OK, I kick the legs out of partisanians no matter which side.
Tell me this, when was the last regime that in this country, imposed a very heavy tax on the rich and let the poor go scot free ? Did Clinton do it ? Did Carter do it ?
Keep up the partisan bullshit and "they" will be happy with you. they might reward you, if they gain power. If you know them, suggest they run someone with a brain. I can see these assholes all day long on the TV news. Anchormen. That's all they are.
No President can do anything, once they get you in that room and you realize your very life depends on "them" you know what you will do, as did Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama. I expected a bit more from Obama, because of the racial situation, and that's why I supported him. I thought he might have some balls. I shoulda known better. Once they get you in that room.
If we ever get a real wiseguy in there, he will have his own protection - FROM the SS and the CIA. I would. They don't because they are part of the system, part of the problem.
Hey Termie!
So your answer is just to 'throw your hands up in the air and give up without a fight'? I wouldn't count Mr. Obama out just yet. If he had more support, I think we'd find much more in the way of solutions out of him. The President didn't do the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2008 cus 'he wanted to do it for the hell of it'; there were some really SERIOUS pressing matters on the nation at the time. He made a gamble, and it worked out pretty well in the nation's favor (we aren't in a Depression, right?). Could it have gone bad, yes, though I'm guessing the chance of that was much lower.
I'm pointing out in the source about, is from the Republican House. You know, the folks who told us US Jobs was their #1 task if they got elected back in November of 2010? Here we are, fouth month in, and still no real plan for developing jobs or, failing that, maintaining the jobs we have now. Slashing the budget, in my opinion, will cost us more jobs then make (truely and honestly, Termie). Vast sums of people really just dont understand what $100 Billion buys us as a nation in US Jobs. I'm not talking those who benefit directly, but indirectly (all those people have to buy groceirs, cars, houses, and cat litter).
It just doesn't make sense to me, that during a recession, with unemployment so high across all sectors, that we actively go about increasing the problem rather then diminishing it. Rather then slashing the budget, maintain it as it is now. Yes, I can understand if that doesn't sound 'correct' or 'logical' to you. Keeping the funding were it is, maintains the jobs; which is something we should be striving in the long run. When the economy gets better, THEN, lets chat cutting the budget. We'll have money flowing in, helping to pay down the debt over a number of years, and building up a store for the next recession (cus it will happen, that's just the nature of economics). Just make sure you come to the table seeking cuts from the stuff you want AND the stuff you dont want (but think the folks on the other side of the table would seek).
