complete meltdown.
And you are right. We don't support a government ruled by the Minority of Liberals any longer.

PRINCETON, NJ -- Conservatives continue to outnumber moderates and liberals in the American populace in 2009, confirming a finding that Gallup first noted in June. Forty percent of Americans describe their political views as conservative, 36% as moderate, and 20% as liberal. This marks a shift from 2005 through 2008, when moderates were tied with conservatives as the most prevalent group.

Conservatives Maintain Edge as Top Ideological Group

You Liberals are just pissed that the Majority of the people are not buying into the Liberals lies any longer.

 

[Sallow]

Well it's a heck of a lot better then the Republican plan.

Borrow and spend.

I'd be more then happy to toss out the Electoral College and just go with Majority votes.

You?

Get ready folks, now we are going to be seeing how this WAS THE OBAMA'S PLAN ALL ALONG.

All he cared about was being able to focus on campaigning across all 57 states, and he got that

 

[uscitizen]

So if things do not get better now it will be the Tea Party's fault?

 

[Zoom-boing]

I don't know all the details but saw that 2.2T will be cut over the next decade. WTF??? Is that a joke? 2T over 10 years? That's nothing and they know it. Why are they acting as if that's some great number, some great amount that's being cut?

It also says that it makes a 'nearly $1 trillion down payment on deficit reduction with an expedited process for balanced deficit reduction in a longer term process for an additional $1.5 trillion in savings through both tax and entitlement reform'.

Read more: Raw Data: Democratic Fact Sheet on Reducing the Deficit, Raising the Debt Limit and Avoiding Default - FoxNews.com

According to S&P and Moodys they need 4T as a downpayment in order to avoid downgrading.

So again, is this all a joke? They (DC) is acting as if avoiding default is the be all, end all. Isn't it still very possible/likely that we will be downgraded?

No, Obama and the Liberoids still own this mess.

Bait swallowed hook line and sinker. Just the response I expected.

The Tea Party wins big but accepts no responsibility for their actions?

Question: What started the Tea Party?

Answer: A Black President.

No, an incompetent president who misjudged what his mandate was.

Now, I know you want to believe that this is about race, and when Obama gets voted out next year in a 49 state loss, you can blame mean old racism, but the fact is, he was done in by his own arrogance.

He forced a health-care reform plan the people didn't wantLIAR The people wanted even more and the republicans made it impossible Poll: Most Back Public Health Care Option - CBS News. When even liberal Massachusetts gave Ted Kennedy's seat to a Republican with the express purpose of stopping it, he used a parlimentary manuever to shove it down our throats, anyway.

He carped about Bush's economy, but gave us one that was far worse. He whined about the wars and started another one.

You are a lying sack of shit

 

[Truthmatters]

A clear majority of Americans -- 72 percent -- support a government-sponsored health care plan to compete with private insurers, a new CBS News/New York Times poll finds. Most also think the government would do a better job than private industry at keeping down costs and believe that the government should guarantee health care for all Americans.

Wins? We didn't win. We passed Cut Cap and Balance but all the Progressive Jihadist in the WH wanted was to be able to campaign across our 57 states again

But continuing their 2+ years of total failure, Democrats still have not produced a budget.

With Voter ID and only voters who can pass a citizenship test being able to vote. Sure

 

[peach174]

Competition is a good thing.
The New Health Care plan is still not what the Majority of Americans want.
The New Health Care plan is a completely government controlled plan and the majority of this nation do not want it.

Amd yes I go with the majority of the votes, that is why 87 new republicans were elected.
