Thanks, but the CBO numbers only matter to a liberal when they think it supports their point of view. Everyone knows that people keeping more of their own money makes them less dependent on the govt. and liberals don't want that
hazlnut;1058947745]Why? Why was 3T added to the debt in less than 2 years. What were the policies and events that lead to that... I seem to remember something about some tax cuts for the rich and super-righ that were going to fix everything... That's right, flood an unregulated derivatives and mortgage back securities market with billions, and what could go wrong.
EVERY report/study/expert says the damage was done by 2005. It was a ticking time-bomb goose egg laid by W.
The bailout, the auto-bailout... what were the alternatives?? We were screwed but Cheney/Bush policies. Put a million people out of work in the detroit area? Even conservative economists know you can't do that. Let AIG fail? I think even you know that wasn't an option.
W. handed President Obama a mess, 2 wars unpaid for, an economy in shambles, no matter how much your masters at Fox News try to rewrite history, can't change what's already on the books.
And what I know for Goddamned sure, Beck's fear-mongering and race-baiting, getting the Teabrains rock-hard about gettin' Blackie out of office isn't the solution. Tomorrow is a exercise in ginning up the GOP Obama-hating base.
The solution is pragmatic cool heads, Reps and Dems working together. But the fringe-right won't have it. Can't stand the new color in the White House.
The Teabrains, Beck, and Palin make me sick. Un-American, un-patriotic morons appealing to the lowest common denominator, fear.
Call 'em like I see 'em.
Economists look at 10 year, 20 year policies and results. Idiot pundits grade Presidents day-to-day. Which one are you?
According the CBO - old people need to die faster... I mean, if you really read the numbers.
How many of the senior citizen Teabrains want to talk about those issues?

Obama's stimulus cost more than the entire cost of the Iraq War.
Alternative to auto bail out was to let them fail. Do you think if they failed, no one would ever make another auto in the US??? Let me know the next time you own a private non-union business that gets bailed out you're in trouble.

Again, even conservative economists acknowledge the basic econ formula--when you put a 1 million people out of work in a metropolitan area like detroit, the resulting poverty and crime is more expensive then a managed bankruptcy--which is what the auto-bailouts were.
Now, they don't talk about that on Fox much, but that's how it works. When something breaks because you didn't care for it properly, then you cringe and pay the money to get it fixed. Toyota, Ford, and others invested in smaller cars and green tech cars... while GM kept building boats that didn't even work.

What? CBO has said nothing about people dying or the need for them to die quicker. I don't think you have a clue.
I think if you checked she had problems with Republicans and Republicans had problems with her. She is not exactly friendly with the current sitting Republican Senator and her dad. They are bitter enemies in fact.
Palin was an unethical quitter, and that's a fact.
They didn't say that, but look at where all our tax money is going. The last two months of life are going to sink us as a country.
Will GB be addressing that? No, we need to fight reform and progressive ideas....because progressive, empathy, they're all now bad words.
My position, my political stance is that if a conservative has a good idea, we use it. If a progressive liberal knows how to fix something, we go run with it. We stop the power tug-o-war by stopping the fear-based paranoia about the 'other side'. I don't fear conservatives or their ideas, but the fringe-right/left... they're both all about No.
That's where the death panels come in for everyone eldery...not just members of the Tea Party...unless Obamacare gives special treatment for dems.

Do you know how ignorant you sound when you say 'obamacare' ?-- it's a hyper-partisan hack talking point.

Great, you then just supported a healthcare bill that is a job killer and will do nothing to improve the quality or the access to healthcare. It will bust the budget unless you believe you can cover more people with fewer doctors at less cost?
I haven't seen any good ideas from Obama, Reid, and Pelosi and the results speak for themselves.
Thank you for revealing your ability to regurgitate partisan talking points.
That's the problem with party partisan sheep, you haven't even looked. A good idea could bite you in the ass and unless it's stamped GOP, you wouldn't notice.

It's Romneycare with a different name.
I thought I replied to this.Barbtx implyed that was so, click back to my previous post.
you could name some of those progressive ideas.
Hey, I'm still an American, and when great men have their memories stained by lesser people... I do get mad.
What I really hate is that every stupid, idiotic word Sarah/Glenn have ever said is somehow forgotten by MSM because they get 'train wreck' ratings. The public loves a freak show.
If the media would just pay them the attention they deserve, (0.0) they would go away.
But the public loves a freak show, so, as long as they keep it in their pants, we're stuck with them.
Well, most of what was in the Health Care bill was repackaged Heritage Foundation ideas... but I'd still call them progressive.
The problem is you don't know the real history (good and bad) of progressivism. If you're tap water is clean enough to drink, thank the progressives. If not, thank special interests undoing what the progressives once did.
The word Progressive has a totally different meaning/connotation for me. I guess I shouldn't have taken all that U.S. History in college.
Ask a Canadian what Progressive means.
