"Implement real Wall Street regulations, something Dodd/Frank bill has not done."

and what would the republicans do? NOTHING. "republicans" & "regulation" are COMPLETELY ANATHEMA to eachother. REPUBLICANS DO NOT REGULATE. they DEregulate. its also true that they DONT GOVERN. their aim is to PRIVATIZE government & make law & order "work" for those who have ALOT of money.

weak as it is, the Dodd/Frank bill is SOMETHING as apposed to NOTHING we wouldve gotten from the GOP.

i didnt put notice on your quoutation of the article to say there was anything wrong with you doing that. i i gave notice to point out the IRONY of it. because it looks like youve fooled yourself into thinking that because the bush tax cuts didnt cause the recession that it isnt a problem unto itself. sorry to burst your bubble but IT IS. we CANNOT i repeat CANNOT extend them for the richest 2% americans. doing so hurts our ability to pull our economy out from where it is.

You obviously don't understand how our government works. Dems have controlled both houses for 4 years. Pelosi has passed every bill she wanted. She couldn't have defunded the wars? Obama is C.I.C., he could end the wars anytime. The Libertarians on the Right have never supported these wars.

Staying in Iraq and afghan will never make things "right". This is a stupid argument created by the Left to justify our continued presence while Obama is president.

@fivestarmichael No, I simply want you assholes on the right to either shut up and pay your taxes OR be ready to cut spending where it will matter most. You guys have had it both ways for too long. Please explain the last war we HAD to fight? Now, take all that wasted cah since WWII and we could pay every SS payment, have healthcare for all americans AND pay off the deficit. As a former soldier, I understand that we must have a defense, we don't need WASTED spending.

[fivestarmichael]

@Rushtrdamus In one comment you insist we shut up and pay taxes and the next comment you complain about paying taxes to fund wars. Obviously we are not being well-represented, there is billions being spent on needless bureaucracy and the military.

We have over 700 military in over 200 countries and it is time to end our occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. The Dems have been in control of Congress for 4 years and they haven't stopped funding. Nor has Obama.

[Rushtrdamus]

@fivestarmichael The firdt place we need to cut spending is defense. Right now we're spending more than the next 5 largest countries with armies. There's something very wrong with us spending that much cash without actual wars needing the funding. We spent 1.2 trillion on theses 2 wars and have nothing to show for it. Surely you don't like the level of spending our defense dept. has?
