Why didn’t this site go overboard proclaiming the end of the Republicans and Scott Walker in Wisconsin? Two of their state Senators were thrown out in recall elections after they destroyed unions in the state. Come on, I’m getting disappointed. Where’s you’re jumping at the latest talking points?? Surely Scott Walker is next!
No president has the power, alone, to solve this by design slide into the end of the United States.
No, President Warbomber will not fix the problem of his multiple endless wars against Middle Easterners today.
The reason why Warbomber cannot stop them, is the same reason that President Jackson was unable to fix the problem of multiple endless wars back then.
MANIFEST DESTINY, yo
Plant a flag in newly acquired land is the whole point.
There is no end to the flag which is planted.
Silly rabbits
#19. Oh we’ll get to go back 100 years. It’s happening right now because idiots like you advocate bankrupting the country.
#24–PortaJohnny==yea, none of that stuff existed 100 years ago. And everything today is so exactly the same, we should go back to those golden days of yore when everyone followed the Constitution and had god in their hearts.
You and Oh No are so correct in your analysis. Just one thing—will I still get my MTV?
I could be wrong about a lot of things but I’m absolutely certain that Congress can spend the entire GDP and will given the chance. In fact that is the problem. They are getting way to close to spending the entire GDP at which time nobody sane will lend the US anything.
In order for a tax increase to work you will need to increase taxes by 41% to balance the budget and that is most likely a total lie because the war spending isn’t even on the books if I understand what the swine are saying.
I dont get the obama apologists. they bring up the bush stuff every time it’s brought up how damn much obama spends and his complete lack of direction. So it’s not even a denial its just like a kid saying “well he did it too”. How does that make it any better? He is still screwing us. The republicans have turned into big government big spending liberals. the liberals have simply gone off the deep end.
The most powerful words are usually spoken in a calm, collected tone with a flow that promotes a spongy cognitive affect on people. This guy may have had something to say but he sure failed on delivery.
Today’s Republicans are yesterday’s Democrats.
Today’s Democrats are yesterday’s socialists.
Let’s put this in perspective. In Obama’s first two years, the amount he spent more over what we bring in, than Iraq and Afghanistan had cost in total to that point (so over seven years or so). The wars were/are expensive but they are a drop in the bucket compared to what Obama has done while in office. At this stage, Iraq and Afghanistan cost us in the neighborhood of 70B each year. Compare that to our deficit which is 1500 B.

The Entitlement programs have an astronomical cost
Depends on which entitlement program. SS deficits are not astronomical when you account for their revenue and the interest on the T-Bills they must buy. The same is true of Medicare. However, Medicaid is a disaster. Whenever I hear about the “disaster of entitlement programs” I never hear their costs balanced against their revenues; it’s always just the raw costs as if people are not paying into it. Heaven forbid people get angry about being required to pay into a program and not at least getting out of it what they put into it.

Should read: “…, the amount he spent more over what we bring in was more than…”
#25. No, fuck you and MTV. This is about survival. Tough choices are ahead. Is MTV a priority for you?
Being cute doesn’t work for me. Anything else asshole?
Perhaps an MTV tax.?
Hmmm LaRue,
Perhaps MTV was a metaphor for all the everythings that we now must understand in This Modern World?
And who’s being cute when you front a bogus list of “cut-and-paste” tax complaints?
Do you really oppose all of them?
So Johnny says “being cute doesn’t work for me” shortly after claiming that all taxes instituted after 1910 are the reason Mom doesn’t stay home to raise the kids?
“… Not one of these taxes below existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world.”
USA continues to be the most important political and economical power in the world. All due to a BIG FAT government which provided 100 years for infrastructure, science, education, and a mighty army to defeat Hitler and stop the Soviet Union …
“… We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids… (and racial seggregation)” … sweet Feudalism nostalgy.
# 26 deowll said, “for a tax increase to work you will need to increase taxes by 41%”
I don’t know your numbers but it’s not important. Raise our taxes high enough to balance the budget and service our debt and a Democratic congress will just find more things to throw money at.
The real truth why we were so prosperous and strong after WWII was we were the only game in town, much of the rest of the world was bombed into oblivion. We had a huge manufacturing capacity after the war and we made most of our goods here. Japan was only making cheap paper products and cheap radios. Germany was Two struggling countries. The Soviet Union was an economic mess, China and India had not emerged. We could buy our oil from Arab Sheiks just by letting them sit on a scale and giving them their weight in gold and a fleet of new Cadillacs.
As time went on all of this changed, Today you can’t find a TV or appliance made in the USA.; I also blame many of our problems on technology, don’t get me wrong I owned an Apple II GS in 1986, but many jobs are no longer needed because machines or PC’s can handle the load. There is a price to pay for all of this and we are seeing it in real time.
Ditto Harry
“A private Matter” ? NO, it’s not you tool. You pay $360 a year for Gov health insurance?

The government isn’t broke.
It’s intentionally underfunded.
This has been the strategy of the GOP for decades.
But now we have to PANIC!!! about it, and end Social Security to solve the CRISIS!!!!
