Well, since the GOP KNOWS that they are lying about Obama and the budget then the only conclusion is that they mean to do America great harm and try the violent armed overthrow of the Federal government like they tried in 1934. Where is Marine General Smedley Butler when you need him.
LOL..smartest president EVER..here we are over a year later and this president has NOTHING..more debt more govt more failure..this guy is a CON and its starting to show up like a pimple on prom night..FAILED..look at the numbers you con man,,VOTE REPUBLICAN save our country..heres what is true..MORE UNEMPLOYMENT MORE DEBT..and of course MORE BUSH BLAMING..you'd have to be an IDIOT to support this con artist.HISTORY is wonderful isnt it?
the point obama was making here (whether or not it was a take-down is a matter of perspective) was that it's hard to have an honest and productive debate when an assertion made by a party in the debate proves to be a flat-out falsehood. that was the point obama was making & if you watch the unedited proceedings you'll see that he makes it quite clearly.
@MrHomeslice Really? So Obama didn't approve a stimulus that raised our defecit? Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for the FY 2009 budget deficit that overlaps their administrations. Overall, President Obama’s budget has added twice as much debt as President Bush over the same number of years. Obama's stimulus, passed in his first month in office cost more than the entire Iraq War -- more than $100 billion (15%) more. Just for the record...the "dumb elephants" remark was childish.
Well...factually it is true! Obama raised the debt ceiling three times which for anyone who doesn't know put us 4 trillion dollars deeper in the hole! And NO...he didn't take Jeb down he just spit out some more BS trying to make himself look a little less crappy than he already does! How unfortunate that he can't just admit when he's wrong and work to solve the problem! The Rep.'s are not at fault for all this debt Mr. Obama. Haha! Pot calling kettle black if I ever heard it!
@stickyrice101 the national deficit was 1.2 trillion dollars when Obama took office (Thanks to the dumb elephants), that was after clinton left a 200 billion dollar surplus. So that means that Bush and the republcians added 1.4 trillion dollars to the deficit. The national deficit is now 1.6 trillion dollars and yes i do blame republicans for this becuase Obama was about to bring taxes back to clinton levels that would have cut the deficit in half, but thanks to rep.s the deficit is 40% higher.
hmmm simply because Obama ends with 'is simply just not true' doesn't mean he answered the question and won ... he outlined a very simple question (the whole grasp of it apparently Obama wasn't able to absorb) in a wrong way and answered his own question
He didn't take down anything! He didn't even answer the question. Not to mention the fact that this video is chopped all to hell to make it look the way you wanted it to look.
@jtallensk Yes he did he destroyed jeb and all of his accusations and then made him look stupid like he was trying to set up a talking point for a campaign instead of actually asking a real question.
@coolmountains25 Wow!!! Typical liberal, ask me to believe something different than what I saw with my own eyes. I watched the video, I saw what happened. He didn't "take down" anyone. Obama is a liar and a thief and anyone who still supports him is clearly not paying attention.
@jtallensk Nothing i saw supports ur accusations of Obama being a 'liar and a thief'?! that's just ignorant. How can u accuse people who don't agree with u of not paying attention, when ur accusing Obama of something completely unsupported and unfounded in this vid. hypocrite. He did Destroy Jeb. When Obama pointed out that jebs accusation about Obama role in causing the debt was not even remotely feasible b/c it wasn't possible.
Obama is a smug s.o.b and so disingenuous when he talks about having bi-partisan talks. He has never had ANY intention of working with the gop and he still can't fathom that his party got their arses spanked in the mid-termws which was a complete rejection of his liberal agenda as well as a rejection of an out of control congress.
@AmznGraceSC I wish Obama would SMACK those GOP fools but he doesn't. He wants to actually work with those asses and keeps being nice when they outright say they wanna take him down.
I can't for the life of me understand why ppl are voting against their interests. The Repubs don't give a shit abt you unless you're rich. It's been proven over and over and over. They don't give a fuck about the average guy or working folks. Why exactly are ppl rooting for those liars ? Have at it then...fools
@uchihaangelus You are very confident in your misguided opinion of this man, but that's ok. A day will come when it will all become clear to you what is really going on. However; without a serious heart change that day may come too late for you. It's almost too late now. You do realize we are moving toward the one world order don't you? Do you fully understand what this means? Selah......
I didn't find this "Remarkable, Feisty or Jousting" as stated by one news woman. Instead I saw a him continually nodding his head when Mr. JEB was speaking. This indicates he was not interested in what was being said. He was just waiting for Mr. JEB to shut up so he could talk. Which btw: he did interrupt Mr. JEB. Also, the congressman wasn't "laying into the president" as one reporter stated, he was respectful, yet direct in his concern about the budget. Just another liberal slant.
@mythoughts777 I voted you up by accident. It was clear that the congressman was trying to gain campaign recognition. Politics are about getting reelected. If this clown really cared about the deficit he would have voted against the war, and voted for strict regulation of the banking industry. AND to audit the fed.
@mikemamzic lol This is funny. I never had anyone tell me that they voted me up on accident. : D No worries, I don't care who is for my opinion or who isn't. Truth is truth, I don't need people to agree. : ) I stand by what I've already spoken.
@mythoughts777 It's funny how he showed concern about the budget. Republicans haven't balanced the budget in DECADES. Funny dat They sure don't give a fuck abt the deficit when it comes to giving millionaires tax cuts.
Seriously think for a minute. If you're still stuck then I guess there's no hope for you. Stupid is only forever if you're refusing to learn.
@uchihaangelus My dear sweet child, you seem to be stuck on party. My opinion is they are both corrupt, but I do choose the lesser of two evils. As for Obama, I do not care what party, race etc he represents. I discern the heart of the man. I can't help that you are not able to do the same.
@RadarGuidedVermin If you watch the entire video it's Obama who's debunking the propaganda of the other side. Name calling demonstrates your lack of intelligence.
What a slam dunk from Barry! It will be interesting to see how this all plays out after the November elections. It's going to be a b1+€h fest. If he thinks they are talkin about him "like a dog", after November he's going to be whining to the country and the "media" (rejecting nefarious FOX) daily about how bad john boehner and his evil cronies are treating him. Get the popcorn!
Get em .... Obama is going to smash this fools in 2012 not becasue he is doing a great job but because the Gop seems to be full of BS. we need strong Repbulcans as long as a strong dems.
i love when obama is off his prompter. Uh well you see UHHHHH george bush uhhhhhhh one uhhh trillion dollars uhhhhh yea. So by obamas logic since bush pushed the debt to a trillion dollars we should make it three times more to reduce our debt? Sounds like another classic FAIL policy from the left.
@maxpowersstp I think you missed the whole point of the video. That the party, regardless of being correct or not, was a dumbass for taking more than a minute to "ask a question" to make all types of assertions.
@Bloodrozer It doesn't take more than a minute to realize how destructive tripling our debt to get out of debt is. Why do you think mr high and mighty obama wont release his budget.
@maxpowersstp again, you're missing the point of this video. I am not arguing for or against Obama. I'm just pointing out what Obama did, that the person was asking a question in a retarded, long-winded manner and was only trying to argue rather than ask questions. it was a Q&A session, not an open debate. He could, and should, brought up all those points and everything else he wishes to talk to Obama about at the right time and place. It's called professional courtesy and common decency.
@Bloodrozer Well professional courtesy. You mean like saying he didn't have all the facts but that the Cambridge police officer acted stupidly. I am sure he was shocked because for once a reporter wasn't having an orgasm due to his very presence. I find it funny Obama always gets testy when presented with the "facts". Notice he is all smiles when he is on the view with Joy Bay-hard on.
@maxpowersstp The bulk of this money that will triple our debt has been and will be spent on our military operations. If the GObP want's to cut spending, we can start with that.
@funkbrother216 How can the GOP cut spending to a war that they have already spent money on. That doesn't even make sense. You must be another victim of our public school system.
@maxpowersstp It woldn't make sense if I hadn't thrown in the "will be" part in reference to future spending on future military operations, Captian Comprehension.
@funkbrother216 So then lets be clear. Obama can only blame the war spending that does not relate to Afghanistan. Which democrats called "the good war". Which is moronic because all warfare sucks. Including class warfare in which Obama is heavily engaging in. I know this is hard for you to believe, and i am sure you'll think i am a racist. But Obama comes from a divide and conquer background bathed in south american socialist attributes. Be more open minded.
LOL you are really paranoid. Because there was two separate competing newspapers until recently. The honlulu advertiser and the honolulu star bulletin. Not two hospitals you idiot. Are you on meds?
You do not live in a communist country where you get to tell someone who went to upper end education 12+ years that they do not get to make a profit from their willingness to obtain such advanced education. This is a capitalst nation where you pay a brain surgeon over a million a year for such service. Obama care is a failure from the start because you cannot order a doctor to serve in your community to serve you.
Hint: Make your communities worthy of a doctor living there.
@Boostnitup you are an idiot. There should be universal health care. Everyone should have equal access to care not only the rich or those that can afford it. Health care should be about care not about profit. You are scum like the rest of the birthers and racists. I wish I could vote you and your like out of the country.
@mqldelta First of all our founding gafthers were birthers. They demand Obama be "Natural Born" so prove he is by releasing the documentation or we will have our States demand it for 2012. If he refuses to show it we will pursue it in impeachment proceedings, and not allow him to run for office in those States. As for healthcare you have it. You had it as well. The emergency room works just fine doesn't it? Now you still have the emergency room don't you? So what changed? NOTHING
@Boostnitup He doesn't need his birth certificate to prove he is a natural born cititzen. Just go to the main public state library and look up his birth announcements in the two separate honolulu newspapers on microfiche. If the founding fathers saw the birthers they would be laughing at them. You stupid racists are grasping at straws.
@mqldelta He does require a Long form birth certifcate. We are going to demand it for him to run again in several States, and will see the fall out from your side as you call our States racist for doing so. He will be denied access to our ballots, and we will demand impeachment for his being unwilling to reveal the document he does not have, and or; is unwiilling to release
@Boostnitup The more I read your comments the more I realize you are stupid and a nut. "WE are going to demand it"? You must a member of the birthers. Anyone with a rational mind would realize that Obama doesn't need to show that he was born in hawaii. Like I said just check the birth announcement that is available to the public. Surely you cannot believe his birth announcement is a lie or conspiracy over 40 years ago do you? Maybe you do because you are nuts.
@Boostnitup You really need to stop listening to Limbaugh, Beck and Fox propaganda. You must be a fundamentalist christian I bet. You get all your facts and beliefs from others. You don't have a mind of your own or seem capable of forming your own rational thoughts. You only repeat what others say without thinking if what they say makes sense or is the truth. How old are you if I might ask?
@Boostnitup Emergency services are only for emergencies.. not for longer term care. If you don't have insurance because you cannot afford it.. you are shit out of luck.
@mqldelta I forgot to add.. if you are denied insurance because the insurance companies cannot make money on you or will lose money by insuring you. As I said.. medical care should not be profit driven or run like a business. It should only be about providing needed health care to all american citizens. The only people against it are the rich that have the best healthcare and want to keep it to themselves. Typical republican selfishness and greed. They don't give a shit about anyone else.
@mqldelta Not true and you know it! Example... In Detroit or Baltimore if you get shot where do you go? Yes... the emergency room, and in the waiting area there is a full room of illegals and low income Americans waiting for service with a flu like symptom... they must wait till your inner city gang member is patched up from his altercation with law enforcement, or another gang member.
@Boostnitup How the hell do you know what the other patients are in there for or are illegal ? "flu like symptoms" my ass.You are an idiot and a racist. Just admit you are a racist and an idiot. You will feel better.
@mqldelta Racist? HAHHAHAAH YOu are rewriting the meaning of the word? Do I have such power over your advancement? Or is it that you believe I owe you something?
I owe you nothing... You owe me! My Great Grandfather liberated your relatives and lost a leg doing so on a Civl War battlefield. As a participant on the winning side you didn't even thank him. Now you want reperations? I piss on you and your ilk. Pay off the winners and thank them first... you get nothing.
@mqldelta You are a paid pundent by the Obama regime... admit it! Why two hospitals in Honolulu? Why won't either accept him as being born there? Why?
@mqldelta As for being a racist... that word no longer applies so you are attempting to rewrite it like you did the word "Gay" which used to mean HAPPY AND JOYFUL. You wish to call anyone who says "No!" to your progressive movement "Racists!" Well guess what? It isn't going to work... but nice try anyways. Keeping calling the white's in america "racist's" and see where it gets you in November, and in 2012. It will most suredly will back fire on you.
"A lot of tea bagging dickheads didn't even know the word "socialism" before Glenn Beck started using it "
And he uses the word 'socialism' to mean Nazi or Stalinist dictatorships, which were both far-right regimes. The failings of left-wing ideologies are always due to the right-wing effect.
Sorry i meant "socialism become synonymous with communism" not capitalism.
Now if calling someone socialists means they are the ones who stand up and do something about the rich exploiting the poor, if being a socialist means making sure there are equal opportunities for everyone, and utilising technology and resources to their maximum potential,
I AM PROUD to be a SOCIALIST.
And guess who else is a HUGE fan of Reagan = Rupert Murdoch. Guess what he owns????
This in turn creates an unequal society, that fails to provide equal opportunities for everyone to maximise their potential,[6] and does not utilise technology and resources to their maximum potential nor in the interests of the public."
When did the term socialist start being synonymous with capitalist ? Well im no history major but i think it began around the time a certain president Reagan's time. The man who did the most to ensure the rich stay rich and poor stay poor.
No we didnt come from monkeys, we had "common ancestry" with the apes like chimps, but we are not descendants of those same chimps, and specially not any monkeys. There is a huge difference, so i don't know what exactly you did your PhD on mr truthofevolution.
more to the point i quote wikipedia'Socialists generally share the view that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital and derives its wealth through a system of exploitation.
wow... way to dodge the question Obama... Rep Hensarling provides some background to better make his question understood and you focus on everything BUT his question
It was an intentional "gott-cha, talking point - as mentioned, question.
And Pres. did answer it - that it is not true.
But you'll seen to be transferring the "cause" and "creation" of the debt to him - which is not true either.
Bush left office with approx. a 12 T$ Debt, 8 T$ created during his term. By giving tax break to the rich; but "not tying them" to creating ONE job in America - but sold both as "job" programs. Two unnecessary Wars - created few jobs and long term enemies.
you guys stop fighting the problem here is not the budget, the democrats or the republicans are not the solution, they are the problem solvers. if they do not use team work we will have no success and will be divided. hensarling is at fault hear because he is just attacking obama, how is this going to create bipartisanship? i am not criticising the GOP but they have got to stop attacking dems just to try and win seats. the democrats did it too when bush was in control and it helps nothing
Republicans have been "intentionally obstructing" at an "all time historic high" ... since the Democrat took back over the Congress in 2006. A phony trick !
-
Attacks on Bush were "deserved", illegally wiretapping - even before 9/11, compromising civil rights - under the guise of protecting US, should have been contingent upon terrorism - not taken our to "protect US". Knowingly deceiving US into Iraq.
Obama accuses Rep. Hensarling of claiming that Obama's monthly deficit is the same as Bush's yearly deficit. Hensarling DIDN"T SAY THAT. Hensarling said that the Democrats, instead of announcing yearly deficits, are announcing monthly deficits because monthly numbers sound smaller. Obama is either deaf, or purposefully misstating the question in order not to answer it.
The problem with what you said is actually Hensarling DID mean that about the deficit. He repeated on both Fox news and Cnn. Maybe it was a talking point or he misspoke but he did imply that the monthly deficits were higher than the yearly deficits during the Bush years.
Its his way of saying that the Dems and Obama are blowing up the deficit which isnt true. Obama admitted in his response that yes they did increase the deificit due to the stimulus. But thats only a VERY small portion of it.
amarti9 '-blowing up the deficit which isnt true'-
-
Yup that is a persistent - "talking LIE" ... that they will probably run on in the mid-term election. Because their sheep do not go ant farther than wrong-wing talking Lies to research. - When you're the "drunks that drove you into a ditch" it is hard "to run on their history" and failed policies !
The evil Republithugs are using the same old, tired, fear and smear stuff they always have. Joe natters on about 'free markets' when everyone even the Republican sock puppet Greenspan admitted that was the reason for the Wall Street/Bank meltdown. Business can't police itself, because their greed literally know no bounds.
Then we have Casper Cee who is sooo worked up about unemployment of 10.6%, which is exactly the same as it was in Reagan's third year of office. Reagan: icon, loser, dumb.
The Republican, and Libertarian world will have: air pollution so thick people will die of breathing the fumes, water pollution so bad that the rivers stench make people sick, no laws about pure food, or drugs. Unpaved streets, no public oversight of how much a utility (like water, electricity, gas, or other energy) can charge homeowners/renters, no free libraries, open borders so cheap labor can drown us and make our wages go down every year. Republicans are evil.
If the Fed was eliminated and the government would get out of the way and allow the free market to work (Republicans & Democrats are equally guilty) then we would've probably all been driving around electric vehicles and living in off the grid sustainable houses a long time ago. If the legal system respected private property rights then pollution wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem. Capitalism is the engine of a progressive society, government is the barrier.
TheGranule Now, with the same Dems in control of House & Senate PLUS and ultra liberal president, unemployment reached 10.6% & is now at 9.7% (& growing again). foreclosures hit a new record high, & our economy is even worse.
Wingnutserstoopid You are a fool. The only corporation or industry who's going to be hiring after Obamacare passed in the IRS or other government jobs.
Jobs will be lost in the medical industry by the millions and the unemployment rate will hit at LEAST 14% within 2 years.
@CasperCee You wingnut idiots have a very shitty record on making predictions. ESPECIALLY regarding the economy. You are full of shit. 938 BILLION dollars injected into the heatlh care industry is NOT going to hurt it you fucking dip shit. No go back to getting tea bagged by Glenn Beck you stupid fuck!
TheGranule Eric Massa, a married man with children, is being investigated for sexual harassment against a MALE co-worker; Charlie Rangel, chairman for Ways & Means - who writes our taxes, is under investigation for tax evasion; Tim Geithner, U.S. Treasury Secretary, did not pay taxes for almost 5 years - A TAX CHEAT; Kevin Jennings, Obama's pick for Safety School Czar, is a gay pedophile who praised NAMBLA & held a seminar teaching children how to perform gay sex acts.
You are a stupid fucking liar. Kevin Jennings did not praise NAMBLA and did not hold a seminar teaching children how to perform gay sex acts. You are a piece of shit. Typical Republican
@CasperCee -Capitol Hill is an absolute haven for closet homosexual politicians in BOTH parties. Corruption has nothing to do with party either. You can't really be this clueless, can you? Jesus.
there are numerous books about the out of control capitalism of the US and Britain before the 1930s. Children working with no child labor laws, debtors prisons, a caste system based on wealth, with no chance of getting federal grants to attend college, old folks and the homeless dying of starvation at the side of the road, thousands wrapped in tatters and rags, open sewers running down the sides of the streets. It was the Democrats who passed laws to help the people.
@TheGranule, any time someone wants to divide the world into good vs evil people, all they have to do to recognize the narrow minded blinders they are wearing is go to any school, church, or sporting event. in real life democrats and republicans work and play side by side, they marry, they volunteer together in their communities, they sacrifice their lives for their buddies on the battlefield. it is this kind of prejudice and stereotyping that makes it difficult for some to see the difference be
the difference between environmental regulations that help people and clean the air and water compared to regulations that hurt people and do little or nothing to solve a problem, programs that create a 21st century infrastructure that helps spur growth and economic activity vs over regulation meant to slow development, programs meant to lift the poor vs bring down the rich, limiting government to let the human spirit soar vs regulation to by central authority into lockstep submission.
TheGranule Obama blames the Republicans for leaving him with a large deficit. Reality: Bush kept our economy strong, unemployment low (4.4%) with house sales at record highs. Then in 2006, the Democrats took control of the House & Senate; our economy went south, unemployment went to 7.6%, foreclosures hit record highs, & gas went over $4/gallon.
@CasperCee Bush inherited a budget surplus and low unemployment thanks to Bill Clinton. When Bush left office, 700,000 jobs a month were being lost. Unemployment had a net increase during Bush's presidency, moron. The Dems did not take control of Congress until 2007 and had no affect on economic policy in this country since the minority Republicans filibustered any legislation they passed. The shit economy is completely and totally on the GOP dumb ass.
I know its 2 weeks old but I saw this and had to give it a thumbs up. As an independent I dont see how in the world the GOP can lay economic problems today and yesterday on Obama's doorstep when the vast majority of this was under their rule.
Your first point about Clinton vs Bush is dead on and undisputable and I have yet to find any reasonable republican out there who can spin it or refute the harsh reality of how Bush left the country vs how the hated Clinton left the country.
@CasperCee- Bush left us with a deficit of $1.3 TRILLION, and two wars, with Iraq alone costing us $10BILLION per MONTH in money borrowed from CHINA and wastefully paid out to private contractors like KBR & Haliburton via non-competitve, no-bid govt contracts. You call that keeping the economy strong? Get a clue, please.
@CasperCee -and another hint for you: The massive dereg of our corporations that allowed companies to send our jobs overseas didn't do much to keep our economy strong either. Repugs in office = massive dereg= financial meltdown as well.
@CasperCee - Clinton couldve stopped NAFTA, but surely you MUST know that he elder Bush signed NAFTA into law, it didnt kick in until Clinton's term. The younger bush signed in on CAFTA as well. So, you were saying again???
@CasperCee - I stand corrected. Clinton did sign NAFTA into law, however Bush Sr. spearheaded the initiative. Funny part is, The Dems were fighting Bush over NAFTA, and were disgusted with Clinton when he went along with it. lol
In New York , of the 93 internists/doctors (not even close to enough for New York) who cater to adults, only 37 accept Medicare. Most doctors are only accepting insurance from private insurers - the ones that Obama is trying to shut down.
According to the American College of Physicians, by 2025, there will 35,000 to 45,000 fewer doctors than what the population needs - and internists are increasingly unwilling to accept new Medicare patients.
ebruceii Obama, Biden, the leadership and committee staffers in the House and Senate who WROTE THE BILL are exempt from Obamacare. They are more familiar with the contents of the law and they are excluded from it. Sen. Grassley (IA-R) & Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R) tried to close the loopholes & extend the law to include the president, VP & Cabinet members. It was blocked by Senate Democratic leaders.
ebruceii People who believe we came from monkeys and think a Socialist Utopia is the best thing to help you live your life, they all agree with Obama. What they are ignorant and blind about is Obamacare DOES NOT cover everyone;
@CasperCee whoa whoa whoa, believing that we came from monkeys is a completely different topic from healthcare. The idea humans came from monkeys is accepted by every accredited scientific society. Ive studied it in PhD level genetic classes and in my experience as a scientist I have not yet met a single scientist who doesnt accept it.
ebruceii With socialized health care, our hospitals will be overwhelmed with the job at hand, will not have the money to pay for it, and will not be good at it. Doctor's with a private practice will be a thing of the past. Small business owners will have to pay higher premiums for people on their payroll. Insurance providers will have to pay billions in health care taxes. Obamacare drops the ball in controlling healthcare costs and quality of healthcare will drop immensely.
ebruceii Creamer's intentions had nothing to do with increasing access to health care, lowering its cost or increasing quality. Universal health care is the first steps for redistribution of wealth and increase in government control, as was stated in his book "Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win". Notice the title. "Listen to Your Mother". Progressives, socialists, liberals and the Democrats need to a "mother" to tell them what to do.
ebruceii Who wrote the blueprint for the Democrat health care reform? Convicted felon Robert Creamer. The bill subsidizes Big Pharma and punishes the most vulnerable - the elderly and disabled - by cutting half a trillion dollars from Medicare and gutting home health care. It raises the cost of education by nationalizing the student loan market.
ebruceii Obama as put us in more debt than Bush did... and he's just getting started.
If anybody thinks Obamacare is going to make things any better, they've got another thing coming. As the way things are right now, we barely have enough doctors to handle the number of patients. Now that Obamacare got passed, there's going to be another 32 MILLION more patients and 48% of doctors have said they are going to retire if Obamacare gets passed! Millions of more patients and about half the doctors!
@CasperCee - more fallacious Fox figures??? Come on now, those claims are just silly. I support one of the the largest hospital chains in the country and there is NO shortage of physicians, believe me. Not to mention how many current resident s there are all around the country ready to get their feet wet.
What's really amazing is that the liberals and Dems have pushed through Obamacare which is going to increase taxes on ALL AMERICANS.... ECXEPT THE DEMOCRATS IN THE WHITE HOUSE! I guess the libs & Dems weren't smart enough to learn that from Tim Geithner (the US Secretary of Treasury - who takes care of American finance and monetary matters) and Charlie Rangel (chairman for the House Ways and Means Committee) who BOTH are excused by the Democrat party for not paying their taxes!
ebruceii You must live in an area where nobody gets sick & no emergencies. 3 months ago I got food poisoning and drove myself to the emergency room at 12:30 in the morning. I waited 1 hour before they let me in, then I waited 6 HOURS, laying on a bed, till they actually attended to me! It's funny that you don't know what Obamacare is going to do the pay of doctors. They will make 21% LESS and have to do more work. Less people will want to be in a career when they have to work more & make less.
@CasperCee - Guess what, the more people who actually have health coverage, the less congested the ER all across this nation are going to be. Ever think of that?
Not sure where youre getting your figures from. Doctors are going to make 21% less??? Please. haha
FBI says 75% of those loans, that lead to the failure of Wall St., - were fraudulent on the Bank and other lenders' side. That Bush encouraged people to buy, "everybody deserves a good home" !
there was a documentary on vanguard tonight about the living conditions inside cuba. it is sad to see how people have been enslaved by the revolution, how they often don't even realize what they have given up to gain free health care and free education. educations with no economy and no potential to grow, health care with no supplies or equipment. but at least there are no evil rich people. that is the big reward. i feel the same pity for you and those who have suffered the same fate here.
but the worst part of it is the children who will die in the streets of every major city tonight due to the upside down mentality that you espouse. if you ever do clear your head of the ridiculous mentality that those who are taking care of themselves are somehow the cause of the problem for those who aren't, you might feel the need to point it out anywhere you can, too. problems don't go away by misidentifying problems. they go away by focusing on where the true problem is. open your eyes.
candicaner, does it make any sense to you that in the places where government provides the most support (supposedly because there is no work), those are the places where the most work is left undone? does it make any sense to you that in the places where government provides the most support, the people who receive section 8, food stamps, medicaid, utility subsidies, etc. continue to live in public housing even when a home can be purchased for $100? is that because the rich have too much money?
Does it really make sense to you that in the wealthiest nation in the world that places like that exist. Does it make sense that after all thae corruption that has been shown to us that people like you still don't understand ? You make a much better servant than I . Lets see where those aspirations get you in life. It is toolish.
The people who can create wealth are so damned greedy they would destroy this country to make a buck. They have no allegiance to the US, they have allegiance to their Swiss Bank Accounts.
There is literally not enough money in the world to satisfy them. While our country is going down the tubes, & folks are out of work they spend money to make sure their economic slaves in India or China are healthy. Why do you think Gates put's so much money into India's poor. Cheap labor!
@TheGranule, a free market is the antithesis to greed. If someone is charging too much for a product or is offering poor service, someone else will do the job better or cheaper and still make a profit. profit is what drives people to work into the middle of the night when employees have gone home. it pushes them to figure out a more efficient way to run their business. that efficiency is what has allowed poor peole in america to have much more than the average person in most other nations.
TheGranule,free trade is what has helped other nations to establish a base that can expand so it's people can be fed, clothed, schooled, and eventually become equal trading partners. we will never end war through the united nations. it will be through shared economic interests and self supporting people. it is as wrong to say that foreign nations are taking our jobs as it was when women were first told they couldn't work because they were taking men's jobs. instead it expanded the economic base.
or maybe they're not clueless. maybe they truly believe america is too big for it's britches, that it has created great wealth on the backs of the poor and minorities at home and around the world, has destroyed the planet with evil co2 pollution. fine. cut the greatest nation ever known to man 'down to size', but this is the result you will get. less wealth, less innovation, less rich to pay for the poor, one big organized community. it is not a coincidence that the places in america that receiv
it is not a coincidence that the places in america that receive the most support look the most like cuba with decaying buildings left from times when the people didn't expect government to control their lives or bring them hope, all on borrowed money and false promises that can never be repaid.
We can go back and forth all day & night about who caused this and why we are here now. Let the historians work that out. What we need to do is figure out how we can drastically curb government spending. Because at its present rate, it will literally bankrupt this country and leave us somewhere between Bangladesh and Brunei on the economic scale if we don't get our act together. And btw - raising taxes is not the answer - so leave that crap off the table.
rick you say raising taxes is not the answer. What is? Cheney/bush left us to pay for two wars that he rushed into, and never paid for. How are we going to get the money for the wasteful policies of the Cheney/bush years?
Have you ever balanced a checkbook? If we cut our government support of Wall Street maybe we could do better, but the idiot Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations can now control elections through unlimited spending, so handouts to the rich is not going to stop.
TheGranule, you would automatically begin with more credibility if you talked in terms of issues instead of cheney/bush. it is childish. it is a big part of why we are in this mess in washington. quit blaming, start talking problems/solutions if you want to be taken seriously.
It is delusional not to see that the policies of Bush/Cheney are the reason we are in this debt ridden financial fiasco. The first step to healing is to admit the problem and deal with it. We have gotten off the path of individual liberties and are more concerned about the health/rights of corperations than the health/rights of individuals.
candicaner, we have a spending problem, not a problem of rich people having too much money. raising taxes will not solve anythiong but make the people who understand how to create wealth less able to create wealth at the same time it will make the people who depend on government to support them to become even more dependent on government. we have destroyed whole neighborhoods with upside down rewards. we have destroyed the hopes of black children to live in the same type of neighborhood that com
hopes of black children to live in the same kind of neighborhood where people are used to taking care of themselves. it is shameful what those with your mentality have done to destroy the potential of this nation and the people in it with some upside down belief that the rich are responsible for the condition of the poor or that any community is not responsible for it's own results. sadly, bush held your mentality. now the dems are doubling down while killing business and bankrupting the nation.
you said the following to my wife (and i have been following the conversation and would like to join in, since she had to relinquish the computer and/or got tired of your idiocy): "candicaner, ... i am sad for every child, especially every poor black child ...
i am anxiously waiting for you to finish that sentence. it starts out saying exactly what candicaner has been saying to you. can't WAIT for the ending. did you fall asleep? don't you think it's a little racist to assume that "poor little black children" have the monopoly on being victims of the rich? but wait, weren't you espousing the virtues of the wealthy just a couple comments back?
they're the only reason we have any economy at all, right? what BS. aren't the benefactors of those politicos' (i assume that's what "pols" means) that were elected by the people but who did all the favors for the rich (corporations ) the ones you admire so much? yes, they are.
why is it that the entire Republican party will not vote for a single thing Obama endorses, even if those same Republicans actually AUTHORED the bills and/or have stated on video tape that they supported the same things in the past? two reasons: 1) they're bought and paid for by the corporations and 2) THEY are the racists. you should give up the fake sympathy for "little black children" and pay some attention to history.
i'm sure Ronald Reagan is your hero. He was mine, too, when i was purposely as ignorant of what he was doing as you are ignorant in general now. you CAN get over it. all you have to do is just once watch something other than Fox (not the) News. get some facts for a change, instead of simply shout out the same BS over and over again. here's one fact that will certainly surprise you: exactly what you stand for right now, based on all your comments to candicaner and above,
is what this country went through for the 8 years of Bush and Cheney. do you see how that worked out? they encouraged wall street to do anything they wanted and they bankrupted the country. that was ok with Bush. you want government out of our lives, but i guess it's ok that Bush/Cheney decided to hawk our country to china and KILL over 5,000 or our own citizens so THEY could have a war and make haliburton richer.
(by the way, Cheney received i believe $175,000 per year WHILE vice president INCREDIBLE conflict of interest there, but who knew? not, you, that's certain.) facts are fun. facts are good. get some facts for once rather than claim as your own the same tired lies that the repubs have fed you since forever. have you seen the clips that PROVE what liars they all are? it's treason and most of them should be hanged!...
I understand that it may be important for you to have someone to look up to, but not at my expense. I am not willing to pay a higher % of my money so some self-entitled trust fund baby can buy a new yacht.

@MrHomeslice Really? So Obama didn't approve a stimulus that raised our defecit? Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for the FY 2009 budget deficit that overlaps their administrations. Overall, President Obama’s budget has added twice as much debt as President Bush over the same number of years. Obama's stimulus, passed in his first month in office cost more than the entire Iraq War -- more than $100 billion (15%) more. Just for the record...the "dumb elephants" remark was childish.

And NO...he didn't take Jeb down he just spit out some more BS trying to make himself look a little less crappy than he already does! How unfortunate that he can't just admit when he's wrong and work to solve the problem! The Rep.'s are not at fault for all this debt Mr. Obama. Haha! Pot calling kettle black if I ever heard it!
stickyrice101 9 months ago
@stickyrice101 the national deficit was 1.2 trillion dollars when Obama took office (Thanks to the dumb elephants), that was after clinton left a 200 billion dollar surplus. So that means that Bush and the republcians added 1.4 trillion dollars to the deficit. The national deficit is now 1.6 trillion dollars and yes i do blame republicans for this becuase Obama was about to bring taxes back to clinton levels that would have cut the deficit in half, but thanks to rep.s the deficit is 40% higher.

I didn't find this "Remarkable, Feisty or Jousting" as stated by one news woman. Instead I saw a him continually nodding his head when Mr. JEB was speaking. This indicates he was not interested in what was being said. He was just waiting for Mr. JEB to shut up so he could talk. Which btw: he did interrupt Mr. JEB. Also, the congressman wasn't "laying into the president" as one reporter stated, he was respectful, yet direct in his concern about the budget. Just another liberal slant.

Obama accuses Rep. Hensarling of claiming that Obama's monthly deficit is the same as Bush's yearly deficit. Hensarling DIDN"T SAY THAT.

The problem with what you said is actually Hensarling DID mean that about the deficit. He repeated on both Fox news and Cnn. Maybe it was a talking point or he misspoke but he did imply that the monthly deficits were higher than the yearly deficits during the Bush years.

The Pres.'s promise to be more transparent
is being carried over into the budget - which includes the money for the wars. And Monthly updates.
-
Bush requesting money off budget [quarterly] "to make the War debt" seem less was deceptive.

Joe natters on about 'free markets' when everyone even the Republican sock puppet Greenspan admitted that was the reason for the Wall Street/Bank meltdown. Business can't police itself, because their greed literally know no bounds.
Then we have Casper Cee who is sooo worked up about unemployment of 10.6%, which is exactly the same as it was in Reagan's third year of office. Reagan: icon, loser, dumb.

The Republican, and Libertarian world will have: air pollution so thick people will die of breathing the fumes, water pollution so bad that the rivers stench make people sick, no laws about pure food, or drugs. Unpaved streets, no public oversight of how much a utility (like water, electricity, gas, or other energy) can charge homeowners/renters, no free libraries, open borders so cheap labor can drown us and make our wages go down every year. Republicans are evil.

If the Fed was eliminated and the government would get out of the way and allow the free market to work (Republicans & Democrats are equally guilty) then we would've probably all been driving around electric vehicles and living in off the grid sustainable houses a long time ago. If the legal system respected private property rights then pollution wouldn't be nearly as much of a problem. Capitalism is the engine of a progressive society, government is the barrier.

@CasperCee Bush inherited a budget surplus and low unemployment thanks to Bill Clinton. When Bush left office, 700,000 jobs a month were being lost. Unemployment had a net increase during Bush's presidency, moron.

In New York , of the 93 internists/doctors (not even close to enough for New York) who cater to adults, only 37 accept Medicare. Most doctors are only accepting insurance from private insurers - the ones that Obama is trying to shut down.
According to the American College of Physicians, by 2025, there will 35,000 to 45,000 fewer doctors than what the population needs - and internists are increasingly unwilling to accept new Medicare patients.
