Pretty Much in a nut shell there Gov ;-}

" I hope the country survives because this guy has no clue on how to run it. He is an amature and continues to blame the other guy."

So, I have reached a conclusion. Given your inability to spell frequently used words, your insistence that the most highly placed official in the land is incompetent and your endless prattling about non-existent problems;

You're an idiot.

I now bask in the Glorious Sunrise of our Impending Socialist Utopia, and have the greatest opportunity over the next four years; baiting, hounding and needling
you clueless hacks with one foot in the grave, the other in your mouths.

C'mon even Stevie Wonder could see this coming

Wait, Wait - Don't tell me had him on in Reverend Norquist's staid (or stead)...

Much more entertaining than the pretender.
Who is also quite fuzzy - but not so cute.

you're welcome for the lob

Playing with grownups is MUCH more fun than with my kids.

I still like Grover, mind you.
I'll miss Elmo. Elmo needs to learn to check ID more closely...

Yes..I too, had, well a slightly deeper fascination with one of that same gang (we'll call her MP for code). When it was reported that the affair had become more than platonic.. I insisted someone produce proof..this nearly resulted in a courts martial..although they are my eyes..DNA was inconclusive

You apparently believe the lie. OK, so let's say we do what is proposed. We raise taxes on the wealthy. Now, assume that there are no negative consequences which reduce revenues like increased unemployment, decreased investment, etc. This year, we will spend approximately $1 trillion more than our Federal revenue. We have been $1 trillion in the hole every year for the last 5 years. At best, we can expect something like $100 billion. So where do the other $900 billion come from? Personally, I wish the Republicans would create a 1-item, yes-no vote bill which only raises the tax rates on the "rich" just to take away the inane talking point from the Democrats.

"It seems you have no clue how much this government spends or where."

There is no doubt that waste, fraud and corruption undermine the expenditures of our largest line item - the Department of Defense. That's what you meant, right?

Do tell, "over half of all entitlement spending flows to the elderly, and around 40% of that sum is spent on health care." The Economist, Makers and Takers 13OCT12

The ridiculous notion that the wealthiest pay into a fund from which they receive no benefit ignores the generous exemptions, including interest paid on mortgages up to $1M and contributions to gold-plated health insurance total $1.3 TRILLION
per year, equal to 8% of GDP.

More than 60% of all tax preferences accrue to the wealthiest 20%,

The government is, in effect, subsidizing large houses, expensive health care
and retirement savings for those that already have money.

As to the decrepit notion that money flows from "job creators" - trickle down economics had 30 years to prove it's mettle, and the country is a wreck.

You want to double down on that, Jack?

The problem is that idiots think a government should run like a business.

Great Talking point NL but thats bout it. Same boring rhetoric. This is a world economy and people can move where they want. Keep the vilifacation up and you will get what you want a third world economy failing when the rich and the companies they own go bye bye. When your 401K and all the public pensions invested in those so called rich evil people fail you will be begging for help, but Uncle Sam will be tolotarian then and none will come.

End of argument link miester. You have your opinion and I have mine. Keep your insults to yourself it only proves your credibility is non existent.

Jack-This is approximately one thousand times you have stated you will not respond to Naome and you always go back on your word and keep on asking for more, and making a fool of yourself in the process.

Anyway, if you have such a problem with the FEDERAL deficit, why don't you make a bold statement, and ask the FEDERAL government to reduce your FEDERAL pension?

Who knows Jack-you might start a trend and solve the national debt.

I believe we are all well aware that taking away the unnecessary tax breaks handed to the wealthy by GWB is not all that is needed, but it is a very necessary and helpful start. Before you attempt to talk down to me, you should read the other components of Obama's plan to reduce the deficit. All very sound ideas which the majority of Americans want carried out. THAT is why he was reelected so let's give his ideas a try.
