[Last1Out]

The Republican agenda for dealing with the economy and deficits has been sitting in Harry Reid's desk for three years now.

Which is? Lets spell it out.

Cut taxes, and expect the economy to grow so it replenishes the lost revenue. Increase defense spending. Lowering subsidy for energy supplies they don't support instead of letting the free market decide while keeping them for companies they like and back them financially, defunding Obamacare.

Yeah, thats going to make it to the President and he'll sign it, surrrrree.

No, because I noticed that this was a midterm election. Educational tip for you: you cannot enact an agenda as party X when the president is of party Y

Democrats were attacked for cutting Medicare and suggesting trimming SS.

Now, now. Be honest. They were attacked for cutting medicare and using that money to fund Obamacare, then counting the medicare cuts as spending reductions while simultaneously counting that money as reducing the cost of Obamacare.

The Republican base is hooked on so many government programs its hard to count them.. Well lets start SS, Medicare, Tricare, VA-health, VA-disabilities, SS-disablities, defense spending, government pensions, and the list goes on.

Do you ever make a post without some reference to Republicans being on social security benefits? Your obsession with it borders on the unhealthy.

The party of responsiblity with regards to deficits appears to be Democrats with the cuts to Medicare and the proposal for a chained cost of living for SS .

It only appears that way because you're a partisan liberal sheeple. For rational people, they see that the cuts to Medicare are only a means to fund Obamacare, and not really cuts at all.

The only suggestion for saving money from Republicans comes from getting rid of Obummercare and cancelling everyones insurance. Oh yeah lets get rid of the Department of Energy and let GE take care of our nuclear weapons that should save some money.

Cancelling everyone's insurance? See, there's you being an irrational partisan spreading false rhetoric and misinformation again. Do you even care that your opinions don't even bear a passing resemblance to reality? Is it at all important to you to base your opinions on a grasp of the facts?
