The Hill: S&P credit rating analysis values spending cuts more than tax revenue

[NYcarbineer]

Have you a link to a direct quote on that? Because I've put up a specific quote by David Beers on spending cuts.

And the quotes by S&P execs regarding revenue increases have already been posted...about a million times.

And I'm posting direct quotes from David Beers that the downgrade was related to America's debt burden.

And the debt burden, and deficit that adds to it, are alleviated by higher taxes.

You people can stay in denial all you want, but unless you think the pols are going to cut 40% of the US government spending across the board in order to get to balance,

then taxes have to be involved.

 

[NYcarbineer]

You must mean in future negotiations

No, I mean you're an idiot. The GOP won't agree to tax increases, period. Why should the Democrats, who represent more of the People than the Republicans do,

simply become Republicans??

Oh no that would be someone
who pretends that the Democrats put everything on the
table, including PapaObama Care, during the last debt
ceiling negotiations

ObamaCare was never on the table

Cantor said that every time Democrats insisted on tax increases, Republicans countered by insisting on repealing Obamacare, resulting in a stalemate that eventually led Cantor and House Republicans to walk out of the talks all together.​

So Cantor is probably lying. So what's your point?

 

[Neotrotsky]

any proof

 

[NYcarbineer]

And you wouldn't?

I don't recall President Obama getting that slack.

Obama had two freakin years where the Republicans couldn't do anything to stop him.

Oh wait, we will just conveniently ignore that because it hurts Obama.

I'll ignore it because it's an outright lie.

True

it did not seem to hurt him the first two years
but Now

in the words of his former pastor of 20 years

the "chickens are coming home to roost "

 

[mudwhistle]

So this is "The Tea Party Downgrade".

The Tea Party is racist so it must be racially motivated.

 

[NYcarbineer]

any proof

Proof that Cantor was telling the truth?

No. I'm waiting for that, even though it's irrelevant in the first place.

 

[Neotrotsky]

you called him a liar
on the statement

no proof

why does that not surprise anyone

 

[jillian]

ooo a blog....Sigh smart people dont need a silly little blog to tell people what to think. We have S&P's answer as to why they downgraded our rating.

Way to be a partisan hack.

no surprises....

fact: we need both spending cuts AND an increase in revenues.

and only loony rightwingnut ideologues think otherwise.

The stimulus passed because 3 GOP senators voted for it.

 

[Neotrotsky]

Well there is always a few bad apples

You have no proof he was telling the truth, that's why I said he was probably lying. You have no credibility; he has no credibility.

 

[Neotrotsky]

hey it is your story and you can tell it anyway you want

but you made an accusation with no real proof
speaks more to your lack of honesty then mine

Wait, Obama didn't have a Democrat Congress for two years? Are you high?

The stimulus passed because 3 GOP senators voted for it.

I would also bet you think that was overwhelmingly bipartisan too.

That is done by getting the economy cranked up, not increasing the tax burden.

But the dem solution was more regulation.
