Detailing the FY2011 Budget

[forenough]

personally, whether its a rep or dem, i dont think they should have anything to do with the economy, everything the gov touches gets screwed up and the people have to pay. have a happy Independence day. by the way. IN dependence day

[AlanDownunder]

Don't Americans realise that one flag is enough?

[jeffmonc2]

What a completely political explanation of the budget. Trillion dollar deficits were not in the Republican budget - this is insane runaway spending by the Democrats in a dangerous time. All on their little projects are in this - giving money to their voters and more weirdly financial focus on greenhouse gases.

[SecondLifeEnglish]

am surprised this guy didn't come out and say...look, all we need are a few more flags...that will fix everything...

[mrrepublican1234]

Oh, I believe Romer has now resigned too. This is what happens when you put academics who have never even so much as run a lemonade stand much less had to satisfy the needs of voluntary customers in order to actually make a payroll in charge of your country's economy. Oh wait, that same comment would apply to the POTUS...which is why he hates businesspeople so much. He could never financially survive in a truly competitive environment like that. Still yet, he runs our country, God help us.

[mrrepublican1234]

There is no FY 2011 budget and Orszag has resigned. Tell me again how an democrat whitehouse with an undeniable congressional majority that rammed the stimulus bill & Obamacare down our country's throat now has the right to preach to us what we should and should not do about a mosque at ground zero, AZ border security, our children's diets, & myriad other inappropriate issues when they lie about the economic recovery & set this kind of irresponsible juvenile fiscal example with our tax revenue.

[overlordsshadow]

This guy makes they exact same gestures as Obama.

[ipodagogo]

Without the recovery act, 2 million more jobs would have been lost. Bush left an 8 year mess which isn't going to be fixed overnight. Bushes tax cuts to those who made over 250,000 are going to be gone by next year so they will be paying those taxes most are afraid of not the low to middle class. They have lowered taxes for 90% of families as well. Of course there are those in the press who don't want you to see that side of it.

This joo keeps talking but he

ain't sayin' nothin'

scumbag bum, i'd spit in his lying face

[Thejbirdy]

Sometimes the people trying to bring this President down are going to tell the sky is plaid color even if it's blue. Distortions, empty rhetoric, malpropsims, you name it I have seen it tried on this forum.

No surprises there.

[NookulerFreedom]

When is the military going to step in?

When?

[politicalfarce]

Riiiight, because the military industrial complex is not just as corrupt and greedy.

You moron.

[NookulerFreedom]

OMG

Look at this self hating Jew NAZI.

This guy needs to die.

[groundhog2008]

It is hard seeing what looks like a man talking, but then you hear what sounds like a woman's voice. I would much rather see Michelle Obama talk!

[DojoNDude]

People need to wake-up. We have a job and wage crises in America! Get on your representatives to end NAFTA and CAFTA, insist on fair tariffs, make it unprofitable for companies to outsource their operations. It's your country. Organize and get it done. The French show more guts than we do when dealing with their politicians. Pretty sad.

[Thejbirdy]

Boy the Bush lovers called us "whiners" but I've never seen such griping, fussing, kevetching, crybabies who need their diapers changed immediately this go around or the United States will so FAIL in just one year in office! My baby is even more mature than these people.

Astounding.

[SemperFidelis1993]

Don't get me wrong Bush was an idiot but his successor is just as big of a moron. Both are/were puppets who have either directly or indirectly chipped away at our constitutional freedoms.

Really the only thing that irks me about politics is that people seem put little to no research into their "guy" and seem to vote purely on a basis of party.

Voters should always do research into who they think they are going to vote for such as previous voting records.

I seem to rambling now..

RonPaul2012

[politicalfarce]

Name one way we are less free because of Obama.

What ACTIVE steps did he take to reduce your liberty?

Name them specifically

[RebelRouserMC]

More lies, and looting of the american people..more factories and jobs sent to china.. More freedoms and liberty lost ..

Im watching the La Raza witch on CSPAN crying about immagrants not having jobs in america,,

Thanks for selling out the United States,you all need to go to prison!

[ReliableInsider]

GDP went from *declining* by more than 5% a year under Bush to *increasing* by more than 5% a year under Obama.

That's progress!

That's how you create enough jobs so that everyone who wants one can have one. That's how you eliminate the national debt.

[san77vb]

and it has nothing to do with the damn politicians, of whatever socalled party they are from

[namename654]

I'm impressed with the intelligence displayed, and that they seem to communicate so openly. I am still a skeptic with an enormous deficit. I do acknowledge the benefits to small businesses and education, as well as the efforts to pause present unnecessary spending.

Whether it will fetch a second look or not, I think the width between GDP and unemployment could be from optimization inline with IT. From what I can see, it will continue in the future to terminate jobs.

[FaithfulAndTrue1]

There are no people in the audience... maybe a camera man...

You're the man

ALL R LIARS

[chfjosh]

It is funny to see dkkght's comment being one hour ago after I swithced over from another Obama video...its about the budget..... which makes common sense if you are like MOST of us and live from paycheck to paycheck because of outrageous college costs and through the roof costs of bare minimum living....... why don't you try to taking your own advice and try to start everyday with positively improving your life and not wasting your time with negatively discussing the presidents optimistic ideas

[ShooterMaGavin]

Humans are stupid fucking organisms.

[dkkght46]

Change and fiscal responsibility, my ass!!! Obama is worse than any other before him. Obama must be removed now. HOW TO BEGIN EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK 1. Open a new file in your computer. 2. Name it 'Barack Obama'. 3. Send it to the Recycle Bin. 4. Empty the Recycle Bin. 5. Your PC will ask you: 'Do you really want to get rid of 'Barack Obama?' 6. Firmly Click 'Yes.' 7. Feel better? GOOD! - Tomorrow we'll do Nancy Pelosi

[politicalfarce]

@dkkght46

I know, I hate how Obama managed to prevent a 2nd Great Depression.

Just like you, I hate America, and whenever things are getting better for America thanks to our President, I get ANGRY.

I miss Bush, he ALMOST managed to destroy America, and then here comes Obama and starts fixing things!

Not to worry, Palin will finish Bush's job soon enough, thanks to morons like you.

[huntsman1230]

@politicalfarce obama did not prevent jack. what is getting better in america?

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

huntsman1230: 20 million american children have healthcare. You have better relations with the world! You have credit card protection. You are investing in stem cell research which could prevent diseases like alzeimers. Lilly Ledbetter Act means equal pay for equal days work which benefits men as well as women and minorities. Halting the recession, and stopping it from turning into a Depression. Giving states money to keep firemen, police teachers in their jobs. Obama has done all this and more!

[huntsman1230]

@iLuvAkeys4ever employment rate is lower than ever, people dropping like flies. im not impressed with political feel good agendas which is exactly what all of that is. better relations with the world? what does that mean? bc obama apoogized for our advancement? their leaders scoff at the us behind obamas back. more people in this country are behind our military than they are him. the way it needs to be.

[SemperFidelis1993]

MMM MMM MMM

[politicalfarce]

Dear huntsman, when Bush left office we were losing 700,000 jobs/month.

Under Obama we are losing ZERO jobs/month.

THAT is an example of something that is getting better in America.

I KNOW you hate that. I too hate it when America does well thanks to a Democrat. I'd rather see the country fail than admit that a Dem is better at governing than a Rep. That's because I'm a conservative 1st, and an American 2nd. Just like you.

FUCK America, we both hate it. God Bless Red States!

[Davidhillberg]

Oboma lost no governmental gobs whill we are in a depression

[SemperFidelis1993]

Losing "ZERO jobs/month.

You have to be kidding.

Weren't there 40-something states that lost jobs last month?

No what I hate is that the ill-informed public keeps voting in puppets that continue to what little we have of a once truly free republic.

Republicans = Democrats

[politicalfarce]

I'm sorry that numbers make your head hurt.

But facts are facts.

We were losing 700,000 jobs/month when Bush was President, we are now losing ZERO.

It's still not good, because we should be CREATING jobs, but seriously, you can't dispute the facts.

I mean, you can, but then you look like an idiot and everybody laughs at you.

[SemperFidelis1993]

@politicalfarce

Your making yourself look like an idiot for not providing your source of this information. Now please humor me.

Where I am in Georgia the unemployment rate has risen 40% since December '09 and climbing.

[politicalfarce]

We can agree to disagree on opinions.

We CANT agree to disagree on FACTS.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that unemployment in Georgia is at 10.1%. It was 10.3% at it's highest and actually dropped since this summer.

Facts are facts. Sorry.

That figure of 40%, you pulled it out of your ass. Just made it up.

[SemperFidelis1993]

@politicalfarce

Lets just agree to disagree on this because quite frankly I am tired of arguing with people on youtube for the time being.

[Madfoot713]

"We were losing 700,000 jobs/month when Bush was President, we are now losing ZERO."

Where the heck did you get that from? o_O

[politicalfarce]

I got that from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.

blsDOTgov

I know that facts are really really painful t people like you, but please try.

[SemperFidelis1993]

@politicalfarce

Found the information I was looking for.

If there are no more unemployment claims explain why jobless claims rose 480,000 this week.

What the government says and what the truth actually is can be two very different things.

[politicalfarce]

Oh my God you are slow.

YES, there were 480,000 new jobless claims this week.

BUT, there were also about 500,000 previously unemployed people who got employed this week.

Therefore the NET change has been that 20,000 MORE people are employed than before.

Plus, multiple additional economic indicators, such as household spending, average earnings, consumer confidence, etc, are steadily going up, together with the stock market and our GDP.

Things are getting better, slowly but surely.

[Madfoot713]

"I know that facts are really really painful t people like you, but please try. "

Why are you insulting me? I was just asking because it was an unbelievable statistic. You can't ask me to know this stuff off the top of my head. Can you point out where it says the unemployment rate is 0? B/c as of November, it was 10%, which was higher than it's been in years.

Also, I don't see why you're talking to Semper as if he is a conservative. He clearly isn't (even though he dislikes Obama).

[politicalfarce]

I didn't say the unemployment rate is zero. The unemployment rate is now 10%.

Last month it was 10%

Therefore it hasn't increased over the last 30 days.

Therefore no additional jobs have been lost this month.

The number of jobs lost this month? ZERO.

Number of Jobs lost in last month of Bush admin? 700,000.

Bush: Unemployment GOES UP!!!

Obama: Unemployment at least stays stable. It will go down soon enough.

[politicalfarce]

To answer your question about why I'm insulting you:

If you are 13 years old, I apologize for insulting you.

If you're older than that, you SHOULD KNOW THIS BASIC STUFF!!! What's the matter with you. Educate yourself you stupid American! Stop voting for people you'd want to have a beer with, and know your friggin facts!!!!

Here you are watching a clip about a highly complex economic issue, and you don't know squat!

Sorry, but I am angry at America's pride in its ignorance.

[Madfoot713]

So you expect me to know this stuff off the top of my head? Jesus Christ.

Anyway, you said that zero jobs have been lost this month. You didn't say the net increase was 20,000, you said that zero people lost their jobs. That's what I was surprised at. You're to blame here for being unclear, not me for being "ignorant".

[politicalfarce]

Fine, I was, objectively, a bit rude to you. I am sorry. It comes from intense frustration at the overall ignorance that people display on youtube and in the country's political discourse overall.

I still feel that knowing that there has been a net gain in jobs, as opposed to a loss, is crucial. It's about as basic a piece of knowledge as the fact that there are 100 senators. If anybody follows politics at all, they should know that.

[Madfoot713]

Ok, that isn't what you said though, you said that zero jobs were lost in the last month. >_>

[politicalfarce]

Saying "zero jobs werre lost last month" obviously means that the NET number of jobs lost is ZERO.

Come on.

It's absurd to think that in any given month not even one person would get fired in the whole country!

It's like saying "The world population grew this year". That does NOT imply that NOBODY DIED that year, just that there were more births than deaths!

There is ALWAYS a constant flow, and the overall NET number of jobs lost or created is what matters.

[Madfoot713]

"It's absurd to think that in any given month not even one person would get fired in the whole country!"

Well, yeah, but that's what you said. Clearly, it wasn't what you meant, but it's what you said, so man up and admit you misspoke.

[zonie1953]

HUH

[texas224]

A tribute to our president

[morethansalt]

What I will say to those federal employees is be grateful that you have a job! Disabled folks and retirees who receive Social Security haven't gotten an increase this year, why should federal employees?

[Traininghopper]

42minutes and 6 seconds translated into one phrase: Oops.

[Nobody2989]

@Traininghopper Did you even watch the damn video? I mean, if you disagree with something, that's fine, but to simplify an almost hour long discussion on something as complex as budget analysis into one word is wrong on so many levels. I don't care if you're comment was directed at Repubs or Dems, you are an idiot of a commentator (even for Youtube), and I pray to Breezus no one actually forms an opinion on what you wrote. FU TROLL.

[FatalAnimal]

Be sure to go on the and do a google search for memama2 and his communist plot to undermine the good citizens of the USA

[bluetablepainting]

He does make an excellent point with the "winding down of the wars..." as they are eating up a large portion of the already over-strained budget. There should be no deficit. The Federal Government is grossly overspending and over-reaching its constitutional bounds. Please stop! At least taxation is honest to some degree because it lets the populace feel the pain. With the printing of money the pain is delayed many years and it's hard to identify the source of the discomfort.

[pgunn01]

What constitutional bounds are you talking about?

[bluetablepainting]

Reduce the deficit? This means "don't overspend by as much as before". How about STOP the deficit? Meaning, "live within your means." There is no serious talk about reduction of spending. It's the size and scope of the Federal Government that is the core of the problem.

[politicalfarce]

I disagree that it's the size of the Government that is the issue. It's the gvmt's INCOMPETENCE.

If we hadn't invaded Iraq, if we hadn't given tax cuts to billionaires, if we hadn't given a huge subsidy to insurance companies under Bush, we wouldn't be in this hole.

Remember under "Big Government" Democrat bill Clinton, we had a SURPLUS.

The big v small argument is way too simplistic.

[pgunn01]

The moon landing was a fake, the earth is really flat, science is fake and astrology is real, the tooth fairy and santa klaus exist, blah blah blah.

[morethansalt]

pgunn01- only genuine Republicans are allowed to know these facts! LOL

[memama2]

Magical Liberal Math adding up to a DISASTOR for this country! = "dear leaders" drones do not know how to create jobs and do not know how to help the economy and they now want to BORROW MORE MONEY?...... lol!....are the Obamas going to Ireland to look for that pot'o'gold? This guy takes STUPID and raises it to a NEW LEVEL with a little help from "top O the mornin to ya" O'BlahBlah's edicts and error ridden ideals!

[politicalfarce]

You are so right memama!

Here they are with all their numbers and stuff, saying stuff that makes our brain hurt!

Why can't they be like Bush, and let us blissfully watch American Idol while they sell our country to multinational corporations?

I LIKE how Bush almost destroyed our country! There is nothing wrong with destroying America, as long as you do it as a Republican President.

[voyeurdug]

Not to worry, troll-watchers, they'll be by soon enough with their cuttings, pastings and freeform hate speech.

Interested they acknowledged the three-plus decade downsizing of the civilian component of the DoD (essentially since the fall of Saigon)... that's hamstrung the military all that time.

[Voltegasproductions]

tl;dr we are owned by china ty have a nice day

[Thejbirdy]

We keep cleaning up and the Republicans come right back in and screw everything up again.

Time for new politics America, the OLD hackneyed Reagan-Bush conservatism is as DEAD in the water as disco.

@Thejbirdy

From your comment to God's ears!

[Stingerbillion]

@Thejbirdy I agree. But it is also the fault of democratic voters. If they don't come out and vote for Obama or the democrats, then you will have Republicans back in power to screw things up. It's that simple. People, from 18+, need to vote. You can't expect to change things by not voting. It will only fuck up more. Give Republicans this country back, and they will destroy it to the point that we'll be worse than 3rd world. Don't bitch and whine when GOP screw things up, it's your fault.

[Thejbirdy]

@Stingerbillion No bitching here my friend...I VOTE! The Republicans will tax the poor back to the STONE AGE and cut the middle class completely out so only the wealthiest run the country...JUST LIKE CZARIST RUSSIA AGAIN! Nice job Repugnicans...Imperialist USA!

[Stingerbillion]

@Thejbirdy I agree with you. I wasn't venting about you, but those people who don't vote and are considering doing that in 2012.

[Thejbirdy]

@Stingerbillion I knew you weren't too and I was making a point how the Republicans are bullies and will stop at nothing to bring this nation to it's knees....Bush family were/are PARASITES.....PURE AND SIMPLE.

[Stingerbillion]

@Thejbirdy Totally.

[FatalAnimal]

Que the anti-american birthers and illiterate right-wing nut job posts in the comments section of the whitehouse youtube channel.

LOL.
