The nonexistent CBO -- another GOP 'creation' like the 19 hijackers, bin Laden 'tapes' and trickle-down economics.

Why is this lie making the rounds so quickly? It's blatant class warfare.

Americans have rejected socialism for the elite and dinosaurs on both sides of the aisle need to come to terms with that.

Yeah, jobs, jobs, jobs Nancy.

Here we are a year later.....

You idiot, he was saying the Mike Pence is from Indiana.

Not Barack Obama.

You total dillweed.

[okiedragonlady2]

Listen closely - this moderator states that Obama is from Indiana - all else is based on nothing - so throw this shit out.

There were 2 reports; once from the CBO and once from the White House budget office.

You see, even if the administrative costs went as high as 1/5, it still serves the point. You want some targeted spending, but even the 'waste' still is a stimulus of the economy. If a government official spends, it's still a consumer and cash flows. The economy is wasteful anyhow.

i noticed, hes spouting bipartisan when the repubs are the minority, but are fine shutting out the dems when the repubs are in power.

[waltermh111]

For the same reason that people still think the repubs know anything about how to handle money or keep a budget.

They say they are for something and people believe it despite no repub controlled anything ever keeping with what they believe.

The Republicans, who have not understood how the economy actually works since Reagan slapped them on the head with a stupid stick, seem to think that the only form of stimulus is an instant defibrillator tax-break shock. But part of any real stimulus is the market confidence that comes with knowing that jobs and incentives have some future. And all the Republicans seem to miss one small detail - put someone to work and they're putting tax money back. Morons.

If it gets smeared across the land. But targeted application of those funds can do a lot of good. This is why I doubt this will happen. The PTBs have worked long and hard to get things this properly fucked up.

My oh my, we couldn't deliver freight train loads of $100 dollar bills to the Banks, but dare to try and help anyone else and be prepared to meet some mighty head winds.
