Republicans don't cut spending either. And there is a decidedly sharp tone towards the "poor people that want free stuff" ever since Obama won, actually ever since Romney's 47% remarks came out, which is the basis of my post. Even though a bunch of the 47% is elderly and students and such. Republicans should have went with Paul, dumb republicans would vote for whomever and independents that want spending cut might have gone for him.
it is no wonder that clinton and reagan are looked at more fondly than our other presidents.
let's face it, the FSA did speak in this election and they did vote for MORE of the same-so we deserve what is coming-and ron paul could have never won this group over, EVEN IF HE DID PUT AMERICANS FIRST.
Into believing that welfare is the reason for the fiscal cliff. If you are gonna spout, try educating yourselves first.
Here I am reminded of the excellent video from 2008, "How Obama Got Elected." It's on youtube; I won't bother to link since it's been linked so many times before on CD.
Typical right wing ignorance. Spending actually only went up by an average of 1.6% per year which is the slowest rate of ANY President since Calvin Coolidge. The reason the deficit increased is because spending held steady while revenue went down as the bubble popped.
Facts, they're just never on the side of the right wing nut jobs.
apparently you, like many of the sheeple liberals cant read or understand numbers
from 2008 to present:
defense spending has increased 16%...... 593b to 673b (16% in 4 years or an average of a 4% increase each year)
medicare spending has increase 29%..... 386b to 498b
medicaid spending has increased 44%.... 201b to 299b (*11% a year).....medicare/ciad makes up nearly 850 billion of our spending
ss spending has increased 17% ........ 612B to 719b....by fy2015 it is projected to be 890 billion....for fy2017 breaks the trillion mark 1.007 trillion

Typical liberal ignorance. If spending went up 1.6%, and revenue went down, then, wait for it.....
You are spending more than you take it. Which means you're losing money. Which means a deficit. Which means we're all screwed.
I for one can't wait. The faster we collapse, the faster we can move on.
Welfare is the reason Obama was reelected and nothing will be done to rein in spending.
Yea, ask the Obamaphone lady. She will tell you.

Because they are producing. Welfare, all they do is stick their hands out for freebies.. that's why.
Silly republicans they do no know its the rich white old guys . We do not tax them enough its not fair they are the cliff
Your definition of rich is wrong. Either way, it's set in stone. There will be super rich and there will be poor. Watch out middle class, they use "the poor" to get your vote but you are wearing a bullseye on your forehead. The tax man cometh.

So it is so easy to discount the politicians who are getting government handout in the way of subsides and pet projects. Why are'nt they being included? because they have lobbyist as oppose to the poor who do not, considering it is the politicians that make the situation so bad that people have to go on welfare in the first place.
Ignorance that you are defending is the main reason that the rich keep getting richer and the middleclass is steady declining.
