kootchmanMemberHe has a plan. It’s been in circulation for months… it was a 54 point plan… I know. I know.. it doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker so liberals won’t read it. There are, tax loophole eliminations, lowered corporate tax rates, simplified tax code,…so corporations have some idea of the business environment, very specific plans to reform entitlements and social security. Obamas last budget he submitted to congress… guess what the vote was?
JoB….??? Guess?
President Obama’s budget suffered a second embarrassing defeat Wednesday, when senators voted 99-0 to reject it.
Coupled with the House’s rejection in March, 414-0, that means Mr. Obama’s budget has failed to win a single vote in support this year
NOT ONE SINGLE VOTE, NOT EVEN FROM HIS OWN PARTY!!!!!
You guys are too too funny!!!
The White House has held its proposal out as a “balanced approach” to beginning to rein in deficits. It calls for tax increases to begin to offset higher spending, and would begin to level off debt as a percentage of the economy by 2022. It would produce $6.4 trillion in new deficits over that time.
Now, why do you think the Democratically controlled Senate, which is holding up the show won’t submit one?

socamrParticipantUm, because with the Republicans filibustering everything in sight, the Dems control the Senate the way I control you?
Simple question: Do you think the Republicans would rather see America recover from the Bush-created recession (Americans back to work, profits up for everyone), or do you think they would rather see Obama limited to one term?
Considering that the Senate majority leader came out directly in favor of the second choice, it’s not a hard question to answer.

And therein lies the difference between R’s and D’s. I would rather see both. R’s think Obama policies are bad for the country – they really do. Nothing more.
While there would obviously be some short term gain by pumping billions into a stimulus they think it would be short-lived. Obama would get a bump, and in four years we would be SOL – worse off than we are today.
Also, how is this a “Bush-created recession”? This was a Global Financial Crisis caused by greedy bankers creating CDOs to take advantage of the ill-conceived government idea that everyone should own a home. Does Nixon get credit for the moon launch because it happened under his watch?

JoBParticipantSmitty…
“This was a Global Financial Crisis caused by greedy bankers creating CDOs to take advantage of the ill-conceived government idea that everyone should own a home.”
well.. that’s one version
the more educated version talks about a little racket called derivatives where banks get to sell their bad paper to retirement programs as top of the line securities…
insured from all loss by the big insurance companies and federal guarantees
and an administration who didn’t bother to enforce the even regulations that were in place…

socamrParticipantFor those with short memories:
“The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, quoted in National Journal, November 4, 2010
Remind me again of the difference between R’s and D’s, and how R’s genuinely believe the problem is with policies and not with Obama….

kootchmanMemberThe less educated version would be to put this on the banks… the more educated version would be the banks were given a green light to bundle and sell by the federal government. Encouraged to do it so. Mitch, baby, you were sooo soooo right…. it is the most important objective. Nothing wrong with calling em like ya see em. It didn’t take long to see where this train wreck was going, we knew after two years and Obamacare it was a hopeless cause. Our non transparant, document hiding, closed door Big Pharma meetings, exception ridden AHCA exclusions, record ear marks, union preferential stimulus, crony capitalism loans… were the hallmarks of of a two year old administration. The promise of the most transparant government would get some daylight from congressional subpeonas…. Dept of Justice yet to comply… stimulus money only to union dominated organizations.. not the lip service given to small business and start-ups. Gotta go with Mitch on this one… Suspend Davis Bacon for the duration so more labor is used… instead of the now proven corruption of union contracting for infrastructure.. See how FDR did it. The most visited lobbyist to this white House> AFL-CIO and Big Pharma. Remember the stump speeches… “the end of lobbying” was one of the many Obama promises. The rest of the 92 per cent… screw em!

JoBParticipantkootch..
“the more educated version would be the banks were given a green light to bundle and sell by the federal government. Encouraged to do it so.”
and what administration “encouraged” them to do so? Not. passed the law that allowed them to do so but encouraged them to do so?
even Greenspan didn’t think they would allow greed to eat their own house.
and you want to put those clowns back in charge :(
