Liberals--& others turn out to be the WORST parents/grandparents EVER!

[Article 15]

How much does a person making $11.50 an hour who can barely live on be taxed?

It sounds to me you want to throw the baby a blowup life preserver with a hole in it.

Again, roll them back to Reagan Era levels. Tax the guy making $11.50 an hour what he would have been taxed in 1985. This isn't very hard.

 

[Article 15]

Do you really think we can pull out of this without raising taxes for a while?

 

[oreo]

What is really funny (NOT) is that the libs are arguing over who spent what when they should be talking about how their kids are going to pay for this? It doesn't matter at this point who spent what, its here...now what???????????????

End the wars. Raise taxes. Cut spending.

That isn't even close to being enough. How much are you willing to be taxed? How much should someone making 40k a year be taxed?

Where's the cutting spending part?--:

Let me remind everyone that Barack Obama--after signing 787 BILLION in an economic stimulus that wasn't--signed off on another 450 BILLION dollars the very next week in the Ominus Bill--that was loaded with over 9000 EARMARKS--while stating this economy was in the worst economic crisis since the GREAT DEPRESSION.

Obama referred to this 450 BILLION dollars as "last years business"--because G.W. Bush wouldn't sign off on it---




450 BILLION DOLLARS IN EARMARKS & POLITICAL PAY-BACKS.

Cut the Pentagon's and every other gov't agency's budget.

Legalize and tax weed.

Go from there.

 

[Terry]

So why isn't Obama out there working on the Economy instead of still out campaigning for health care? Does not this deficit bother him? What about Jobs, how are we going to pay for this Health Care when he clearly isn't showing any concern for the deficit or jobs? TO say health care will save the economy or deficit is really kool aidish you know it and I do. So I'm really trying to figure out, what the plan is to pay for all of this? How is this country going to afford all of this? Are they banking on the illegals becoming legal therefore more taxes? Well if Jobs are scarce how are the illegals soon to be legal going to get jobs? Wouldn't they be more of a burden on our already teetering economy and deficit?

 

[Article 15]

Cut most foreign aid.

I don't know, Terry. I'm not Barack Obama nor am I one of his insiders.

Here's the thing about illegals ... they get most of the benes and barely pay jack shit. It's a huge drag. In order to get rid of that drag you need to hand them W-2's and legalize them or kick 'em all out of the country.

If there is one thing we have learned over the last 30 years it's that we aren't kicking them out.

Thanks but it aint my generation in power right now. People my age are just now becoming eligible to run for the Senate.

You should be yelling at the middle aged and old peeps running things, not me.

So according to you-- with your massive intellect in politics--there are no young people that are conservative & they all think like you do.----

Uh--da--duh--da--duh--da--duh--da--duh

What are you talking about?

You just tried to lay the blame for our debt on my generation. It's laughable at best.

I am not trying to lay the total DEBT on your generation. Obviously--our grandparents fought in WW2 that created some of the debt, my husband fought in Viet Nam another debt, & of course 9/11--two insuing wars plus the cost of hurricane Katrina has created debt.

But your generation is the FIRST in history--that has added more DEBT than all of the above--because you wanted Government to take care of your health care needs. You elected a guy--that is truly a socialist--promised the masses the moon & stars & has delivered to you--your wants---& has given the bill to your kids & grandkids.

Is this a conversation about the debt and ways to get out of it or is a conversation about what the Obama Administration is doing?

Basically, the adminstration has done nothing to ease my fears of the debt. They have plans to end the war in Iraq but I doubt the follow through with it.

If he tries to end the war y'all (not meaning you specifically, just the right in general) will flip out.

If they try to raise taxes y'all will flip out.

If they try to cut the Pentagon's budget y'all will flip out.

If they try to legalize weed y'all will flip out.

If they legalize all that are here now, don't you think that even more will flood in? Can our system handle that? Article all I'm asking is What if our President really does want to kill our country and turn it into another Cuba, Venezuela, or Argentina. Would you take issue of that? Obama's actions to date hasn't given anyone to hang their hat on that he even cares about the Deficit or the People. He has shown time after time he is catering to select groups and not the people.

All I am saying is What if even 50% of what people think of Obama is TRUE...would you take issue...would anyone else that supports obama take issue if it were true? Do they think just because they are a card carrying member that this will give them a pass?

I just don't get it!

I have been trying to listen to the Plan this WH has for our economy, and jobs. The only thing I have seen so far is a few miniature band-aides. No serious attempts but rather excuses to do this or go here.

I just got through telling you that my generation isn't in power right now.

Nobody my age is in the senate and I think the youngest congressman is like 27 and he's pretty much all alone.

And last time I checked the youth vote doesn't make up anywhere near a majority of the voting electorate.

If your husband fought in Nam then you should be looking in the mirror and blaming yourself not pointing the finger at me, lady. We're (my generation) still a few years away from inheriting this mess that you mother fuckers created.

 

[Terry]

You have to agree that this was not the time to even attempt to pass a hc bill. His number one job is the defense of this country, and economy/deficit plays an important roll in our Country's safety. To me it looks like he has gone out of his way to avoid jobs, economy and our defense.

Bring the troops home, I'm fine with that, and I'm sure many others would be too, if this President is serious about cutting spending. Cut other Federal Jobs, privatize the post office, down scale gov. jobs. That will save a hell of a lot more then raising taxes! However he isn't serious, but rather seems to be going in the opposite directing placing more burdens on our economy and deficit.

 

[uscitizen]

What is really funny (NOT) is that the libs are arguing over who spent what when they should be talking about how their kids are going to pay for this? It doesn't matter at this point who spent what, its here...now what???????????????

As with any solving addiction the first step is admitting the problem exists and taking responsibility for ones actions.

Denial and lying helps nothing.

Yeah that is fine, every congressman/woman/president over the last 50 years or more has had a hand in it. Obama and Bush have taken it to extreme..Ok so now...since I've placed the Blame, and Obama has over and over and over again...where is he now?

Enough of Rep, Dem bullshit. This is our Country, you want to do away with our Constitution? Do you subscribe to our Constitution as being too old and out dated?

Where is this President on Jobs. You want to cut the deficit, you cut Gov. Jobs not create more. This is only common sense. That is all I'm asking is some ******* honest common sense and for people around here stop acting like this is their Favorite Team and stop blaming the refs for bad calls. For Gods sake don't you think it is time for this shit to end and really do what is right for this Country?

Do you think all the handouts has helped the poor over the years? My gosh, go to some inner city neighborhoods does that look like our tax dollars being spent wisely?

I'm all for helping but not handing out. Don't you think that there is a better way?

Why is it that you want to give so much power to any group? Do you not see the danger in that even if it is your team? One day your team won't be on the field you know then what? Will it be more blame the other side, let me see if I can stick this on them. Come on, are we children here?

It is time everyone stop, go to a mirror look at themselves and tell themselves to "Grow the **** Up"

I'm done because you all will never care for anything but yourself. Some actually do care for this Country and not a freaking TEAM.

Our system is handling them right now ... only they aren't paying much in. Will more come if they are legalized? Probably unless we start enforcing current laws or if the legalization is part of comprehensive reform that includes real border security.

But to put it bluntly, no, I don't think he's trying to kill the country on purpose. I think he's a well intentioned man who inherited the biggest mess of any POTUS in the history of our nation and he's doing his best to pull us out. I agree that his priorities need some adjusting but I in no way subscribe to the theory that he's trying to tank the country.

What if you are wrong and he is? How do you square adding more gov. jobs, more spending then any other president to include Bush and he spent a lot, but Obama has spent way more and now added a massive HC bill on top.

If we had a balanced federal budget with a large surplus I think HC can be swallowed but I cannot square anything he has done thus far as being an honest attempt. Not with who he has advising him.

It has nothing to do with him having a D by his name either. Article I would be typing the same damn thing if it he had an R behind his name.

This doesn't square, it's like trying to put a square in a circle peg then telling everyone you did it before. Yeah right, I'm not fooled.

I pray I'm wrong, and but my common sense is showing me danger ahead.

The stimulus and healthcare are his two big pieces of new spending. The stimulus (in theory) is a one time deal and the healthcare bill is a fraction of the defense budget annually ... about 100 billion. Healthcare reform was coming no matter what ... I wish he had focused on jobs first and like I said it would be nice to see him tweak his priorities.

And honestly, I think the theory that Obama is trying to kill the country has about as much merit as the theory that Bush was going to install a theocracy and declare martial law in Novbember of 2008 to stay in power. That's glennbeck/michael moore crazy talk.

[uscitizen]

I think it's much more likely that Obama just doesn't know what to do.

He is in between Iraq and a hard place.

My vote , pull out of Iraq NOW, and Afganistan within 6 months.
Cut spending on the military by 50% and most other things by 20%.
Raise taxes esp on the most wealthy since they can afford it without starving or becoming homeless. Tax non earned money ie capital gains at 40%.
Make all medicare/govt money fraud a major felony and aggressively pursue the fraudsters
Increase penalties for corps breaking the law to 200% of whatever gross gains they realized due to the crime.
Of course this will extend the recession by a few more years...

Ohh and cut all elected officials future retirement benefits by 20% as well.
And put their medical care in with the rest of us.
And require any new congressional spending to be approved by a 2/3 majority in both houses.
And of course a balanced budget within 2 which must be reduced by 5% per year after that until it is reduced by 40%.
