Ann Romney: 'Going to be cuts made to a lot of programs people aren't going to like'

[Katzndogz]

Let's hope that the first program to go is the expensive and wasteful program that tries to force feed kids garbage in schools.

Duhkhota says, Why cut anything when we still have rich people to pay all the bills?
Oh, except that nation defense budget...for fuck sake, what do we need with national defense when we've got two oceans protecting us?
The only thing keeping a unicorn out of every garage and a pot of rainbow stew simmering away in every kitchen is those nasty conservatives.

1. Rich people have gamed the system and aren't paying their fair share of taxes to Uncle Sam. Make them pay their share.

2. Eisenhower warned us about the Military Industrial Complex - and he was sure right. Cut the military budget in half.

3. Allow all Bush tax cuts to expire. All of them.

4. Stop with all the crazy austerity bullshit until the economy gets stronger. Bush used government spenting to get him out of recession - but Congress won't allow Obama to do that.

What makes you say that Lakhota?

40% isn't enough for them?

It's thanks to those "rich people" that the majority of US citizens have jobs. Stop biting the hand that feeds you.

Ok....I know this is an old thread that is being bumped......but why do conservatives think that putting more people in dire straits....that is, screwing with Medicare, SS, the Public Assistance system.....and letting these people rely on anemic charities, suffer in silence or just plain die off is good for the country, the economy, or the GOP's political aspirations?

What people have to realize is that Conservative policy is what got us here.....the Reagan economics policies have taken us from being able to pay for our programs and keeping the National Debt to a minimum.....to exploding National Debt and shitty wages and benefits for way too many people that now can't be relied on to pay for that debt through taxation.

This is what pandering to the Conglomerate, marginalizing the workforce, busting private sector unions, and Free Trade Agreements have done. It turned America from a country where very few people needed government help to one where 47% of the population(the vast majority of whom are working full time) need food stamps, Medicaid, and/or housing subsidies to survive.

And Conservatives still think the answer is to tighten the noose around the workforce yet again and give more to the conglomerate, to make life harder for people who have worked hard all their lives and contributed faithfully to the system of SS and Medicare, and to keep spending like madmen on our military....which is already more expensive than the next 10 country's military budgets....COMBINED! To keep giving more and more to our wealthiest and most powerful people at the expense of everyone else.

It's going to cause our slow swirl down the economic toilet to accelerate. More people with less money means less buying power, less buying power means less demand, less demand means less commerce, less commerce means less profits.....and that cycle will continue.

But, the responsibility to reverse this cycle lies with our private sector.....government can help....but it's up to the private sector to make a conscious decision to accept lower profits and personal gain in the short term to actually CREATE JOBS that will ensure their profits in the long run....but given the history of our private sector the past thirty years? I'm not holding my breath.

That's the thing....Conservatives keep bawling about Socialism, Marxism and Communism.....but it's these policies that actually encourage those ideologies to flourish.

This is exactly spot on and cannot be argued. There is no way any R politician or rw voter can deny these very basic facts - that R&R want to take us back to the ReaganBushBush fiasco.

Its also why the R has made up lie after lie about Obama - they don't have truth to hold up to the voter so it has been one crazy lie after another about the president.

Ask any rw here to PROVE the idiotic Obama lies and all you get are more lies, name calling and really stupid insults. And, earlier in this thread, incredibly, one wants to see opposing words actually banned from the site!

Oh, don't worry. I'm sure that if the Romney's are crowned king and queen, they'll expect poor kids to eat cake.

I don't like Ann Romney. She acts like a stuck up witch. She has, "I am better than you", written all over her. What an awful first lady she would make.

At least we got a good first lady when we got stuck with W. Laura Bush was very sweet and seems like a nice person. Thank God we will be done with Romney and his snooty wife as of tomorrow!!! Yeah!!!

Hmm. That's interesting. I haven't noticed that about Ann.

Although I do find it funny that you mentioned Laura Bushed and totally skipped over Michelle Obama. No worries.. I would've too.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Agree about Laura Bush and, Michele Obama has worked so very hard for our kids and our vets and their families.

How telling is it that the Rs hate her for that.

If Mitt is elected, vets and their families will lose what little headway they have made. Mitt wants to take their medical care away from them and the pubpots agree. Sad.

You're right. Mitt has to scrap the "little headway" Obama has made, and actually do something to help those people.

The Big mooch is the worst pretender to being first lady that we have EVER had. We've never had a first lady to lumber across the stage on national television and ridicule an Olympic champion before.

It is like a bad dream come true, Ann Romney explaining the policies that will be put in place, should her husband win the election in November. There’s going to be cuts, in programs and people won’t like it.

Why on earth would the wife of a so-called experienced businessman, who claims he has a reputation for creating jobs when in reality he outsourced them to China, be speaking to American families and digging in the knife?

Why would Ann Romney love rubbing salt in the wounds of many bankrupt Americans, many homeless Americans, the jobless, the disabled and the elderly in an almost boastful fashion say this to “you people”?

But no cut to YOUR taxes, Ann...

Got it.

And the leftwing, moonbat meltdown continues.... Wednesday morning is going to be sooooooo awesome.

Old school and very blatant. I am going to consider going to the mods and asking that you be banned.

I know that you are flooding the board.

NO, actually, it's allowed. Sorry. The rest of us can vote to take away your shit any time we want.

That's not socialism, it's democracy.

Now, I think that there are good reasons to allow wealth. As an incentive, as an organizing tool.

When it's abused, the rest of us seriously need to snap that back.

Otherwise you get a society where the rich harvest the poor for transplant organs.

That’s called tyranny. It does not matter if that tyranny comes from the despot or from the masses, it is just as wrong. Of course, you don’t see anything wrong with it because no one is burning your house down just as you don’t see anything wrong with your bigotry because it is someone else that receives the bigotry.

I see nothign wrong with it because I know history, and that societies that have no middle class, just the very rich and the very poor, end up badly. See Iran, 1979, Cuba 1959, Russia 1917, France 1789.

Interesting that 3 of the 4 countries you mention are worse off now than they were, perhaps with the exception of Russia who has moved towards Capitalism.
You could add China too if you like.

I know where you come from little girl.

I've patterned you for quite a while.

Do you want me to out you?

 

[WillowTree]

There are going to be cuts, people aren't going to like them. That's a fact. Even if Obama wins, by year 2, there will be cuts. He won't like them, neither will those effected. That is a fact. It's unavoidable, regardless of who wins.

I cannot see obama signing any legislation that interrupts his redistribution efforts.

 

[WillowTree]

Lakhota what would you cut to balance the budget?

I would cut the defense budget in HALF.

I would allow Bush tax cuts to expire.

Shows how stupid you really are. Mindless drivel.

Well, I was talking about Republicans. Michelle Obama has been a terrific first lady. I think it's disgraceful that she has been treated so badly by the right.

I was trying to point out that I don't dislike Ann Romney because of her husband. And mentioned Laura Bush to support that. That's all. Nothing untoward.

You are an ass hole. That is one of the reason I cannot stand you right wing extremists. You put down Mrs. Obama because you don't like her husband. The left did not do that to Laura Bush. Why don't you grow up, you jerk??
