@gonzoman1001. Okay, you oversimply Norway but letting that slide, just next door Sweden has no oil and a largely population and they have are listed with a standard of living ranked 3rd in the world. Norways number 1 so it's not a HUGE difference
I hate it when political speakers avoid answering the question and script talking points they memorized that are relatively close to the question while still not answering the question. Cut their mics off and move on to someone else who will answer that question DIRECTLY!
The Young Jerks at it again, more lies. He wasn't asked twice what he's going to do for the unemployed, but rather to describe why federal unemployment benefits weren't Constitutional.
Yes, we deserve out money back, but he's saying our money shouldn't be taken in the first place. Also, the federal govt should get out of our way and allow us to prosper.
And NO, the Commer Clause does not enumerate that the federal govt is obliged to provide unemployment benefits.
The unemployed are given money from the taxes that they payed. And they must pay it back at a higher rate once they get a job again.
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
To let you know, I'd have to tell you to go finish highschool and graduate college. Until then, your mind will be too deluded to accept actual facts. So sorry.
When you're willing to use your brain and not just your brain stem while on Youtube, let me know.
Dude, you quoted from the Constitution the duties of Congress, where THERE IS NO REFERENCE TO PAYING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, which was the subject. To "lay and collect taxes," etc., DOES NOT EQUAL "paying unemployed people while they're out of work." Maybe its found in the "Good & Plenty clause," huh?
But no, I'm not even a high school graduate, so anything I have to say shouldn't be considered, right? GO FUCK YOURSELF if you can't handle the actual facts. Enjoy your made-up ones.
@chasingimagination1 He mentioned Marbury vs Madison in which allowed the Supreme court to perform Judiciary review to determine if something is constitutional. There hasn't been any rulings are far as I know. Plus giving that kind of power to a single branch disrupts our checks and balances.
The Young Turks are such idiots, they are completly missing the point. What he means is that it is techincally unconsitutional for the Federal Government to be managing these things. Violates the 10th Amendment.
I wouldn't for a politician who wants to be a politician, every one of them in my opinion are in politics for the promotion of their own egos, that and to keep the ruling class in the ruling position. The world needs a revolution.
lmao the happiest countries in the world are the socialist Scandinavian countries...not to mention they have some of the best education and living standards too. free healthcare, low prison population, it goes on and on. they're like fucking utopias and here we are saying THEY need to change? doesn't make sense to me -.-
It really pisses me off when republicans call unemployment benefits ans an "entitlement program" We payed into it, it is not an entitlement program. It's more like an insurance policy. grrrrr
It's always these Republican jerks with a silver spoon up their ass that are so quick to condemn all social programs for the welfare of the population!
@Lennon4ever1 when you are on a social program it means you have FAILED to take care of yourself! no silver spoon here just a conservative that worked her ass off to get where she is in life.
@mandy26lez Oh I see..I guess you've never had financial problems huh? Social programs are there to help people during a temporary setback and help them survive while they seek employment. What the hell is wrong with a government that helps it's population?? And these programs ALL have work-search requirements and training programs that help create jobs and improve the economy. And I know all about working my ass off, so don't pull that shit with me!
@Lennon4ever1 Nope because I saved my money just in case there was an emergency! Unfortunately social programs were intended for what you described and it has turned into a lifestyle for most welfare recipients. I have no problem giving money to the sick and disabled. I have a problem giving it to able bodied people. They are the ones that I referred to as failures. I'm sure you work your ass off but you painted all conservatives as having a silver spoon including myself and that isnt the case.
@mandy26lez Ok, I'll concede that there are lazy recipients. Although even Welfare in my state has stringent work-search requirements as it should be. In New Jersey they've gone from welfare to WORKfare, so the lazy bunch does not have it so easy anymore.
Alaskans have begun supporting me already. This guy didn't answer the questions at all. The answers are monetary sovereignty and local ingenuity/options.
Jobs, health care, homes, etc all can be handled easily on a local level.
The national debt is due to a raw deal with the Fed. We should be printing, not borrowing. Poverty could quickly be solved never to be seen again.
This guy is a douche, didn't answer the question. I got laid off out of the blue and unemployment ins. helped me out. I guess that makes a socialist. This is why I am leaving the GOP, tired of their blind indeology.
I live in Canada, we have National Healthcare which is paid for by Taxes and no one's complaining. I think it's sick that in the States you consider people wanting assistance and healthcare have entitlement issues. Under article 16 of the Geneva convention for human rights it states that the government is responsible for providing healthcare to its citizens, The US is in violation of the Geneva conventions and human rights!
People who are so amazingly stupid that they think ANYONE could rise to the office of President of this country without having his (or her) background checked 9 ways to Sunday shouldn't even be allowed to vote. Instead we should hang a sign around their necks that says, "I'm too stupid to be allowed to vote" and make them walk back and forth in front of the polling places.
The workers pay for unemployment benefits. The money is taken out of our pay checks. There exists certain people in politics who believe they have the right to take that money and use it as they see fit. That's not right. I pay in to unemployment so if I ever need it it's available.
SECTION. 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; ...
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts,...
(section 9) shall have power "To regulate Commerce..."
Sorry unemployment benefits are not unconstitutional. At all.
I'm in debt, just like the USA, but I'm not broke and neither is the USA. The reactionaries don't mind stripping the middle class of its rights and its money, kicking the American worker in the tail, but don't make the super rich pay their fair share, and don't even consider asking the corporations to pay their back taxes. Let's get our priorities right; trickle down theories never worked - bubble up theories always get the economy moving.
@yarmo28 So, if Bubble Up really worked, wouldn't the Govt. want to Give that money to the Whino on the street? Let's see the lowest of th elower class take money and turn it into MORE Money!! What a joke!!If 2 men are on the strret, 1 in a suit and carrying a briefcase and reading the WS Journal man 2 has snot on his arm, is drinking MD 2020 and rambling to the street lamp! Which man will "Buble Up? to create jobs and wealth!??The rich pay propotinatley ( sp) MUCH more!!
@savgal1211 Mr A. in suit and briefcase probably doesn't need any assistance. He already has a job, pays taxes, and contributes. He may be on a limited budget, but he does manage quite well. Your Mr B. - an extreme example - is actually the kind of person who would spend - and isn't that what gets the economy back on its feet? He will buy another bottle - making work for the vineyard, glass blowers, shop keepers, etc. That money will eventually get into the banking system. That's how it works.

@yarmo28 BTW, Corporations, if we so called 'raise the taxes" on them, they do not care, as they do one of 2 things 1 Relocate overseas 2 They will then pass any increase onto the Consumer!!!
@savgal1211 BTW, corporations can be regulated. Tariffs on goods imported into the USA by American corporations headquartered overseas would limited the corporate 'bottom-line', which is really all they care about. We allow foreign corporations to make products here for sale here; they hire Americans to do the work. I have nothing against US corporations doing the same thing, as long as they don't try to import their foreign products into the USA.
@savgal1211 BTW, Corporations, if we so called 'raise the taxes" on them, they do not care, as they do one of 2 things 1 Relocate overseas 2 They will then pass any increase onto the Consumer!!!
Let them relocate overseas! Terrif the shit out of their products and watch them be replaced by a corporation that plays by the rules and pays their fair share of taxes! EU countries have WAY higher corporate taxes and those businesses are doing just fine!
@savgal1211 ...and if they "pass the increase on to the consumer" A) the consumer will just buy from the corporation that doesn't. b) That's OK because the aggragate increase in prices would be negligable (i.e. a nickle more for a hamburger) but the benefits (paying down the national debt... not owing China.. better education, infrustructure...etc) outweighs the cost.
@savgal1211 The price of things is determined by supply and demand so increasing taxes on corporations doesn't have a direct effect on that.. It's ok to tax corporations more. We have the power not them remember they get ALL their money from us --the consumers and the workers.
Yes, we have DEBT -- so instead of REDUCING MILITARY SPENDING which TAKEs up the biggest CHUCK of this Deficit, Interest paid to THE FED (a Corp entity), Overblown Campaigns Spending, TAXes for the Rich, stealing Entitlements -- CRAP olla ; make this guy unemployed & see how he survives. AMerICANs need 2pay 4Elections to make them Auditable, Fair, & support the US Constitution & Bill ofRights!
Answer: "Well, I'm not going to answer your question so I'm going to tell you the answer to the question I pretended you asked me because I have numbers that I need to spew out to let people know that I know what I'm talking about." in other words, "NOTHING"
Typical Politician...Douche-Bag!...The American people should demand the U.S. Government to be ran like the British Government ...in the aspect of if you are uneffectual your fired and will be replaced!...End of your term effective immediately...And so on and so forth...Until you purge the corrupt system that it is...By the people for the people!
@schicktd I care about the US people too much to let them copy us over the pond...you're a superpower nation - the UK is comissioning aircraft carriers to be built when they know they cannot fly planes on them for ten years....says it all really
I agree with alot of what miller's saying but ... you didn't answer the question. people who collect unemployment did pay in unemployment insurance in their taxes.
I am disabled. I cannot work. I get social security. I AM entitled to that money. People like you need to take care of people like me.
It is an entitlement. You know why? Because I am entitled to it. It's not Joe Miller's money. It's my money. And I deserve it. You're damn right I have an entitlement mentality. Know why? Because I'm entitled.
@xJoeEDangerouslyx youre entitled because youre entitled? great argument. if you worked prior to being disabled than yes you are entitled ESPECIALLY if you were disabled on the job. but saying "im entitled because im entitled" is fuckin retarded
@TwistedComplex - Kid, sometimes you're entitled simply because you are but it always stems from some level of reason. If a person pays for an insurance policy and a legitimated claim evolves, then that person is 'entitled' to receive the agreed upon proceeds of the policy. However, in the case of our gov, it's more looka , you paya me or else you go to the jail. If you have problem, I might give you some money. Maybe a leetle.... until I can figure out what to do with you
the tea party in the government would be the end of america........oh my god........................2012................the end of days............................ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@HighnRichChiller - Sure the Tea Party would not be the end of America. The end of America has already taken place. Now we will watch it crumble. People just won't take the time to understand things. The Teas party started out as a very noble enterprise but became infiltrated with liberals who then started bringing in and showcasing the most idiotic people they could find in order to demonize the whole truth/freedom movement. Nobody wants a bunch or uninformed, poorly educated hillbillies, see?
I think the best part is when he starts talking about "an entitlement mentality- it's the govs role to provide for the general welfare, etc." oh yeah, what a big bad thing! How dare the government do something about the General Welfare?! That's not in the constitu--wait.. "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE..."
And its these same people claim to care so much about the constitution yet don't seem to get the irony in claiming that the government isn't there to "provide the general welfare" almost the exact phrase that is used in the constitution as a REASON to craft the constitution.
What unbelievably ignorant clowns, these "conservatives" are,
@micahgee Look at what the term "welfare" meant in the 1700s. As language evolves the constitution remains the law of the land and remains unchanged. For example in the 1st when it says "or ABRIDGING the freedom of speech" people look at the word abridging in the way it was in the 1700s since we don't use that word much anymore. The same thing needs to apply to words that are used today but in fact have a different meaning than when the constitution was written
@RenorFaer Are you ready to march on DC to kick the lobbyists out?? And let the Congress members know what the American people want - they don't get it!!!
Respond to this video... this jackwagon is exactly right, he should go without pay for his term be a true patriot and refund to the treasury what hes already been paid. after all its all about shared sacrifice, right? I thought not
Respond to this video... Socialism for the rich, unfettered capitalism and free markets for the poor. Everyboy knows what a fraud has been perpetrated on the 99% since Reagan's day.
These creepsv("co9nservatives") just want to get their hands on the social security pool of money so they can blow it just as they've blown every pile of money that the government's given out to the financial interests since this country was founded.
America was founded as a business proposition. That's all it ever will be: a way for priviledged elites to increase profits.
I'm not completely sure about all the"tax breaks for the rich" but I think it's a cheep political ploy of the Democrats. I am sure that we have spent ourselves dangerously into debt, and Americans should resolve to reduce or get rid of this debt. I believe we are getting very close to the precipice at this point.
I'm lucky, I've been out of steady work for two years now, I have had several temp jobs. I was hired three different times by the census bureau, every time they hired me, they made the numbers look good on paper. I have worked for several temp agency's. I get to stay on a job site a little longer than the men. I have done things I never thought I would do. Wear mini skirts and cross my legs in front of the boss man so that he liked me more than the men that I was working with. They were let go.
Wow a FOX reporter giving a GOP/TeaParty shit head a hard time! This guy is fucking idiot...Alaska gets more money then it pays in taxes. These fucking idiots in the TeaParty have no fucking grasp of reality. Fucking stupid shit white people who finally woke up when something bad happened to them and now are willing to believe any bullshit they are told because they haven,t picked up a book or newspaper in their entire life.
@richardmulroy If you believe the bullshit the newspapers perpetuate then you're just as stupid as the rest. If we don't have a massive overhaul of the entire system, especially government and finance we're fucked. Period. The big banks and federal reserve own our government and we can't vote these assholes out. The only way to get rid of them is to leverage ourselves with a congress that will take the banks head on before its too late. Look up fractional reserve lending to see why we're here
When you spend other people's money eventually they will run out. Take a look at the gathering storm people... $130 TRILLION in future obligations. Do you think the United States is really going to take care of you and pay these obligations?
THis guy is not the brightest bulb in the in the lamp post.
A fool and his money are soon parted. Would you trust this mental midget with your money and think you will ever see it again?
When you spend other people's money eventually they will run out. Take a look at the gathering storm people... $130 TRILLION in future obligations. Do you think the United States is really going to take care of you and pay these obligations?
I want a show called Answer the Fucking Question. If you attempt to not answer the question, I get to zap you with a cattle prod until you do actually answer the question.
@ILikeTheThingsIDo That would be a great show. It would be you standing there alone with a cattle prod because nobody would come on. The network would drop you like a hot potato.
@ILikeTheThingsIDo "Just answer the f'n question..." Well, they try something like that at TVA in Quebec in the middle 90's, with a segment where the interviewed had to answer by yes or no to the questions... It did not work well with Parizeau or others politicians, often they use sound bite and tv discourse to cut them and asking the question again...
Having seen the result, I bet that the cattle prod will just not work.
@AmericanKnowItAll3 I will not re-post, because I am tired of the party of NO holding the government hostage. Have you lifted a finger to find out why not a penny of the 1 billion we promised to the people of Haiti 9 months ago hasn't been received yet?
@AmericanKnowItAll3 Don't count on all of the people that read your post to have the amazingly short term memory that you have. Just google all those town hall meetings on heath care, or any tea party rally poster that displays our president with a bone through his nose. At this point in time with this many Americans lost. The war in Iraq isn't a question of right or wrong, point is the American people were LIED TO. The Conservatives = A lie of omission
@nilbud America criminalizes religion in the open. You're not allowed to pray read the bible in school, they expel students for being openly religious. (except in some cases for muslims because they know they'll get hurt. That and to promote diversity and dillute Christianity.) Most so called Christians just play church. The only place youll ever find any religion is in ghettos, prisons, the boondocks and other places where people have no where to turn. Just like in the 1st century Roman empire.
This is the ugliest, most talentless asshole ever to have been given airtime. His spectacularly mundane, flat views on shit is utterly worthless. Quick. Turn the sound down and watch the actual clip elsewhere without him.
paying people and promoting them basically for not working is not fair to those who are working and reduces incentive to be working or for the market to balance itself
You compare tax cuts to welfare handouts? Excuse me, but that's nonsense. A tax cut means TAKING less money from people. Welfare is GIVING money to people.
it saddens me on how out of touch this guy is. class warfare will get us nowere, and even if wr stole every cent from every buisnesman it would only be a drop in the bucket to our debt.
Boehner, Newt, McCain are a curse to the pure republican party. They are neo-cons globalist who will continue their goal of a New World Order. We need real Americans and REAL Republicans in congress. Kick these sick global elites like Boehner and McCain out and bring in more of the Rand Paul types. These neo-cons want world government and endless wars for profit. That is not Constitutional. We need to keep them away from the Tea Party. They will poison it and destroy it.
Am I the only one who wants the republicans and the teabaggers to clean up, so then the whole of America will then see what buffoonery, corruptness and just total lack of insight that these rotten nutjob exploiters really are, so then they will never be allowed on the podium again in the future ?
it's seemingly what the right-wing religious, neo-con extremists want, so let them have their paradise and see how bullshit it is.
@Cuddlebunzzz Actually no it was deregulated, there were laws that prevented Wall Street from doing what it does, The Government's job is to protect us from fraud, instead under Clinton and Bush jr and we can go back to Woodrow Wilson even, it has endorsed criminal activity by the banks, such as FIAT currency. When you remove laws which keep Corporations from operating legally and in essence legalizing criminal activity it is deregulation not regulation.
@MethMojimbo i know that was my point, the government contributed to the economic downturn by not regulating them. if they had been doing their job and properly regulated banks and corporations, then the economy wouldn't have been screwed over so badly and we probably would have recovered from it almost completely by now.
@Cuddlebunzzz Actually, it was because of too much regulations that the economy collapsed. Never in history have banks and corporations been more tightly regulated than in the last 20 years. When you force interest rates down to nothing and hand out money like candy, people will borrow more and put it where they feel they can get a better return than the interest cost. That was the housing market. The problem wasn't the collapse, that's the result, the problem was the run up to the collapse.
@MethMojimbo You have this totally backwards. FIAT currency was the regulation. The Fed and government dictated that FIAT Federal Reserve Notes to be legal tender. It got rid of the free market choices of gold and silver. FDR made it illegal to hold and confiscated gold and immediately it went from $20/oz. to $35/oz. More Regulations. Then you had Glass-Steagle, The Financial modernization act, and about 30 other acts layer upon layer. Each one giveing The Fed more control over the economy.
@mickeysears lack of regulation is why we're not making any progress towards getting out of the recession (other than the guys at Wall Street who get to keep all our money because of lack of regulation). it's why jobs are being outsourced, banks aren't giving loans to small businesses that would actually make jobs for Americans, and tons of other things. btw if i remember correctly, Glass-Steagall, which was a useful regulation, was repealed a while ago, which helped contribute to this situation
@Cuddlebunzzz The guys on wall street kept all that money because the government gave it to them. Taxpayers bailouts, remember. That was government sanctioned and regulated. Jobs are being outsourced because it's cheaper to pay workers overseas. You know, minimum wage laws (regulation), government unions, (regulated) acounting laws (regulation) License fees(regulation). And Glass Steagall was repealed, it was replaced by an even bigger more heavily regulatory bill called Graham-Leach-Bliley.
@Cuddlebunzzz So how do you, or anyone in their right mind, say that replacing a big government heavy regulated bill (Glass-Steagall) with an even bigger government more heavily regulated bill (Graham- Leach-Bliley) is in any form "Deregulation"?
And no business hires people by using borrowed money. They hire people when profits and demand are growing. When government starts to tax or threatens to tax those job creators, they will certainly not hire new workers or borrow money.
@Cuddlebunzzz "lack of regulation is why we're not making any progress towards getting out of the recession"
Actually there is proof that reducing regulation, taxes and spending will do just that. And the reverse is also proven. By increasing spending and taxes you prolong recession/depression. All you have to do is google both "The Depression of 1929" and "The Depression of 1920" Never heard of 1920? That's because we were out of it in 18 months. Why don't you look up why!!
@mickeysears we've reduced regulations (which led to BP oil spill), the rich have had tax cuts for a long time now, and we've reduced spending everywhere except the military (which is what really needs to be cut). so why are we still in a recession? and you do realize that if we cut things that protect workers, like unions and minimum wage, we'll become just as impoverished as those countries that jobs are being outsourced to. unless you're already rich, then it doesn't matter to you.
@Cuddlebunzzz I see that you completely ignored my suggestion to look up the differences between the 1920 and 29 depressions. But at least I can assume that you've accepted my assurtion about increased banking regulations hurting the economy since you have now moved on to oil.
"so why are we still in a recession?"
Because the democratic congress wont tell business what there tax rates are going to be just 3 months from now. Because they don't know how healthcare will affect their costs.
@mickeysears i did look up the 1920 depression, and the reason why we recovered from that completely is b/c it occurred due to totally different circumstances (switching from wartime to peacetime economy) and the cost of living was low enough that people were willing and able to live with lower incomes, and businesses were willing to lower prices to accommodate that. today we have lower wages but prices are mostly the same, hence the stagnation of consumerism. (cont)
@Cuddlebunzzz They're not different circumstances, just different reasons for the same basic thing. Deficit spending for war is the same as deficit spending for anything else. However, the point wasn't what caused the collapse, it was how it was dealt with after the collapse. But you're right in terms of prices. In 1920, government just cut taxes and spending and cut the debt in half. Businesses had to let prices fall. Since 1929, government invention and subsidy tries to keep prices inflated.
@mickeysears i agree that stupid regulations like forcing banks to hand out loans to people who can't repay them hurts the economy. but not regulating things like derivatives trading (which banks do with our money) hurts the economy as well. so, as i said before, it's not about more or less regulation, it's about responsible regulation.
even if some businesses are afraid to create jobs b/c of uncertainty, it doesn't justify others outsourcing jobs then complaining that no one's creating jobs.
@Cuddlebunzzz I never said that we would be better off with NO REGULATIONS. That would be anarchy. But once the big bankers got their claws on our economy through The Federal Reserve, The FDIC, The NSDA, The SEC, The CBT, and about 100 other Federally enacted boards, Regulations have made many banks and businesses too costly to operate in the US. With todays internet and electronic systems, they can operate anywhere in the world. So why would they operate where it's most expensive to do so?
@mickeysears it's not as clean and simple as "reduce" or "increase." it's about applying regulations, taxes, and spending in a responsible matter, in a way that actually benefits citizens. that is the problem, the people in charge don't care about the citizens, and most people don't care that they don't care. this causes an imbalance that leads people to become irrational and pursue extremes, b/c by your logic NO regulations, NO taxes, and NO spending would be best for this country.
I was hoping for some good commentary, but this young turk dude is an idiot. He's confident with his bullsh** so I'm sure he's persuasive to some, but his arguments (or lack thereof) are ridiculous.
Socialized health care for politicians.....none for the people.
Socialized bailouts for corporations....none for the people.
Bankruptcies for corporations.....none for the people.
Humans suck! The Tea Party should just send in their shock troops and gun
the newly unemployed down with gun fire! All you bitches who lost your jobs are a bunch of un-American sacks of shit! You deserve NOTHING! No health care. No house! No car! No food! DIE ALREADY!!
The guy may be a West Point graduate and hold a JD from Yale, but he's nothing more than a dirty, ignorant, prejudiced, moronic teabagger. So, would it be sustainable to let 44 million people sink into abject poverty and live in squalor on the streets? He seems to think it would be, but supports letting the government ignore the mission assigned to it by the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, which is clear crystal. There must be something in the water up in Alaska that turns people into idiots.
@franksnow79 There is no wrong part of the Constitution. If it's in the constitution it's a valid part of the constitution. So powerful a statement that the founders did not make it an amendment as they felt that no one should be able to revoke it. It's so important it's at the top before and above all else.
@mickeysears Ok so the Tea Party ideal was brought back by repub. Ron Paul, funded by Freedomworks a largely conservative repub. institution, organized by repub. Keri Carender, Malkin, Limbaugh, against dem. ideas, and given coverage on FNC but yet the Tea Party is not a movement within the Republican party???
@big24dawg1 When the TEA Party was showing up at town hall meetings and lately voting in TEA candidates over establishment republicans, you could hear fear in the Republican establishment voices. Virtually all conservative talking heads warned not to vote for TEA because it will split the party. The reality is that both Dem and Repub establishments are afraid of TEA candidates and the movement in general. It truly is a grassroots movement and both parties that like central control are afraid.
@big24dawg1 I don't think the TEA Party is a movement within the Republican Party as much as they are mostly disgruntled republicans that are pissed off at republican establishment going along with TARP, Healthcare, and Cap & Trade. The TEA Party truly wants smaller government and lower taxes and are tired of broken promises and bigger more intrusive government. They weren't happy with Bush with the wars, expanded drug program, or The Patriot Act. And they sure as hell don't like Obamas plans.
@mickeysears ok...what you describe is true of all political movements. There is no republican who is completely in line with all conservative ideas just as not all dems completely support Obama but you describe the Tea party yourself with conservative ideals which makes it fundamentally Republican. How many democrats does the Tea Party financially support?? Thank you..lawyered!
@big24dawg1 "How many democrats does the Tea Party financially support??"
Well that would depend on how many Deomcrats are running on a platform or incumbants that are promoting small government, lowering taxes, cutting spending, repealing Obamacare, not for Cap and Trade, and want the states to have more of a say than be dictated to from The Fed. Where or when you find those Democrats you'll find TEA Party support.
@mickeysears Thank you for making my point. The Tea Party doesnt support any Dems financially. You will never find a Dem. that will run on that platform because then they would not be a democrat. Now do you understand that the Tea Party is a Rep. ideal?
@big24dawg1 I didn't make your point, I made mine. If the TEA party was just simply a republican ideal, then there would be NO TEA Party. There would just be Republicans protesting Democratic policy. But unless you've been living under a rock for the last 2 years, You see the TEA party has ousted some long term Republican Establihment Candidates in the primaries. So if this was just republican ideal, there wouldn't be 7 Senate, 6 Congressional, and 2 Governor TEA party candidates right now.
@mickeysears Living under a rock you say? Thats how primaries work. In order to face an incumbent, the opposing party needs to hold 'primaries' to see which candidate within their party will face the incumbent. Just becase a Tea Party Rep. defeats a moderate Rep. does not guarantee a victory in ther general election, just the opposite. Now moderate reps will vote dem. because they are not in line with Tea Party representation. The Tea Party divided Republicans.
And lol. "Heheh, this entitlement mentality... like you want your money back. We already spent it, man. On wars. It was AWESOME!"

The Young Jerks at it again, more lies. He wasn't asked twice what he's going to do for the unemployed, but rather to describe why federal unemployment benefits weren't Constitutional.
Yes, we deserve out money back, but he's saying our money shouldn't be taken in the first place. Also, the federal govt should get out of our way and allow us to prosper.
And NO, the Commer Clause does not enumerate that the federal govt is obliged to provide unemployment benefits.

The unemployed are given money from the taxes that they payed. And they must pay it back at a higher rate once they get a job again.

Dude, you quoted from the Constitution the duties of Congress, where THERE IS NO REFERENCE TO PAYING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, which was the subject. To "lay and collect taxes," etc., DOES NOT EQUAL "paying unemployed people while they're out of work." Maybe its found in the "Good & Plenty clause," huh?
But no, I'm not even a high school graduate, so anything I have to say shouldn't be considered, right? GO FUCK YOURSELF if you can't handle the actual facts. Enjoy your made-up ones.

The same thing needs to apply to words that are used today but in fact have a different meaning than when the constitution was written

@Cuddlebunzzz Actually, it was because of too much regulations that the economy collapsed. Never in history have banks and corporations been more tightly regulated than in the last 20 years. When you force interest rates down to nothing and hand out money like candy, people will borrow more and put it where they feel they can get a better return than the interest cost. That was the housing market. The problem wasn't the collapse, that's the result, the problem was the run up to the collapse.

It got rid of the free market choices of gold and silver. FDR made it illegal to hold and confiscated gold and immediately it went from $20/oz. to $35/oz. More Regulations. Then you had Glass-Steagle, The Financial modernization act, and about 30 other acts layer upon layer. Each one giveing The Fed more control over the economy.

@mickeysears lack of regulation is why we're not making any progress towards getting out of the recession (other than the guys at Wall Street who get to keep all our money because of lack of regulation). it's why jobs are being outsourced, banks aren't giving loans to small businesses that would actually make jobs for Americans, and tons of other things. btw if i remember correctly, Glass-Steagall, which was a useful regulation, was repealed a while ago, which helped contribute to this situation

@Cuddlebunzzz The guys on wall street kept all that money because the government gave it to them. Taxpayers bailouts, remember. That was government sanctioned and regulated. Jobs are being outsourced because it's cheaper to pay workers overseas. You know, minimum wage laws (regulation), government unions, (regulated) acounting laws (regulation) License fees(regulation). And Glass Steagall was repealed, it was replaced by an even bigger more heavily regulatory bill called Graham-Leach-Bliley.

@Cuddlebunzzz So how do you, or anyone in their right mind, say that replacing a big government heavy regulated bill (Glass-Steagall) with an even bigger government more heavily regulated bill (Graham- Leach-Bliley) is in any form "Deregulation"?
And no business hires people by using borrowed money. They hire people when profits and demand are growing. When government starts to tax or threatens to tax those job creators, they will certainly not hire new workers or borrow money.

@Cuddlebunzzz "lack of regulation is why we're not making any progress towards getting out of the recession"
Actually there is proof that reducing regulation, taxes and spending will do just that. And the reverse is also proven. By increasing spending and taxes you prolong recession/depression. All you have to do is google both "The Depression of 1929" and "The Depression of 1920" Never heard of 1920? That's because we were out of it in 18 months. Why don't you look up why!!

@mickeysears we've reduced regulations (which led to BP oil spill), the rich have had tax cuts for a long time now, and we've reduced spending everywhere except the military (which is what really needs to be cut). so why are we still in a recession? and you do realize that if we cut things that protect workers, like unions and minimum wage, we'll become just as impoverished as those countries that jobs are being outsourced to. unless you're already rich, then it doesn't matter to you.

@Cuddlebunzzz I see that you completely ignored my suggestion to look up the differences between the 1920 and 29 depressions. But at least I can assume that you've accepted my assurtion about increased banking regulations hurting the economy since you have now moved on to oil.
"so why are we still in a recession?"
Because the democratic congress wont tell business what there tax rates are going to be just 3 months from now. Because they don't know how healthcare will affect their costs.

@mickeysears i did look up the 1920 depression, and the reason why we recovered from that completely is b/c it occurred due to totally different circumstances (switching from wartime to peacetime economy) and the cost of living was low enough that people were willing and able to live with lower incomes, and businesses were willing to lower prices to accommodate that. today we have lower wages but prices are mostly the same, hence the stagnation of consumerism. (cont)
Cuddlebunzzz 1 year ago
@Cuddlebunzzz They're not different circumstances, just different reasons for the same basic thing. Deficit spending for war is the same as deficit spending for anything else. However, the point wasn't what caused the collapse, it was how it was dealt with after the collapse. But you're right in terms of prices. In 1920, government just cut taxes and spending and cut the debt in half. Businesses had to let prices fall. Since 1929, government invention and subsidy tries to keep prices inflated.

@mickeysears i agree that stupid regulations like forcing banks to hand out loans to people who can't repay them hurts the economy. but not regulating things like derivatives trading (which banks do with our money) hurts the economy as well. so, as i said before, it's not about more or less regulation, it's about responsible regulation.
even if some businesses are afraid to create jobs b/c of uncertainty, it doesn't justify others outsourcing jobs then complaining that no one's creating jobs.

@Cuddlebunzzz I never said that we would be better off with NO REGULATIONS. That would be anarchy. But once the big bankers got their claws on our economy through The Federal Reserve, The FDIC, The NSDA, The SEC, The CBT, and about 100 other Federally enacted boards, Regulations have made many banks and businesses too costly to operate in the US. With todays internet and electronic systems, they can operate anywhere in the world. So why would they operate where it's most expensive to do so?
mickeysears 1 year ago
@mickeysears it's not as clean and simple as "reduce" or "increase." it's about applying regulations, taxes, and spending in a responsible matter, in a way that actually benefits citizens. that is the problem, the people in charge don't care about the citizens, and most people don't care that they don't care. this causes an imbalance that leads people to become irrational and pursue extremes, b/c by your logic NO regulations, NO taxes, and NO spending would be best for this country.

The guy may be a West Point graduate and hold a JD from Yale, but he's nothing more than a dirty, ignorant, prejudiced, moronic teabagger. So, would it be sustainable to let 44 million people sink into abject poverty and live in squalor on the streets? He seems to think it would be, but supports letting the government ignore the mission assigned to it by the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, which is clear crystal. There must be something in the water up in Alaska that turns people into idiots.

@franksnow79 There is no wrong part of the Constitution. If it's in the constitution it's a valid part of the constitution. So powerful a statement that the founders did not make it an amendment as they felt that no one should be able to revoke it. It's so important it's at the top before and above all else.

@mickeysears Ok so the Tea Party ideal was brought back by repub. Ron Paul, funded by Freedomworks a largely conservative repub. institution, organized by repub. Keri Carender, Malkin, Limbaugh, against dem. ideas, and given coverage on FNC but yet the Tea Party is not a movement within the Republican party???
big24dawg1 1 year ago
@big24dawg1 When the TEA Party was showing up at town hall meetings and lately voting in TEA candidates over establishment republicans, you could hear fear in the Republican establishment voices. Virtually all conservative talking heads warned not to vote for TEA because it will split the party. The reality is that both Dem and Repub establishments are afraid of TEA candidates and the movement in general. It truly is a grassroots movement and both parties that like central control are afraid.
mickeysears 1 year ago
@big24dawg1 I don't think the TEA Party is a movement within the Republican Party as much as they are mostly disgruntled republicans that are pissed off at republican establishment going along with TARP, Healthcare, and Cap & Trade. The TEA Party truly wants smaller government and lower taxes and are tired of broken promises and bigger more intrusive government. They weren't happy with Bush with the wars, expanded drug program, or The Patriot Act. And they sure as hell don't like Obamas plans.
mickeysears 1 year ago
@mickeysears ok...what you describe is true of all political movements. There is no republican who is completely in line with all conservative ideas just as not all dems completely support Obama but you describe the Tea party yourself with conservative ideals which makes it fundamentally Republican. How many democrats does the Tea Party financially support?? Thank you..lawyered!
big24dawg1 1 year ago
@big24dawg1 "How many democrats does the Tea Party financially support??"
Well that would depend on how many Deomcrats are running on a platform or incumbants that are promoting small government, lowering taxes, cutting spending, repealing Obamacare, not for Cap and Trade, and want the states to have more of a say than be dictated to from The Fed. Where or when you find those Democrats you'll find TEA Party support.
mickeysears 1 year ago
@mickeysears Thank you for making my point. The Tea Party doesnt support any Dems financially. You will never find a Dem. that will run on that platform because then they would not be a democrat. Now do you understand that the Tea Party is a Rep. ideal?
big24dawg1 1 year ago
@big24dawg1 I didn't make your point, I made mine. If the TEA party was just simply a republican ideal, then there would be NO TEA Party. There would just be Republicans protesting Democratic policy. But unless you've been living under a rock for the last 2 years, You see the TEA party has ousted some long term Republican Establihment Candidates in the primaries. So if this was just republican ideal, there wouldn't be 7 Senate, 6 Congressional, and 2 Governor TEA party candidates right now.
mickeysears 1 year ago
@mickeysears Living under a rock you say? Thats how primaries work. In order to face an incumbent, the opposing party needs to hold 'primaries' to see which candidate within their party will face the incumbent. Just becase a Tea Party Rep. defeats a moderate Rep. does not guarantee a victory in ther general election, just the opposite. Now moderate reps will vote dem. because they are not in line with Tea Party representation. The Tea Party divided Republicans.
