mnottertail -> GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 6:02:46 AM)
So, what is the Grand Old Parties plans to get us out of our current difficulties? How will they create jobs? How will they balance payments, and pay down our debt? How will they fix our infrastructure? How will they deal with the global community to keep us safe and competitive? I'm listening.

Lucylastic -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 6:11:43 AM)
Tax cuts

Moonhead -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 6:27:10 AM)
And maybe another war or two.

You have not been paying attention.

Boehner has no clue...he just wants to play more golf

Reduce spending and cut taxes. Seems like a good idea to me. But Obama is doing such a great job getting people back to work, maybe we should just leave things the way they are ?

Jeffff -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 7:10:05 AM)
Since name calling is now frowned upon, I am going to pass on it. I will instead respond to your silly post. WHERE will they reduce spending. HOW will they reduce spending. What effect will it have on the rest of our lives? How much less in taxes will make your own personal life better? Please don't give me the bullshit, 'any amount" answer. 10.00 in your pocket does very little to improve your life. What taxes will they reduce?

DomYngBlk -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 7:15:37 AM)
Actually if you look at the track record they won't reduce spending. They simply will shift spending from one area to another that is more favorable to them.

servantforuse -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 7:16:34 AM)
Any amount of money I have to spend is better than the government wasteing it. $ 100 will go a long way maybe for dinner and drinks. The restaurant keeps employees that now have my $ 100 to spend someplace else. $ 100 given to the govt doesn't employ anyone. The more they take, the less everyone has to spend.

DomYngBlk -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 7:20:56 AM)
So the gov't gets the money and never spends it? Are you sure you are going with that one? They hoard all the tax money they get and never spend it on anything........are you sure?

What about the rest of my questions?

mnottertail -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 7:22:24 AM)
So, government employees don't go out for dinner and drinks? Doesn't that equal out? How about government contractors? Senators? RNC chairmen entertaining contributors? If the government doesn't spend this money as well (on our economy) then we are either sitting on a fuckin heineous pile of cash somewhere, or they are spending great sums overseas for OUR benefit? Uh oh............

servantforuse -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 7:24:13 AM)
That's the problem. The govt spends all of the money but it does nothing to put anyone to work. Unless you have a job with the govt. Don't believe the 9.5 % unemployment figure. It is actually closer to 17 %..

Louve00 -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 7:26:25 AM)
Actually, Moonhead took my guess.

That someone probably spends the money on other things in the economy which provide jobs and then other jobs and so on and so on.....Or are you saying someone keeps all the money. Can you be clearer on this for me?

servantforuse -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 7:35:17 AM)
They are NOT providing jobs. Unemployment is at a record high and it isn't going down any time soon.

mnottertail -> RE: GOP to the rescue. (8/10/2010 7:43:49 AM)
so, we stipulate that, and how does the GOP intend to get jobs in this economy? lets assume that the average wage in america is $17 hourly or about 35.4K a year? too high? too low? 17 percent unemployment, and nobody buying much in the way of american products due to their shoddy composition and whatnot. Where and what jobs are the GOP gonna make? What industries are the low hanging fruit and what industries need a boost thru federal intervention? You ain't said a damn thing yet.

Can you be clearer on this for me? Even Obama's (now former) economic advisor admits that that the multiplier on private spending is about twice the multiplier on government taxing/spending. (A multiplier of 3 vs around 1.4).
