  • GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for sharing!

    

    Happy Trading!

  • The financial collapse, the stock market crash, massive unemployment and layoffs, housing foreciosures, 9/11, etc, they all happened during the Texas cowboy's watch. Of course, facts and reason mean nothing when you're blinded by idealogy. You blame any democrat who's handy, never mind that they werent in office when it happened. Its all their fault anyway.

    You're an idiot.  One can't reason with an idiot! Buh-by!

  • Rush Limbaugh is a traitor to America and should be in prison. He and Osama bin Laden both want America to fail

  • Sorry, moski, old boy. I prefer to deal in facts and logic, a concept with which you seem to be totally unfamiliar, based on your posts here.

    Continue your rants, old boy. No one cares.

  • No only Limbaugh want Obama to fail.

    But it is clean that Him, Hannity, Beck, Levin, Pragger are calling for some mentally unstable crackpot to take down the president.

    Just today Michelle Backmann was calling for Armed uprising to fight Obama.

    We know how unstable the hard liner conservatives are, and the message they are getting from these Talk show host is very, very dangerous.

  • Where is your evidence for that?

    In the mean time we see, a rise on armed crime comitted by millitan republican, in respond to the agitation promoted by FoxNews, and AM radio commentators.

    Didnt you hear about the conservative republican extremist said after he decided to kill 3 police officers with his AK47, on April 4 in Pittsburgh?

    He said he was afraid that Obama was going to take his gun away.

    Now Glenn Beck and Mike Gallager are say they are not responsible for thsoe crimes.

  • @Reddog223

    Do you think it is a coincidence this crime spree with assault weapons, just happened after republican commentators started a campaign of terror, recommending militant listeners to acquire assault weapons and not to register them?

    asking for people armed and dangerous,

    calling for sececion from the union, etc.

    And now Glenn Beck is running shows demonstrating suicide protest by setting people of fire with gassoline?

    Who is the dangerus, you have some explaining to do.

  • Rush's GOP CRime Family counts on Drug-enomics. Their plan is to stay high on Oxycontin spending $3 trillion more tax dallars to stimulate Exxon-BP-Chevron's next Iran oil colony. The GOP-PNAC-Likud Crime Family of wealthy bankers, Gay Old Pigs Duke Cunninghams, Larry Craigs, Tom Delay's Mark Foley, Ted Haggert....led by fat drug addict PRINCESS RUSH LIMBAUGH, soft criminal filth model of all GOP-OPEC-Likud-PNAC criminals: ":financial innovators with fake WMD's, fake plumbers, fakenomics

  • "Rush is proposing not to spend money while we are nearly poor".

    Hoover did exactly what Rush is advocating and it didn't go well. FDR also did that his first two years and the results were bad. The New Deal was implemented and unemployment went down steadily.

  • GDP went up and unemployment went down steadily during FDR's presidency. There was one dropoff and that was precisely the time during which FDR cut spending to balance the budget. Govt spending went through the roof for WWII and then tax rates were very high for the wealthiest Americans for the next couple decades to pay back the debt. Meanwhile the economy grew faster than it has anytime since.

  • A voice of reason in Texas!? Yee-haw! You're as scarce as a college professor at a Republican convention! It must be lonely there in the state of confusion. Keep fighting the good fight, TexanProgressive! At the very least, it makes them mad, and I love to see an angry radical hopping up and down, red in the face and shouting obscenities. Does my heart good!

  • Bush sent the national debt into the trillions and created the stock market crash. Now you want to save? It's a little late. Where were you during the last 8 years, sltleovyed820?

  • Feel the RUSH!!Conservatism and the EIB!! The people that are telling conservatives to abandon Limbaugh are the same people that claim the era of Reagan and true conservatism is dead. To hell with that and them.

  • fuck rush...

  • The problem Rush is that you need to win an election to govern.

  • No shit moron, he's not trying to govern he's giving the left an idea for a stimulus bill that is truly bi-partisan. So opinions don't matter if you're not elected? Dumbass.

  • I agree.

  • The stimulus ended up being 40% tax cuts right? That is pretty close to Rush's criterion. Of course, NONE of the republicans voted for it in congress. That will teach Obama to reach out.

  • No, it is not 40% tax cuts. However, Obama has decided to leave the Bush tax cuts in place to help stimulate the economy. I thought that didn't work?

  • According to Keynes, during a recession, you cut taxes, and lower interest rates to stimulate spending and private investment.  In addition, each dollar of govt spending is supposed to create more than 1 dollar in additional GDP (the difference depends on how far the economy is producing below its capacity with full employment). Once the recession is curbed, then you return interest rates, taxes and govt spending to steady-state levels.

    No, they work.

  • Limbaugh always says that WWII got us out of the Great Depression. That is evidence that govt spending stimulates the economy. Keynesians argue that the spending can be on defense, infrastructure, digging holes and filling them, etc. Defense spending doesn't produce a consumable commodity, yet it stimulated the economy.

    So yeah, tax cuts are better than no tax cuts, but spending is better than tax cuts.

  • Looks like Mark just got owned!!!

  • Rush is normally just full of hot air, but it's scary to say: where almost on the same page on this issue.

    Even if funneling billions of dollars into bannks that are mainly the cause of the crisis where the right thing to do, where in -the- hell do you come up with the billions of dollars?

    They're are going to print or borrow it - with interest. So what's happening is that they're reaching into the future ad taxing those people to pay for the debt we have today.

    That spells catastrophe.

  • I love the sarchasm at the end.

  • I love the look on their faces. Rush is a joke just like the recently elected Republican Party Chairman. I have no idea why CNBC is wasting their time with Rush.

  • It's so sad that a radio talk show host had to school Mark Haines an anchor of a financial news network on how the economy and business works.

  • Cocaine Hussein is a failure. He has no clue what he's doing! Between Cocaine Hussein , Botox Pelosi, Stinky Reid. THIS IS A FORMULA FOR FAILURE !! I'M ENJOYING WATCHING LMFAO!!!

  • Comment removed

  • i do not vote for politicians to get along lets leave that up to rev rodney king i vote for a politician that will fight for what i believe - its not a bad thing for dems and republicans to be at each others throats

  • hahahh the bitch at the end is like "yep corporate tax cuts makes sense YEP"

    wow

  • good on the anchor, CNBC can be counted on for fair and balanced. Anyone who gets their financial news from the Fox copycat needs their head checked

  • I remember Rush saying you cannot support the troops if you do not support the policy. Nice to see him get called out on his Hippocratic ways. .

  • Hey, this is a family show...

  • Remember 11 democrats voted against the bill as well.

  • Micahler,

    Please feel free to copiously curse my ass out as you see fit. I must admit I find it amusing!

    But please know that I would never assume that you had any sort of "life" nor would I suspect you would even be capable of "getting laid"

    Your place is here... In the history of these pages......berating dumb asses.... and stick'n it to the Man!

    Keep up the good work!

  • I believe it is probably your tremendous communication skills and command of the english language which makes your arguments so compelling.

    If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, I think you use of the word "Motherfucker" could be less subdued. Try using it more! It shows where your great communication power lies, and gives you credibilty since you want to ramble on devoid of facts or principle!

    Just a suggestion tho!

  • Dude...

    You got issues! They got medications that can help you with that

  • Man... What happened? Rush made Mark look like a complete fool! I don't get it????

  • Last November we had something called an election. Too bad Limpo can't understand this.

  • Franken is about to become senator who gives a shit what Limbaugh says.

  • Rush is an idiot.

  • so are you liberals

  • this just in: rush limbaugh does illegal drugs, and flew to the Caribbean to have sex with boys (he was caught with a bottle of viagra). If he was as poor as the rest of us, he would be in jail for a very long time.

  • that fat prick on cnbc doesnt stand a chance against rush. he started running his mouth after rush hung up the phone

  • People love to take Rush out of context and make news with it. Where were these people when the Democrats were attacking the President day after day? Talk about hypocrisy!

    This plan is about the Democrats paying back all their supporting groups and nothing more.

  • These scumsucking neocons had nothing but praise for bipartisanship when congressional democrats voted for the wafer thin 'bailout' plan from the Bush administration, but get behind Obama's stimulus? Oh, HELL NO. They can't be bothered with bipartisanship when they just lost their collective ass in the general election.

    Well, I got news for all the Rushian zombies. Here in the 6th dis. of Missouri, senator Chris 'Kit' Bond (R) is about to get the wake up call of his politcal career over this.

  • yeah this fat f**k is idiot. When is the bailout money going to trickle down. You dumb f**k's that still believe in the shit leaving dreamland. Now he wants us to cut taxes so CEO's can get bigger bonuses.

    i believe in the trickle up effect, cut income tax for those who make less than 250k. ill bet u the economy will come back stronger than ever.

  • trickle up effect? that is a joke. poor people do not employ people so how will that affect the growth of our economy?So called rich people and successful companies employ people.

    nothing trickles up genius; not water, not money, not even shit.

    that is day one lesson in being a plumber:

    payday is friday - shit runs downhill-don't bite your fingernails.

    see I just started your training to be a plumber.

    now you can go be a plumber and quit looking for someone else to take care of you.

  • all hail the fat and shinning knight.

    Rush can do no wrong.

    lets keep giving tax cuts to the Rich and Big companies so they can exploit are middle class hard working americans. let the middle class suffer. lets reallocate Americas wealth to the top two percent of America.

  • The U.S. already has the 2nd highest corporate tax in the world. As Rush said there is plenty of room to stimulate the economy right there if Obama truly seeks an "all of the above approach".

  • No, it doesn't.

  • Yes, it does.

  • Na-ahh

  • that repulsive fat fuck is the new republican leadership?- god help them...LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

  • Limbaugh is just angry, maybe hurt that Obama didn't ask him to join in the bi-partisan lunch with other conservatives.

    Fuckin loser. His ratings are going to go down and he will be gone.........

  • Obama is just angry that Limbaugh has more influence over Republicans in congress as a talk show host then Obama does as the President kerasea :-0

  • The Federal Reserve is a Private Secretive Bank that can PRINT Money at will. Printing Money causes INFLATION, INFLATION WEAKENS the BUYING POWER of the DOLLAR. So basically it's a HIDDEN TAX on the PEOPLE.

    From what I remember of History Class, our Founding Fathers had a Problem with TAXATION without REPRESENTATION.

  • I support the president, I just don't support his policies. LOL Classic Rush!!! He makes liberals look so stupid with ease.

  • Good job, Mark Haines! Way to call out that narcissistic blowhard! The same people who rail against Oprah's 'brainwashed followers' and the 'cult of Obama' will religiously listen to Rush and swallow his ratings-targeted B.S. as if he were Jesus Christ himself. Rush lies as much as (if not more than) any politician in D.C., and if you give him any credence then you're being as stupid as he wants you to be. True Republicans think for themselves. Google a news article once in awhile, people.

  • The comedian Limbaugh is only one more silly-ass entertainer like Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton. Who the hell cares what those whackos have to say about politics or economics?

  • Hmm, If I had to guess I'd say Rush is up to something deeper than what this appears to be. Well, whatever it is, knowing him it should be entertaining.

  • I've changed my mind about media bias.

    It's media dumbass!

    The girl was very fair,that older guy was a total idiot.

  • Yeah, umm. Have you seen Fox news' "Fair and Balanced" coverage? All this guy did was state the obvious. It is hypocritical to talk down to Democrats when the Republicans have total power, and then to act like a bi-partisan cruisader when the Republicans are out of power. The most balanced news in my opinion is CNN. MSNBC, is too far to the left, and Fox had its headquarters in the Bush White House for god's sake.

  • Anybody out there who would like to see republicans get out of the way of this stimulus package. Contact congress directly at #202-224-3121. Contact your own republican senator or you can ask for senator Grassey when the operator answers. Public pressure is needed so repeat calls are encouraged. please spread this message on the net. Again the number is #202-224-3121. Thanks!

  • Do you think they'll rush you right to the senator? All they do is take messages and report any abnormallities to the senator.

  • This commentator is a liberal ass and he shows it by opening his mouth. PMSNBC! Water carrier for the liberial media..

  • Oxyco..i mean Rush has a firm background in economics right? Oh wait hes a college drop out, thats right.

  • Lol , will you Americans succumb to the stupidity of right wing radio?

    The screaching about how successful U.S. domestic and foreign policies have been over the last 8 years = ROFL

    You people have a new President and are in a serious crisis .

    But if he dares to try anything different then better that your economy collapses than admit the possibility that Lasse Fare is not the only way to run a government.

  • Clintoon? I don't know who that is. Typical retard redneck can't even spell the president's name right. Clinton left a surplus; Bush wasted it in 2 years, before Iraq happened. The republicans had the last 8 years, and look what happened. Republican party failed so utterly and completely, only morons and retard rednecks would want to continue the reasons for our woes!

  • This country is full of morons, because of everyone jumps on the band wagon, whether it's conservative or liberal.

  • Th1, that's an insult, you missed it "Clintoon" instead of Clinton

  • Go Rush!

  • I wonder if Rush could understand the stimulus better if he had been able to finish his second year of college...

  • Obama and the rest of the democrats are lying to the American public. There is no stimulus in the stimulus package! it is 100% PORK!! If this "stimulus" package passes, it will extend the recession for years. Government cannot fix this recession; only the American people can. The government has no money except what they take from THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. If they take nearly a trillion dollars out of OUR POCKETS, how will we ever be able to build and expand our businesses and create new jobs?

  • the classic socialism versus capitalism idea. Obama is a socialist who wants to support capitalism, and he knows he can't do both so he puts on his masks to pretend he's for everything. I don't want antoher FDR, and i don't want another Reagan. I just wish Obama would grow up and find something better to do than pass bills about STD prevention and tons of other pork spending. He really is taking money away from us and it's upsetting, disturbing and frightening. Didn't work for FDR.

  • Didn't work? My grandparents live on Social Security...

  • Yea but the idea is it works FOREVER. I'm 19 when am i going to get my social security? The Bush Administration has told me... basically NEVER.

  • When were they ever right about anything??

  • When were they right about anything? How about Lincoln (republican) freeing the slaves. How about Republicans passing the Civil Rights Amendment while dems voted against it. How about you asking Martin Luther King if there was ANYTHING he ever did right.......He my friend was a REPUBLICAN.

  • Read closely. In reply to the previous post, the "they" in my post referred to "Bush Administration".

  • How does Rush support the president if he disagrees with the president almost all the time?

  • Just like the Democrats, "Supported the Troops but not the War". Rush wants what is best for the Country & Socialism isn't going to work. Listen, we've been through this before and the new deal didn't work. Heck the Dems even put a suggestion in that only American products can be used in the stimulus. The Tarrifs in the 30's made the Depression worse. Read "The Forgotten Man", it's so similar to what's going on now it's scarey.

  • The new deal didn't work???

    Electrification the the rural parts of the country,

    Child labor laws, federally insured banks (FDIC) irrigation policies that made America the bread basket of the world, and much more. The Great depression did not end until the war production went into effect but with out these reforms the war productIon that took place could not have happened!

    What is needed is a program of that scale, perhaps ENERGY INDEPENDANCE????!!!

  • So you're saying we need a World War III to come out of this recession?

  • We can't SPEND our way out of this. We CAN'T print money without goods or services backing up the DOLLAR. Hoover raised the Taxes on the producers in 1929, FDR put up Tariffs that screwed the country's ability to trade with the world which caused a depression on a depression. The NEW DEAL didn't get us out of the Great Depression; Bottom-line, World War II did.

  • 7.5 Trillion Dollars has been spent on the NEW DEAL & GREAT SOCIETY and we still have the same amount of POOR per capita as we did when these SOCIALST programs were started.

    I am with you about the ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. Prehaps we should start with an ENERGY POLICY that PRODUCES ENERGY. I don't see that happening with Obama's GLOBAL WARMING FREAKO Cabinet

  • sure he is, NOT, Obama is about using alternative fuel, green energy, get your facts straight you fucking dumbass

  • People wonder how Barrack Obama got elected, and how Al Gore got the Nobel Peace prize Glittering Jewel of Colossal Ignorance.

  • Until someone has a Truck that can haul goods from one end of this country to another (California to New York) using a Wind Turbine or on Solar Power, Green Energy is just a Red Herring. Electric Cars Run on COAL. We need to bridge the gap to get to this Green Energy. That's what T-Boone Pickens was talking about, and we're not going to get to this "GREEN ENERGY" without Drilling NOW because the green energy youre talking about doesn't exist.

  • You watch Fox news too much. The new deal created Social Security. Are you telling me that we should never have had Social Security? I know you'll say that WWII knocked us out of the Great Depression, but the New Deal also helped in a big way. Go back to your 5th grade history book, it will say the same thing. Try watching less Fox news, and read more history books, please.

  • So is FDS replacing BDS?

  • Social Security was never meant to be government retirement fund, it was meant to be a supplemental account to a person's retirement. You did know that hew, didn't you? Research FDR and his intentions for Social Security.

  • ?? Did I say that SS was meant to support everyone during their retirement?? Its there to help, not to support retirees through their golden years. Thats why so many people have 401k's and personal retirement accounts. Thats why people go to financial planners and so on, to plan for retirement. Whats your problem?? Why can't you just agree that Rush is a hypocrit when he acts like a Bi-partisan cruisader now, but when Republicans were in power, he always talked down to anyone who was a democrat

  • What about Nancy Pelosi and here minority rights? Talk about HYPOCRIT. Now that she has the power, the minority party can't offer their own version of bills or be involved in the committees because theyre Republican? Rush is correct, The Democrat meaning of Bi-Partisan is to agree with the Democrat. Why is it that the people ALWAYS complaining about tolerance, so intolerant? Democrats don't advocate free speech, they don't want descent.

  • im sure you cried just as hard 4 years ago. Save your tears in a bottle, i want to drink them

  • WTF are you talking about. My Point is that the DEMs had those very rights in the House to participate in writing their own versions of Bills, and they had Their seats on Committees. They even had the power to "motion to recommit with instructions to report forthwith", which enabled the Minority party to offer its final ammendments to a Bill. Not now though, not with the Dems. You Sir are an Idiot!

  • How don't they advocate free speech? Dems were Bi-partisan when the TARP fund legislation was passed, which was created by the BUSH administration. How is that NOT Bi-Partisan? TARP was created by the BUSH administration to thaw the credict crunch, and all republican polititions could think of was how they could play this vote for their upcomming elections. Instead of voting with their party they voted against it just for political reasoning. That caused the DOW to drop 800 points in1day.Goodjob

  • You're talking about Tarp. I'm talking about the NEW Stimulus Plan (850 Billion). The NEW Bill was written up by the DEMs only, without any Republican input. 11% of the Bill has Stimulus that might aid the economy. The rest of the Bill are "Earmarks" that are the Democrat partys 40 year old wet dream. 100% of the Congress that voted for the bill was DEMs. 11 DEMs voted with the Republicans against the bill; thats Bi-Partisan.

  • hey, how about supporting our president for once? we elected these guys to do this job, and to pass their agenda. if you dont like America anymore, why dont you just move to canada?

  • I love America! & I support OUR President, Just NOT His Policies! Moving to Canada wouldn't help; I'm trying to prevent America from becoming like Canada or worse. Socialism is Great, until you run out of OTHER peoples money. I thought it was uncouth the question ones Patriotism, guess that only works with Democrats?!?

  • haha, idiot, you must have been asleep for the last 8 years. questioning patriotism is what got us into iraq, unless you love terrorists or course. sucks now that youre out of power. Then again, theres always canada. seriously, America: love it or leave it

  • Wrong again... seriously, do you have an original thought in that thick skull of yours? As the saying goes; repeat a lie enough times, the lie becomes truth. Violations of UN Resolution 1441 and its 17 resolutions that Saddam openly violated got us into Iraq. Questioning Patriotism had nothing to do with how w got into Iraq. Since you like talking about Canada, did you know 550 Metric TONS of Yellowcake Uranium was moved out of Iraq and sent to Canada in 3500 barrels? (reported July 7th, 2008)

  • Did you know that Colin Powel, was duped into selling the war at the UN? Remember all the facts the republicans had given him, that audio tape, all the evidence of WMD's in underground warehouses? ALL LIES. They overstate one side of the story so nitwits like you can believe it. Tell me, where are the WMD's Manitu?

  • Google; "Chemical Weapons Found in Iraq from the June 27, 2006", Google; "550 Metric TONS of Yellowcake Uranium was moved out of Iraq and sent to Canada in 3500 barrels", Google; "Nancy Pelosi gets WMD report" if you would like to see the Declassified report of the 500 WMD's found in Iraq. This will also show you the House Members who saw the report, so you can see who is lying to you and the public.

  • SADDAM WAS OUR BASTARD !!!

    The U.S. provided Saddam with most of the Weapons he used against the Kurds and our troops. BUT the worst is: We described the Talibans in Afghanistan as "Liberators" and provided them with all kinds of Weapons. We should be a little bit careful in helping all these "liberators" and "freedom fighters".

  • The Taliban is the Pakistani ISI (Inter-service Intelligence) and was not supported by the US. However to straighten things out for you; the Mujahedeen was supported by the US Government, and was the Liberators of Afghanistan. I fail to see the point that if we once supported someone in the past (Saddams War against Iran), we must be doomed to support this person in spite of their mistakes or problems. Saddam Hussein was a very bad man, period. Mistake corrected.

  • It is NOT enough to admit your errors. You have to learn from them and be a little bit more careful. That is all I am asking from our government. 'Cause we are providing AGAIN the Iraqis with weapons and other stuffs they might use against us someday.

  • I should start charging you guys for the education Im providing you. You're Welcome :)

  • Realize WMDs was only part of the reason for the US to go into Iraq but this should address the issue you presented to some satisfaction.

  • In my world 550 Metric Tons of Yellowcake Uranium isn't an overstatement. My only wonder is where are the missing cataloged 8.5 tons of Anthrax and 4 tons of Nerve gas the UN inspectors found before they were kicked out in 1998??

  • you should also Google; " What Clinton said about Iraq in 1998"and you'll get... "Earlier today I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces," Clinton said. "Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors," said Clinton. I guess George Bush must have got to Bill and DUPED Clinton before JW got to be President?

  • I hope you can see that I'm not the one "spouting off about the mouth". Yes, I watch FOX News. Yes, I Listen to Rush Limbaugh. Yes, I watch CNN, NBC, CNBC, Cspan, ABC, CBS. What seperates me from you and the rest of the average American public is that I "Trust but Verify". I use the power of the Internet to check the sources.

  • I think I've demonstrated who the "Mind Numbed Robot" really is. Maybe you should be watching FOX News, or at least check into the stories using the internet these other guys are telling you. You really need to be more objective than you are if you want to be informed.

  • With all that Yellowcake Saddam must have been saving that stuff up for his new "Green" Compact Florescent Light Bulb program?? Whatcha Think??

  • How did we get here? Was it the free market that created this problem in the economy? My bet is that youre going to give me the mantra that says it was greed, failure in the free market. My bet is that youre going to say the Bush Administration failed to regulate Freddy and Fanny, and you would be wrong. I would tell you how many times the Bush administration tried to fix Freddy and Fanny but I suppose I would be wasting my time because the DEMs are beyond crimination in your eyes.

  • Why not give the new President a chance? You say that I wouldn't dare critisize the DEMs, but let me ask this, would you admit to them being right? During the Clinton Era we had one of the best economic expansions in our history, and yet what do Republicans comment about? The BLUE DRESS!!!! Man, who cares, he increase the average persons disposable income by thousands, and helped create I believe it was over 21 million jobs. If Obama's helps create or save 10 million jobs in his first term...

  • All republicans will talk about is how he sucks in bowling or something equally rediculous. I can't believe that all you extreme right wingers still believe that FDR didn't help bring back the American economy. It was the war huh? Then how come the Iraq/Afghanstan wars haven't done much in helping this economy smart guys. Why is it that most historians say that war has a negative effect on an economy, not a possitive. You try and say at least a few good things about a democrat... hypocrit.

  • Social Security!?! Talk about the biggest Ponzi scheme in Human History. Did you know that in order for Social Security to fulfill the program as it has been written, there needs to be 106 TRILLION Dollars in escrow. You and I know there isnt enough money; in fact as of 2018 there will be more people taking from the program than putting into it. Social Security is Bankrupt! Socialism works great until you run out of people to take money from.

  • The Representatives in Government couldn't keep there greedy little hands out of Social Security; You have LBJ and the Great Society" to thank for that.

  • Could you please explain the 106 Trillion in escrow to me. Baby boomers and low population growth in the states also has plenty to do with the depleting SS fund. You think its better for the children of the retired folks to take care of them 100%? SS helps keep people with little to retire, on their feet.

  • The unfunded liability of Social Security and Medicare is $101.7 TRILLION Dollars according to the National Center for Policy Analysis. [John C. Goodman, April 28, 2008; Making Ideas to Change the World]. According to the report we owe as of today 57 Trillion dollars. GIANT PONZI SCHEME!

  • It is a ponzi scheme in the sence that our population will keep on growing and there will be more working people then retired people. Problem today is that the babyboomers are retiring which creates an imbalance in the ponzi scheme, and population growth is slow. I still don't get why we owe 57 Trillion dollars. Are you saying if we end SS tax, we will owe 57 Trillion to the 250 million or so that are yet to retire? Why would we end SS tax?

  • I am saying that Social Security has been irresponsibly funded. If the leaders in government would have left the money alone the interest rate alone would have let the moneys keep up with the demand of the program. I am saying Social Security looks good on paper but was doomed to fail because in order to fund it you take from one class of people to give to another class and because the bureaucracies that run the program use the program as a piggy bank (since LBJ). Social Security is a Failure.

  • I've got a stimulus for Limbaugh......Have ClearChannel Communications take back the $400mil new contract they signed him to.........and have all Americans hit him where his hurts...."in his pocketbook" and boycott his sponcers such as "GotoMeeting" and "Carbonite"!!

  • OBAMA-LIMBAUGH STIMULUS PLAN

    Obama's partisan "answer" to Republican objections to HIS stimulus plan was to say "I won". Obama then suggested that Limbaugh is their leader.

    Well, Limbaugh stepped up and put together a bi-partisan stimulus plan -- recognizing Obama's 53%-46% win:

    Infrastructure Spending (54%): $486B

    Tax Cuts (46%): $414B

    TOTAL: $900B

    Generously, Limbaugh even gives Obama (spending-side) the residual 1% wacko vote.

  • Bi-Partisanship? Interesting that democrats were bi-partisan when they voted for the Iraq war and then blamed Bush for their vote. Then they took Partisanship to a new level. Resiting everything Bush tried to do until he asked for 700 billion dollars for the bailouts. Then who begged for votes? DEMOCRATS begged for votes. If that money went to Bush and his friends then Obama and the oversite people (Democrats) are complicite. But it hasnt been spent yet huh. Now the Democats ask for 850?

  • Limbaugh is an old unhappy person whom need to sit down and get his soul ready to meet his maker.

  • Boy, oh boy, Bush and Dick sure have left the Country in a much stronger position (not). After letting there corporate buddies rape and pillage multiple generations of Americans, It makes me sad that any American forms their opinions based on what comes out of Limbaughs mouth.

  • If you want to know how well this country will do with the Democraps controlling the White House, the Senate, the Congress, Hollywood and the Media, then look at how well California is doing! Arnold is giving out IOU's to the people! Look at Michigan.... Chicago.... any place that is controlled by the DImWit Party will become a Nanny State! The ONLY thing the Dem's have to offer is Hand-Outs! Can they buy your vote?

    What are we going to do when there are MORE takers then tax-paying worders?

  • Arnold is a Republican.

  • Arnold is a Republican

  • Thanks for just proving that Republicans are uninformed. Do me a favor, stop listening to Fox News and Limbaugh, and try a more unbias news network like CNN.

  • HewHew,

    I do watch CNN and FOX News..... but I do NOT watch the TRASH coming out of MessNBC! I am not very impressed with a station, that has one guy(KeithBendOverMAN)yelling at pictures of people, who can't talk back or having one who have a tingle running up his leg, because he just heard the "ONE" talk!

    If you can't see the biased from that channel, then you are an Idiot!

  • olbermen a fucking asshole

  • Did I say the Olberman show was unbias? NO.

  • ....

    Can the U.S. go more like Rome? Two counsels working together, instead of one president?

  • and do you notice how they get thir little nipetts in when rush go off the air and cant respond to it more cool aid pumpen harts

  • the great one knows socialism will fail that why he is saying what he is saying but he does want the country to do well on the other hand i believe obama knows it will fail also but he doesnt have the brass to get on air and tell you he would like the country to fail wich he know will happen obamas hart pumps cool aid

  • Anyone stupid enough to think Capitalism Failed should never vote again. Capitalism was killed by Government. Capitalism means Freedom and Freedom is the enemy of Government.

    Be happy on Obama's Plantation. It's what you voted for and it's what you deserve.

  • Ah, Mark. His bias stuck out like a sore thumb.

  • Hey RUSH!

    Who the fuck ever voted for you?

    Your ideology is IRRELEVANT.

    So go be FAT somewhere else!

  • Boo Hoo Libtard Boo Hoo lmfao!! Rush is Right !!!! Libtards are Wrong!!!

  • Oh yeah, is thats why Bush did so well? oh thats right, he didn't! Republicans=Retard Rednecks!

  • Liberals = FAGGOTS and sissy.

  • Oh suck an intelligent argument. Whats the matter? The truth hurt. Were are also intelligent, that can't be said George "I can't use proper grammar Bush" And Sarah " I don't know what newspapers I read" Palin. The republican party has failed so miserably it ought to be the very defintion of miserable failure! Bill Clinton succeed. And so will Obama!

  • Better get with the program.

    YOU LOST

  • Good all around, but whose the babe?

  • Limbaugh = neo-con-munist tool.

  • I also support the President if he does the right thing. Bi-partisanship is a joke. Bi-partisanship is code for the GOP to just go along with the party in charge.

  • Um... The repubs want Obama to fail. Everything they do will work for their election in 2010. They have to make things worse for that to happen.

  • This isn't true at all. Things can get better and people can still get pissed at Your Messiah for being communist and socialist.
