Papantonio: GOP Wants to Shut Down Cash-Strapped Government

[onlyrey]

2:31 Did Cavuto flip a bird (middle finger) to Papantonio?

The modern GOP is un-Lincoln like, it opposes everything Lincoln stood for including protecting and promoting American manufacturing, a national bank system run by government, government spending money on infratructure (internal improvements) like high speed rail etc. being pro-Government of by for the people - like Lincoln, T. Roosevelt etc. The modern GOP is anti-free Government, anti-protection of American manufacturing and its restoration and pro-Free market n trade an anathema to Lincoln.

God, I love how Niel does such a good job of allowing all of his guests to speak thier piece so fairly, and jumps in to allow Pap to talk.

Oh wait, that lasted for four syllables, i think, with Pap. maybe 6.

THE REPUBLICANS INHERITED A SURPLUS IN 2000? Oh wait, the republicans were running both houses of congress for the last 7 years before 2000.

[imaginepeace63]

Republicans won the housen and senate in 96. 2001 50 democrats 50 republicans in the senate, 49 dems to 51 republicans in the senate in 2003 also Jeffords switched from republican to independent, ALso you forget that some of the republicans in the senate were more moderate like CHaffee and Jeffords.

[insightfu]

lol....Who has the power of this purse in this country? Congress, now focus on 1994 to 2000. Go and learn your history, it was a little thing called contract with america. Yes, after 2001, republicans started spending like democrats.

[BusinessIDBAI]

Hey insightfu, I just kicked the hell out of your little comment there. They started spending like "democrats" in 2001 BECAUSE CLINTON WASN'T THERE TO VETO THEIR ASSES!

Learn your history buddy, learn your government too!

[BusinessIDBAI]

Yup, in 2008, military spending was 44% of our national budget! Health care, poverty prevention, education and job creation, AND science funding account for 34%!

All of that was LESS than what we spend on the military, you see where we have room for cuts mr. economist?

[imaginepeace63]

Yeah what a great contract. ALl the promises were broken

[BusinessIDBAI]

And getting their massive military spending increases vetoed to hell by CLINTON! You know how much we spend A YEAR on the military now?

SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION a YEAR! 711 BILLION dollars this year, you know how much the pentagon wanted for the wars? SEVENTY BILLION! That's right, 70 billion with 130 billion in reserve, the rest goes to god knows what, but it's a HUGE waste of money.

Don't hear you bitching about THAT, you know we spend only 62 BILLION on education in that same time frame?

[rjbonacolta]

I can't believe that these Fox idiots actually exist! My poor country.

[rjbonacolta]

We are going to hell in a hand basket because we're WWAAAYYY too far to the right.

[classc63]

What a bunch of FAUXTARDS....you ever notice how they all start talking over Pap as soon as he starts TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!

[barbtube01]

Doesn't Liz McDonald looks like Niel Cuvato in drag......see 1.12?

[dizzymasekela]

It was hilarious hearing some airhead from Faux Business say: it's a problem when people who don't know a whole heck of a lot about the economy are worried about our deficit.

[classc63]

I know...I thought that too...And you know who that PERFECTLY describes? Glenn Beckkk and his Teabaggers friends!

[TheEvolver311]

the GOP didn't care about Bush's spending they OKed all of it, Bush didn't have the power to fund anything. they only began to care when they remembered that they like to pretend to be fiscal conservatives at reelection then they started caring about it.

[rickamabob13]

Liz McDonald said, "republicans in Congress criticized Bush for doiing his wreckless spending..."

HEY Liz go read the Constitution of the United States specifically in Article I 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 defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.

Anybody asks what's a talking head, direct them to this video!

[petehjr1]

Ironic since Fox "buissiness" channel is a huge money pit for Murdoch. He just keeps pouring money down that hole just so Cavuto can have a place to blovate free of the other big giant heads. (Hannity,Beck,orally)

[madamezora7]

The only people retarded enough to want government closed down are the ones too stupid to contemplate complete pandemonium and civil war. Please grow up.

I love how FAUX news has three to one odds to begin with, then they have to talk over Mike for the two minutes he gets- yeah, that's "fair and balanced".

[skybirdbird]

someone should close down the gov........i could care less who, though it would be nice if it were our mighty leader who did it.......
