Hey! dont go around telling the TRUTH!

That is not fair! We are supposed to SHUT UP and appologize when accused of bad things (that arent true) by liberals!


CS here speaks truth. The republican house has passed a budget that includes very very very specific detail about spending and revenue. The Democrat Senate has DONE NOTHING.

Everyone knows exactly where the republicans stand on both spending and taxation in minute detail.
What we know of the Obama plan is that we know the tax increases. We know of new spending increases. BUT Mr. Obama has said he wants a balanced budget and will find spending cuts. Only we have NOT SEEN any of these magic cuts and we have NO IDEA how he gets to a balanced budget.

The House has also passed numerous jobs' bills that have stalled in the Senate.

No, it wasn't too specific, but it did sound like a promising concept to me.
uh huh sure. Like he said he gave 18 tax cuts to small businesses. Half were double counted, the others created so much paperwork that it was not worth doing. Others expired but they were included in the count. This guy, Obama, never ran a business and doesn't know crap about it either.

President Obama: A world wide JOKE.
Obama Suporters: illiterates

Lets make a bet. I bet that during Obama's second term you will stay poor, if you have a job with the re-election of this group of clowns many more will lose their jobs. And you will not get a raise so don't count on that either.

Bunch of Obama bozo's waiting for something that will never come.

I can't give you anything more specific then his incoherent, political campaign, double speak, lofty pie-in-the-sky rhetoric, and his vague promises of some Utopian future, built on tax increases. You'll just have to trust that in Obama's second term, that he will to do the exact opposite to our economy, then what he did in his first term.

I believe over the last 2 years since Republicans gained control of the House, they have passed more than 30 bills related to Budget, Spending, Taxation, and stimulus that have been utterly ignored by the democrat Senate.

It appears that saying Tax the Rich is about like telling Fat Folks to Exercise.

Waa! Waa!

Pretty funny sitting back and watching, I tell you.

I am not really sure which Bammer I am supposed to listen to about specifics.

The one that said it was "unpatriotic" to have a debt of 9 trillionish?
Or the one that thinks 16 trillion is peachy?
Or the one that now thinks adding to the 16 trillion is even peachy-er?

The really sad thing is that the 52% who voted for Obama think that taxing the rich will fix our budget problems.

They dont seem to have the ability to understand that an 82 billion dollar fix does not even bandaid a 1 TRILLION dollar problem.

Oh and we arent really sure that the proposed tax hike on the rich will get us 82 Billion. This number presupposes the tax hike will not have an adverse effect on the overall economy. However, if the economy slows as a result of business owners adjusting to the new tax by laying off workers, or raising prices on goods and services (causing inflation), it is entrirely possible that the number could be closer to 70 or even 60 billion....

so.... someone on the left needs to tell us all how 82 billion equals one trillion.

First thing is to stop paying interest on our own debt/money.

There is a 6% savings the first moment.

How about the one that counts spending on wars that have been declared over as savings?
