Yep. It sucks that our government has to make cuts, but they have to make them. Our government will go bankrupt without them. Tax increases would only be a short-term fix. You seem to place the blame solely on the GOP. They are to blame to a degree, but many of the things that created the collapsing economy was based on democratic programs.

@bigskycowboy35 right because Wall Street is a democratic program? Along with trickle down economics. Because both those things worked flawlessly right?

[bigskycowboy35]

He starts out with good points, then just rambles manipulative propaganda jibberish. ala beck, hannity, rush... I'm a corporate attorney and I agree with the points he makes about corruption, but then he just spoutes off non-truths (won't say lies, because I do think he believes what he is saying to be true). He can't make a point without being insulting. Outlawing t-partiers? That's very democratic Keith...

@bigskycowboy35 Take the fish hook out of your mouth. That must be really painfull. The major problem is that we have given large tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy in the name of job creation while they continue to take those jobs and outsource them to India and other countrys in the name of profit. Example: Walker gives 117 million in tax cuts. Then says the state is broke and needs to get rid of colective bargining. And the tea party buys it. LOL. Stop being such a fish.

@bigskycowboy35 Actually the ONLY economists who agree with you are "political economists" paid for by right wing causes. It's like getting climate warming "science" from the oil companies.

Would be amazing if K.O. could get a show similar to Bill Maher's "real time". K.O. could do a more in-depth such show, delving into topics that he likes. I like K.O. and am from Sweden. I wish him "good luck" as well(as he finishes by saying).

Why don't more Americans across the country stand up, link up with the internet (while we still can) and take to the streets to be heard? Is it because apathy prevails? Have the double cheeseburgers and the high fructose sodas sapped the will of outrage? Something has to change. We have to change and be heard.

I wish I had a hobby, or liked sports or drank to excess, or was a stoner or cared about beyonce and lady friggin Gaga. I wish I had a job where i could immerse myself for 12 hours pushing the corporation's product and then doing booze and coke until the next grinding day. I wish the lease on my car was up so I could wonder, "the red one or the blue one." God, what AM I going to do?

[bigskycowboy35]

BTW, Youtube and Facebook are corporations, who employ general counsel and hire the services of corporate attorney firms. Guess they must be a part of the big bad corporate America you want to boycott. Better stop using their services as they are "evil"...

[bigskycowboy35]

@2seek4truth That type of attitude would spin our economy into a great depression. Our economy is based on spending and commerce. Not all corporations are evil and not all are large. Do your homework and give your business to companies that do perform ethically. Do your banking at regional banks that did not accept tarp money.

@cruelbusiness1984 In whose pocket? You know absolutly nothing about my profession apparently. I fight for small businesses and counsel them so that they do the right things. My clients create high paying jobs for Americans, give thousands to charities, and bolster the economy. Oooooh...so evil! Part of this country's problem is that people don't respect other's perspectives anymore. Don't be so damn closed minded.

[bigskycowboy35]

@cruelbusiness1984 Correct...that's a part of the problem, but it isn't that simple. You can't blame our entire budget deficet on the Bush admin. For example, the mortgage crisis was largely created by an unwillingness of democrats to vote for more regulation or GSEs. That crash had a large influence on creating the recent recession and decreasing overall tax revenue. Now, stimulus bills and spending bills by both the Bush and Obama admin. are accelerating our deficet to dangerous levels.

[cruelbusiness1984]

@bigskycowboy35 u would say something like that bein a corporate attorney because ur right in thier pocket! I hav no respect for ur viewpoint

[cruelbusiness1984]

@bigskycowboy35 we hav budget problems because of wars we can't afford! we shouldn't balance wars being fought on the parts of corporate interests on the backs of the working poor and shrinking middle class. there are other ways that aren't bein considered here. They weren't based on democratic programs. these problems were there under the bush administration, who took a well balanced budget and bankrupted us in 8 short years. republican programs of war.
