Sen. Jim Demint will filibuster Obama/Republican Tax/Unemployment Bill

[Truthmatters]

what would Obama have to give you for you to recognise he gave your party what they wanted?

Make the tax rates permanent.

a real fiscally sound plan.


The real republican party.

I won't fall prey to optimism here but how great would it be if the Tea Party fuckstick Jim DeMint managed to screw up the best deal the GOP minority has gotten in ages?

He doesn't have to compromise. In three weeks Republicans can get an even better deal.

You mean they're going to insist that the bill be deficit neutral?

 

[Stephanie]

don't fall for the DESEPTION.

You should make that classic your sigline, Broomhilda.

how cute.

"The plan would resurrect the Death Tax, grow government, blow a hole in the deficit with unpaid-for spending, and do so without providing the permanent relief and security our economy needs to finally start hiring and growing again."

Read the Republican code.

"blow a hole in the deficit with unpaid-for spending" means "no unemployment benefits for millions of Americans".

"permanent relief and security our economy needs" means "Tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires".

See, I'm starting to understand "Republicanese". I actually know what Republicans are talking about.

So much for the lie that Republicans vote in lock-step.

Oh, they vote in "lock step". Jimmy just realized the bill contains money for Americans to have at least a semblance of Christmas. He suddenly realized that there were millions of Americans he could fuck over really, really good. Money for the ultra rich wasn't enough. The other Republicans haven't quite realized the possibilities. The votes not over.

Obama already spent the tax increases.

Is permanent subsistence on government a Christmas present?

Please rdean, tell me how a tax cut increases the deficit. And then explain to me why you are condemning the Republicans for doing exactly what you want, stopping the deal that gives tax breaks to the rich.

 

[Vel]

How about reassigning some unused stimulus money to pay for the unemployment benefits extension?

 

[Yurt]

the left wing hacks like tm and rdean are hilarious....they fail to mention at least one dem that i know of....wants to filibuster

but oh no....its the republican's fault, despite the fact that they gave the american people an extension on UB benefits....

[Sallow]

Like the origninal Bush tax cuts. 2.4 trillion dollars with more than 52% going to a mere 1% of tax payers.

Then there were the two unpaid for wars.

Then the trillions from the "Drugs for votes" bill.

Now, tell me how good these were for the economy and how they didn't cost anything.

Deficits declined until Democrats controlled Congress. Unemployement was half of what it is now, and remained level.

Both.

I guess these dumbasses can't read graphs.

 

[Revere]

Unemployment declined by about 2 million from 2003 to 2007, the years when those tax cuts supposedly weren't creating any jobs.

Does everything have to be explained to you people?

Say you leave your trailer in the morning to go collect aluminum cans. You borrow 10 dollars to eat breakfast first because you're hungry. You collect the cans, but you are only paid 8 dollars. Because you budgeted for 10 dollars and spent ten dollars, the guy who lent you 10 dollars is going to kick your ass.

Well, it works the same way for government.

We have nuclear subs and a huge military. We know pretty much how much they will cost for the year. We budget for that amount. Bush takes trillions that should have paid for two wars and our military. Instead, he borrowed money from China to pay the military. The two wars he left off the budget. The money, he gave away. A little spread out over the middle class. 52% he gave to the top 1%.

We are still spending 190 million a day just in Afghanistan. Where is that money coming from?

Republicans only think they want to be poor like Afghanistan. But as soon as something threatens their disability, they freak. No one on this board is a millionaire. Most probably don't even know one. They are called "fools" when they fight for people they don't know who sees them as "not rich", therefore, "not to be respected", therefore, "someone to squat on. We see it now with the Republican leadership.
