The fact that we were able to lay the trap does feel pretty good

No one hires someone because they have extra cash.

They hire someone because they can profit from their labor.

If you only hire one person then you can not profit off of two.

The fiscal house MUST be put in order and these tax cuts are bleeding the US of revenue.

Go back and look at the economies we had when this tax rate was 90% or 70%.


The economy did just fine.

Companies hire people because there is a need for their services.

 

[Truthmatters]

What is the need silly?

Its a need created by the ability to profit off the contract right?

NO ONE but a failed business person hires people they DONT NEED.

Howard Kurtz of the Daily Beast interviewed Andrew Card and Dan Bartlett, Bush's former chief-of-staff and communication director, and discovered how pleased Shrub and the Tulips are with the economic decay they helped germinate.

"When the tax cuts were enacted, with an expiration date, Republicans and Bush officials understood the political advantages of the 'fiscal time bomb' they were setting.

"As Kurtz puts it: 'At some point in the way distant future, Democrats could be accused of raising taxes if they tried to undo the Bush breaks and return to Clinton-era levels of taxation.'

"Democrats understood this, too: Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND) told the Washington Post at the time that '[Bush is] going to be out of office when the roof falls in.'”

The actual costs of these cuts was carefully concealed from voters at the time of Senate passage.

"The various sunsets also hid the true cost of the bill.

"As Paul Krugman wrote at the time: 'The administration, knowing that its tax cut wouldn’t fit into any responsible budget, pushed through a bill that contains the things it wanted most — big tax cuts for the very, very rich — and used whatever accounting gimmicks it could find to make the overall budget impact seem smaller than it is.'”

'Think it's too late to send Dubya and Dick to Afghanistan?

Bush Officials Celebrate

And yet the deficits were decreasing year over year through 2007.

If this was a politically motivated economy, one might suppose that the Democrats taking power and not even submitting budgets to over run might have some culpability in the current economic problems.

Of course, one might be wrong.

Of course YOU are wrong.

Deficits increased year over year through 2007 but Bush kept more and more of the increasing deficits off budget year over year knowing SUCKERS like you would never be the wiser.

How do we put our financial houses in order when the government steals 1/3+ of our income every year?

The problem with our system isnt lack of revenues. It's overspending. Talk to me when you are serious about curbing entitlement spending.

Government does.

 

[Truthmatters]

The government has different needs than a corporation.

There is NOT the need for profit in government actions

That's true. The government should break even: income = spending.

But they don't do that.

Below are two images.
One is who the Democrats want you to believe that will pay more taxes.
The other is the real deal. The hard-working business owner/manager who is the very backbone of this country.

actally, that's al lie. it's what the rightwingnuts would like you to believe. cutting taxes doesn't increase jobs... or the last 10 years would already have produced them.

No wonder you are confused, you refuse to look at the entire dynamic.

Thanks for playing.

What you claim is they should break even at the end of each year.

That is bullshit.

LONG TERM Investment is prudent even for governments.

If the only way people could make large purchases was with cash then this economy would be REALLY FUCKED

POLITICALWIRE.COM - "We knew that, politically, once you get it into law, it becomes almost impossible to remove it. That's not a bad legacy. The fact that we were able to lay the trap does feel pretty good, to tell you the truth."-- White House communications director Dan Bartlett, quoted by the Daily Beast, on setting a trap for Democrats on tax cuts.

Quote of the Day

Yep, they laid a trap. Only they caught America. Funny.

However, the true trap was healthcare reform.

You mean Medicare part D that the Republicans passed, unfunded? The biggest social spending program since the 60's?

I don't hear too many conservatives demanding that we either pay for that, or repeal it.

Oh come on.... your not that silly are ya?

Look at the unemployment rates while GW was in office!
I prospered while GW was in office.... only 8 months into Obama's "regime", I LOST MY JOB!

So stop with the insanity and playing politics with the numbers..... Unemployment has skyrocketed under Obama b/c THEY are using failed policies.....

 

[Truthmatters]

The real numbers dont agree with you.

Bush created very few jobs and then crashed the economy.

I love how you try and pretend for hack political purposes that Obama did not inherit a huge fucking mess fresh off the Bush presses

NO SHIT SHERLOCK!

All they need is idiots like you cheerleading for them, and hard workers like me and some others on here to do all the heavy lifting... Your a moron and in WAY over your head little girl...

I can guarantee you that YOU are an Eaned Income Tax Credit case or a welfare recipient... b/c you are all for the gov't taking more of MY money, and not yours...!

And what are those 'Needs'? If you mean control over the people in a pontificating manner? Then you are correct.

The Constitution Limits their power...they have vastly exceeded those limits toward the detriment of the people.

But then YOU were never a rugged individualist anyway. You are a DRONE...a number to those you so proudly hail...and you seem to be happy by being led by the nose by your own government. Your posts prove my very notion, and you remain notorious for it.

Why is that?

More straw. You should start a hay farm.

Or you could use facts, but we realize that isnt something you are very good at.

But they don't do that.

Obviously when they decrease income more than they decrease spending they won't, but people like you think decreasing income increases income.

Unfortunately that has never worked in the 6000 year history of the Earth lol.

The ONLY long-Term investment Government should make is getting the HELL out of our way and let the producers in this society do their thing thus promoting production/commerce instead of punishing them to fund a failed Socialist Utopia for the leeches of the same society.
