Wall Street Pleads With GOP To Put The Debt Ceiling Gun Down

Well yeah. Who but the ultra elite with their $10 million annual bonuses are benefitting from the Obama economy?

There is a reason the gap between the very rich and the rest of us is growing so wide. The super-elites adore Obama. The national debt is money that poured right into their bank accounts.

It's hilarious to see these leftist posters whining about the sad fate of the Wall Street elite.

Interesting they never give a damn about the poor middle class taxpayers.

Wall Street also wants the QE economic stimulus to continue along at record highs of money creation.

Wall Street also wanted the deregulation that Bill Clinton was proud to sign into law -- that is now being blamed for damaging the economy.

$85B a month in free money. Of course Wall Street won't be happy.

I guess the "great recovery" can't stand on its on feet, huh?

Why not shut down the gold mines under gold standard during a depression? Same thing under a floating IOU system. In other words there are two groups of people broadly speaking. One group is clueless.

You leftists realize that once the money flow from Ben's printing press to Wall Street stops, you guys are SOL, right?

Of course, once it stops flowing to Obama, you're SOL too.

But they can't print forever. Your time is short, shutdown or no.

Do you know what the multiplier effect is?

Yes, the "multiplier effect" is better known as "multiple lies Democrats tell".

There is no such thing.

There is. The GOP increased it year after year when they were in power and anything the government does continues to grow. They could have put a stop to it but didn't. They got us into expensive wasteful wars. The old guard leadership of the GOP still wants to this.

The size of government has exploaded since Democrats took over Congress.. And the cost of the wars, small in comparison to the "deficits we're facing", which you dont seem anywhere near as upset about...

Why?

Why?

You know my positions on the deficits. You like others set yourself on cruise control and reply with your script to anything you don't like to read.

Just because someone is willing to acknowledge the failures of both parties does not default to a support of one or the other.

Deficit spending is bad and it isn't bad simply because the Dem's have increased it. I have no reason to believe that it wouldn't have increased under McCain or Romney either.
