The question for all you libs is, how do 2 wrongs make a right? Yeah Bush was a big spender. How does Obama spending even MORE in a recession any better? It's time to get serious about cutting spending.
We have had 17 years of it now.
At least Clinton cut spending, except the wrong place, our military.
The government is not sustainable. Somethings got to shrink, or they better crap some cash, or it is going to way worse than the tyranny of the 1930's.
Look, its another poster who needs educated on the facts that CLINTON, did not cut spending, other than the fact that he used a line item veto which was ruled illegal by the Supreme Court..
Presidents dont increase, or decrease spending... CONGRESS DOES...
[quote=Rhett_Butler;12709480]If you, along with everyone else in the country, agree that the two biggest financial crises are Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid, then yes....
Spend money to fix the problems with each and prevent the projected MASSIVE shortfalls in both programs that are coming down the pike...
On a side note:
I wonder why you can see the surface fallacy here, but yet when Republicans talk about getting out of debt and thier first answer is TAX CUTS FOR EVERYONE!!!! I wonder why I dont see from you???
Umm ya.....exactly, Tax cuts for everyone...well for people who actually PAY taxes!
What school of economics have you gone too?
I mean what dont you get ....Obamanomics will ruin this country,plain and simple.
The more money in peoples pockets..the fast we get out of this mess.
Does this mean that conservatives are now unpatriotic troop-haters?? Sure sounds like it.
No, actually that's what RINOs call conservatives.
Now that the Dems realize they can garner some more Indy votes by pounding the war drums, why NOT do it? After all, even if you p*ss off the pro-peace liberals, who else are those poor *******s going to vote for?
CONGRESSMAN RYAN: I would simply say that automatic stabilizer spending is mandatory spending. The discretionary spending, the bills that Congress signs that you sign into law, that has increased 84 percent.

Obama budget: Record spending, record deficit
Quote:
WASHINGTON – Spelling out painful priorities, President Barack Obama urged Congress on Monday to quickly approve a huge new shot of spending for recession relief and job creation, part of a record $3.8 trillion budget that would boost the deficit beyond any in the nation's history while only slowly beginning to put Americans back to work.
If Congress goes along with Obama's election-year plan, the nation would still end the year with unemployment pushing double digits at 9.8 percent and this year's pool of government red ink deepening to $1.56 trillion — by the administration's accounting.
"Government needs to take from you and spend it in order to help you little people"
response..
He or she does seem despirited...sad really. I like the old Saganista better.
"The world and the nation are tired of Republicans, period. They haven't done anything right in eight years, and the six before that weren't anything to crow about either. You can take it back to the day the Republican Party, desperate for votes, decided to sell out to a bunch of religious extremists. The Party hasn't been worth a plug nickel ever since. Lousy domestic policy. Lousy foreign policy. Lousy economic policy. Lousy social policy. Lousy every policy. What has there actually been to like about these people? Off the top of my head, I can't think of a single thing..."
Look at the bright side. The Democrats will soon be out of power and you can go back to blaming Republicans for all that ails the world.
