OK Tea Party....Time to belly up to the bar

Government doesn't research any energy anyone wants to use.

Nuclear, coal, waste fuels, ethanol, wind, solar....

Drill baby....drill

OK Lets kill the Dept of Education now. They have 5000 employees, so they will not impact the budget much


United States Department of Education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The primary functions of the Department of Education are to formulate and administer federal funding programs involving education, such as college financial aid, collect data on US schools, and to enforce federal educational laws regarding privacy and civil rights.[3][4]

The Department's mission is: to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access.[5]

Unlike the systems of most other countries, education in the United States is highly decentralized, and the federal government and Department of Education are not heavily involved in determining curricula or educational standards (with the recent exception of the No Child Left Behind Act). This has been left to state and local school districts. The quality of educational institutions and their degrees is maintained through an informal private process known as accreditation, over which the Department of Education has no direct public jurisdictional control.

OK...now we are talking

Federal Student Loans...gone
Scholarships to needy students...gone
Minimum standards of education....gone


But we save $56 Billion, now where is the rest of the $1.5 trillion to come from?

Um, all of that stuff can and did function without the federal government.

None of that other stuff is viable for an advanced nation of 300,000,000 people.

Yeah, and they claim you won't cut. Once you tell them what you want to cut, they tell you it can't be cut.

 

[Synthaholic]

How is that? By abandoning Due Process? Rule of Law? By indebting us many times over the worst that Bush did? How about we separate the hype.

While we're at it, let's separate Bush and Obama. The items you list were started under Bush, continued under Obama.

No, I was speaking of consumer protections in credit cards / the discontinuation of 'pre-existing condition' denial / the fact that they cannot drop your coverage when you get sick / the fact that you can now stay on your parent's insurance until you are 25 / the fact that he saved the auto industry, which is now getting back to profitability - and made money for the taxpayers / the fact that TARP has been repaid - and made money for the taxpayers / the fact that 40% of the stimulus was tax-cuts / the fact that we didn't plunge into a depression /

things like that.

Like in Follow The Yellow Brick Road? Yeah, I get it, Lion's and Tigers, and Bears, Follow The Yellow Brick Road. When you learn to separate propaganda from reality let me know.

List the propaganda.

Always on their terms, the counting isn't even complete, and we are being accused of destroying the Nation. Good Imagination, if nothing else. How do you rate the Socialist Progressive Imagination, when it comes to accusing us of shit, Revere? I give them a -10 on a 0-10 scale.

Queens has been touted as a diverse borough that is home to immigrants from all over the globe, and a key component of New York City's melting pot.


But the sheer number of cultures represented by its 2.2 million residents truly sets the borough apart from the rest of the city and beyond, according to new figures released last week.

"Queens is probably one of the most diverse places on Earth," said Joseph Salvo, a well-known demographer with the city Planning Department. "There are 1 million immigrants and a mix that is perhaps unprecedented in this borough's history."

Salvo described recent borough population trends for a group of Queens officials last week with the help of a dizzying array of charts and graphs.

The foreign-born population of Queens increased 6.3% between 2000 and 2006, he said.

That population is almost equally divided among a number of Asian and Hispanic groups hailing from countries including China, Guyana, Ecuador, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, India and Korea.

China tops the list, accounting for 11% of Queens' foreign-born population. That includes people from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

A look at race and origin also underscores the unique complexion of Queens, Salvo said.

So do you have a point with this and what does it have to do with the discussion about illegals?

 

[rightwinger]

Some of it gets paid.

That's what I call a soft landing, compared to, say Greece.

Well what is it? You say you are going to cut spending, but can't identify what you will cut. Intense here even starts spending more.

What spending will you cut to balance the budget and pay for Bush tax cuts?

Oh, No I don't. You are a slippery rascal now aren't you. Move some of those Military Bases in high real estate areas to where they are needed. Sell that Property. Seems anytime someone does anything you don't like the sky falls in on us. Why's that? Mean while those Government raises just keep on going and going and growing, Self Importance Syndrome. How much to cross the GWB or the Tappan Zee? More, More, more, and not even a post card when you go on vacation. .

So, how many hours should a Federal Employee work a week on average? How many month's vacation is fair?

BRAC has already happened and we are shutting down excess bases at home and abroad. We are looking to cut down our military bases not spend more money on new ones.

Tappan Zee is falling apart by the way, it will cost billions to rebuild it. More Govt spending.

Federal employees work 40 hour weeks just like most workers. Vacation is between 2 1/2 and 5 weeks depending on service.

There won't be a nuclear power plant online as long as there is a Democrat President or in any blue state ever.

"Yes, We Can". I believe that summed up Obama's campaign. Never did answer the 'can what?' thing... but we know now... and we just told him 'no, you can't'.

Live with it.

Too late! He's already made America better.

Let's see wingnuts take away those improvements. I dare them.

How is that? By abandoning Due Process? Rule of Law? By indebting us many times over the worst that Bush did? How about we separate the hype.

Well if you want to separate the hype then this would be the total content of your own post.

"How is that? How about we separate the hype"

So, do you even bother following your own advice?? LOL

[HUGGY]

Your campaigns were full of rhetoric and bumper sticker slogans. Now that you have actually been elected it is time to put some meat on those bones.

Its easy to say "cut spending" "eliminate waste" "end earmarks"....now you have to actually do it. What are you going to cut? What will be the impact of those cuts? What will happen if they cut the Social Security, Medicare ?

How does a Tea Party candidate get things done in Washington? It is still the same old city.

I think they are in for a rude awakening and will be the same old Washington insiders they campaigned so hard against

It's gonna be a clusterfuck. The TeaBaggers didn't come up through the ranks of the GOP and hold no alleigence to the Orange Boner. It's the third or fourth transformation of the GOP and the incumbants aren't going to like the independance of the TeaBaggers. No more lock step..no more no. I don't know for sure but I suspect there will be a lot more compromise than some might think because the new house majority isn't a majority of the kind that Bush enjoyed in his first term.

Give it a couple of weeks and we will be buying our own oil from china. Everyone else around the world is into drilling, at least where it's feasible to drill. I have no problem with responsible drilling. Government is supposed to regulate, monitor, and help insure against accidents. That does make sense. What doesn't make sense is paying for something that you you don't receive, other than in the form of illusion. Inspections that never happened, things like that.

My problem with Nuclear Power is the proximity to densely populated areas, and quality control. They need to be remote. I would support reprocessing, rather than stockpiling fuel too. I used to protest them. Location is a key factor. I love Hydro Power. It can be improved. but it still isn't enough.

 

[drsmith1072]

I 'd agree. I'd put some bases near our borders too. The answer needs to be focused on necessity, not convenience, not even livelihood, unless you want to pay my taxes and bills for me. I mean feel free.

Sorry,
Bases cost money to build. We are supposed to be cutting spending

Border Integrity is a Responsibility, of the Federal Government, National Security takes priority to your or my feelings. Border Security is a Fail for how long now?

Really?? Does it say that "Border Integrity is a Responsibility" in the consititution and if so where??

Yep, there will be more of that too. China bas a big base to support, and State enterprise, is adapting allot of the principles we are abandoning, only for them, It's State Capitalism.
