U.S. economy cannot afford shutdown

[gekaap]

50% of youse pay zero federal income tax.. and a good many of youse get a rebate on the zero youse pays. that's the facts jack.

Okay, I think we all see what you've got here. A broken record that doesn't advance.

When and if 100 percent of Americans pay a share of the Federal Income tax.. 100% of the time then you can make the arguement that the rich don't pay their share.. The rich pay a share. 50% of youse pay NO share. True story.

Got it, you can't explain your statement but this is what Rush told you to post and you're a good little sheep.

Actually, I think Willow just has a problem with projection.

Hey WillowTree, have you ever noticed how a liberal pinhead will continue to ignore the obvious, and then try to convince the rest of us that the facts just aren't true? Liberals are stuck on stupid.

Why yes,, I have noticed that. I've seen a couple of em walking around town here and they got stupid stamped on they foreheads.

I don't know if it is true or not. The economy is weakening anyways.

But this doesn't inspire confidence. And the Republicans were elected saying they were going to restore confidence in the economy.

We never have problems with Government shutdowns when Dems control the House

Of course because the Dems are always willing to spend any amount of money. No matter how much of it is Deficit spending. Just to keep bureaucrats in their jobs.

One could argue that since one of the problems with our Economy is the stress of our Debt, and the Fear that gives Business that New Big Taxes will surely have to be levied, that in fact a shut down might inspire confidence in Business people that at least someone in our Government is getting serious about balancing the budget.

If the wealthy paid their way we wouldn't be in this mess. Now the GOP wants to cut a trillion from Medicare. Is that the same trillion they gave the wealthy in tax breaks and hand outs? Now they want the poor to make up the difference? Something is terribly wrong here...

Clearly, the GOP is the enemy of the middle class. The government 'of the people' needs to start protecting 'the people'.

The wealthy"s money is not the problem. Government spending is. How is it not wrong to take anyone's money at gunpoint. How did that ever become acceptable in America? Both parties take our money by force and spend irresponsibly. I am tired of being forced to pay for their programs.

No, but because of a Democrat controlled house, we gotta shut down the Government. Y'all spent all our money, ya bastards.

Wall Street spent all the money and made the rest worthless. The tax base was devastated by outsourcing jobs that were once middle class America's. If you are going to be a lying twat ...get your lies straight.

Well unemployment, social security and medicare will not be funded. The federal government is the largest employer in the country. If they don't get a paycheck, they can't spend the money, that means the economy comes to a stand still.

It will affect the economy.

I agree that shutting down the gov. will cost, and in more ways that just money, R&D will take hits etc. which is my area of particular concern, based on how long it goes, but what else is there to do? An offer of 100 billion was met with derision, then 60 Billion drew a counter of 10 billion, that’s not negotiating.

However, the dems thought they could obfuscate, keep the smoke screen going to slide their way out of this.

Since the new budget process was written and took effect in 1974 congress, no matter who was in control, we never went without a budget, never missed a year, they were late and had some ongoing resolutions but they never went a calendar year without a budget, until last year.

The dems want to keep all of that 24% of discretionary spending they lumped in, in 09 and 10, that is why they didn’t do a budget last year, those numbers coming at exactly the same time the obamacare bill was up for its final votes was something they KNEW they could not defend, it would have wrecked their whole plan, not even Pelosi could have herded all those cats.

So they punted and here we are now they have the temerity to claim offense.

So the shutdown of 1981 is just a part of everyone's imagination?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

So you're in favor of a shutdown?

I absolutely am.

Meanwhile, President Obama, who said he was waiting for Republicans to be ready for an “adult” conversation about spending, is out in support of his own 2012 budget that calls for new outlays for Democratic pet projects and would add $1.1 trillion to the national debt next year.

Ya ever notice how you can't answer a simple question and then make some claim about 'facts' you heard on Fox Noise?

Good morning nic. Have you ever read the replies posted to this thread? I posted the national debt clock link, U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time . Here it is again. Some pinheads don't know this but, you must click on the link to see the information referenced there.

The article that I posted about this administration spending 8 times more then it has taken in came from the Huffington post; not Fox News. My reply included the link to that article. I suggest that you go back and read it so that you can make a knowledgeable, coherent reply. The reason that I used a biased liberal media outlet was to illustrate the fact that even liberals are starting to becoming upset over the incompetent leadership coming from this radical, left wing, socialist administration.

Once again a liberal has validated the premise that liberals are stuck on stupid.

More fear mongering. The big boogeyman is gonna get you! Mean while, we can afford three wars.

That is true WillowTree. But, it's not surprising when you take into account that liberals are permanently stuck on stupid. (yota said that)
