Not you progressives. You are right on schedule. I'm talking to the others



Does it bother you that during these times of trouble and unemployment
the number of people working for the government has increased 14%?

Does it bother you that the hourly wage of private industry is $27.00/hour
while that of government workers is $39.00/hour, and they get many more benefits?

Does it bother you that for the first time there are more union workers
inside the government than there are in the private sector?( which should
be illegal)

Does it bother you that for the first time, the government is paying more
out in union benefits than the private sector is?

You beginning to see why andy stearn is the most frequent visitor at
the white house?

wonder why china has all the products to sell here? the government
doesn't produce a single product. pretty soon the whole country
will be doing nothing except sitting around sucking at the obama teat
thinking it's an entitlement.

I am coming to the end of my journey at the right time. I got to see
america in her greatness.


your only hope? unelect every member of the congressional progressive
caucus.All members are members of the Democratic Party or caucus with
the Democratic Party. There are currently 82 total declared Progressives
including 79 voting Representatives, 2 non-voting Delegates, and 3 Senators.

don't forget Nancy Pelosi - Left the Caucus when Elected House Minority Leader

also send the socialist dude back to kenya

then you might salvage a country before it's just a 3rd rate country with a
footnote or an asterick indicating former significance.
 
The current state of America is very alarming. Instead of getting better, it seems to get a little bit worse every day. We are in trouble here and nobody really seems to care. This administration and Congress is killing our once great nation.

It would help if you provided links containing the facts upon which you rely. While I don't doubt some of your information is accurate, like anything else these days, there's probably more to each of the above than simply expressed.

Exactly. All I've heard for the last 17 months whenever something goes wrong or not according to "the plan" Obama's got for America is "we inherited it....It's all Bush's fault!"
I'm about sick of that fucking line and so is the rest of the Nation.
 
Welcome to Obama's America....Finally Michele Obama can feel PROUD of HER country.
We will not be able to overcome what this administration is doing to change the country to be what they envision when you have the likes of Ed Shultz and the rest on MSNBC telling us every day how Obama has done so much to turn the economy and the country around.Big Government,Big Government,Big Government......Hmmm,Hmmmm,Hmmmm.

you had a point until this when you turned into a partisan loon. both parties are responsible for the mess we are in

Where is the increase? Department of Defense is involved in two wars, Homeland Security is recently created. Good to see someone hiring

Does it bother you that the hourly wage of private industry is $27.00/hour
while that of government workers is $39.00/hour, and they get many more benefits?

Your numbers don't compare like jobs only average salaries. Since the Government primarily hires workers with degrees and has contracted out low skilled labor jobs, I would expect the Government average to be higher. When comparing similar job titles, Government pay is less

Does it bother you that for the first time there are more union workers
inside the government than there are in the private sector?( which should

What difference does it make? Government workers get fired if they strike

wonder why china has all the products to sell here? the government

Makes no sense at all. China labor is at 10% what they pay in the US. That is why they sell cheaper products here. China is also communist and has a higher percentage of Government workers than we do.


So do you actually have a point to this thread?

If he had wanted to do that, he would have nationalized the big investment houses, AIG, and General Motors. He would have insisted on a universal health care plan.

Next?
 
right. like bush and the repubs in control his first six years didn't grow the government :cuckoo:

Tell us how Bush grew the government.

1) creation of DHS

more will come if you keep up with stupid questions

You fricken DUPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All he did was create a cabinet level post and streamlined the budgetary process for several ALREADY EXISTING GOVERNMENT AGENCIES...But hey...don't let facts get in your way...continue to make a fool out of yourself!!!!!:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Actually, Kim Kardashian starring in the next Tomb Raider movies bothers me more then unsubstantiated claims for an OP that strongly sounds like it was cribbed from a chain e-mail meant to panic people with disinformation.

They all grow the bureaucracy, based on what they're dealing with at the time. In addition to the DHS, which involved combining many existing agencies under that one umbrella and expanding the authorities and staff of each, new subagencies within DHS have been formed, now employing a quarter of a million people. Also, Bush was big on faith-based programs, to-wit:

President George W. Bush added the Office of Faith-Based Community Initiatives to the EOP. The office works with state and local governments, businesses, and the nonprofit sector to encourage faith-based community service. Bush also established several Centers for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in the Departments of Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, and Education. The agency in the EOP coordinates efforts across these cabinet agencies.

Added agencies going all the way back to Eisenhower are found here:

Big Government Under the Bush Administration

Big Government Under the Bush Administration
Written by Richard M. Ebeling
Sunday, 16 November 2008 00:00
During the recent presidential campaign, a persistent question was whether the election of the Democratic candidate threatened a major growth in government spending. As a benchmark for future comparison, it is worthwhile to take a look at by how much the federal government has grown over the last eight years under the Bush Administration.

When President George W. Bush entered the White House in January 2001, the federal government had total revenues of slightly more than $2.03 trillion and expenditures of $1.79 trillion, leaving a budget surplus of slightly less than $240 billion.

The following graph traces the growth in federal government tax receipts and expenditures and resulting surpluses or deficits over the last eight years.

How federal spending has climbed since 2001 - USATODAY.com


By Richard Wolf, USA TODAY
President Bush and the Republican-led Congress have increased spending substantially since Bush took office in 2001 (Story, 1A). In those five years, spending has risen faster than at any time since the Vietnam War. Here are eight of the ways that happened:
 
You see, Philip, you are full shit.

Spending Under President George W. Bush | Mercatus

During his eight years in office, President Bush oversaw a large increase in government spending. In fact, President Bush increased government spending more than any of the six presidents preceding him, including LBJ. In his last term in office, President Bush increased discretionary outlays by an estimated 48.6 percent.
 
The current state of America is very alarming. Instead of getting better, it seems to get a little bit worse every day. We are in trouble here and nobody really seems to care. This administration and Congress is killing our once great nation.

I'm about sick of that fucking line and so is the rest of the Nation.

Sorry Patek, but WE INHERITED IT, AND IT'S FUCKING BUSH'S FAULT... I don't see Obama reverberating this all over the way you claim, but if he did he'd be spot on.

What you all need to wrap yourselves around is the fact that the country was in precipitous decline when O took office, and no matter who the fuck got elected, we'd have similar results in economic and deficit figures... In fact it's hard to believe anyone would be doing any better, based on the leaps and bounds we've made toward recovery in the last year and a half.
