As a proud patriotic liberal I encourage both congress and senate to defeat every bill that would provide employment for republicans. I'm very much looking forward to the day every inbred right winger and their children have no job or home. Keep up the good work!
the problem with most representation is they go by their views(not the views of "the people")or are paid off by lobbyist
fact is youve drank too much koolaid and are dead inside, you cant see the US going in a downward spiral
blame the rich and taxi them more, they are the ones that have the businesses that create jobs, if you tax them more then they have less to invest to hire more, wrong answer is to overtax people that are already paying more
No- taxes were merely the catalyst, the lack of representation was the heart of the issue. They weren't opposed to taxation.
And YOU'VE downed gallons of that garbage Reaganomics Kool-aid. Taxes have little to nothing to do with jobs- especially when we're talking about the 4% increase Obama proposed (which would be a return to Clinton era rates, which I recall the 90s going pretty well...) But I suppose I'm gonna have to give you an economics lesson on top of your history lesson?
hmmm well reagan did bring us out of the carter doomsdays
if you think bush was the big problem then obama should have been the new reagan but he is just the new carter
yea the 90s went well with clinton, the only bad thing he pushed through was nafta. I would much rather have a president that was more worried about getting his dick sucked than practicing horrible politics because the economy was allowed to grow without over regulation
Reagan cut taxes in Aug '81 and unemployment was 7.4%. One year later, it was 9.8%. A year after that? 10.1%. Two years after the biggest tax cuts in HISTORY, Unemployment was UP almost 3%.
From 2001-07 (total GOP control), we had tax cuts and two wars were started (still going) and NONE of it was paid for. And what did we end up with in '08? A recession.
One of the FIRST things Clinton did was pass his budget bill and raise taxes on the top 1%. What did we get? Balanced budget.
continue on... then unemployment % fell drastically
wars cost money, dems voted to go to war too(your president said he would end both wars but didnt, then wanted in on libya)
recession because of the housing bubble burst because people bought what they couldnt afford
yes he did, like i said i didnt have a problem with clinton but these lies about the rich paying less than middle class are false and the CBO even says so but your president wants to lie about it
With prodding from Congress, Reagan passed TEFRA- aka "The biggest peacetime tax increase in US History"- as it rescinded many of the initial bold cuts. And in 1986 he passed the Tax Reform Act of 1986- which lowered individual taxes while raising... get this.. CORPORATE TAXES! Reagan raised taxes 11 times. And yet, as you state, unemployment fell. Because they're not related.
No one is saying that the rich pay LESS than the middle class; rather proportionately they ought to pay more.
really? i thought seal team 6 killed osama, and that the cia gathered info, all obama did was say go for it
hmmm no that would be nato and the rebel fighters in libya... the same rebel fighters that will end up ruling it like the taliban in afgh. (remember the US helping the taliban fight the russians in afgh? then the taliban took over and see where we were at after that?
Obama absolutely deserves credit for making that call. It was right call. He certainly would've been blamed had it been a Bay of Pigs-esque disaster, no?
he does not deserve credit for shit, he wasnt risking his life at all and most of the info that led to the discovery of osamas whereabouts was gotten before obama even took office, he is a public servant that thinks he is a king, i hope he gets cancer and dies a horrible death because he is ruining peoples lives and everyone would be much better off without him
lol...More mindless bitching and moaning from the Teabaggers. So you're telling me that had Seal Team 6 been killed and OBL were still alive today, Obama would not have been faulted for giving the green light? Bullshit. The President of the United States is the Commander-in-Chief of the military. The military is not some free floating entity. They take orders. And right now, the man at the top is Barack Obama. It's like saying Lincoln played no part in the Civil War. Mindlessness.
he is a public servant not a fucking king, he deserves no credit, if he was in charge when people were interrogated we would not have gotten all the info that we got because he wouldn't have allowed any of the interrogations to happen because first of all we wouldn't have then at Guantanamo and he wouldn't allow any type of psychological torturing, and the military does 99% of what it does without asking your president for permission so it basically is free floating
As late as December of 2009, (which of course would be after Obama's inauguration) Secretary Gates told the BBC that they'd not had any reliable leads on Bin Laden for years- so you're assumption that Bush's torture landed us Bin Laden is a poor one. And in this instance, they did NOTHING without the President's green light. So get real.
if you believe that obama should get credit for "killing osama" for giving the ok to then i want credit for engineering a car that gets me to work because i pressed the gas pedal down
I very clearly stated multiple times that Obama deserves credit for making the call. But I understand why you have to fabricate something that I never (nor anyone else for that matter) argued. I ask again, had this mission gone down like the Bay of Pigs did, if Seal Team 6 had been captured and tortured and killed, and Osama were still alive, would you not be criticizing Obama for the decision? Be honest, now.
you can state anything you want but you have to back it up with facts, fact is all he did was press the fucking gas pedal but he wants to take credit for building the whole car, I would rather him had gone in himself with a gun and risk his life and hopefully die, but he didnt do shit but say ok do it while sitting in the safety of the whitehouse being the coward he is that has never served in the military
Whatever dude, you're crazy with teabag hatred and fear just like the rest. I've not only backed up my argument with fact, I disproved an assertion of yours. And you still didn't answer my question, and understandably so. You won't give Obama credit for anything, just admit it. Bin laden dead is a good thing and it happened under Obama's watch. And that's it.
As for the rest of that nonsense- I suppose Lincoln should've FOUGHT at Gettysburg instead of giving the address. lol derp
you have no facts except for that he said do it, that deserves no credit, he does deserve credit for increasing class warfare and digging us into a deeper recession, i will give him that
According to Secretary of State Robert Gates who has served under Bush and Obama, they had NO CLUE where Bin Laden was as recently as 20 months ago. FACT. Which means your assertion that Bush had jack shit to do with it false. Obama could cure cancer and you nitwits would find a reason to gripe. Too bad you have nobody who can beat him at the moment.
i never gave bush "credit" i gave the military credit that they deserve, obama couldnt cure shit especially with his obamacare that is so horrible that not even the people that voted it in wants it
Actually you did- you said we would've never caught him if not for Bush's interrogation tactics, and demonstrated that your claim was simply false. It's not a matter of EITHER the military deserves credit OR Obama deserves credit- I know it's all black and white with you teabaggers, but no they BOTH deserve credit. Obama made the call and it was the right call. And it was a good thing. It just drives you all nuts that it didn't happen during Cowboy Bush's administration. lol
ACTUALLY, i never mentioned bush at all and absolutely never gave him credit for anything, i hate bush too. here it goes, another libtard screaming racism. OBAMA IS HALF WHITE AND ONLY CLAIMS HE IS BLACK WHY NOT SCREAM RACISM AT HIM???? and once again i hate bush too so i dont give a fuck that you worship obama and think he is god but he deserves no credit for killing osama, if he puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger then i will give him credit for killing a terrorist
Yea, uh huh. Ya hated W. but I bet you voted for his ass twice.
You wouldn't give Obama credit for anything, like I said. You made up your mind about Obama when he announced his candidacy and opted to just ignore what has actually happened during his term- you'll just bust into hysterics anytime he does anything.. And now you're PRAYING that one of those clowns in the GOP lineup can beat him. Good luck with that. By your absurd logic, only 2 of the candidates are not "Cowards".
and maybe you didnt read my previous post because i did give him credit for sinking us into a deeper recession, creating worse healthcare system and making class warfare worse
they can beat him because most are much better than him because they believe in smaller gov't just like the founding fathers(maybe you dont know history, we revolted against the british because they wanted to tax the hell out of us and overcontrol us)
You need to take a look at what Congress has done, not just in the last 3 years, but over the last decade. And starting shifting your blame. And no, the taxes were not the issue in the Revolution- lack of representation was the issue. Washington had a small uprising during his second term called the Whiskey Rebellion- the issue THERE was an excise tax on liquor. Washington's stance? These are OUR taxes approved by YOUR representatives. Pay up. Sure you wanna try me on history?
BRAVO! Now that's the speech Obama should have given. Short and to the point.
Another great speech from Obama. I'm worried about a Democratic President talking about touching social security. I want the jobs bill to past I honestly do. yes it is a little more Republician-heavy than I want but it would be a start. It would be nice to see Obama not cave I just wish he didn't put social security on the table.
@jensjam I wrote to my republican congressman and told him to pass the bill, pass it now, and I am going to keep doing it. And I hope all those people who are dogging them at their offices keep it up and I hope everyone does what the president said, call, write, email, tweet, fax whatever we have to do, just keep the pressure on!!
