Republicans have a poor understanding of economics. They should have no place in making policy

[Dad2three]

Obama is a gangster, put in power by the Chicago mob. The crooked deals like Solyndra are designed to funnel billions in taxpayer money into the pockets of well connected crooks like Algore ($100 million in green cash)

Ya know, I hadn't heard that version of Obama Derangement Syndrome before.
Obama is a man of many colors and cohorts, isn't he?
He does it all and smirks at the same time.
What a thug.

OH MITTENS WHERE ART THOU MITTENS??
HOW COULD YOU LOSE
TO ATHUG FROM CHICAGO?

Drives you crazy just thinking about how the Republicans couldn't field any better candidates than they did.

I expect that really, the Republican party didn't really want the WH back until they had a Democrat President in the WH for eight years SO that the Republicans could then blame ALL of our debt on the Democrat.

And that's what Repubs are doing.

I think there will be a better candidate put froth this time around cause they WANT the Presidency this time.
After all, it's time for a Republican to **** things up again. You ever notice how nothing the Republicans try ever works out well for the working men and women?

Yeah, God forbid we have someone like Mitt Romney as our President! Why would we want someone who's repeatedly been successful at fixing broken organizations, understands economics, how to create jobs and has a history of working well across the aisle!

Why would we want someone who could do all that? We've got Barry!

MITTENS? Seriously? I thought he was a shoo in, what happened?? lol


Rick Perry doubles down on ‘vulture capitalist’ criticism of Mitt Romney

When it comes to the GOP battle over Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital, it appears New Hampshire was only the beginning.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) is renewing his criticism of the former Massachusetts governor as a “vulture capitalist,” arguing that Romney is trying to “paper over” the details of his tenure at the helm of Bain Capital.
“There’s a real difference between venture capitalism and vulture capitalism,” Perry told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity Tuesday night. “Venture capitalism we like. Vulture capitalism, no. And the fact of the matter is that he’s going to have to face up to this at some time or another, and South Carolina is as good a place to draw that line in the sand as any.”

Perry cited two companies in Gaffney and Georgetown, S.C., that he said had lost jobs while the venture capital firm took in millions of dollars.



He accused Romney and Bain of “picking their bones clean” rather than working to “clean up those companies, save those jobs.” ”That’s not what we’re looking for in a president of the United States,” he said. “We’re looking for someone that knows how to build jobs, create jobs.

Its so hilarious that you liberals decry that the economy is getting better than Obama.

OK, so if it is getting better, he didn't do it by raising taxes. In fact he extended the "Bush Tax Cuts".

Then you turn around and complain about tax breaks for "corporations and the wealthy". So, did Obama makes these tax breaks? Or did the Republicans magically do these tax breaks without a super majority in Congress?

Zero honesty from cons. Shocking

Zero honesty?

Are liberals not claiming that the economy is better now under Obama?

Are you claiming that Obama did not in fact extend the Bush Tax cuts?
Obama Signs Bill To Extend Bush Tax Cuts - CBS News

Who the hell is denying Obama didn't extend Bush's tax cuts? Yeah no shit he did and he shouldn't have. They have added trillions to our national debt.

Oh and the economy is better. Do you even know what the unemployment rate is now in comparison to the end of 2008? Obviously not. You are also oblivious to the fact that the investment class and the stock market is doing better now more than ever.

The investment class seems to be the only class that is doing well. Isnt that what you accuse Republicans of wanting all the time? Meanwhile the middle class has been sucking tit for 6 years. Why dont you care about the middle class, Billy Troll?

Yes, 30+ years of Reaganomics then 8 years of Bushanomics REALLY hurt the bottom 90% of US, weird you don't recognize the destruction the GOP policies put on the middle class. I guess another tax cut would fix it right?

IT'S THE DEPTH OF THE HOLE THE GOP DUG FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS THAT PUT THEM THERE. Allowing tthe nation to spend more (BORROW) in 2007 than they actually made, first time EVER in history. I guess Dubya's allowing Banksters to run America on credit for 7+ years has no consequences right?


FACTS on Dubya s great recession US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

So now you are saying 30 years+ of "Reaganomics" destroyed the middle class, so I guess that 30 years includes the 8 Clinton years. Funny how you praise Clinton and his economy, but fail to mention he had a Republican Congress that balanced a budget and kept taxes low. Can you contradict yourself anymore?

I also never stated that "another tax cut" would fix anything. Personally I think that tax rates are good right where they are. And evidently even Obama agrees with that as well, so I still do not understand what you liberals are always fuming about.

Yes, I agree that Republicans under Bush spent too much, that's exactly why they were thrown out of office. But did the Dems that took over do any better? No they didn't. They increased spending, they increased the deficit, they made things 5x worse. So its a bit laughable to listen to you libs rant about Repubs that spend too much under Bush, but give the Dems that spent even more a complete pass.


You still seem totally incapable of addressing the FACT that Obama extended the Bush Tax Cuts. I fully realize your programming does not allow you to admit that not raising income taxes is a possibility in trying to recover in this economy. Your programming only allows you to slam any idea contrary to the Agenda, or to spew out pre-programmed responses slamming Bush and Reagan.

You progressive mindless drones are so easy to predict.

 

[The Rabbi]

It's funny that libs blame "Reaganomics" or "trickle down theory" even though supply side policies essentially ended when GHW Bush renegged on his no new taxes pledge.

 

[theHawk]

Republicans only econonic solutions are deregulation and cutting taxes for corporations/the wealthy. Both of these methods do next to nothing to help the overall economy.

Regulations cost GDP 2% every year. Now even if you were irresponsible and stupid enough to undo ALL regulations for the sake of growth, you would only be boosting 2%. The growth of that is not nearly worth the chaos that would ensue.

Cutting taxes for corporations does jack shit for the economy in general. Stimuluating supply means dick if you don't stimuluate demand. The extra supply that is created does not meet any increase in demand. This means there is no increase in business just because a company has more to sell. Not only that, but cutting taxes only makes the government borrow more which means more debt. The proposed republican tax cuts would add 440 billion to our national debt.

The recent "experiment" failure in Kansas' economy and the pathetic job growth under Bush proves this.

See the republicans you people elect know this. They say they want to help you but in reality they only care about keeping the wealthy happy.

The reality is that the best way to stimulate economic growth is by stimulating the middle class. That is the driving force of our consumption based economy. Republicans have barely done anything for the middle class since Reagan.

Obama's stimulus created close to 3 million jobs. Why? Because it gave the middle class the biggest middle class tax cut since Reagan. It also extended unemployment benefits for the millions who lost their jobs against their will. This allowed them to spend money they wouldn't have otherwise spent because they were unemployed.

This is what you call demand-side economics.

Not one GOPer voted for? AND the tax cut the GOP passed after Clinton's first surplus, $700+ billion he had to veto to get 3 more surpluses, then Dubya came into office and we saw what happened? GOP kept taxes low huh? Balanced the budget? lol

Dec 6, 2010 - Allies say president 'blackmailed' into extending tax cut for wealthier Americans which may cost $4tn in lost revenue

Barack Obama is bowing to Republican demands to extend a deep tax cut for wealthier Americans, to the fury of some of the president's allies who say he has succumbed to "blackmail".

The Democratic leadership believed that provided the middle class was looked after, the Republicans would find it difficult to justify tax cuts for the wealthy. The House of Representatives, still controlled by Democrats until the new Congress is sworn in next month, passed Obama's plan by a clear majority last week. But Republicans blocked the legislation in the Senate at the weekend and said they would rather see everyone's taxes rise than agree to scrapping the cuts for the wealthy.

Some Democrats called on Obama to stand firm and let the Republicans carry the blame for the inevitable middle-class backlash. But leading Democrats say the president is backing down and has agreed to extend tax cuts for everyone. In return, the White House appears to have extracted an agreement to extend benefits for the long-term unemployed.

Historic high huh? Obviously that was before the 08 crash. That means it was declining before Obama took office. Either way it wouldn't change the fact that 11 million jobs have been created since Obama's presidency began. 3 million of those came directly from his stimulus package.

Not me we need food stamps, you know why it was started right? Christian charity is not enough, just wished people didnt abuse it

Well, I think there were abuses in the past. for instance, when I was in the service, there was a Sergeant who would trade food stamps for cash (for half their face value) and would live large buying stuff while the people who he gave the cash to bought drugs. (He later came up hot on a piss test and got an other than honorable.)

Food stamps were started as a help to farmers to keep demand for food up. It's why they are managed by the agriculture department.

I do think they are abused by companies like WalMart who pay their employees little, tell them how to apply, and then sell food using food stamps.

The workforce participation rate, which was at historic highs under Bush, has constantly gone down since Obama took office. It is STILL at and a low of 62.8% as of the end of 2014. Bush had 66+% his entire time, only started going downhill after he became a lame duck and Dems took over Congress in 2007.

The Truth hurts: Bureau of Labor Statistics Data


Do we even need to mention all percentage of people on welfare under Obama?

The only way unemployment rates went "down" under Obama is when those people LEFT the workforce and STOPPED looking for a job.

But you people cannot acknowledge that those facts, your programming won't allow it.

Historic high huh? Obviously that was before the 08 crash. That means it was declining before Obama took office. Either way it wouldn't change the fact that 11 million jobs have been created since Obama's presidency began. 3 million of those came directly from his stimulus package.

If so many jobs were created, why are there so many people still out of the workforce? Don't forget there has been a lot of population growth as well over 10 years, which is why percentage of the population in the workforce is more accurate.

Its so hilarious that you liberals decry that the economy is getting better than Obama.

It is getting better.........for Democrats ONLY.

You lazy ass Republicans won't get off your asses and go to work. Get a job, things will get better if you work.
Notice it is ONLY you Republican who whine every day about how bad things are. Get a clue. Things are bad for you cause you are lazy.

So the economy is getting better. But taxes were not raised. How do you explain this?

I point out a simple fact, and you people can't answer a simple question.

Congress raises taxes, not the President or the Senate and Congress is controlled by Republicans. No one answered your question because it's a stupid question.

Better question. If there were no jobs created (which I guess is your position) then we should be very grateful to all the ultra rich for spending their money last year to stimulate the economy.

Or do you not believe the economy is growing again? Or does the economy only expand when there is a Republican in the White House?

People like you have such weird convoluted thinking it becomes very hard to figure out just what the **** you are talking about.

So there are those like you who are ok with using slave labor (via illegals) to build their fortune.

Then again what does a programmed far left drone know about anything connected to reality?

Speaking of having a problem with reality. Now you think I have a fortune and I used slaves to get it?
You are a strange individual Kosh. Evidently jealous as well.

Get off your ass and get a job and make something of yourself instead of whining on a message board.
******* lazy Republicans.

Not me we need food stamps, you know why it was started right? Christian charity is not enough, just wished people didnt abuse it

Well, I think there were abuses in the past. for instance, when I was in the service, there was a Sergeant who would trade food stamps for cash (for half their face value) and would live large buying stuff while the people who he gave the cash to bought drugs. (He later came up hot on a piss test and got an other than honorable.)

Food stamps were started as a help to farmers to keep demand for food up. It's why they are managed by the agriculture department.

I do think they are abused by companies like WalMart who pay their employees little, tell them how to apply, and then sell food using food stamps.

My understanding why they were started was because of World war II they realized how skinny the recruits were
