first, best, biggest!

wonder if the POTUS will laugh it off again?

The Blame the Republicans presser starts at 10:35 EST...

It's been 249 days since the Republicans took over the House vowing to create jobs. Where are the jobs?

(I think it's 249)

You want jobs? Get Abdul Mustafa off of the following topics

1. Tax the Rich
2. Obama(couldn't)Care(less)

It is more than just "Tax the Rich". The bigger threat is "Tax the Corporations!"

Everyone knows that ultimately the solution to our budget deficits, the national debt, preserving government size, and our precarious credit rating is to tax everyone and that leads to an overall slowdown in personal and corporate spending.

Reduce personal and corporate spending.........reduce jobs.

When you remove the loopholes, profits will be reduced, prices will be raised, or business will move offshore. If profits are reduced, stock prices are hit and that hurts 401Ks and pension funds.

When we go after the corporations, the law of unintended consequences comes into play.

You left out the part about how it stimulated the economy and created jobs....then went boom. Boom happens.

Because it didn't happen. Average annual increase W's first term 0.0, second +0.1

As a comparison under Clinton, where taxes were actually raised, first term +2.6 second +2.3

Funny too, the highest since I've been alive has been Johnson +3.9 and Carter +3.2, then Clinton. Strange, huh?

Deviation of talking points results in loosing your card.

But according to the Dems this economy has to do with the prior administration's policies not this one. So that means that the Republican Presidents set the table for Carter and Clinton right? And that Clinton set the table for W?

In absolute numbers job creation sucked during the Bush years in the USA but unemployment was quite reasonable. Jobs were created, the economy was stimulated, and we emerged from a burst bubble and inflated another bubble....which then burst.

Obama inherited a much worse situation than Clinton or Bush inherited. His mistake was he overpromised and underdelivered and the only part of the economy he helped was the government sector. Obama inflated a government bubble. It is showing signs of bursting.

Corporations and small business cut to the bone and got lean and they have no reason to not stay lean. My point has always been if you go after them and their profits to further inflate the government bubble, don't expect them to not continue to run lean or even get leaner.

Cutting taxes is a non-starter issue.



...and what is up with the partisan hack comment? Don't go into whiny bitch mode.

You just played the government sector = teachers and cops card that you complained about on another thread.

Without the illegals, prisoners and the dead who would vote for the demoCrats?

Illegal immigrants get free health care?

So tell me then, who does? Boehner? Cantor? Romney or Bachmann? Surely the same policies the country has used for decades, since Reagan, aren't working.

Review Obama's Health Care Bill...

At age 76 when you most need it, you are not eligible for cancer treatment

What Nancy Pelosi didn't want us to know until after the healthcare bill was passed. Remember she said, "pass it and then read it!!." Here it is!

THE CARE BILL HB 3200


JUDGE KITHIL IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL.

Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, TX - highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200

Please read this........ especially the reference to pages 58 & 59

JUDGE KITHIL wrote:

** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.

** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.

** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).

** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)

** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees..

** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age.

** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.

** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counseling..)

** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.

HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on to identify:

"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick 'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future."

~ Honorable David Kithil of Marble Falls, Texas

The person who should know how to get economy going is the person who applied for the job, said he knew how, and accepted the job.

1. Overpromise
2. Underdeliver
3. Inflate the government sector bubble
4. Rapidly increase the national debt
D. Declare the rich to be the enemy and undertaxed
6. Declare business to be the enemy and undertaxed
7. Latch onto anything "green"

Sit back and wait for corporations and small business to hire and act surprised when they don't.

It definitely isn't the same old approach.

I have to pay 7.65% in employer's share of FICA, 1.2% for NJ UI/DIS, and another 15% for government mandated Worker's Comp Insurance. Add health insurance and other benefits and it costs me well over $30 an hour to pay an employee $20, which if he's lucky, he gets to take home $15 of. Out of that $15 he has to pay 7% Sales Tax on his purchases, and if he's blessed enough to own a home in this state, another $5,000 to $8,000 a year in property taxes.

Yes, business and employees are all under taxed. And the powers that be can't understand why "greedy" businesses aren't hiring.

multiply that by some of these huge corporations and MILLIONS of employees... all that adds up pretty quick.

I love Reagan. But I do remember defiending him because the deficit had gotten huge (for that time). I guess things have changed.

Oh, LMAO, you fell for one of those spam email lies!!!!

You gullible moron. Don't you ever look at things to see it they are true?

SEC. 152. PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION IN HEALTH CARE.

(a) In General- Except as otherwise explicitly permitted by this Act and by subsequent regulations consistent with this Act, all health care and related services (including insurance coverage and public health activities) covered by this Act shall be provided without regard to personal characteristics extraneous to the provision of high quality health care or related services.

(b) Implementation- To implement the requirement set forth in subsection (a), the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall, not later than 18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, promulgate such regulations as are necessary or appropriate to insure that all health care and related services (including insurance coverage and public health activities) covered by this Act are provided (whether directly or through contractual, licensing, or other arrangements) without regard to personal characteristics extraneous to the provision of high quality health care or related services.

And here is the real pertinant section to what you are complaining about:

SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS.

Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.

Holy crap.

All hail King Ronnie – Who did no wrong – Who slayed the Beast of Recreational Drugs – Who sped up the highways to 55 – ALL HAIL!

gullible... maybe!!! But I certainly believe it seeing free health-care, food, homes, and more given away free everyday to illegal immigrants, and others that have no desire to work other than putting their hand-out for more.

It may not be written... but it certainly is happening right now!!!

So... phfffft!!!

The State of California government YES!
