LMAO - Your Budget will not and has not worked for the last 8 years! It goes with your only ignorant ideologies going back 28 years that has not worked, proof is in the pudin. You lost in November, people voted for change, and that's what I understand along Obama and others...
see what i mean? you automatically presumed i am a staunch republican. could i possibly have been more clear, seriously, that BOTH parties are filled with dimwits pushing their own agenda to no end and working against each other and as long as that happens WE ALL lose.
i'm neither republican nor democrat, they are all idiots as far as i am concerned as well as those who support either side with tunnel vision. thank you very little.
Wishful thinking. We Dems will get what we want and there has been talk of using the "Nuclear Option"...
Actually, you'll only get what the Chinese will allow you to have and not a penny more, and it doesn't look like it's going to be much more. Enjoy what's left!
So you're OK with him spending as much in one year as all the presidents did in the last 50 years combined? Just want to make sure we're clear on that.
If I bothered to search, would I find you complaining in these forums about how much Bush was spending, or were you OK with his spending, too?
Nope...I was baffled that the party of the Balanced Budget Amendment suddenly lost all interest in it after Bush. Obama added the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in his budget, unlike Bush. And that's how many trillion a month? If you bothered to look, you'd see that I only became a member in 2009...so no, you wouldn't find any posts from me complaining about the Bush Spend-a-Thon.
Just when you think the fools who created this mess over the past 8 years should thank and help the new guy in charge, they come right back with the same-old same-old screaming at the clouds that their policy for the country will work. Does BOehNER and McConnell et al. have two brain cells that rub together?

Yes you might be right after Bush tapped out the Chinese Credit Card...

Oh your one of those who collects a lot of splinters eh?
Don't go blaming Dukester and shooting the messenger! Start writing to GOP representatives and the RNC; tell them to stop the partisan obstructionism.
Is it the fact that news travels so fast these days that ancient concepts suddenly become 'partisan obstructionism'? Why is it that political ploys dating back more than 2000 years are some how brand new, run of the mill tactics?
The Democrats could easily get anything they want to done at this point, if they were all behind it 100%. However, they are not, with some even falling in behind Republicans, therefore it is politics as usual + internet sensationalism.
Obstructionism is not a bad thing. The idea behind a fully functioning democracy is that we do not agree 100%, else something is wrong. Bad things happen when no one is there to obstruct, often in the form of runaway governments or radicals seizing power. Alternatively, I suppose the Democrats could begin a second Kristallnacht, in order to remove the insubordinate Republicans.

It 'twas Obama (through Clinton) who begged the Chinese to fund our stimulus package, and the $500+ billion in spending that followed. They will also fund the upcoming second stimulus bill, and probably the next auto bailouts.

I was referring to the Chinese funding the Iraq War via Bush and his Administration.
