The Repugs are destroying this country. I know you people think it's fun to blame the Dems, but who wants to extend tax cuts and then add it to the deficit? then the want to deny aid to the states among other silly stances against the states and hard working people. No jobs bill, denial to the states money, repeal amendments....please.
Any mainstrean human can see past their bull**** to know what their end game is, an oligarchy and the subjagation of the middle class....and I guess there are plenty of fools who support them.
Your complete failure to see the hypocrisy in Boehner's stances on these issues and how his priorities contradict each other is sad. Your analogy made no sense because you did not give an analogy that was even remotely related to what I pointed out as Boehner's hypocrsiy. He says that we cannot afford keeping the retirement age as it stands now, but he cannot come up with an answer as to how the tax cuts will be paid for. He is talking out of both sides of his mouth with a fork tongue and no matter how you attempt to spin it, any idiot can clearly see his less than noble agenda and hypocrisy.
Its not hypocritical to keep the discussions seperate, the budgets are seperate. Its like comparing your bank account to another posters and then trying to equate a lifestyle.. it doenst work.. Tax cuts affect ONE budget, SS is A DIFFERENT one.. They are NOT related.

Also... Boehner supports privatizing Social Security. Boehner said he’d push to privatize Social Security if he was in charge. “If I’m around in a leadership role come January, we’re going to get serious about it.â€
Sic, seriously lets walk thru this.
Bush Tax Cuts relate to INCOME TAX RATES.
Social Security is not connected AT ALL to Income Tax Rates.
If we raise Income Tax Rates to 100% for every American and do nothing to the SS tax rate, then SS will still be insolvent.
Thus my analogy. Driving Honda’s has nothing to do with Chinese food. SS solvency has nothing to do with Income Tax Rates.
Back to Boehner. If Boehner were for expiring the BTC (bush tax cuts), we would still have to deal with exactly the same issue in Social Security. There is NO connection between the two.
And I am for privatizing SS. So I am very happy Boehner is for it! Thanks for pointing that out!

huh?
and yet all the money comes from the same, place....the American people.
how many budgets does the Federal Government have? One for each program? I don't think so.

Denying "aid" to the state is not a stance against the hard workign people. You do understand that for the federal government to give aid, they have to take the money fromhard working people? The federal government should NOT be giving the states money, there is NOTHING authorizing such actions from taking place and it leads to further incompetent governing..

You have the nerve to talk about an oligarchy after you just supported the above? You deserve 3 for that one..
