Ever heard of the printing press?

No money for tornado victims

Money to lower the tax rate from 32% (which they originally couldn’t afford) to 25% which would cost 3 trillion dollars over 10 years.

That seems about right. Crooks.

So why doesn’t Mr. Wonderful outline those offsets? Because he has no idea what to cut, but he is not even vaguely above using the disaster in Joplin to his political advantage. If he was serious he would have identified potential offsets before opening his corrupt mouth. He will have offsets just as soon as one of his lobbyist pals donates enough to his PAC to qualify.

For the record, BOTH sides are reprehensible. Cantor is simply so full of himself and apparently unaware of what government is supposed to do (like help Americans when a natural disaster hits) that he now thinks he speaks and it becomes law. Remember, this over coiffed clown thought he could enact laws without the Senate or president.

What is up with CBS and the white-haired dudes? Bob, Harry and I think the newbie Scott are all white-haired if I remember?

we cant afford to help them out even while we hand out billions in subsidies to oil companies? bitch plz

You lose money when tax rates are lowered despite not being able to afford it. Spare me the “not yours to begin with” no sense. The government can levy taxes as needed. Do you want no taxes? Then that means no roads, military, police, emergency relief and so on.

What is wrong with Cantor? Paying for things the government buys?! At what point did that become a priority?

We America… we can spend and spend and buy and spend, and who cares how much debt we get into?!

Spend now, think about how to pay for it later… or never… that’s the way it should be. Nope, no problems with come from that strategy.

For the last three decades, the GOP has railed against the “tax and spend” Democratic Party.
When they got the reins, they became the “borrow and spend” Party.
When the Dems got back in, the GOP complained about the debt THEY CREATED.

I’d rather have higher state taxes and lower, if nonexistent, Federal taxes. I don’t believe in paying money for the DOE. Or EPA. I believe that I should be able to donate money to private school institutions over public. And I shouldn’t have to pay for NPR, Planned Parenthood and other liberal agencies.

I would rather give money to NASA than the agencies listed above. Simple as that.

It’s called a cycle. Businesses hire people and then you have more incomes to contribute to the pool. When you have businesses that are forced to pay for X (health-care wise), they’re not going to hire and they’ll move overseas. I don’t blame them.

Right to work states have better unemployment number figures than non-right to work states. Deal in facts at least.

Great point. Since the Republicans did a poor job of managing the economy… they’re never allowed to comment or complain about anyone else! Democrats are now allowed to do whatever it is they want economically, because the Republicans made mistakes too.

Yes… that’s fine logic, Glacks.

Look – if we could just get rid of CA & NY, I’m sure that the rest of the country could write the wrongs. Until you get rid of those voting blocks, that essentially contribute nothing, the Dems will get blamed for everything. And rightly so. I don’t want the US to turn into CA & NY. Sorry.

Right?

Maybe the problem all along with conservatives is they just understand basic principles of balancing budgets and math? Less revenue, equals less money, thus there is a D-E-F-I-C-I-T, meaning money needs to be made up. When you dramatically decrease revenue you dramatically create DEFICITS.

It’s too bad you have unlimited money for big oil, big pharma, the industrial military complex and health insurance companies. If the Cantor had his way we would turn into a Mexico.

Cantor was simply stating that there needed to be offsets but that Congress would find the money. The people who find it admirable to bounce rubber checks for liberal causes are every bit as insane as those who say it is ok for Republicans to do so to better their agendas.Real-life people live within their means every single day.

but defense spending is sacrosanct

pawlenty told amanpour that defense cuts are absolutely off the table

these guys have no shame. they’re transparently malevolent.

Ken_H said:

so you admit that the wall street financial institutions aren’t ‘real-life people’, because they
were precisely the ones who weren’t living within their means, and taking enormous
risks with actual real-life people’s money.

and since when did the deficit become so important? that is, to ‘real-life’ people?

recent polls show that the deficit is like the 3rd or 4th most important issue, and even that
is suspect because the entire mainstream media is obsessed with the non-issue

how often is the media mentioning that almost 70% of americans want the govnt to
raise taxes on the wealthy?

None of them have shame. Not the Republicans who wet themselves at the notion of raising taxes or the liberals who keep trying to add new entitlements when we cant pay for those we already have, and who want to pass economy killing bills in the name of tree worship. They are all beholden to one interest or another.

I don’t give a squirt about Wall Street crooks or Lefty tree huggers. I believe in regulation as people have proven forever that trust leads to corruption. I also don’t believe in favoring green energy over what we have until the market makes the switch because it is the way to go.

Eric Cantor On Need To Offset Funds For Tornado Victims: We ‘Don’t Have Unlimited Money’

Obama can offset the cost very easily by firing 200 of those extra IRS agents he hired to administer the ‘ good as repealed already ‘ ObamaCare debacle.

Nobody pays any attention to just how much Barack built up his guarenteed voting block on the backs of the white ” real ” American middle class in this country…….almost nobody.

Spoken like a true racist. Because only white “real” middle America is responsible for the flourishing of America, jackass.

Empathy is not a strong character trait among conservatives. In fact, most of them regard it as a weakness.

Wanna “offset” the cost of helping those in need after a natural disaster? Discontinue providing the federal subsidies that you just voted to extend to the fossil fuel industries­. Eliminate the tax exempt status for politically-active religious organizations. Rescind the Bush era tax cuts for the wealthiest people.

Nah, it’s all about priorities, right Eric?

If you did away with the shrimp treadmill, there’s $500k you could send to Joplin. And that’s one of a gazillion programs that just flushes money down the toilet. Bitch all ya want about mediscare, wars, defense, welfare etc etc etc..they are all bankrupting us just as the shrimp treadmill is….

It’s painfully obvious nobody is gonna give in until the whole economic system collapses. Who the hell cares anymore anyway. I’m 53 I’ll be dead when/if they get around to fixing anything and I’ve prepped my kids to adjust themselves to a much lower standard of living than they were accustomed to. Just the facts, we’re all gonna live like welfare constituency, it’s unavoidable.

May be Eric Canter can ask his Prime Minister to return the more than $3 billion documented, and possibly $10 billion undocumented, aid to Israel. Missouri will only contribute over $528 million to Israel between 2010 to 2018. Talk about contempt of congress. Our shameless politicians should be held in contempt of American public. How dare they steal with one hand and ask us to sacrifice with the other.
http://bit.ly/CelebratingForeignDomination

I have some suggestions for Cantor to “offset” human devastation and natural diseaster aid, try increasing taxes for the very rich, stop tax breaks for major corporations, stop supporting financial institutions, make everyone who “borrowed” bale-out money from the govt. He’s going to find the race to hold his seat not so simple anymore in VA. We’ve gotten much smarter.

That 6 billion annual payment to Israel that Cohen so avidly supports would come in handy down in Joplin, wouldn’t it.

We all know that not all psychopaths are murderers. They just have no sense of right or wrong and have no sense of humanity that is beyond their own needs to have power over their circumstances. Can’tor is just such a person. He is seeking his power, more powerful than Boehner and he wants his spotlight. He will do anything, that is anything to achieve his goals. I read his proposed budget, it is sickening. Not only does he want to demolish MEDICARE, he is persuing SS but with a smaller headline. See we have been there before and the GOP lost that one. But they will not stop trying. READ ROLLING STONE THIS WEEK. There is an article about Roger Ailes the Chairman of Fox News and his DICTATORIAL powers over the network. It rightfully, calls the republican party as being reshaped as the FOX NEWS PARTY with the morning show setting the talking points for the day. AILES IS IN CHARGE and our country is on the verge.

Keep talking Eric. Keep on thinking that these quotes will get the Republicans back in the White House. You either care about people or you don’t. Do you really think that the people down in Joplin are thinking about whether those in Washington need to offset their recovery from their current miserable condition but cutting elsewhere. To even connect the disaster in Joplin with cost cutting from the federal budget just shows Republicans don’t give a damn about people who are down and out, seniors, minorities, just about themselves. You don’t get votes, win elections, become a Party of the people thinking like that. Ask Paul Ryan.

Here are my thoughts on your post dude:
First of all, thanks for your post with many correctly spelled words, however, no one belonging to the “” real ” American middle class in this country”: can be so atrocious in written English as you are, as if it was your third or fourth language; so please let us know what you really are.

Second, you forgot to mention the dozens of black helicopters that he is using 24X7 to keep you under surveillance which can be redeployed for more useful purposes, such as finding and killing Mullah Omar and Aiman Al Zawahiri, now that he has already whacked OBL (BTW, that’s abbreviation for Osama Bin Laden for feeble minded people such as yourself:-))

BTW, a friendly advice, there is a wonderful software called Microsoft Word (I am sure you have heard of it) which can work wonders at reducing the atrociousness level of your pathetic attempt at written English you wretch. Don’t you think your time will be better spent if you tried improving your life by doing something useful than writing hateful comments about non-whites; I am one of them just so you know.

Somebody REALLY needs to take the Republican “leadership” in the House of Representatives aside and explain the political facts of life to them. First off, juxtaposing Eric Cantor talking about offsetting tornado relief with spending cuts at the same time President Obama is telling the victims they will be made whole is terrible politics. He is up for re-election in 2012, and this is the sort of thing that is going to be replayed over and over again in ads all over the country. Secondly, if there is no money in the 2011 budget to pay for disaster relief, that is dereliction on the part of the people who wrote the budget, because there are some sort of disasters EVERY year.

The Left is just bummed because disaster spells opportunity for community organization to steal off the top. Let’s not forget how ACORN took over the handling of Hurricane Katrina clean up and entitlement.

While celebrities go crazy calling for help in Haiti and Japan, where is the call of funds and relief donations for Joplin or the other national disasters that have befallen states and cities in the past year Tennessee floods, Iowa floods, mudslides in California? The federal government is not made out of money. His statement is not a referendum on the suffering of victims of this tragedy, the based in the cold harsh reality that their is only so much money to go around. it is not always the entire responsibility of the federal government to foot the bill for natural disasters.

Cantor, Boehner and the rest of the corrupt Republican Party, along with too many Democrats, are so deep in Big Money’s pocket they can’t see daylight anymore. Humans can suffer and die, but their masters – Big Oil and the defense industry “welfare queens,” among others – have to to be kept flush with taxpayer $$$.

JasonMays said:
How are we going to pay for Obama’s wars if we don’t fund the military?

Beyond the fact that your question makes no sense, your “Partisan Alzheimers” is acting up again. GEORGE BUSH and DARTH CHENEY started these illegal wars – AND took the costs off-budget, hiding them by putting then on a “credit card” with Communist China, among others. They deceived Congress and the public by cooking the intel they used to justify the wars, then left the resulting diplomatic, military and fiscal quagmire for their successors to deal with.

Bush is being paid off with hefty “speaking fees” at unpublicized private events, while Cheney cashes in on his Halliburton stock – once nearly-worthless but now valuable thanks to the wars he helped create.

Where in the Constitution do you find the authorization for paid staffs and offices for members of Congress?
If they aren’t there, that money should be sent to Joplin.
Members should pay their own staffs.

Iric Cantor beats these drums for the billionaires, not the majority of Americans. He sounds totally unreasonable compared to the good old American tradition of helping our neighbors when they get into trouble.
I don’t think this attitude will serve him well in politics very long.

The problem is this, there was absolutely no mention of off setting funds when GW initiated the war in Afghanistan, and then in Iraq. I guess the U.S. was rife with money in the early 2000″s. But now that some of our fellow Americans have suffered tragic devastation, the “Republicons” want to ensure they get their money back, if the government assist these victims, financially. Let me see if I have this right. If money is needed to aid Americans, who have suffered untold tragedy, we need accountability, for any funding the government may provide. But if we need money to fund a war that takes American lives, no accountability needed.

LiberalsAreIgnorant says:
What is the new world order? From what I can tell it’s when the richest people in the world take over the government of the most powerful nation in the world, the United States of America. It appears their goal is to implement socialism, monopolize their industries, and collapse the dollar in an effort to create a one world currency. It sounds like science fiction, but from what I discovered, they came close to achieving it with the election of Obama.

This is why Cantor it thoroughly unsuited for leadership at any level. He is so rigidly attached to the talking points that he ignores the actual people and their actual needs. It is not just what he says, but the almost matter of fact way he says it. This guy doesn’t care about anything that is off his script, and a natural disaster is off his script.

So, plenty of money for massive tax cuts on the Ryan plan, more than enough to continue to subsidize oil and most other industries, loads to overpay Cantor’s overpaid and huge staff but not a dome available for the actual taxpayers in Joplin who need and deserve the assistance of the government they have been funding all this time.

Cantor should be forced to live in a FEMA tent in Joplin without his armada of hair products for a week. Then let’s see his attitude.

When was the last time we had this type of a discusssion?. Never!. Now that the right is doing everything it can do to cut, cut, and cut, it knows that with these cuts during a time when the economy is fragile, the economy may start to tank and this would be bad for Obama. They are rooting for unemployment to stegnate and even increase. It’s no accident that after running on a jobs platfrom last fall, the House has failed to propose any type of a plan to spur job growth, but they are trying to redefine abortion, Rape, what pediatrician can and cannot say to children about the safety of guns and on and on and on. The Republican governors on the state level in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohiio and Florida have had their approval ratings drop by double digits. Scott in Florida having just won in November has an approval rating of 29%. People have realized that these governors are way over reaching in trying to push their right wing agenda and they as well as the republican regislatures may get a realtiy check in 2012 and 2016 if they don’t get a grip.
