A great find by Jack Liberty:
In tonight “Talking Points” segment, he argued that government spending is a bad idea to revitalize the economy because its cost will add to the deficit.
Fine so far, but he then says that Obama should push tax cuts to individuals and businesses because that wouldn’t add to the deficit.
According to Wikipedia, O’Reilly finished university, but for some reason he doesn’t understand that if government A cuts 100 million in taxes and nothing in spending, and government B doesn’t cut taxes but adds 100 million in spending, they’ll both be indebted by the same ammount.
Glenn Beck is very emotional and incapable of basic math. It is good he is an entertainer.
Sorry, the grammar and spelling errors are because of this stupid touchpad that I can’t disable in Win7 due to lack of driver support from Synaptix. Grrr..
History simply doesn’t support the moronic claims made here by the right wing know it all know nothings.
It is always so easy to throw dirt.
I still haven’t seen anyone answer my question from #11.
Why does the government need “more” money in the first place?
#24 LibertyLover
Because asshats like you ran us into the dirt with your wars and endless profit for big business courtesy of the Republican party. Well the bill has arrived and someone has to pay it. Unless you think it is ok to skip out on your debt?
I’m paying more than my fair share how about you cough up yours and quit your fucking bitching????
#25, I’m sorry, but until you learn to show a little respect, you’ll not get any satisfaction from comments such as that.
If you wish to try again, and carry on a civil conversation instead of attacking people who don’t agree with you, I’ll be happy to respond.

It sucks when someone gives you the truth in an answer to a stupid question and it doesn’t fit within your retarded thinking pattern doesn’t it?
All I have to say is you have to consider O’Reilly as a comedian.
16, Raster, Presidents have little to no control over our country’s economy. The House of Representatives holds the purse strings. The only influence Presidents have is their tax policies but there’s usually a delayed effect.
If Presidents had as much influence as you naively believe, then no outgoing President would allow the country’s economy go in the crapper as part of their legacy.
19, Theone, If nothing else, the raising of taxes is going to foster continued high unemployment. Obama now realizes that tax cuts are the solution to economic recovery.
25, J, The Democrat-controlled congress could have ended those wars as early as late 2006. I suppose it’s the Republican’s fault that you guys can’t pass universal health care? Good grief. You guys have had the majority and all you can do is play the blame game.
To answer Liberty Lover’s question, we don’t need any more money. Times are tough and we need to cut all the entitlement programs and cut people’s taxes (starting with the taxes Obama raised on the poor and middle class). THAT would foster a quicker recovery.

Keep working and you might eventually have enough material for a stand up comedy bit.
Damn that is funny.

Uummm, there have been two bill from the House several months ago. The Senate version has been delayed by every legal maneuver possible. The Republicans aren’t interested in health care reform, all they want is to increase insurance company profits.

Just to make a point that you come from a place of ignorance I will point out that they could not have made any changes “as early as late 2006″ as you said. They didn’t take power until Jan 2007.
You know the American people get tax cuts and it goes to pay off bills or into savings. I am not sure you can spur on small business into hiring when they have less sales and don’t need more employees. Obama does not get the Chicken and egg theory. Employees don’t come before sales. Too much debt is the problem and unless you want to go back to easy money for consumers which we have gone in the opposite direction with higher credit card rates. You will never spur on spending. Obama and government fail to realize that our great economy only works on debt. Not many have any real money. They were able to pay monthly minimum payments on credit cards and when they Wall Street the only people with money defaulted. It was over.
31, Fusion, The Democrats could have EASILY gotten the votes they needed to pass universal health care. Things backfired when they did the town hall meetings. After the Town Hall and Tea Party debacles, the Democrats got even more secretive with closed door meetings concerning health care (which excluded the Republicans and general public).
32, J, Awwwwwwwww, you caught me. I goofed on the date since I was obviously thinking about their election. But I get it. You’re one of those self-absorbed liberals who thinks highly of themselves.
BTW, nice to see you didn’t bother addressing the main point that the Democratic-controlled Congress could have ended the wars you’re whining about. How so? Congress has two Constitutional powers concerning war. Declaring Wars and Funding Wars. Neither needs the approval of the President.
Instead your liberal whinos in Congress tried to make a public spectacle asking the president to end the wars. If your ilk truly cared, they wouldn’t have made either war a political game.
If your Democrats TRULY wanted to end those wars like they promised, they only needed to kill the funding. But I get it. You believe it’s all Bush’s fault over why the Congress could not exercise their Constitutional powers. LOL.
31, Fusion, I forgot to mention that I think tort reform and opening borders to competition for health insurance are great starters for health care reform. I believe the Republicans have been pushing for that. Illinois lost many of their better doctors due to a lack of tort reforms over the years. Those doctors got fed up and moved to other states.
On the matter of federally funded abortion, I don’t think people should be spending my tax money to subsidize their reckless lifestyle. If we end up with federally funded abortions and the person is a minor, I would insist on mandatory parental notification.
Yeah! Dumb liberals! Lets all vote Republican! Because when Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, George W. Bush were president, I didn’t pay taxes, or they were half what they are now! I’m sure of it, I heard it on some wingnut blog, or from Sarah, Beck, O’Reilly, Fake News or someone. It CAN’T be that my taxes will be the same or LESS under Obama, than they were under Bush.
ROTFLMAO You people are suckers. The politicians look you in the eye and LIE every time and you believe it EVERY TIME. SUCKERS! Federal government NEVER got smaller under a single Republican president in my lifetime…never. It was bigger after Ford, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Bush Jr. The last two Federal Dept were created by Republicans. The last major benefit program was introduced by a Republican. Get over it…stop living in fantasy land where you didn’t pay taxes under Reagan, only under evil-o-Democrats. Idiots.
Fusion,
You still haven’t your question. Quit pussin’ out and grow a pair.
Why would you sacrifice others to save your wife?

Fair enough.
#1 We need to pay the MASSIVE DEBT (created mostly by conservatives)
#2 We need to sustain the MASSIVE MILITARY (conservatives have insisted we have)
#3 We need to make sure Social Security is solvent, (despite conservative attempts to strangle the program.)
#4 We need to rebuild the crumbling infrastructure (that conservatives have insisted we neglect.)
#5 We need to rebuild our lost manufacturing base, (which conservatives looted and shipped overseas.)
#27, Again, you have failed to act civil.
Please try again if you wish to carry on a conversation as an adult.
