I guess you just totally ignored all the other polling. Out of all the figures involved in the debt cieling - deficit reduction deals President Obama comes out the rated higher than John Boehner.
So what? The mass population is stupid, just read these forums and then look at who we elected for confirmation.
What does polls have to do with the debt? Ooh, Obamas polls are better, so the debt isnt that bad?
We also need a tax overhaul and get rid of all the little deductions.
Little is the key word. You seem fixed on nibbling around the edges than attacking the real problem. By the left's own account eliminating tax cuts may bring in $1 trillion over 10 years. We are running deficits of $1.4 trillion. The time for class warfare is over. We need real, serious and deep cuts in spending.
And the GOP has their hand in this as well. 2 wars????? Trillions wasted on 2 crapholes that will be no better off if we double what we waste on them.
How many GOPers voted for the bailout? The stimulous package? For pork????? How many GOPers are offering to pay for their own health insurance? Its a bipartisan goat screw begining to end.
2 crapholes? How easily the world forgets. Do you not recall 9/11? The Taliban? Terrorism? Certain Middle Eastern nations and groups who have pledged to destroy Israel and the United States? And now we are abandoning our efforts there... Who knows what will happen next...
Right... because Democrats have always been the party of fiscal conservatism.
I guess you just totally ignored all the other polling. Out of all the figures involved in the debt cieling - deficit reduction deals President Obama comes out the rated higher than John Boehner.
And NOT ONE Democrat voted to support the Obama proposed budget. NOT ONE.
The time for games has ended. 800 plus days without a budget. It is time for Reid to acknowledge the seriousness of the situation and present a serious budget.
Stop the horse race non sense. We have serious problems that need serious solutions. My 7 year old year old doesn't rate me very high when I won't let him have ice cream.
I agree. Time everyone in Congress, and especially the Prez, needs to stop with the sound-byte rhetoric and finger pointing.
We all know the only reason the DEMs kept saying the GOP wanted to take away grandma's SS and Medicare was to scare the hell outta people, while at the same time, making themselves look like the "saviors" in this deal.
GOP are fiscal conservatives and the last thing they want is their SS checks diminished, lol. THat was a totally political move on Pelosi and Reid's part, to give them an excuse for not passing any of the bills the House sent them.
Time for the BS to stop. If entitlements have to be cut, then it has to be something that EVERY CONGRESSMAN AND THE PRESIDENT must do.
No "good guys and bad guys" in this situation . . . it has to be everyone moving forward w/ measured consideration and sincere purpose towards getting a budget in place that reduces debt.
The DEms seemed to me to be the winners since they got their extension of the credit card and didn't have to come up with any cuts. Did they say anything about cuts? I failed to hear it if they did.
Do you know that the law was illegally proposed and illegally passed without the Tea Party people you want thrown out of the House voting for it. How in hell is it their fault when they didn't defeat that law? No answer, I bet.
Are you saying that they didn't vote? Why do you think that it was illegally proposed and illegally passed???
