    How can you stand up for them any longer?   Even those who blindly follow, come on.   Cuts to Medicare and Social Secuirty--up to 21% by 2021, but NO cuts, or repeals to ANY tax breaks to the super wealthy or the Oil Industry, as proposed by our caring and GREAT republicans.  Great SHARED sacrifice budget.  Many corporations do not even pay taxes--ie--GE, but the middle class, the most vulnerable, pay the most taxes, and our govt, and the super rich--nobody here by the way--are phasing us out, to achieve cheap labor so they get even richer.  Thanks Rebups!!!  Wow.  If we don't do something soon, we will have another depression.

    Your right bandit.  I hope one day you get to live in a world free of republicans or for that matter anything other than liberal democrats.  Everything will be right in the world.  Just remember though in that perfect world, gone too will be the tax base of all those truly evil republicans.  But I'm sure you and the rest would gladly give that up. While your at it, don't forget to get rid of capitalism.  Who needs the ambition it breeds anyway.

    I will receive much more in social security than I put in if I can live long enough. That cut does not bother me. I for one do not expect the government to have to take care of me when I become a senior citizen.

    The wealth of the republicans, if they were to truly disappear, wouldn't disappear with them. It would simply transfer somewhere else. It's not so much republican vs democrat. It's rich and powerful vs the other 90 whatever percent of us there are.

    I would argue that we no longer have true Capitalism. The corruption of the political system has made the environment too toxic for Capitalism. Remember,  Capitalism is a good thing for everyone in the end game. This is no longer the case, hence the death or fracture of true Capitalism. When industries can regulate themselves to their singular benefit, at the expense of all other capacities of the economy, then it is clear that Capitalism is lost and no longer the proper terminology for the wretched economic system at hand.

    What we need is a form of managed capitalism with transparency & competent oversight without it squelching honest enterprise. Whether that's possible or not anymore is arguable if not unlikely -

    Typical response, you didn't even address the comments. The Repubs want YOU, because you ARE NOT an elite rich person.  And me, to pay.  They do NOT want the elite rich to pay anything.  Is that fair?  Really?  Smoke and mirrors don't work with me.  Address the comments.  WHY, are the Repubs holding up a solution to the debt crisis, by not allowing the Rich Elite to give their share?  That is all I am asking.  Sen Dayton, who is very wealthy, agrees that the rich could afford to pay their SHARE.

    Your right bandit.  I hope one day you get to live in a world free of republicans or for that matter anything other than liberal democrats.  Everything will be right in the world.  Just remember though in that perfect world, gone too will be the tax base of all those truly evil republicans.  But I'm sure you and the rest would gladly give that up. While your at it, don't forget to get rid of capitalism.  Who needs the ambition it breeds anyway.

    Typical response, you didn't even address the comments. The Repubs want YOU, because you ARE NOT an elite rich person.  And me, to pay.  They do NOT want the elite rich to pay anything.  Is that fair?  Really?  Smoke and mirrors don't work with me.  Address the comments.  WHY, are the Repubs holding up a solution to the debt crisis, by not allowing the Rich Elite to give their share?  That is all I am asking.  Sen Dayton, who is very wealthy, agrees that the rich could afford to pay their SHARE.

    Do you honestly feel the GOP is worse than the Dems.  The same Dems that passed the largest budget in history and have not passed another two years running, essentially making the crisis budget a default one.  Why do you feel the Dems are your friend?  Do you work?

    I am well aware of the big business give aways from the gop but also the dems as well as the keynsian military spending of the gop and the massive keynsian dems spending on everything else.  how is it that a nanny state for losers made by the dems helps us out any better that oil company give aways?

    Wow.  Once again, never addressing the issues.  Why are you supporting a party that will not budge on making the super elite rich pay their fair share?  But, they want to cut medicare and social security (btw, which I pay into since I have WORKED the last 30+ years, how about you?) by 20%.  Address this.  Stop trying to play the shell game and distract by attacking.  I just want you to answer my comments.  You must be in the top 1%, right?  LMAO.  NOT.

    Potter, agreed BOTH parties are cespools.  Amazing how you STILL don't address the comments I made at the beginning.  How come?  I am talking about right NOW, that the REpubs are wanting you and me to pay for the debt crisis.  Not the super elite.  Lets let them keep on NOT paying taxes and their breaks.  Just please get off your high horse and address the facts, the comments.  GD, you would make a good politician, never directly answer a hard question.

    is that like a stimulus check or a hernia check.
     a video of our current status is more an indictment of keynsian liberal stupidity than an obituary of this great country.

    in the end Denmark will be owned by another country and over run with muslims while we still sing the star spangled banner.

    looks like our liberal leader has his puppets all wound up

    lets get those evil rich people

    rather than give every family $17000, this administration has transfered more wealth to corporate behemoths and banksters than any other in history

    and its the rpubs fault

    quantitative easing

    GE and its criminal CEO is obamas BFF, but its the repubs fault GE pays no taxes

    more than half of this country pays no federal income tax and its the repubs fault

    lets get our pitchforks boys, those damn repubs are responsible for everythingand if not them its those damn rich people

    There is absolutely NO way we will have transparency because it would lead to a reduction in excess profits.

    Step one would be to crush corporations by removing them from government influence, by stopping the loopholes and cheating via the tax code.

    how about doing the government influence removal for everyone as well as the loophole closing for everyone.  maybe those job giving corporations dont need to be crushed under the mighty red fist of the heroic proletariat.  maybe they just might do business ethically and make some money too.

    Not one real economist can project anything other than default without massive entitlement reform with Medicare being the biggest one of all by far.  This is not a topic that can even be debated.  The following will link you to david walkers comeback america website go to page 12 and read on medicare.  he is non partisan

    • Restoring Fiscal Sanity


    The super elite rich do have unfair loopholes and advantages.  I still am a conservative and will always be one.  RINOs are my enemy in addition to many others.

    I looked it up.  I am in the top 1.7%..woohoo,  lucky me.  i can tell you it has been a very hard road and i darn well earned it.

    bandit - we have been in a depression for 2+ years. without massive government spending we would be ticking -5% on GDP instead of +2% growth. just wait until the US dollar is fully destroyed or devalued by half. think times are rough now, just wait

    i look forward to august 2nd or 3rd...balanced budget overnight

    i can hope

    Unlike the President, the Republicans put forth a budget and a debt reduction plan.

    I guess this poster thinks money grows on trees or something.
