Bob McDonnell's Super Awesome Budget (and some lies)

[practicalmagic9]

big on small biz...because SMALL biz doesn't have DEEP pockets to FIGHT you?

@practicalmagic9 That sounds about right.

So Bob McDonald basically pulled revenue from sales tax in one month early. Isn't that just going to create the potential for a deficit this month? Did he by chance used to work for the auto industry? That's exactly what GM and Ford did in 2002 and we all know how well that worked out.

@PJsCreed He pulled this trick for the 2009, 2010, & 2011 budgets, then it goes back to normal in 2012... is the way I understood it. He also deferred pension and other payments to July to count them on the next budget.

I think you're being very unfair to Republicans liars. How could they ever get elected if hey didn't lie? And anyway, how do you ever hope to bring back slavery if you don't tear down the middle class?

[kirke420]

@TIPinkUnicorn Yes, Bob McDonnell is not a friend to small business, but he is a great friend to the voter apparently..

You got make targets before you can shoot at them :-)

[kirke420]

@beechgrovejoe Well said.. I think :)

[beechgrovejoe]

@kirke420 Well he did try to attract the targets to his state before starting to shooting at them. He treated them as priviledged to make them viable targets. Then he used it to make himself look better. And the voters get nothing extra but the small business owners get more pain. Sounds like politics to me.

[kirke420]

@beechgrovejoe I gotcha now... politics as usual..

[beechgrovejoe]

@kirke420 Yep.  Who do you think would be helped by stressing SMALL business?

Our Republican Governor in Michigan is doing real bang up job!

[johncrwarner]

@tattooskin72

So he has got the state behind the wood shed and is f**king it over there, is he?

[tattooskin72]

@johncrwarner Like most Republicans he's trying to destroy public education... he's broadened the powers of EFM's so that they can basically neuter the elected local governments, which puts the city or township under state control.... so many things. He's a real piece of shit. He just keeps telling us that we need to have a better attitude... that's his answer for everything. We just aren't happy enough with our rights being taken away.

[kirke420]

@tattooskin72 Yeah, I've heard some stories... Although this whole "no compromise" chant from the tea party is really pissing me off. Contrary to their claims, the founding fathers had compromise in mind when the constitution was drafted!
