Sen. Chuck Schumer On Debt Negotiations: Republicans Have ‘Walked Out On Everything’

Video
» 54 comments

Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer appeared on Morning Joe to discuss how difficult the budget talks with Republicans have been since they keep “walking out” when things don’t go their way. Joe Scarborough suggested President Obama isn’t without blame either since he waited so long to get involved, yet Schumer responded that now Obama is anxious to make a big deal while the Republicans keep talking in circles.

Schumer vented his frustration with Republicans:

“They’ve walked out on everything. They walked out . . . on the Simpson-Bowles [Debt Commission]. They walked out on the Group of Six. They walked out on the [Vice President Joe] Biden talks. And they just walked out on the President’s grand deal. I mean, this idea that ‘oh both sides are to blame?’ The President put on the table some terribly painful things. Democrats didn’t walk out.”

Conservative columnist Peggy Noonan also was a guest and asked Schumer whether the August 2nd debt ceiling deadline is truly the day after which cataclysm would occur? Schumer compared it to a house being drenched in kerosene, and every day after August 2nd a new match is thrown at the house so that you’ll never know which day the explosion might occur. Yet despite the extreme rhetoric on both sides (maybe here included), Schumer is confident the country will avoid a default because at least up until yesterday, he thought conversations with Speaker John Boehner were progressing “quite good.”

    “They’ve walked out on everything. They walked out . . . on the Simpson-Bowles [Debt Commission].”

    LOL a-hole. Obama “walked out” on the Simpson-Bowles debt commission. He appointed it and then ignored every proposal they made.

    Schumer is perhaps the most partisan leftist swine in Congress. And only Barney Frank compares to him when it comes to lying.

  • Republicans Are Liars

    Here, then, are 10 Republican Lies about what Democrats are trying to accomplish:

    •Lie #1: Democrats Plan Across the Board Tax Hikes on January 1st
    •Lie #2: Democrats Want a $3.8 Trillion Tax Increase
    •Lie #3: Tax Cuts Pay for Themselves
    •Lie #4: The Bush Tax Cuts Didn’t Add to the Deficit
    •Lie #5: Expiring High Income Tax Cuts Will Hurt Small Business
    •Lie #6: The Estate Tax Devastates Small Businesses and Family Farms
    •Lie #7: The Bush Tax Cuts Helped All Americans
    •Lie #8. Extending Bush Tax Cuts for the Wealthy is the Best Way to Stimulate the Economy
    •Lie #9. Bush Tax Cuts Produced 52 Straight Months of Job Growth
    •Lie #10: The Rich Pay Too Much in Taxes Already

  • Harry Flashman

    We can always count on Schumer to be objective, can’t we?

    By the way, the Dems leave the right little choice but to walk out. Plopping down proposals that are more of the same (taxes, taxes, and more taxes) isn’t negotiating.

    It hasn’t worked and ain’t gonna work. Why should they sit and listen to that BS?

  • Republicans Are Liars

    Hey Look at what I found… Let’s take a look down memory lane and look at the Republican lies from 2009. Why it is a “greatest hits” retrospective of REPUBLICAN LIES. I hope every one enjoys this… Thanks Joe, R. of Reynoldsburg Ohio!

    Top 10 Republican Lies of 2009

    Though Republicans have used misinformation, distortion and lies to achieve their political motives for decades. To me 2009 seems like a banner year for such lies. So what follows is what in my opinion were the biggest lies of 2009. First let me say that since the creation of this blog I have always worked hard to find the truth and to call out those that lie. It seems in this era one even has to define what truth means. To me a truth is a fact. It is verifiable and objective. It is not open to opinion. The following list are in fact all lies, what is open to opinion is whether they were the biggest lies.

    10. There is a liberal media bias. This lie is not new, it is what those like Fox and Rush Limbaugh use to justify their incredible bias. The reality is the true bias appears obviously on Fox News, Talk Radio and so called Christian Broadcasting and bias is far right. On the left there is Air America Radio and a few other smatterings of Liberal Talk like Stephanie Miller and Ed Schultz. But try to find it on your radio dial sometime. The right has been successful with their ownership in most radio networks and advertiser boycotts to keep it from being on any major radio stations. On television there is MSNBC, at least in the evenings. The rest of the main stream media is all owned and controlled by huge corporate interests, if anything their bias is to the right.

    9. Americans don’t want health reform. One reason Barack Obama was elected was his stance on health reform. In addition when Americans are polled on what is actually being put into legislation they are overwhelming for it. Yet with all the misinformation and lies put out by big insurance and the republicans for greed and political reasons, there is understandably confusion among the electorate.

    8. Barack Obama is not a Citizen of the United States. Yes this lie is stupid, has been proven false again and again, and should be laughed at. Yet there are still those that promote this lie to this day. What is sad, it includes Congressmen, Senators and even Sarah Palin.

    7. Obama is the most partisan President in History. The facts prove he is quite the opposite. Even with their clear announced intentions to fight every thing President Obama does, even with their attempts to block, stop and not give a single vote to any legislation that is being worked on on behalf of the American People, the President has compromised anyway much to the distress of the left. The Stimulus package was way smaller then most on the left wanted and the Health Care Reform bill does not have a public option in any form. This is compromise, this is bipartisan ship. He has done so even knowing not one Republican will vote on the legislation no matter what is in it.

    6. The Health Care Bill was Rushed. This lie is laughable. It was 40 years ago Senator Edward Kennedy gave his first speech on the floor on the need for Health Care Reform. All we have heard about since last summer is Health Care Reform. It has dominated Congress, the news and many Americans lives. Republicans have successfully delayed it, stalled it, put obstructions in the way for months. This bill has not been rushed it has been dragged out way too long at the peril of the thousands of Americans that have died do to lack of insurance these past months.

    5. The Stimulus was a failure. Really now? Did I miss the second great depression we were heading toward? Am I missing soup lines, food rationing, massive closures of retail stores? Am I missing thousands of boarded up banks and financial institutions? Is the auto industry gone? No of course not the stimulus, the TARP and other things implemented by President Obama and his economic team stopped the bleeding from the deep wounds left by the Republicans and George W. Bush. All with less then 1/2 the Stimulus money being actually spent to date. From here is all up.

    4. Health Care Reform is going to pay for abortion with Tax dollars. No, it never was, it never will. From the very beginning the Hyde Amendment which prevents the use of federal funds being used for abortions was affirmed in the language of the Health Care bills. There was never any attempt to take that out. . This was a lie plain and simple to confuse and delay the bill, period.

    3.Obama is raising your taxes. This is the easiest lie to verify yet the one most believe. Look at your damn paycheck for God’s sakes. YOUR TAXES HAVE GONE DOWN! In fact the federal tax rate is at its lowest rate in 70 years. The only people even in danger of a tax hike are those that make over $250,000 a year that is less that 5% of the country. So Teabaggers protest all you want, but the facts are the facts, taxes have not gone up.

    2.ACORN has committed illegal acts. This lie has been very successful by the right. It resulted in legislation voted on by many Democrats to cut funding for programs that were run and bid on in a fair process by ACORN. The fact is after numerous investigations and court hearings ACORN has been proven innocent. There was no election fraud, there was no mortgage fraud, there was no assistance in setting up illegal operations. In fact the only crime that has been committed was by those Con artists that created and falsified a slanderous movie.

    1. Death Panels. Though most Americans do not believe this one, it was however perhaps the most sick, and most ignorant lie of the year. It was brought to America by that lovable brainless barbie doll, Sarah Palin. It wasn’t long after it was picked up by the Tea baggers, The ignorant Palin wanna bees like Jeanette Moll and unfortunately some people that have actually been elected to Congress. This lie was horrible because it scared many elder Americans for no reason whatsoever.

    Gotta give Schumer credit for having a real knack for consistency, he’s lied so long and so often he’s got it down pat. Can you imagine the pain and shame his family must feel every time he opens his mouth? How would you like to live with the fact your father/grandpa is nothing more than a serial liar? Quite a legacy he leaves.

    I would remind Mr. Schumer just as the president said to John McCain ” the election is over” Shumer your party lost control and during the last two years that your party controlled both houses of congress you basicly told the republicans to shut up and take a back seat to any important process moving through either chamber. Republican representatives were not even provided with drafts to the Healthcare legislation prior to the vote as they were deemed to be unimportant to the process and their imput was not wanted. So Mr. Schumer I would suggest to you that what goes around comes around, the republicans are responding to the mandate that put them back tino a majority in the house… and as distasteful as you may find the current negoiations in Washington I would suggest to you that they are not as nearly distasteful as many in this country found the back room, closed door, exclusive as in you have no say here, wheeling and dealing, buying and selling process the Dems chose to employ in passing the Affordable Health Care legislation.

    Good point, Dems should also be very very nervous about the latitude they’ve given this President. If they don’t win in 2012 (and basically declare marshal law to thwart any future elections), can you imagine what will happen when a Republican gets into office with a Repub majority? What goes around comes around dumb asses.

  • gefforyk

    haha – Republicans Are Liars.. you make me laugh…. I would tire myself trying to list the lies of this president.. but if I did maybe I would start with this will be the most transparent adminsitration our country has ever seen… Or maybe the one about he would reduce the deficit by half during his first term… that too was a good one. The list is endless and you don’t even have to go to politifact to find them… you just have to think back and recall his own words.

  • Just4thefax

    Fact: Thank God the republicans say not more spending and taxing for socialism that has caused the mess we are in now.

    Keep in mind that Obama has already signed the largest tax increase since 1993. Thanks to the 2010 Affordable Care Act (aka: Obamacare) a whole slew of taxes are coming our way starting in 2013. It wasn’t coincidence that the taxes are set to hit until after he hopes to be re-elected. He knows the shit is going to hit the fan and at that point it will be too late to hold him responsible. He can kick back and watch everything fall apart secure in his job.

  • GoneFishing

    How did we get here? The Dem’s increased spending 28% when they had control of everything in 09-10, and increased the Deficit almost 50% in just two years. That increase is at the heart of the problem we are seeing today.

    How do we solve it? Return spending levels to 2008 levels, and repeal Obama Care. we would Still have a defect, but it would be one quarter of what we have today and heading to Zero…a savings of over 1.2 Trillion this year alone.

    The other side of the Problem is Revenue…Want to increase revenue? Then just d oas the Republicans have suggested; Restructure the Tax Code to remove all exemptions and reduce rates across the board. Do that and the Economy would move swiftly ahead bringing greater returns to the Government nad treasury.

    Everyone of these suggestions has been offered by the Republicans, and Every one has been rejected by Democrats and the President. The Dem’s will do everything in their power to keep the 09 spending increase they added in place. We are seeing that now.

    So what do the Dem’s want? They want an increase in immediate increases in Taxes with the ‘Promise’ of a reduction in spending some time in the future..

    The President refused any hard limits or structural change to spending…and all the Dem’s offer is a ‘Promise’ …kinda like ‘The checks in the mail’. Thats just a non-starter. We have heard it before and we know its a lie.

    Face it, Chuck. Republicans want to reduce the size and scope of government. And they control the Congressional budget — so they are in the driver seat. You can whine all you want, but Democrats have no leverage in this debate. Obama’s choice is to cave in now or later, but he can’t force his tax-and-spend agenda through this Congress. It is D.O.A.

    In short, Democrats are learning what many Americans have learned in recent years — when you constantly need to borrow more money to fund your spending spree, you are at the mercy of the person who decides your debt limit. Right now, that person’s name is John Boehner. Deal with it.

    LOL. Does GE ring any bells? If you think both sides aren’t trying to please their corporate masters you are more delusional than I thought.

    You just have to love Liberal Mentality. For 2 solid years while Liberals rammed crap down our throats, telling Republicans to shove it everytime they offered a solution, and now when a Liberal cant ram any longer they want the conservatives to listen to their lame ideas on how to fix this mess Obama and his gang gave us. You people dont get it still. You do not own Washington any more. You can not ram crap any more. You want to get along fine, then learn to play nice and try a little honesty in your negotiations. All you can come up with is tax tax tax, at a time when everyone is looking for a job. How seriously ridiculous is that. The smart guy has it right, WE dont need higher tax rates, WE need more tax payers. How do you suppose we get those? One thing is for certain, you raise taxes on ANYONE and you loose jobs and or spending or both. Liberals just cant give up that Tax and spend mentality, that tax the rich and give to the poor syndrom which only creates more poor, and looses jobs. How foolish.

    They were sent to congress last November to STOP YOU.

    GET IT NOW?

    They sent my CENSUS form back. In answer to the question,

    “Do you have any dependents?”

    I had put…”12 million illegal immigrants, crack heads, unemployable parasites, the cast of the Jerrey Springer Show, Thousands of people in our penal institutions, left overs from Katrina, half of Mexico, much of Congress @ staff, most of the Senate and a Muslim President.

    Apparently this wasn’t an acceptable answer?

    Fact: I say the fourty percent that don’t pay any tax at all now start paying taxes then see if they say they don’t pay enough after a short period.

    Again another idiotic comment to someone who is clueless to what the conversation is about.

    EVERYTHING ON THIS LIST IS RIGHT!!!!!!

    I am glad you agree. Everything on this list is a Republican lie. Never thought you would see the light of day.

  • http://constitutionallibertarian.co.cc DavidKramer

    28% increase in spending since Obama has become President. A 40% increase in size of the debt.

    Yeah, this is gonna keep working. I mean, if you want the US to be Greece in 3 years yeah, this will work.

    Shut er down folks. Remember what these pathological liars and sociophaths did to Reagan. They promise if you raise taxes a little, they will cut spending. Happens everytime.

    Lying sacks of shyte. Let Obama attempt to run deficits without congress and then impeach him.

    You have to love old Ed here. He has selective ignorance. He totally ignores all the “Obstructionists” tactics the idiot Conservatives used to block the Democrats at every turn. Just because they were unsucessful on the healthcare issue, they have to act like spoiled children and do everything in their power to ruin the economy. They tried this under the Bush administration, but didn’t quite finish the job. Obviously Conservatives are very immature hypocrites, who insist that things must be done their way, or no way at all. All in all Conservatives are worthless.

    Chuck has bigger problems than pretending to be upset with Republicans like getting out from under the shadow of his protege…the infamous creepy cyber porn star and former congressman Anthony the ‘Schumer Will Protect Me’ Wiener.

    If you’d have said 35 million Criminal Aliens you would have been closer to the mark but then, who’s counting.

    Mark Levin gives the best description of what Chuck Schumer is that I’ve heard.

    There are many things about which to disparage Senator Schumer – he loves the media spotlight, he would turn all privately owned firearms in the USA into scrap and ship it to China, he would turn every job into a union job, he has at least as much contempt for telling the truth as Bill Clinton or Barak Obama (not a disability for a lawyer/politician) – but the SOB is very smart and very focused. You don’t score a perfect 1600 on the SAT without being BOTH intelligent and willing to do a hell-of-a-lot more work than anybody I know. I won’t say that he is the most dangerous politician on the Left – he probably couldn’t get the Democratic nomination for president because of where he is from and his religion – but if he were chosen to be somebody’s running mate I would hope for the candidate’s sake he would employ a food taster.

    What is wrong with you? Why do you need a gun? You are probably an hourly guy. Why wouldn’t you want a union? Do you want dummies leading this country or people of intelligence? You conservatives are truly the stupidest people on this planet.

    Charles Schumer, (D-imwhit-NY/Wall Street) = the nitwit who thinks the three branches of the US Government are “the House, the Senate, and the president” Chucky is, without doubt, a SENATOR 100% OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY WALL STREET. Every time nut-job chucky opens his mouth I get a thrill up my leg. His insane remarks discredit and disgrace the entire lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist extremist ideology better than anyone else or anything else could possibly do.

    Another idiotic post by a true idiot who knows nothing but spouts off like he knows everything. Schumer is Wall Streets nightmare not someone controlled by them.
