...middle class and poor, why do they continue to support them? I just don't understand it. Why do republicans continue to be elected?

Trickle down economics has proven to be smoke screen. Bush's tax cuts pitifully created 4.6 jobs per million dollar cut. That's it. In Obama's first 4 years, twice as many jobs were created than in all of Bush's 8. According to the CBO, Obama's stimulus alone created over 2 million jobs that still exist to this day.

Obama’s Numbers, October Update

Here is a non partisan thorough look at what the stimulus accomplished which is staggering. It literally saved the country from another depression.

Was the Obama Stimulus a Success or a Failure? - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly

Here is WHY Obama's stimulus worked:

Extended Federal Unemployment Benefits and the Economy

I just don't understand what republicans have to show for. Obama's tax cut for the middle class was the biggest since Reagan. Seriously what has any republican president since Reagan done that has benefitted the country as a whole?

It seems as though all the average joe republicans want to hear are flowery speeches about freedom and warm apple pie. They don't want to hear the truth which is that republicans have nothing to offer.

Bush's tax cuts pitifully created 4.6 jobs per million dollar cut.

Are you saying Americans got to keep millions more of their own earnings AND jobs were created?

That's awesome!!! Let's do that some more!!!

Umm those millions saved were primarily the rich's money. Also, those cuts greatly contributed to our national debt.

No..Too much discretionary spending and an unwillingness to curb increases in non-discretionary spending caused the increases in debt and deficit.

US Debt by President

Read it. Bush's tax cuts have greatly increased the national debt.

Yes, Bush was a big spender. Obama is worse.

Obama and Bush have spent at the same rate.

Spent at the same rate? What does that even mean? Show me proof.

I have to say it's a little obnoxious you haven't provided any sources of your own yet demand so many from me.

There was no spending growth under Obama. He was spending just as much as bush was when he left office.


o

yet demand so many from me.

You make silly claims with no proof. Of course I'll demand a source.

There was no spending growth under Obama.

STFU! Hilarious!

Are you done yet?

Keep making ridiculous claims, I'll keep mocking them.

 

[francoHFW]

How the hell would you know, listening to total bs propaganda all day?

 

[Missouri_Mike]

As usual the USMB rightwing response is completely devoid of relevance and substance.

It's math you moron. You can't just ignore expenses and claim you have a surplus. That is both relevance and substance as well as mathematical theory and reality.

I never claimed we had a surplus. Try and keep up.

You said exactly that when you replied to the village idiot's post. If only us simpletons could understand not counting UE as an expense would cut down what we actually owe. You replied, you're both morons.

Huh?

A little lost in your own reply's? Or on the net trying to learn math and buying time?

 

[Missouri_Mike]

At least you'll always have stupid insults, hater dupe. LOL. Thanks for wrecking the nonrich and the country, 9/11, the stupidest wars ever, a world depression, 5 years of mindless bs, and not even knowing it. Brainwashed functional moron.

You know I find your posts entertaining, they rarely have substance but when the do they are cringe worthy of the ignorance that must be involved in producing them. You have perfected stupid as an art form and for that I give you congrats. And you have followers which actually concerns me. Nothing is more dangerous than an idiot with a following. And you claim to be a teacher, even more disturbing when I think you may be teaching math yet don't understand a liability on the books can't just be ignored for political expediency.

Obama is considered black by the GOP. A party that's 90% white. Worse, he's smart and a college graduate. Worst of all, he was a college professor. Three reasons Republicans hate his guts.

 

[francoHFW]

64- Nonetheless, all those things happened under Pub power and policy, and if.you don't agree, you're a brainwashed functional idiot. Only the GOP believes otherwise in the entire WORLD. People have to be quiet about it, fearing the power of violent megarich a-holes and their violent, silly loudmouth hater chumps, ugly Americans in general...see sig ...

 

[Ernie S.]

The only jobs Obama created were government jobs paid for by confiscated taxpayer funds. Now we have double the useless government drones than we had during the Bush administration. The median income for a typical middle class family dropped 7% since Obama took office.

No 2 million private jobs were created. The proof is in the links. Try reading them.

2 million??? Do you realize that we need 2.5 to 3 million new jobs/year just to keep pace with new people entering the work force?
Over 4 million turn 18 every year, so 2 million new jobs in 5 years is pathetic.

Nothing you listed even cracks the top ten reasons to not like this guy. #1 is he's a fucking moron. His race and college degree's haven't changed that. He's an idiot. What race or education level do you think someone needs to achieve before pure fucking stupid is off the table?

All the talk is party bias. All parties are purchasesed by the highest bidder. If you want to be a politician today you have to donate to the media to get your name out there. In return, the media will share your perspective. You should know that the media are corporations.

3 of Obama's top 10 donors were ABC, NBC, and CBS. Look it up.

Citizens United, which the Right vouches for even today, sparked a complete ignorance in our nation.

The right only vouches for it because they are convinced by Fox News that the Left Wing is against profits due to the Fox News CEO and owner.

So nothing will get better until the Fox News Junkies start to learn beyond their perspective and start to study other perspectives and parties. They are all ignorant sheep at this point.........and that is a fact.

 

[Shrimpbox]

The theme of Fox News mesmerizing "sheeplike" people seems to be a common theme here, actually becomes a talking point irregardless of the op.

I watch a lot of Fox News. I also read the New Yorker magazine, a brazenly liberal only rag,and would be happy to challenge and debate anyone on any issue with the FACTS. While I am sure I am not as smart as most on here I am certainly not a sheep.

And the FACTS are that many political issues would never even get air time if it were not for Fox News. I know most heads will explode but check out Brent bozells media research center for many stories of media bias and event omission. It is definitely a conservative website but alas that does not make its stories false. It is a fact that the mainstream media has a liberal bias and an(thrill up my leg) love affair with Barack Obama.

The recurring theme of the tea party being wing nuts and Fox News being nothing but a propaganda machine seem to be more of a strategy on USMB than a reality, say it often enough and people will believe it is true. The truth is that the people who want to fundamentally change America are the real sheep and the actual wing nuts.

 

[boedicca]

All one needs to do is to look at the Reagan-Volcker policies which tamed double digit inflation and then ignited a significant economic growth cycle which produced good full time jobs at a much higher rate than the Progressive Reductio Ad Absurdum of Obamanomics...and one can see that limited government is much more effective than Golfing Nanny Statism.

Jan/2009: 2,786,000

Not only do we not have "double" the number of government employees, as you bizarrely claimed ... Obama has either decreased, or increased them less than Bush, depending on which metric you use.

That's old information. Through July of this year, there have been 5.7 million private sector jobs added under Obama. 9.9 million added since the job market turned around following the Great Recession.

Compare that with Bush who saw an increase 3.5 million up until the Great Recession and a decrease of 462,000 for his entire presidency.

Bush is only the second president on record to leave office with fewer people working in the private sector than when he was sworn in. The only other being Herbert Hoover.

G'head, righties .... this is where you whine about Obama.

[Harry Dresden]

Republicans are getting elected less and less because their tired two-tier plank that hasn't changed in a generation,

1) deregulate [let polluters run wild & workplace violations go unchecked]

2) shower tax cuts on the already wealthy whilst redistributing taxpayer-wealth to defense contractors for their ill thought-out foreign adventures

I know, just awful!
Don't forget, resisting Obama.
That'll probably win back the Senate.

but that is impossible.....Dottie just said they are getting elected less and less....are you saying dottie is full of shit?....

Thanks for the hilarious link. She cracks me up!

And yet you can't explain why she is wrong.

Sure I can, if I can stop laughing long enough.
How many errors should I point out?

As many as you can handle. Quit stalling.

Here's the best one:

Reductions in the tax rate actually hurts the economy. That's because every dollar in lost tax revenue only creates 59 cents in economic growth.

Creating growth of 59 cents while saving taxpayers $1 hurts the economy? ROFLMAO!!!
Of course for a socialist, more freedom, less money in the hands of the government and more money in the hands of the people is a bad think. So I can understand why she is against it.

You realize of course that every dollar lost in revenue is one more dollar we are in debt right?

You realize we should cut government spending, to eliminate that debt, right?

I do actually. However we also must increase revenue. Right now we are at 16% of the GDP. That is near the historic low.

You want to increase revenues? Eliminate idiotic regulations and the useless government agencies that write them. Start with Obamacare. Eliminate the Department of Energy. Eliminate the Department of Education.
Get rid of 85% of the EPA. Cut the corporate tax rate to 20% and eliminate stupid corporate welfare and green energy giveaways.
Revenues would sky rocket!

Eliminate the Department of Education.

oh oh.....if Dean see's that he will say you hate education and want to end it.....

 

[Harry Dresden]

If you don't count UE and welfare for victims of the corrupt Booosh World Depression (still about 400 billion/year), spending has gone down under Obama.

Why would Dems vote for an unpopular stimulus (at least they would leave themselves open for tidal waves of Pubcrappe) when Pubs were going to block it? Dems are just well meaning pussies, but at least they're not bought off lying a-holes screwing and leading astray the ignorant, loudmouth hater dupes...

Without TOTAL Pub obstruction and phony crises, we could have been out of this economic mess 3 years ago...

Frankie thats if what Obama and Co wanted to do worked......if it did not....would you be saying so?.....or would you still be his no.1 cheerleader?...
