This guy need to comb his hair before taking the floor of congress.

I hate how when Republicans ask for common sense, and over a day to read 1000+ pages, they get called obstructionist bullies.

I am a Liberal and I will not let your facts and logic get in my way.

"I think the responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was president, to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," Bill Clinton

"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not in crisis." Barney Frank

also, its probably worth noting that the 400 billion number is farcical. Bush and the republican congress were very fond of using accounting tricks to make the deficit look smaller by doing things like making war spending "emergency supplementals". Obama has ceased that practice. Also, the 400 billion number was, if i am not mistaken an estimate that, you guessed it, didn't include Bush's bailout spending, after which the estimate is over 1 trillion. Bush's october 08 bailout was 700 billion.

Of course not. I'll repeat myself: Obama inherited an economic crisis and i'll include, neglect for infrastructure spending. You keep writing as if there is no context for the spending. Again, compare to Bush era republican spending. I was raised libertarian and have a very strong aversion to government waste. The crisis is very real and confidence in our institutions must be restored. I cant support the republicans platform of economic suicide. sorry.

Eric Cantor and his party have nothing to offer except petty obstructionist tactics. I am so happy this gang did not win the election.

See ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

Lets look at fiscal responisbility....Bush's last year's defecit was just over 400Billion.....CBO's estimate, thus far, it will change tomorrow with more spending, for Obama is 1.2 Trillion.

Since you were so concerned with Bush's fiscal responsibility, I am sure your concerned three times as much about Obamas.

c) also, I happen to like the idea of a pay roll tax holiday. naturally, republicans don't actually support that. probably they agree with obamas plan more than they let on. thats probably the real reason they have no counter plan.

[massimofortitudo]

a) you definitely lack a sense of irony. you seem to like ad hominems quite a bit yourself.

b) I used the word sheeple when people act like sheep. that may be unfair on occasion, but I post for entertainment as much as debate. this is the internet. don't be a concern troll. people who had no, or very very little problem with spending for the last eight years, who suddenly re-disover fiscal responsibility and simultaneously call out obama as some kind of marxist, are fucking sheeple.

[ufbret]

What are you in first grade? If you cant debate on the merits, just start babbling ad hominem attacks. You actually used the word sheeple......I'll give you a 3 for creativity....scratch that, my five year old says make it a 2, and she is obviously brighter than you....to bad Obeyme...errr...Obama has saddled her with a 11.4 trillion dollar debt.

Hey heres an idea....lets pass a bill to stop paying taxes for one year...thats one trillion, then lets see if that stimulates the economy.
