If they Republicans favor cutting corporate taxes then why the hell didn't they cut them when they had control of every branch of the government?
The democrats in the senate blocked all efforts. You can do that when the majority doesn't have 60 - which was true when the GOP/dems traded the majority in the 90's.
Except for now, the dems do have 60....but still.....
You loan me money, I invest your money and make a profit.. I'm entitled to be paid.. If you dont think I should be paid then why would you loan me money to begin with?
btw, lets not even discuss that the "$1.6B" is CHEAP compared to the capital invested. I wont invest money for others unless I get 20% of the profits..
"We interupt your tv show to bring you some reality"...
You mean Democrats objecting to ideas that REPUBLICANS have been saying ALL YEAR?
You mean the partisanship that keeps Democrats from analizing these very ideas. We finally agree...
You must have missed all the taxcuts I listed on the following response, all of which helped keep unemployment under 5%..
Remind me again who just raised taxes on "the wealthy"..
I now return you to your regularly scheduled MSNBC..
Taxes were raised? Can you provide the link showing the bill that was passed that did so? You think unemployment went up because of Obama? First off the unemployment rate was going up due things that happened before Obama was even elected. Secondly, are you a socialist I ask since you seem think the government is supposed to run the economy, create jobs and solve all our problems, especially in the private sector.

OK wait a second...In one breath you hypocrites cry about government interference with our lives; marching in the street and stapling teabags to your head over "big" government. In the next breath you want government to solve your problems.
Care to make up your minds for once?
So you want to compare giving tax cuts to citizens as interference in our lives?
How does giving us a real tax cut , Give business a real tax cut interfer in our lives?
Interfering is creating bigger gov and more gov programs letting me keep my hard earned money is the right thing to do.
Oh yeah and cut spending in dc. Heck he could save us a lot of money simply by using web cast and not flying around the country so much
TARP was tremendously profitable for THEM, because it gave them very cheap investment capital.
Hell, loan me TARP funds and it would also work for me, or my 80 year old neighbor who hasnt a clue how to invest. Cheap capital = profits, it doesnt mean jobs..
Non Sequitur....
I'm not talking about jobs. I'm talking about two companies reporting profit after receiving TARP and you defending their profits. It all seems, oh I dunno...severely hypocritical. In other words, same ole same ole.
More Democrats excuse for failures OBVIOUSLY.. Since Republicans can jump off chairs and shout and scream all they want but they cant stop Dems from passing their bills.
You can lie, cheat, ignore, or just pretend but the facts are very clear..

Because they didnt do what we were told they would do, and we said that all along.

Your claim was that Obama should get back to work to deal with unemployment. Which goes against your day-in-day-out "less government" mantra repeated ad nauseum around these parts. Change the subject to avoid my point, but you're still a hypocrite. You come online and whine against big government one day, then whine the next day because government isn't doing enough. You think people don't see this?

This whole thread is about jobs, and if you want to talk about TARP, what would the unemployment numbers be like if these companies all shut down.
They were loaned CHEAP capital until they could turn themself around, its a fact. Now they are profiting. I thought you guys all thought Obama buying into these companies were good due to "profits to the taxpayers", now you guys are changing your stance. make up your minds will you?
