You watch LSDNBC but most of us just don't. Kind of like you don't watch Fox but you do get all you knowledge about them from others, especially Media Matters. Of course, you don't believe that MM was created by George Soros specifically to help destroy Fox News in any way necessary.

Did you hear Representative Huelskamp say those words? I guess I missed that part of the Sharpton beat down.

It is hard to believe but when that first one talked about Huelskamp shifting around and deflecting when is was Sharpton doing that it is easy to see why she thinks like that.

Maybe they got what they had coming for hiring someone like Al.


‪Huelskamp and Sharpton Go Head-to-Head on the Debt & Spending‬‏ - YouTube

I don't agree that Obama is soley is responsible for our current economic woes.

I do agree that he is trying to bypass accountability and continue business as usual in a climate that cannot sustain business as usual.

I like this congressman, doesn't get too ruffled and stays pretty much on point, although as stated above, it sounded like he was trying to lay full blame at Obama's feet.

Mmmmmm really which ultra right wing goon was the hustler pushing Tawana Brawley? After that stunt you would think Rev. Al would sit in the corner and shut up. The guy has no shame.

By the way nice to see you are up on the latest news.

Daily Kos: Sharpton to replace Cenk on MSNBC?

"Now TVNewser hears Uygur may be moved out of the 6pm hour, possibly to be replaced by Al Sharpton. When the host changes happened earlier this year, the 6pm hour was simply known as “MSNBC Live,” a telling sign that MSNBC was trying out Uygur.
Sharpton has hosted the 6pm show for the last two weeks. This past week, the hour was second, to Fox News, in A25-54 viewers Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday."

Ah, not quite. If you have spending problem don't beg the bank to raise your credit card limit, you get your spending under control. It is a concept foreign to Washington but well known in homes across America.

I got it now, when you max out your card, tell the bank you will cut down spending for a while, then you may eventually, perhaps a decade or so from now, have enough to pay for that washing machine you bought last month. They will say, ahh, that's OK. Yep, Brilliant!

Nope, you pay your debts, and don't accrue more debt and cut your spending. Is that helpful for you?

You certainly don't continue spending with no idea how you are going to pay for it.

As opposed to borrowing more money, going further indebt complicating the original problem.
Or you can cut the waste out of your lifestyle, and if that isn't enough then look for a second job until you can get your finances under control.
The DC method. Spend more borrow more and hope to god that someone else gets the blame.
What I hear to often. Its only a few million its only a drop in the bucket. Add those drops and you get a full bucket. Especially when your borrowing the money to begin with.
