House GOP Declares Unanimously: Bush Tax Cuts Did Not Blow Up The Budget

[NYcarbineer]

If tax cuts don't cost revenue and add to the deficit, according to conservative mythology,

why was the GOP demanding the extension of the payroll tax be paid for?

eh? What did they want to pay for, exactly? eh? eh? eh? lol

 

[jreeves]

What is that resolution and this stupid thread about anyway ?

What purpose does it serve ?

To put Republican on record defending their disaster.

You do realize they don't have to vote don't you?

 

[jreeves]

Every House Republican voted Thursday to reject the proposition that the Bush tax cuts added to the deficit.

House GOP Declares Unanimously: Bush Tax Cuts Did Not Blow Up The Budget

"When the Republicans passed the Bush Tax Cuts, they told us that they would pay for themselves," Peters said in an official statement. "We now know that this added over $2 trillion to the deficit and by forcing an up or down vote on this amendment, I'm giving House Republicans the opportunity to recognize this fact."

House Dem To Force Vote: Did Bush Tax Cuts Add To The Deficit

------------------------------------------------------

Republicans voted unanimously to rewrite history and it worked. History has been rewritten. They are amazing.

Tax cuts didn't cause the deficit problem government spending did. Did you know that tax revenues were higher during the first three years of the Bush Presidency than they have been during the first three years of the Obama Presidency? So how is that? How do you have tax cuts and have more revenue?

Yet even though there has been less tax revenue, government expenditures have exploded in the last three years.

And with Bush's tax cuts, we still managed to get in the worst economic situation since the Great Depression. Did you know that on top of the Bush tax cuts, Obama has cut even more taxes? The stimulus was 1/3 tax cuts. So, where are those tax cut-fueled jobs?

The Bush tax cuts didn't cause the lastest recession it was the housing bubble bursting. Again someone trying to state things I never said. I stated that the "Bush tax cuts" coincided with the end of a recession.

That the threat of new taxes and tax policy uncertainity has caused corporate America to withhold capital which has fueled a stubborn unemployment rate.

Actually, the "Housing Bubble" was made by Wall Street. Taking over the mortgage market from Freddie/Fannie, unregulated and tossing out mortgages like candy corns. Insuring them and collecting on insurance which they knew were no good. Wall Street knew that deregulation gave them the opportunity to soak the world and they did. This is why they invest in Republican politicians. They want more of these kinds of opportunities.

YOU ARE F...KING IGNORANT~!~


1) $8 trillion in tax losses due to
a) dot.com bust had $5 trillion in market losses.
people like Obama started in 2002 to write off their taxes these losses.
Obama each year writes off $100,000 against his tax bill
b) Do you remember 9/11??? $2 trillion in business,market,economic losses being
written off against tax payments.
c) Are you forgetting the WORST HURRICANE SEASONS in history $1 trillion in losses
destroyed businesses, lost jobs..
All toll every year for 30 years this $8 trillion is BEING written off by Obama and other
tax payers against the tax bill at the rate of $267 BILLION a year since 2002!
BUT YOU NEVER MENTION THAT!
2) Do you remember 9/11? The Anthrax attacks?
Since 2003 Homeland Security A BRAND NEW AGENCY has cost $640 billion MORE
AND YOU IGNORANTLY FORGET THAT! All because of 9/11!
Do you remember your feelings on 9/12/2001? Millions of Americans were pissed!
3) Let's talk about IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN!!!
a) Did you forget that from 1991 to 2003 Saddam BROKE the 1991 CEASE FIRE
1,000s of times? Did you KNOW THAT THE CEASE FIRE was JUST THAT?
b) Did you know the military victory was accomplished in less the 3 months?
BUT TRAITORS CHEERLEADERS LIKE YOU!! YOU OBAMA,REID all didn't want
for PURE POLITICAL GAIN the USA TO WIN!
SO YOU and TRAITORS like YOU encouraged. CHEERED! Every day in the news
encouraged these barbarians and you CHEERED them to kill US troops, 87,000
Iraqis and cost ANOTHER $800 billion .. ALL because you and these
CHEERLEADING STATEMENTS Encouraged, cheered on the prolonging of conflict!
DISGUSTING !

Durbin (D) "must have been done by Nazis, Soviets --action of Americans
in the treatment of their prisoners.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D) "War is lost",
U.S. Rep. Murtha(D) "Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,”
Senator Kerry(D) "American soldiers going into the homes of Iraqis in the
dead of night, terrorizing kids and children."
Senator Obama(D) .."troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians,"

ADD IT UP IDIOT!
$267 billion a YEAR NOT coming in tax revenue due to dot.com/9/11/hurricanes!
$ 1.5 TRILLION going OUT because traitors LIKE YOU CHEERED LIKE the above!

SO AGAIN where is your CONSCIENCE?
Where is your integrity?
WHERE IS your honesty?

WHEN you totally ignorantly refuse like an idiot ostrich burying your head to
RECOGNIZE that $1.5 trilion going OUT because of traitors like you and
$267 billion times 8 years (2004- 2011) or nearly $2.1 trillion in TAX WRITE OFFS like what Obama has been taking at the rate of $100,000 personally a year..
RECOGNIZE THAT $2.1 Trillion NOT coming in PLUS $1.5 trillion going out that
is nearly $4 trillion and YOU evidently DON"T REMEMBER !

Did the 2000 Dot.com BUST Happen?
FACT:Faced a RECESSION that while officially starting 3/2001 the Dot.com bust of Clinton, which caused the equity value of NYC-based dot-coms, which was closely negatively related to the demand by dot-coms for office space, in second-quarter 2001 was one-third the value of a year earlier and one-seventh the value of two years earlier. Manhattan commercial office vacancy rates in second-quarter 2001 were nearly twice the level of a year earlier.
Then, in August, NYC private-sector jobs fell by a seasonally adjusted 8,200 jobs, the steepest decline in more than
five years (total jobs fell by 10,300). The securities industry shed 1,600 jobs.

Did 9/11 happen???
Faced 9/11 economic losses $2 trillion which included lost tax revenue.
500,000 lost jobs, 3 days of no airline flights, $500 billion in lost property tax revenues
$400 billion in aid directly to 9/11.
Wall Street shut down 10 days-- never happened even after 12/7/1943!
$400 to $600 billion in direct loans, lost tax revenue, lost jobs!!!
Counting the value of lives lost as well as property
damage and lost production of goods and services, losses already exceed $100 billion.Including
the loss in stock market wealth -- the market's own estimate arising from expectations of lower corporate profits and higher discount rates for economic volatility --
the price tag approaches $2 trillion which included tax losses!!!
The Cost of September 11

Did 9/11 happen?
Did $2 trillion in losses OCCUR?

Why are the House Democrats doing this shit?

WTF does it accomplish? Or are they 12 years old?

To put the Republican Party on record for something they want to blame on this president. It's how politics work.

They just did what the Repub House has been doing since they took office. Yes, its to put the Repubs on-record as being either clueless or partisan hacks for the upcoming elections.

The GOP has serious memory problems = incompetence:
Just so we don't forget who has the expertise in ******* up economies and budgets

1. TABOR is Coming by Grover Norquist and Koch Bros sells out state governments, public schools,SRS services etc etc to private industry = Grab Your Wallets!
Beware: TABOR Is Coming | Dollars & Sense

2. Bailing out The Reagan/Bush Savings and Loan Heist aka home loan scandal sent the economy out the window costing taxpayers many many $$ trillions (Cost taxpayers $1.4 trillion), Plus millions of jobs, loss of retirement plans and loss of medical insurance.
The Bush family and the S&L (Savings and Loan) Scandal

3. Bailing out the Bush/Cheney Home Loan Wall Street Bank Fraud cost consumers $ trillions, millions of jobs, loss of retirement plans and loss of medical insurance. Exactly like the Reagan/Bush home loan scam. Déjà vu can we say. Yep seems to be a pattern.
What is the difference between a Ponzi scheme and a housing bubble? | Dollars & Sense

4. Bush/Cheney implied many financial institutions were at risk instead of only 3? One of the biggest lies perpetrated to American citizens. Where did this money go? Why were some banks forced to take bail out money?
"Good Billions After Bad"


5. Tax cuts m= the ENTITLEMENT program for the wealthy which do nothing to make an economy strong or produce jobs. Tax cuts are a tax increase to others in order to make up the loss in revenue = duped again.

Still A Bad Idea – Bush Tax Cuts aka The ENTITLEMENT program for the wealthy at the expense of the middle class = duped one more time.
Still a Bad Idea | Dollars & Sense

6. In the end big debt and super duper bailouts were the results which does not seem to bother Republicans, as long as they are in power.

In fact, by the time the second Bush left office, the national debt had grown to $12.1 trillion:

* Over half of that amount had been created by Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy.

* Another 30% of the national debt had been created by the tax cuts for the wealthy under Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

• Fully 81% of the national debt was created by just these three Republican Presidents.
Social Security Q&A | Dollars & Sense

7. Starting in 2003, George W. Bush destroyed the world economy by encouraging U.S. banks to make loans to those who could not afford them, through schemes such as the "American Dream Downpayment Initiative".

Also through the destruction of oversight, such as lawsuits to prevent state securities laws from being enforced on Bush's watch.

Once Bush's policies led to their inevitable result of economic collapse, the United States found itself in a situation where it had to take on debt in order to restore the economy.

House GOP Declares Unanimously: Bush Tax Cuts Did Not Blow Up The Budget

Gee.....the Republicans surely are hard-at-work, this early in the new year.....with a Proposition!!!!

Yeah.....those new 2010 Teabagger congress-members are really tackling the tough-ones.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Gee, there's a surprise. A bunch of Republicans deny another Republican did something wrong. And a bunch of Democrats agree a Republican did do something wrong.

Hey.....the FACTS are the FACTS.​

December 06, 2007​

"Virtually every economics Ph.D. who has worked in a prominent role in the Bush Administration acknowledges that the tax cuts enacted during the past six years have not paid for themselves--and were never intended to.

.....I decided to find out what Arthur Laffer thought.

Laffer is a bona fide economist with a doctorate from Stanford. He's also largely responsible for the Republican belief that tax cuts pay for themselves. Now 67, Laffer runs economic-consulting and money-management firms in Nashville. About the best I could get out of him on the question of whether the Bush tax cuts have paid for themselves was "I don't know."

THE ART O' THE PLASTIC??!!!
