  • I liked part of what you said with John and the Republican vs. Democrat bill no one knows if it would have created more jobs but! On the other hand the second gentlemen John Cornyn you were to busy making Bush faces to listen to what he said, don't be so stupid. He was for a stimulus package just not the same kind as was given before. There are other ways to stimulate the economy you idiot without just handing money out to every Tom, Dick, and Harry. You don't pay taxes you shouldn't get money

  • REALLY IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ..

  • The idiot hasn't read the bill

  • This video is funny now. $278,000 per job the stimulus cost us and made. Would the republicans way worked? who knows. But i have to say nothing has worked right that obama has done. now that we are in a debt crisis this stimulus seems retarded and I hope both parties get there heads out their asses.

  • In 2008, they had John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and Tim Pawlenty.

    Now, they've got Herman Cain, Buddy Roemer, Gary Johnson, Fred Karger, Jimmy MicMillan and Andy Martin.

    Nope, the Repubs will not win.

  • Hahaha Boehner or "Boner" I'm thinkin you can call us unemployed whatever but you nothing but a joke you drunk...yeah keep trying to convince your followers that your slurring crying ranting antics coming from someone who is sober...LOL You will be seen for the drunkin alcoholic who you really are. Have ya gone to AA???? Oh yeah probably not since you gotta pay that outa pocket....

  • LOL, they say they're not the party of no and then every single one of them votes no!

  • Wow... question for his guy. If a congressperson has a "staff" what political party do you think this staff represents? Same as the congressperson of course, they dictate their votes! Even if they did have a staff, the bill wasnt a novel, it was an 1100 pg behemoth of complex legal language. "should every member of congress read every page...no..." REALLY? That's how democrats missed the $6 billion that went to NON-EXISTENT DISTRICTS. If they didnt read the bill they should have voted no!

  • To say that he has not read the bill is proof that he is not interested in a bipartisan effort. AND if he has not read it, how does he know that a republican plan (which I don't believe they have) is better?

  • shit i thought it was the modern warfare 2 stimulus package. The democrats should just shut up because all of you are lairs stupid you don't what to say all you do is talk but promise nothing else before you say shit say stupid republican you . Texan. I don't support any parties only the word of God. what I noticed is this channel is super pro Democrats screw you the gay turks hope you read this you crap face.

  • This country will never move forward to a better tomorrow until everyone learns how to work together to make that possible. Unfortunately, nearly everyone in the United States just points fingers, blaming each other. NOT JUST REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS TOO. Right now, a lot of people are to blame for this country's troubles, not just one party or president.

  • New results show that for every 1 job created 2.5 are lost. So it is very deceiving.

  • Should the bills be read by congress? Yes its their job! Has any democrat stepped out of party lines and vote against anything proposed by Obama? No, who's the party of no now?! Has the stimulus gone to people that need it(small businesses make up 80% of job creators)? No all stimulus has gone to big business, and big pensions! Is our nations security at risk more now with Obama than with Bush? Yes, since his law enforcement cut backs have been paying for the stimulus. Yes I do hope for change!

  • BUSH!!!!! YOU conservative fucks seem to have amnesia!!!!Our current mess is in YOUR hands and don't you ever forget it!!!

  • @xXliberalb1tchXx Hey dumb ass at what point does your party become accountable? Your party has recked this country. I hate your congress, senate and white house.

  • @abc64923 Actually ALL parties have plagued this country. I think you have me confused with someone who belongs to a political party. I said The Bush years sucked, that doesn't mean these next 7 will be good, i'm sure they will equally suck as do you for talking shit on something you know nothing about. My party is a party of many, though we do not have an official name to fucks like you we remain forever anonymous...

  • Every single American should have their basic needs met! This includes: Food, shelter, water, utilities and yes you selfish greedy pigs HEALTHCARE!!! I have worked since I was 14, and will work till the day I die, if it means people will be taken care of. This country is an embarrassment , we should be taking care of eachother not competing with your new siding or lawn ornaments!!!If there is a hell, I don't think there will be enough room for the AMERICANS. Shame on you ....

  • Comment removed

  • You are really really really Dumb... You wanna talk about jobs? How are the jobs doing under Obama? You wanna try to defend reading a +1,000 page bill? Have you ever reviewed one of them, its obviously over your head. And for you to say things like I don't understand what he said; well that is obvious. You are very dumb. He is not at all contradicting himself but you continue to believe things you fabricate are true, but you also say they confuse you? Who is the idiot? I'll help out, It's you.

  • i love how they always have the huge stack of papers in front of them... like that's suppose to prove a point... but when you put bills like that in book format, they are around 200-250 pages max

  • He was saying that the stimulus tax rebates don't work as far as repairing an economy. He wasn't saying that tax cuts themselves don't work. Swing and miss Cenk.

  • y ppl are the devil

  • what a dumbfuck Jon is.  "We are not the party of no and we haven't been." Bitch knows all the GOP does all day long is say no. only ONE Republican out of 200 voted to help Americans with health care Saturday.

  • If you actually studied economics and history instead of listening to CNN and Comedy Central and you would realize all serious economic downturns had one of two reactions by the government. 1 Step back, stop raising taxes and let the economy sort itself out in the free market. 2. Do what Hoover, FDR, Ford, Carter and now Obama did, raise taxes and spend out of control. The former reaction allowed the economy to bounce back remarkably fast. The latter,well, the great depression, the 70s and this.

  • you're being sarcastic and telling a joke, I hope. lol. what you didn't connect or make any sense.

  • keep saying NO!! . THANK YOU CONGRESS MAN. YES READ THE BILL FIRST ,,,

    TYT IS SO PAINFULLY STUPID, THERE'S NO LOGIC IN YOUR WORDS, YOUR SAYING JUST SIGN IT. WAIT AND SEE WHAT WAS IN THE BILL, THAT WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO, AMERIKA BEING BRAIN WASHED

  • Just shut up or at least don't insist your arguments correct merely because you say it is or you yell it to the high heavens it only wins the votes of the stupid or easily misguided

    America is brainwashed yeh to the capitalist way of thinking

  • Don't worry... You are already brain washed by the republican party.

  • congressman is correct bill has no jobs in it, NO REAL jobs . for real people , you must be the most blind person on planet earth. now we have a jobless recovery, WHAT??. like a woman saying she's almost pregnet, LEFT BLAMES RIGHT, THEIR IS ONLY RIGHT AND WRONG, NO NBETWEEN YOU FOOL

  • Everyone voting on the bill ought to read it. The problem is that the bills are deliberately being made big so that politicians don't read it themselves. The 1000 page bill was given to them to read on the day of the vote in congress also. You have to be blind or stupid not to see the corruption and fowl play in this.

    Not one of the more intelligent young turk's segments.

  • 1000 page bill that no one has time to read? Are you referring to the Patriot Act?

    So when did YOU regain your sight? Once the Conservo's lost control?

  • I am not a Republican. This isn't something that is OK when one side does it or the other. It is wrong when any side does it, however I think it is more heart breaking to know that it isn't just one side that has done this now. We got a new president, a democratic house and senate, and look what they are doing, the worst things the Republicans did. BTW Obama expanded the horrible Patriot Act, both sides of the isle should feel cheated and outraged for getting the worst of both parties.

  • To explain TYT commentators question about the Cornyn's critique on tax breaks is quite simple. He clearly states that the tax breaks shouldn't be done as REFUNDABLE TAX CREDITS. The reason why is that under Bush, people got the tax credits at the end of the year, and threw the money into savings and not into consumer spending. Obama's stimulus did however incorporate giving a direct tax cut to the payroll tax, making weekly pay checks higher, so the extra $20 is seen as pocket change & spent

  • That's OK.....these same ass-holes gave BUSH a huge stimulus package before this & never even asked WHERE IT WAS GOING!!!!!!!! Party of NO? You BETCHA!! (wink*wink!) More moose stew, honey? :)

  • Yep, you got it there. It seems many rep supporters got a very bad memory? I mean, how can you have so big of a double standard that it is clear now, now matter what the dems do, it will be no no nononononono.

    But what is worse is that someone actually looked at this guy and said, heck, i whant this to be my representative and voted for him.

  • Sounds like somebody is projecting by saying the dems were hoping that nobody would read the bill. The Patriot Act was the bill that was never read.

    Please Republicans, leave the ideas and thinking to the smart people.

  • Republicans = The American Taliban.

  • That's kind of extreme. I'm not a fan of Republicans, but that is kind of way out there.

  • republicans just keep nerfing themselves

  • Throwing money at everything dont work,never has never will,lets look at our failed public schools.Just look.

  • maybe throwing some money at you grammar problems might work, or maybe not

    as a redneck comedian said, "you can't fix stupid."

  • xj2yzz,

    Economics is a balancing act... the money has to continue to flow through the system in order for us to not suffer a complete economic meltdown.

    The two sources are from Government or Private Citizens (which includes business/corporations). Since private spending is at an all-time low, the government has to kick their spending into overdrive, or things will get vastly worse.

    It's definitely not an ideal situation, but far better than doing nothing at all.

  • oops, the second paragraph should read "two sources of spending". YouTube needs an edit function. eek.

  • So let it fail,the free market will fix the situation,it always have.I am pro voucher for schools.

  • Coming from this guy. "Throwing money at everything DONT work." Yeah guys, take a look at those failed schools.

  • another lying repug that just wants someones vote. If these repugs have better ideas about creating jobs then what happened from 2002 till now? liars as usual, these assholes will never get my vote no matter what they say.

  • When Boehner says the Republican spending bill would create twice as many jobs and cost half as much...LOL!! Lying politician at work!!

    Geez, no wonder our nation is in the gutter.

    I got a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you if you believe Boehner.

  • I wonder if when he made the crack about not wanting poeple to read the bill, he was actually thinking about when the Repugs dumped the patriot act on congress 15 minutes before they were supposed to vote on it?

  • Where are these double jobs for less money Boner? China? The GOP needs to Forget about that Reagan He's the guy that fucked the country up, And Bush and his crooks just about finished it. Obama has one big fucking mess to try and fix. not sure if it can even be done, We all might be fucked after the Bush years

  • DR. RON PAUL 2012 THE REVOLUTION

  • Ron Paul is the Dennis Kucinich of the Republican Party. His own party was laughing at his answers during the primary debates.

  • Rush to run for 2012!

    GO TEAM RUSH!

  • As a Democratic supporter I support Rush's presidential run.

  • Ill support him too as long as he nominates bob jindal as his running mate bwah ah ah

  • and that is the reason republicans are out of power....Rush is an uneducated blowhard with a shrinking base.. good luck though...

  • YES Let him run...the party into the ground HAHAHAHAHAHA

  • if there is one thing i like about republicans, its the fact how you choose the biggest morons of the bunch and cause the destruction of your own party! lol!

    GO REPUBLICANS! DOWN TO THE GROUND!

  • God... Boner is SUCH a a douche bag.

  • They aren't the party of "No"

    They are the party of "No Relevance"

  • Videos to Check Out:

    Byron Dorgan Crystal Ball

    Many experts point to the Financial Modernization Act as the cause of the current financial crisis.

    Sen. Byron Dorgan Iraq Waste Floor Speech

    The US taxpayers have been taken to the cleaners.

    Senator Byron Dorgan Take This Job And Ship It

    Please give the people other example of waste and fraud videos Thanks.

  • I want to know that Im getting something for my money, if we can get them to cut out the waste, fraud & abuse of tax payers money the defect will shrink and only then will our taxes burden shrink.

  • I have found some good examples like Sen. Byron Dorgan and Ron Paul. Please do a youtube search with the name, Byron Dorgan he has uncovered a lot of waste, fraud & abuse of tax payers money. I not pointing out Dorgan for any political reason. It just looks like we have only a few elected officials that are pointing out the fleecing of tax payers.

  • We need to look to the past to see the future, we need to look at each senator and see if they are looking after our tax money, yes it is about the amount we are taxed but more over its about what we get for our money and who is getting it. I ask people to take a bipartisan look at each of our elected officials and see if they are looking after the tax payer or some lobbyist.

    (Cont.)

  • Wow- it still shocks me that people still think the stimulus bill was a good idea. How can anyone possibly defend it?

  • YES!!! Like $800 million for influenza pandemic readiness program. We dont need that!!

  • My only question is, what money? We're trillions in debt, where are we pulling all of this money from? Besides, look what happened to it anyways, exactly what they said would happen. It was embezzled by the companies and had absolutely no affect whatsoever.

  • Juts like how the Republicnazi didn't want anyone to read the Patroit Act either huh?

    Republi-nazi want the USA to become a slave labor force for big business give only big business tax breaks so the rich CEO's can cash in on it.

  • This is horrible reporting...

    The stimulus bill was only made available at 11:30 the night before and there was only 6 copies in circulation for the house that morning - no one could have read it - staff or not

    Also you mentioned that the government spends and creates jobs?

    You forgot the part about stealing the money from you, your children and grandchildren in order to employ the people of today???

    Perhaps you should ask your grandchildren, in the future, what they think of your logic!

  • lol it's funny to see how they are playing into their hands.

    Ile bet my life on that some idiot democrats now endorse the stimulus more only because the republicans are against it.

    this shit is like an reailtyshow

  • All the republicans can say is NO NO NO and its "spending spending spending"

    I don't care whether you agree with me or not, but I see NOTHING WRONG in investing EDUCATION, green energy, infrastructure.

    God forbid we actually fix our crumbling bridges and highways!!!

    What an AWFUL IDEA to put over 2 million people to work!!

    Obama is a BAD BAD man putting that many people to work!!

  • Agreed.

    Education=investment in our children and future.

    Green Energy=investment in energy that could last forever.

    A government job is still a job, in spite of what Michael Steele says.

  • I just don't know how people don't recognize the importance of the investments included in the bill.

    I think this is all a political game to the Republicans, they don't care whether our education, or our infrastructure is in good shape, they just care about instilling fear into the public, hoping Obama will fail so they can take office again.

    It's despicable really.

  • The only problem with that theory is that our country no longer produces any goods or saves any money. Sure putting people to work is good only when you can actually afford to do so. We are broke from borrowing and consuming. You cant spend more to pay off debt. I want (education, green tech, bridges) those too. That is not the FEDERAL governments job to provide. It is the State Govt that should be in control of those things. The true Criminal here is the Federal Reserve, not repubs or demos.

  • you are not reading between the lines, yes some of the money is put into infrastructure but a lot of it is earmarks and Obama said during his campaign that he was against that but he is actually contradicting himself and actually allowing earmarks. Also he is allowing to give out TAXPAYER money (that's OUR money) to crooked bankers! Doesnt that anger you? If that doesnt I dont know what then. People need to wake up to these facts

  • First off, these earmarks make up about 1-2% of the bill, so it won't be saving much taxpayer money anyway.

    There's a big difference between bad earmarks, and good earmarks.

    Obama made it clear that he is against bad earmarks, and he is going through every earmark in the bill to make sure that it is bad.

  • @MCLOVIN50 True that about Education. Education should be important to both political parties, and I can't BELIEVE anyone would honestly vote against it.

  • @MCLOVIN50 Not to mention over 80% of the infrastructure in the USA is at the point of failure...

  • @MCLOVIN50 I don't either, but the way the Democrats and these stimulus packages are (clearly) DOING IT WRONG. It's been a year, how do you feel now?

  • @ThesisOfRock Well it is working in some ways because my father is getting more overtime than he ever had.

    Never did I say or think it was perfect, but it is a HELL OF A LOT BETTER than the Republican idea, which would be stopping unemployment benefits, letting the market "correct itself" and give more tax breaks to the rich while the middle guy gets fucked.

  • @MCLOVIN50 If we increase unemployment benefits, what would be the incentive to work? If you can just receive free money from the government, why work at all? Your dad may have gotten lucky, but unemployment's sitting close to 10%. Prices go up for everything the govt subsidizes (like the rise in tuition from subsidizing student loans). And if you don't know, *real* Republicans want a flat tax rate across the board. Unfortunately, we've been voting in RINOs and daft idiots who say otherwise...

  • @ThesisOfRock Well clearly it is very hard to find work in a economic time like this, nobody knows how long it could take for the economy to really improve, and unemployment is the last to improve, so why make those people who LOST their jobs SUFFER MORE? It's like it's a sin to help out those who need it in a time like this..it has nothing to do with being lazy, that's total bull shit.

  • @MCLOVIN50 It's actually not that hard to find work, at least where I live in Maryland. There are like 4 different Domino's Pizza stores in critical staff condition, and I've seen "now hiring" signs pop up in many places. I myself just applied to Kohl's, and they said they were looking for a lot of people to work sales and as cashiers. I'm wondering, if all these places are hiring, and unemployment's almost at 10%, then...what's up?

  • @ThesisOfRock Loool yeah maybe a few pizza places are hiring in your area (I wish that was the case for me where I live) but do you thin a minimum wage job would replace the decent jobs that these people had lost? Think about it, we need REAL jobs! You simply can't support a family making 7.25 an hour. My dad was laid off for over 6 months, and if it wasn't for the Union, we would've lost our home, NOT because my dad is lazy (he's VERY hard working) but because working a 7.25 job isn't enough.

  • @MCLOVIN50 What is a "real" job? People could work the "unreal" jobs while they look for "real" jobs, they'll probably get more money that way than waiting for the check from the government. Perhaps $7.25 isn't enough, yes. But don't you think instead of raising the amount of money everyone gets, we should focus on lowering the cost of everything? To include the cost of labor, which is very high in this country? It's why we're outsourcing.

  • @ThesisOfRock A "real" job is a job that pays enough to either support yourself or a family. Working at pizza hut or mcdonalds isn't a real job.

    I agree, the cost of living should be lowered, but there are some jobs that deserve a higher pay. While the cost of living increases, the average middle class family salary increase is flat, and it's been like that for years. While the Rich get to increase their salary (like CEOs) the workers once again get royally fucked with the same flat wage.

  • @MCLOVIN50 But if the cost of living goes down, people who couldn't afford anything with a minimum wage before could be able to. Plus those with a secure career would be more compelled to buy from those companies who are royally fucking the workers, increasing profits and ultimately wages. There wouldn't be a need to have a mandatory "wage standard" or anything; people would be naturally earning more if the tax burden wasn't so rough on employers and employees.

  • @ThesisOfRock I totally agree with you, the cost of living should go down, especially in New Jersey!

    No, there needs to be a standard wage, because there's A LOT of cheap employers out there, and I know from personal experience! I'm not saying all big companies are bad, there are good ones, but there are also a lot that do a horrible job taking care of their employees.

    Do you know the average CEO makes over 19X of their average employee?

    The top 1% of America owns about 90% of the wealth.

  • @MCLOVIN50 Please, spare me the CEO semantics; they're the talking points of anti-capitalists that don't really prove anything (do you know free-market capitalism hasn't truly existed since at least 1914 in America?). In a truly free-market capitalist economy, companies will compete not only over products, but over employees. Which company do you think won't go bankrupt, the one who treats its employees greatly or the one that doesn't? Knowledge and power would be returned to the employee.

  • @ThesisOfRock I'm not that anti-capitalist, It's actually a good system depending on who's in charge.

    I was just pointing out that it isn't right that a CEO can make millions of dollars a year, while some of their workers could be struggling to pay bills or put food on the table.

    I just don't think it's right that the richest 1% own 90% America's wealth. What about the other 99% of the Country??

  • @MCLOVIN50 Well, in a good system NOBODY should be in charge. The richest 1%, usually, have earned their way into the upper class through large economic risk. Many of the CEOs today are first-time CEOs, for example, and probably pulled out huge amounts in loans. But instead of using the loans to spend, these soon-to-be CEOs invested in them. There are huge, huge economic risks to take as a CEO, and if they fail because of bad goods and services...well, too bad.

  • @ThesisOfRock When I said depending on who's in charge, I was referring to the Government. Now you do need a government!

  • @MCLOVIN50 We've been "needing" a government for the past century, and look what we've got. What we really need the government to do is to stay out of the markets. Stop passing ridiculous regulations that only serve as barriers for competition against corporations.

  • @ThesisOfRock WIthout some form of Government we would be a 3rd world Country full of rampage.

    Regulation also helps prevent economic disasters like the one in september 08.

    DEREGULATION is a VERY short term solution. Just look at the housing market. The housing market was deregulated, many people took advantage, and eventually the bubble popped.

    There's too many greedy people out there to deregulate anything, so there has to be some form of regulation.

  • @MCLOVIN50 No no no no no. The housing market crashed because the federal government forced banks to give loans to people who couldn't pay them back. The same exact thing is about to happen with higher education. There's already a whole lot of regulation that the government doesn't enforce, anyways (a la BP oil leak), and the solution is more? You seem to forget we have a legal system that puts the greedy people in check in case they make bad products or disregard their employees' human rights.

  • @ThesisOfRock Here's another example. There's so many stories of College graduates getting into debt because there's no jobs! These very intelligent kids with high degrees aren't able to find a job....because there's very few jobs out there, other than minimum wage jobs! And because of that, many College Grads are unable to pay their student loans. Are you going to assume these hard working students were lazy too?

  • @MCLOVIN50 Uh, you know these very intelligent kids could have gotten scholarships during their education, right? Huge amounts of scholarships go to waste each year because almost nobody takes advantage of them. As far as the loans go, are they lazy? No. Stupid? Maybe. If you're going to pull out $100,000 in loans, you should really, really consider what you're studying. If it's in some bogus major like women's studies, no wonder you can't find a job.

  • @ThesisOfRock Of course it would be wiser to look into scholarships, but even so not everyone can get a scholarship.

    Just because a student didn't get a scholarship doesn't justify why they can't get a job because companies aren't hiring.

    And you have to remember that not all places are hiring minimum wage jobs, that's only in some areas. I'm not even in college, so my studies would have NOTHING to do with finding a local job..moron.

    It's a FACT that not many places are hiring!

  • @MCLOVIN50 I'm saying scholarships are a (far) better alternative than loans. You may not have a job immediately after you're out of school, but you won't have a debt to deal with. And anyone can get a scholarship, c'mon. They have scholarships based on your income level, skin color, etc.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you were talking about career jobs after students have graduated. What secure career calls for a degree in women's studies or literature?

  • @ThesisOfRock Scholarships are GREAT, but not everyone can get a full scholarship, even with some scholarships your still left with a bill, but less than what you would have originally owed.

    Secure jobs for a degree in women's studies and literature? I'm sure there's plenty of jobs pertaining to the study of literature, but I know nothing of women's studies so I couldn't comment on that. Sure, there's quite a few majors that don't have good job security.

  • @MCLOVIN50 Well, most liberal arts degrees, quite frankly, are pretty useless since everybody in university has to take some (not all) liberal arts courses anyways. For example, everything a literature major so-called specializes in, most employers these days expect anyone to be able to do. Plus their uselessness is magnetized in a slumping economy. I'd say anything in the hard sciences, computer sciences, or health care field would be your best bet.

  • @MCLOVIN50 Oh, and in education, too.

  • You are a moron, a communist, a bad journalist just to name a few. You don't think that congressmen should read bills..., you think congressional spending and federal reserve printing are good, you sir are what is wrong with this country.

  • Couldn't agree more.

  • Take your ass back to the 50's, when the communism stir had some bearing.

    Republicans have such ludicrous arguments. Congressman DON'T read them, it doesn't matter what side of the aisle. And you gotta spend money to make money in this country. Ugh, so stupid.

  • but we are already spending and extending in record amounts. plus a lot of spending went to expand the government. do you believe we needed to put the money into the largest government in history or to the public sector? and i dont mean haliburton public sector. i am not arguing. i am just asking.

  • Temporarily, the government. This mess is too deep for pedestrians to handle.

    The only reason Barack has to spend this much is that it is the only way to fix the economy. It's basically just FDR pt. 2, which works for me.

    Republicans solely believe in tax cuts. That's it. So what if people get a couple extra grand? They'll just hold on to it if they're smart.

  • Also, conservatives will argue that Bush was small gov't. Quite the contrary! Just because he wasn't in control of business doesn't mean he didn't abuse his power. He single-handedly went into a war that the international community hated, and broke the rules of engagement. He wiretapped phones, illegally carried out torture, and gave large "gifts" to corporations. The economy was great when Clinton left it, and Bush managed to ruin it. If that's not big government, I don't know what is.

  • Wish I was a high ranking Republican...

    All I would have to do is make decisions without debating and draw up childish refutes and present them so they sound logical while being paid a good amount of money so I'm set for life. But alas, I have these things called "thoughts" that prevent me from reaching out for such a job :(

  • You think they didn't read it??? really... common dude. *cough* moron *cough*

    uh duh duh duh duh duh uuuuughhhhh...

    hahaha this is funny. What a joke?

    Republicans don't have a plan remember "nothing is wrong with the economy"-Mccain

  • I don't know who marked you down I can only assume they work for a big company getting a pay off and don't want to lose there job. I understand what your saying in order for this to work it self out the weak need to gone. New companies will take there place and learn from there mistakes.

  • Well, to help you better understand the shit that flies out of your cock riding mouth I'll say this:

    Your cute little "news" program is a sad excuse of journalism, and this is obviously why you will never be on t.v. You don't think the congress should read it?! Are you so ignorant to believe that a revisions and editing process isn't necessary in times like these? I heard a few agendas and bridges to no where in the package and I don't want my money going to that shit. Wake up stupid!!

  • Agreed on both the stupidity of these vid and the people whom run it, and the stupidity of the rather porkopolis that (and has been admitted to by Barry himself) stimulous. WTF why did this not get sent through the chopper. I'm willing to bet alot of happy Dems and repubs eating there pork today. It is OUR money and by that I mean WE THE PEOPLE.

  • we all know this bill sucks...along with this channel

  • banker fistfuck bill

  • yes to both

  • And I presume YOU know what to do about the economy then.

  • cjlawton23 (4 days ago) is correct. Cenk, my view since 1972 is that rarely does anything a Republican say make a "lick of sense."

  • What are saying Turk? Why is it painfully stupid. He is learning from his mistakes. He voted tax breaks once, and it didn't work. Isn't that what the dems want now? It is partisan politics. The dems would do the same thing. I don't understand why this is difficult to swallow? If you just want to have a dem show, just have a dem show.

  • I think his point was: he said that he learn from his mistakes before and knows that the tax cuts implemented under Bush didn't work. His solution - more tax cuts. Why say we've learnt from our mistakes by advocate the same thing?

  • ED86, I really don't think that it was the tax cuts that did us in. The housing market, which in turn crashed the market. I didn't agree with getting a stimulus check either. I blame the American public just as much. Generally, people don't give a shit. Looko at the madoff investors. MOST deserved that. Thats what greed will get ya. The only problem was Madoff's greed was bigger than theirs. If someone told me I could get 40% turnaround on an investment, I would tell them BS.

  • partisan politics is nothing new. If the bill was republican sponsored, it would have gone down the same way. Politicians almost feel obligated to vote against these proposals. Maybe they should set it up like the Pepsi/Coke hidden taste tests. Read it, but not know who authored it.

  • Well its catch-22. You either have the government limit the size of the company. Or you bail them out when they screw up. Either way there is going to be government intervention. Unfortunately we are in the situation that if the government does nothing then the economy sinks.These companies hold too many assets,debts,etc foreign and domestic.The government might have to do what other countries have done. Take over these companies and break them up into new companies or sale off parts and assets

  • If he veto's then there won't be a stimulus package.

  • They won't pass the bill without their pet projects. Thus the problem.

  • anybody who supports obama is just as left as the redneck southerners down south so you dems really have no room to talk, plus where is all this money coming from? so we just go further into debt?

  • OMG!!! this guy is such a fucking idiot!!!

  • about half of those earmarks were put in there by Republicans, more than 70% of those earmarks were there before he even took office. The world is fucked weather the goverment passed the bill or not since we already made the whole world hate the US ones more on a trillion dollar wasted war in Iraq. Why dont you complain about how we get fucked on the daily by companies, mechanics and even grocery stores and even hospitals. Or you can have holes in your road then u will be complaining about that.

  • What is he doing? Trying to fix the mess and trying to bring together the congress and the house full of cry fucking babies.

    And please don't repeat any Fox News or Conservative Republican talking point with out facts.

  • Too Late Bush already fucked it up.

  • P.S. That crack about bush sounding dumb, From me and the south... Fuck you!

  • Obama's 4 trillon dollar budget + 2 trillon dollars Stimulus Bill = 6 trillon dollars. If this bill does not work (i'm not saying that it is not going to work) all that money will be for nothing. And as you said "if you spend on hiring people thats what turns into jobs" which is one of the dumbest I have ever heard a liberal say then again, a liberal said it... go figure. You have seen all the pork in this bill that does not and will not make any jobs wait' sorry all you whach is msnbc I forgot

  • Oh, so the GOP are against signing bills that nobody has read when it can help the poor, but not when it has to do about waging illegal wars on countries that had nothing to do with 9/11 and undercutting the rights of the masses? Nice double-standard! "Hurry up and sign" when the money goes to private contractors, and "Stop and read it" when the money will go to public services.

  • DIdn't Republicans want to tie Social Security to the stock market??? Yeah, lets listen to these idiots!!! HAHAHA

  • wow, TLDR(too long didn't read) is their first response?

  • He said the smartest people on the planet don't know what they are doing.... what an idiot.... we are in trouble...

  • So let's sum this up shall we.

    NO connection between Saddam and AQ other than proximity. NO WMDs. NO biological weapons. NO chemical weapons. Majority of all Democrats voting NO on the war.  CIA officials stating 'intel' was omitted. NO Bin Laden in Iraq. It takes only a committee to come to a different conclusion on 'intel'.

    Say it with me, Bush used inflated 'intel' or he was negligent or both. You fucking fail hardcore. I'm done debating a retard living in lala land.

  • ytdsmom, you don't know what you're talking about. It's called 'the war on terrorism' for a reason. We went to war with Iraq after Sept 11 because we were all told Saddam was a major player with Al Qaeda and that he/Saddam had a nuclear program. Neither of which were true.

  • dukesmaviddicky:

    Idiot -- are you really that ignorant & brainwashed?

    Go watch the Democrats in their OWN WORDS -- they were convinced Saddam had WMDs & needed to be disarmed. This was even BEFORE Bush was in office

    YouTube Search:

    "Democrats Hypocrisy Iraq"

    "Al Gore King Nothing"

  • ytdsmom, you're retarded. Democrats might have been suspicious of Saddam's chemical and biological weaponry, but they didn't pull the trigger to go into Iraq; Bush did. The Bush administration lied to everyone when they claimed to have concrete evidence that Saddam had a nuclear weapons program and it was likely he would sell his nukes to Al-Qaeda. Try getting your info elsewhere other than FoX news you sheep.

  • dukesmaviddicky:

    No -- you're WRONG

    Watch the videos again -- and listen carefully this time. As boring as Gore is, listen to his criticism about NOT taking action

    And you really prove your ignorance & immaturity when you don't understand that the reports on WMDs came from "Intell" -- the same sources Clinton used. DEMOCRATS read the reports too

    When a weatherman says there's a 90% chance of rain -- and then it doesn't --- did he "lie" or were the reports wrong?

  • Your 'intel' was purposefully and willfully inflated by Cheney and the Bush administration. One example of this is the inflated capabilities of Iraqi unmanned aerial drones. Your 'intel' doesn't mean shit when it's a lie. Second, despite you wanting to drag Democrats through the dirt with you're foolish Republican ideological warmongering, 61% of Democrats voted against H.J.Res. 114. While only 6 Republicans out of 223 voted no. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

  • LMAO!!!

    Stop being so idiotic -- really

    Did you not know that an independent BI-PARTISAN group found ZERO evidence that any intell was tampered with, altered, etc.

    The liberal media has sure done a great job w/you!!

  • Listen moron, if non of the information was inflated we would have found in the least a new nuclear weapons program or updated biological UAV's or chemical weapons. Guess what, not a fucking thing. They didn't get one thing right including that Saddam was in cohorts with AQ. And what

    infamouslulu already stated, Bush told his staff to find a reason. So although the evidence might not have been 'tampered with or altered' it was inflated. Now go smoke some Hannity dick.

  • You might try growing up a bit. Perhaps then, you could see how ignorant & gullible you are

    It was CONFIRMED & PROVEN that Bush did not tamper with any reports nor pressure anyone for a 'reason'

    Perhaps you need to update yourself on the facts -- using a reputable source

    WHY do you think MSNBC's ratings are in the tank?

    Answer: Because it's been proven they lie & brainwash little minds like yours

  • Perhaps you should learn to think for yourself rather than listening to FAUX News. Explain to me how there could be evidence for Saddam having nuclear weapons when he didn't? Explain how evidence linked Saddam and AQ when it's well known the two weren't in cohorts? Explain how every single goddamn piece of so called 'evidence' turned out to be wrong? The administration clearly inflated the case and used fear mongering to attack Saddam. BTW, look up the difference between inflated and tamper

  • This is from MSNBC

    It basically states that it was the INTELLIGENCE --- our own AND globally --- that lead to the belief Saddam had WMDs. Remember too -- Saddam didn't want the inspectors as though he did indeed have something to hide

    AlQaeda not in Iraq?

  • LMFAO! Your own links destroy you!

    "produced overstated or incorrect conclusions"

    (The finding) demonstrates that it was the administration, not the CIA, that exaggerated the relations between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida,"

    And as far as AQ being in Iraq, LMFAO. AQ was nearly non existent in Iraq till we moved in. They were mostly sitting on the boarder of Afghanistan. This is a well known fact. Not to mention AQ operates in numerous countries. Are we going to invade them all! hahahaa

  • ROFLMAO!! You are SO INCREDIBLY ignorant.

    That was a DEMOCRAT'S opinion -- trying ever so desperately to read into the report.

    Read the OFFICIAL Conclusion dipshit!

    "The committee did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments related to Iraqs weapons of mass destruction capabilities," the 511-page report said.

  • The Democrat you speak of was commenting on new evidence that was omitted from the report that proved Bush INFLATING the story behind AQ and SADDAM. You moron.

    Looks like you have nothing to say on my rebuttal of AQ in Iraq. You were stupid for believing that was the reason we went there.

    Lastly, get with the times. Former CIA Officials such as Flynt Leverett have already exposed the administration for committing fraud by omitting CIA intelligence. You lose.

  • Idiot --- that Democrat was proven WRONG

    Face the facts. Why do think even witch Pelosi said "impeachment is off the table"??

    I didn't have room to reply to your idiotic comment regarding Al-Qaeda

    Here you go dipshit; Argue with US Military officials:

    weeklystandard . com / Content / Public / Articles /000 / 000 / 014 / 043delki . asp

  • No, the Democrat wasn't proven WRONG and neither were the CIA officials you've yet to debunk. I guess you'll just slide it under the rug like Bush did right. Second, your link reaffirmed my point. AQ is located in numerous countries. That doesn't mean those countries leaders are in cohorts with AQ. We had AQ in the US, does that mean Bush was working with them. FUCK NO. You're lamebrain logic fails. Lastly Bin Laden group is said to be in Waziristan and Baluchistan. But you went to Iraq!

  • Also your entire argument is fucking stupid. If one person tells a lie, and then the other person repeats the lie, it's still a lie. Second, if a committee can come in and review the evidence and declare the CIA was at fault for their 'group think' mentality then so is the fucking administration since they Bush/Cheney/ETC should have reviewed the same intelligence and came to the same conclusion as this committee instead of spreading the same misinformation. Just proves they didn't give a shit

  • Idiot --

    The DEMOCRATS reviewed the SAME INTELLIGENCE --- and reached the SAME conclusion

  • Hey, fucking moron. Read my posts so I can stop repeating myself and you'll see that the majority of Democrats voted AGAINST HJRES 114. It only passed the House because Republicans controlled it.  You lose once again.

  • LOL!!

    29 Democrats voted FOR

    23 Democrats voted AGAINST

    Nice try --- you lose again

    senate . gov / legislative / LIS / roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote­_cfm . cfm?congress=107&vote=00237&se­ssion=2

  • That's not the House, that's the Senate and if Republicans had as much sense as the Democrats we wouldn't have went to war in the first place. Once again, you're reading comprehension fails.
