Liberals Think We're Jerks For Wanting To Control Spending

[mudwhistle]

What's with the ass advert?????

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

It really depends on what it is. If it benefits America = leave it alone.

Infrastructure, science and investment into r&d = benefiting America.

It is a insane idea to cut those.

Why not raise taxes on the rich a little and cut welfare, waste and foreign aid?

Their goal is to destroy Social security destroy any protection for labor so that exploitation of the 99 percent by the one percent can accelerate...its why Conservatives are nasty...

Blah blah blah. Standard class envy boilerplate nonsense.

Denial denial; denial...every one knows the GOP represents the interests of the 1 percent....

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Denial denial; denial...every one knows the GOP represents the interests of the 1 percent....

Yet after 5 years of Obama and 2 years of a Democrat super-majority in the Senate...
The wealthiest in the country have never done better Period.
The top 7% income earners in America have lavished in an unprecedented 33% income increase since 2009, but the remaining WORKING 93% of Americans have suffered a 5% decline in earnings.
The part-time to full-time ratio is an abomination.
The minority races in America, beside Asian, are doing worse now than before Obama on virtually every measure.
We have record food stamp disbursements.
The investment class? Oh-My-God...they are on fire. They are making money hands over fist.
Obamacare - a blank check to the insurance companies. They are the true winners of this plan.
And finally - the earnings gap between the wealthiest and everyone else - yep - breaking records. The gap is accelerating.

Idiot. But no doubt, you will continue to spout off your ignorant rhetorical garbage nonetheless.

Clearly, if you want to control spending, you'll not vote for Republicans. The numbers don't lie.

 

[candycorn]

Provide a link to the Republicans in the last election who ran on cutting defense.

that makes no sense at all. Why would anyone in their right mind cut defense with all of the new threats we have today.

ISIS taking Northern Iraq
Russian aggression
Chinese expansion
Al Qaeda is growing again
Talliban is growing

ISIS is nowhere near the supposed threat that Iraq was.
Russian Aggression in 2015 is a tenth what it was in 1980
Chinese Expansion is about the same as it always was
Al Queda is decimated as is the Taliban. It's growth is of little concern.

Lies, all lies.

But thank you for posting without any insults. Very commendable.

.

You have no credibility if you think the following

So...you think Russia today is stronger than the USSR was?
You think this ISIS bunch is more dangerous than the Republican guard?
China is our #1 trading partner....it would be suicide for them to jeopardize that favorable relationship. You think they are a threat to attack us?

Russia is still a threat. I won't argue which was more of a threat.

There is no argument. The USSR was much more of a threat than Russia ever will be. Anyone with two working brain cells who isn't inflicted with your brand of idiocy can see that.

China is a military threat and an economic threat. Greater than in the past.

And the last country they would attack is one that owes them money....warring nations tend not to pay as well as friendly ones.

And ISIS is a threat not only to us but Muslims. They are a rabid dog. If they get a nuke they are a worse threat than Saddam,....and you can thank your Messiah for that

Jesus Christ? I usually don't attribute Christs will into geopolitics and tend to think that bad people do bad things unless a good President like Obama isolates, neutralizes and kills them...i.e. like he did with your hero Osama Bin Laden. Oh yeah, you don't think OBL is dead..or have you come around on that?

And here are some Q tips so you can clean the sand out of your ears.
Look, go do whatever it is your do with yourself until such time as some cause which upsets your radical feminism is aroused.

Correcting right wing lies would be a full time job if they were not so easy to correct.

Only in your twisted little mind.

Seriously, if you guys were not so blatant about your hate-induced lying about Obama, it take 0.2 seconds of research to see how full of shit you are on a daily basis. Instead, it's automatically apparent whenever you post that you have zero interest in being truthful.

You heard it from equally brainless partisan hacks as Tyrone Sloth.
Obama is complicated. On one hand he indeed has returned social welfare back to what it was before welfare reform fixed the problems.
But as a corporatist he has fantastically pushed the corporate-elite wealthy agenda. They are doing very-very-very well. Too bad the remaining 99% of us are sucking on it. Obama represents the interest of the 1% far more than the 99.
That is just a fact. Based on what has happened, not what he has said.
When he stood up there on the state of the union ans spouted of half truths about the economy as if it was the best that has ever been - he nevr once mentioned just who is benefiting from his recovery. It ain't us. My stats above say quite clearly who is.

Mention spending cuts or even controlling spending and it's like holding up a cross in front of a vampire. They react violently at times. Most of the time they claim that spending cuts will bring this country down.

On Monday, President Obama released his 2016 budget, which calls for increased spending and raising taxes, and on MSNBC’s The Cycle, so-called conservative co-host Abby Huntsman did her best to scold the GOP for opposing the tax-and-spend Obama budget. ​

Speaking to Lauren Fox of National Journal, Huntsman proclaimed that Republicans’ “big thing is we’ve got to cut spending, this is not something we’re going to approve and that’s often why they are considered the jerks here, because they aren’t talking about entitlements, they are talking about cuts.” ​

Think of it. In only a few years since Obama has become president, we've gone from clamoring for spending reform to you're a terrorist for wanting to control government spending.

Anyone with half a brain can see one of the biggest problems in government isn't that we don't have any money, it's that we spend too much. So Democrats invented a word for it to demonize the practice. Austerity. Anyone who starts talking about Austerity and recommending new investment is just pumping us for more tax increases. That's really all Democrats do. They try to think of new ways of taking our cash. Spending is now investment. Controlling spending is evil austerity. Anyone who falls for this line of bs can't be thinking. The answer to everything in Washington is always throwing more money at it, yet the problems never get solved. Obama wants to give the IRS $30 billion more to become more and more inefficient. Seems the more money he throws at a problem the worse it becomes. The IRS has massively increase their budget, hired thousands of new agents, yet if you have a question about your taxes, forget getting an answer. They warn about holding up refunds this year because they claim they need more money.

Notice how everything Obama touches turns to shit?




Remember this?

June 2013

Still mired in scandal for its mishandling of nonprofit political groups, the Internal Revenue Service is prepping for a new role: chief enforcement arm of the Affordable Care Act.

That task will require new agents — 6,700, the IRS figures — and more money — about $1 billion more than the current budget.

Confronted with the tax agency’s 9-percent increase in its 2014 budget, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., blasted Deputy IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel at a meeting of the House Committee on Ways and Means Thursday morning.

After reading off a long list of instances of waste, fraud, excess and abuse at the agency over the past several years, Ryan demanded to know how the IRS felt it had the “moral authority” to ask for more money. He actually sounded almost hurt by the request.​

Quite a bit, actually. Farms subsidies alone account for about $10 billion. The budget for the Dept. of Agriculture is $110 billion

Yes, they only care about spending when someone else has the checkbook. Lucky for them Obama came along just in time to blame for the drunken frat party of spending GWB had for his MIC friends.

You can do so, but don't expect to feel safe about crossing our bridges and you better get used to the Russians getting us into space.
