How the Republican Government shutdown works

[Dad2three]

You're too stupid to realize that paltry $400 was only done so that Barry could claim that he kept his campaign promise that he'd lower taxes for 95% of Americans.

You confusing Dubya's 2008 stimulus that 85% of the GOPers in Congress voted for BUT against Obama's that kept US out of a second GOP great depression!

 

[Oldstyle]

Austerity might not be the answer. I never said it was. What I will say is that Barack Obama's decision to go after things like the ACA and Cap & Trade legislation coupled with calls for higher taxes was the exact wrong thing to do in the midst of a recession.

Obama CUT taxes for 95% of US dumbass

"We cut taxes for 95 percent of working families."
— Barack Obama on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 in a State of the Union speech

"We cut taxes. We cut taxes for 95 percent of working families. We cut taxes for small businesses," Obama said. "We cut taxes for first-time homebuyers. We cut taxes for parents trying to care for their children. We cut taxes for 8 million Americans paying for college."

Tax cut for 95 percent? The stimulus made it so

Yeah, that $400 one time tax credit was EPIC! So you and I got a $400 tax credit...and Solyndra got 550 million! Nice job on that "stimulus", Barry!

40% OF STIMULUS WAS TAX CUTS DUMBFUK

Solyndra? Dubya's thing?

Solyndra=1% of DOE energy money

Are you really going to come on here and defend the Solyndra loan as a good move, Dad? I mean REALLY?

TARP did far more to keep us out of a depression than Obama's stimulus ever did and that was Bush's baby! The Obama stimulus was Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid handing out goodies to their folks while letting the rest of the country twist in the wind while they went chasing after the ACA.

TARP? Oh right that 5 page document Dubya wanted. Hint GOP voted against it Bubs, BUT BOTH TARP AND STIMULUS was required THANKS TO GOP FAILED POLICIES, AGAIN


40% TAX CUTS

40% AID TO COUNTIES

20% WORK PROJECTS.

Failure? Sure, wasted tax cuts that Obama HOPED to get SOME GOP support with, AGREED! Like Dubya's $3+ trillion tax cuts were a waste TOO!

What are you babbling about? The Bush Administration didn't OK Solyndra. They looked at it...decided the numbers didn't look good at all...and shelved it.

Then the guy who's running Solyndra bundles big bucks for the Obama campaign...visits the White House repeatedly once Barry' is ensconced in the Oval Office and "SHAZZAM"!...he gets millions from us taxpayers on a business plan that is AWFUL!

Solyndra! You jerks make a big deal over a small mistake. Cheney's belief that Iraq would greet us a liberators costs over 4,500 Americans their lives, and untold Billions of Dollars.

Let's talk about how much Cheney steered to Halliburton, shall we?

If Solyndra were the only "small mistake" that was made then you might have a point but it wasn't...there were numerous "green" companies that got big money from the Obama Administration only to go belly up. They ended up costing jobs...not creating them.

Nice job at trying to divert the discussion from Obama to a Vice President who's been out of office for almost eight years now. Cheney and Haliburton? That's the best you've got?

No one is clueless on that period of time. Bush was in charge, and was the commander-in-chief. The economy tanked and Iraq turned from a quagmire into a fiasco.

Don't forget, the 2009 economic crisis was a result of Bush, not Obama.

What does Iraq have to do with the economy? Are you agreeing with the other idiot who seems to think that Bush didn't pass TARP? Because if you are...then you are indeed CLUELESS!!!!!

The overall goal is to defund everything and throw granny onto the street. They don't think we need science institutions, investment or much of anything. **** roads they say!

These idiots are dumb.

I totally agree because if government isn't doing it it ain't getting done.

 

[Vandalshandle]

We would have had a higher employment number, but Trump kept firing them....

 

[Deleted member 53821]

Its strange....the Republicans control Congress now and the only tool they have in their toolbox is the threat of shutting down government

Then they are outraged when services are not available.
"What do you mean the park is closed?"

I would actually think that in a DEMOCACY that whoever has control of the legislative branch should have control of the government. That isn't true of other forms of government but I suspect that beneath this socialist attitude is a desire for those other forms of government.

 

[Vandalshandle]

You guys misunderstand. We love it when you shut down the government. Every time you do, there is a serious backlash against the republicans. It is almost like we somehow engineered it ourselves, to your disadvantage!

Go for it, dudes!

Sigh, you do realize that our government was set up so that NOBODY would have too much control over the government and that was done deliberately by the Founding Fathers? We've got a Legislative Branch, a Judicial Branch and an Executive Branch so that one person or small group of people can't force their views on the rest of the country because the three branches provide checks and balances. Of course if you have a President who decides to side step Congress and conduct business through Executive Orders then that starts to become a problem.
