Anyone who thinks Obama cut taxes more than Reagan is just being foolish..
Or it's possible that they simply did the math. Per the JCT, the value of the first year of Reagan's 1981 tax cut stated in constant 2003 dollars was $68.7 billion. The value of the first half of Obama's two-year tax cuts stated in constant 2003 dollars was $123.5 billion.
For the 3rd time "English" isnt capitalized unless its at the beginning of a sentence. Farbeit for me to correct others grammer or keying, but when you run around playing spelling grammer cop, you should receive a ticket.. Have you figured out how to capitalize english yet?
And you were entirely wrong all three times. English is always capitalized when it is used to refer to the language. Just as French, German, or Swahili would always be capilaized when used in the same sense. It is also capitalized when used to refer to anything else that is itself derived from England, such as English culture, or English literature, or English troops. You could, however, put some english on the cue ball if you wanted it to react in a particular way upon striking an object ball.
By the way, the unb@st@rdized version of "Farbeit for me" would be "Far be it from me".
"Will Bunch reminds his readers that as California's governor, Reagan signed the largest tax hike in the state's history ($1 billion in a $6 billion budget) as well as approving a bill legalizing abortions. In an article in the conservative National Review (10/29/03) Bruce Bartlett, one of Reagan's economic advisors, states that the 1982 Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act [was] the largest peacetime tax increase in American history." Bartlett goes on to list tax increases for every year from 1982-1987. Economist Paul Krugman sums it up succinctly: "No peacetime president has raised taxes so much on so many people."
You claim that presidents faced with a hostile Congress have no influence, their poor hands are tied.... So I guess that means -- for example -- that Clinton's off the hook in Rightieland for the housing crisis? About time.
These two things are completely unrelated, but....anyway you claim that presidents faced with a hostile Congress have no influence, their poor hands are tied.... So I guess that means -- for example -- Clinton's off the hook for the housing crisis in Rightieland?
I did not say "presidents faced with a hostile Congress have no influence", you did.
When presidents are in office and the other party controls the congress, senate, or both, they have to get along, up to a point, or nothing gets done. So they end up signing some things they would rather not have to. Reagan, Clinton and Bush all had to sign things they normally would not have wanted to, they do their best to work with the congress and senate. But this gives people plenty of ammo so they want to play the partisan "gotcha" game all day.
0bama's political party does have control over the legislature and executive branch, and did have a super majority; when was the last time we have seen that in politics? so 0bama is getting everything he wants, including his trillion dollars in new taxes and a very large contribution to our national debt
BTW, is this how you get people to discuss things, by being rude and condescending? People are not as fond of snarky and rude as you may think.
So your only answer is that it's "a lie" with no proof..I guess you're following Joe Wilson's ignorant lead.
So your evidence that a "black man" was spit on, was you show a video showing that the "black man" walked up to a mans mouth who was shouting and screaming.. FAIL!!
Reagan had to contend with a hostile democrat controlled senate and congress, he can only sign what is sent to him.
97th Congress (81-83): Senate: R ... House: D
98th Congress (83-85): Senate: R ... House: D
99th Congress (85-87): Senate: R ... House: D
100th Congress: (87-89) Senate: D ... House: D
And of the eight budgets that Reagan wrote, how many times did that hostile democrat controlled senate and congress of yours enact appropriations that exceeded Reagan's requests?
So, in one thread, deficits are awful, and in the next, deficit reduction is awful. There's some consistency for you. By the way, what percenatge of those taxes will be levied against non-wealthy individuals?
Or it's possible that they simply did the math. Per the JCT, the value of the first year of Reagan's 1981 tax cut stated in constant 2003 dollars was $68.7 billion. The value of the first half of Obama's two-year tax cuts stated in constant 2003 dollars was $123.5 billion.
Or its more likely that one ignored the fact that the taxable rate cut by Reagan was more than 50%, while Obama, a few percentage points. Or its even more likely that liberals and Democrats are outright LYING about tax cuts because Obama created $600B in NEW taxes... Obama cut $300B in taxes, and Raised $600B more. THATS NOT A CUT.. Its a 100% increase.. What NEW taxes did Reagan create and what was the total?
STOP LYING, you are making a fool of yourself...

The discussion isnt if Obama is taking part in deficit reduction, the discussion is HOW MUCH TAXES WERE CUT... ZERO.. He simply changed how taxes are being collected, he's not CUTTING them..
