Trickle down.  A proven failure since 1984.

Teapublicans were offered a deal that would have provided budget cuts to tax hikes at a rate of 10 to 1 and they rejected it. They have ZERO credibility when it comes to claiming to want to negotiate. It’s all kabuki theater. Their only mission is to defeat Obama and they said that at the outset of his presidency.

When does Soledad officially join the Justice League of America ?
I wonder what her costume will be ?

Amazing how liberals carry Obamas bucket of lies a spew it around as facts!!

Soledad: “Of course its true, I read it on Media Matters and I really want to believe it.”

O’Brien is a flack for the Obama reelection committee. She is but one example of the Agenda Driven Media. A better ran network wouldn’t even have offered her employment. 

Soledad O’Bama showing her unabashed loyalty to the progressive movement with her attempted demagoguery… classic media bias… start out with a false premise and then walk it back

Sweetheart, Obama doesn’t need any help getting elected.  Have you seen the GOP candidates?  I mean, really.

I like the way Tombey said Soledad was wrong, then basically repeated what she said.

They sealed their fate when all the GOP candidates all rejected that 10 to 1 offer.  And with that said, you are absolutely correct.  When it comes to this issue, there is no media bias, just the tape.

She really did not walk anything back, the congressman was arguing that we need to cut cut cut and castigating Obama’s budget, etc., but he does not favor increasing taxes on those who are making all the money, not the Buffet rule, not repeal of the Bush tax cuts, nothing, except maybe a tax decrease on the upper brackets. Most people, as O’Brien pointed out, do not favor that approach.

The problem with trickle down economics is that in a world economy the trickle occurs in some other country.

She was right. Extension of Bush tax cuts (making them permanent) does increase the deficits.

Hey, that was pretty clever what you did there with her last name.  How on earth did you ever come up with that?  Such genius. And you say you’re a Republican?  No kidding!

She is definitely on the progressive side, but so what. Do you doubt that O’Reilly, Hannity, and company are on the conservative side? There is nothing wrong with that dynamic.

Have you seen Obamas dismal polls? Have you seen O’s real unemployment numbers(not the ones fabricated by his corrupt admin)?

Bottom line, in 2008 Dems held a 5 point advantage of registered voters and guess what, O’ won by 5 points. However, now the Reps have a 3 point advantage because people have fled the Dem party due to O’s radical policies!! Something you will never read here or any other liberal biased media!! O will not have nearly as many people turning out to vote for him as he did in 08 and the GOP will probably have a record number of people turning out to throw this scam out of the WH!!

Facts show anyone who runs against the failed O will be the next Pres!!

I suppose that means that you do not favor increasing taxes on those making big dollars, to help close the budget gap, but most people do favor such an increase, including Buffet, and even George Soros.

Yea, check it out: http://www.mediamatters.com

Every picture of SoulDad makes her look like a spouse-beating wench.

She may very well be, although I have no proof of it.

You’re right.  I should have listened to you all along.  My bad.

I guess you missed the part where he reiterated lower marginal rates across the board while scaling back on deductions…  It really doesn’t matter as we will either see the president extend the Bush tax cuts at the end of the year, or not, either a tax increase for everyone or none at all.  I don’t think that either side is in the mood to do what is right for the country. 

It’s always amusing when far left websites (or far right, for that matter) with very little web traffic are conflated with exorbitant influence on the political process. Media Matters isn’t the Drudge Report.

But they’d probably thank you for the advertising as it all it does is help them.

This site could use a “Dislike” button….

In other words, you can’t dispute what she’s saying, so you’re going to just call her names.

Great logic there, chump.

Who would have thought?!

Amazing how you don’t see your own conservative irony to that comment..

Or is that intended to be a non factual statement?

That’s because it was factually wrong – it didn’t take into consideration the lower middle class rates.

It was another CNN HIT PIECE by DNC Operative O’Brien!

They let Obama walk away without questioning, when he claims $850 Billion dollar “War” savings that were never scheduled to be spent; but here, in a reasoned effort to address tax policy, they deliberately misrepresent the context!

Hey DNC Operative O’Brien, did you clear this interview with MEDIA MATTERS first?

I actually understood that was said. “Scaling back on deductions” is Republican code-speak, however, and I dismissed it out of hand. Perhaps, I should not have. And, Democrats certainly have their own code-speak. Thanks for pointing this out. I very much agree with your last sentence.

Vote on Obama’s budget today !

Part of the Dem strategy is to bring up Congress’ low poll numbers to make Obama look good in comparison. Time and again you hear it, and Obama is running against Congress, which is his only hope.

When the opponent is confirmed, watch the smear machine kick up into high gear. But Barry has a record to defend, full of failure, corruption and incompetence.

Just another example of Republicans and their propensity for being rude!!

I love the video!

Let me guess, you actually believe Obama when he says Buffet pays a lower rate then his secretary?
We don’t have tax problem, we have a spending problem!! Obummer is growing the size and scope of Government at and unsustainable rate, that is a non debatable FACT!!…..it’s such a shame that people on the left are unable to grasp this fact and instead play into Obamas game of blaming a villain.

Various GOP tax plans would effectively increase the tax burden on wealthier Americans, while simplifying the process for all.
My guess is they’re waiting to introduce those revisions, and at that time will effectively debunk the President’s class-warfare rhetoric.

But look on the bright side…the Democrats will still have their War On Religion!
heh-heh-heh

too bad its none of the current gop candidates.

Soledad got caught trying to push Media Matters talking points again!  hehe.

MrPorkChops,   I appreciate you stating reality, which ultimately debunked his little claim; however, Mr. CornHolio doesn’t live in our reality, which is why it’s simpler to agree with him than to challenge him. 

hahahah

Birtherism didn’t work, College Grades didn’t work, He’s a muslim didn’t work, so now its “War On Religion”?

what next …. He really didn’t want to get Osama…..?  wait I think you guys said that too.

hahahah

And the Republicans will still their War on Contraception and their War on Gay Rights and their War on Womens’ Choice and…

And, of course, their War on the War on Christmas.

You are a tool if you think the Republicans are there to help all Americans. I am certain they will never propose anything that will ever make sure Buffet doesn’t pay tax at a lower rate than his secretary (how the hell did that happen, by the way?!). The Repulicans are constitutionally incapable of caring about people like you. You just don’t get it. (I am assuming you don’t earn at least half a million a year. If you do, then you may be protecting your own interest, which is fair enough).

There is no war on religion. You don’t need to repeat stuff just to be anti-Dem. Use your imagination, there must be something about Dems you don’t like and is true.

Remember, if you just stick to facts, you will sound progressive.

Clinton handed Bush a surplus….. Bush handed Obama a recession.
  
The Bush Tax Cuts never created jobs..

It’s simple Math… on what needs to be done.

btw.. Reagan raised taxes 12 times…… 

Dear Republicans….. Reagan raised taxes 12 times……  don’t you guys love Reagan? 

Please share with us exactly which GOP plans would do as you say, I’d like to do some research.

Isn’t it time to ask these talking heads to bring out the Media Matters person so we can debate with the person in charge?  As long as we debate the puppets of Media Matters, nothing gets resolved.

 he’s guessing…

Hey numbnuts! Obama didn’t say that, Warren Buffett himself did! And guess what? His secretary, Debbie Bosanek, also agreed with him. Guess what else? This is one of those dastardly things you tighty-rightys hate the most, a FACT, something that can be looked up, verified and proven. Your baseless Fox-fueled vitriol’s worst enemy!! Fact: Warren Buffet paid roughly 17% in income tax. Fact: Debbie Bosanek paid just over 35%. In your mind that somehow translates into another “Obama lie” even though the data is out there and easy to find.
It seems you are too stupid (or brainwashed) to believe in FACTS, you prefer your FauxNews sound-bites, they are soooo much easier than thinking.

I didn’t hear him rebut even one of those items on the CNN graphic.

Doesn’t mean MM is incorrect….

Proof?

What was incorrect?

What was wrong about what she said?

You lie, and the SuperCommittee was a stupid joke. 

GOP Offer Tax Deal to Break Debt Impasse, Dems Dismiss It

 Ditto $5 Trillion of Obama’s deficit spending.

…and here I was thinking he was just lying! My bad.

Proven failure??? What country have you been living in???

The cutting of the top marginal rates from 70+% to under 30 didn’t result in economic growth??? Clinton cutting capital gains in the 90′s didnt result in growth???

So sick of liberatards bashing the concept of the individual keeping more of their own money (whether they are rich or not) as something bad…

The government is $15 trillion in debt! How in debt is WalMart or Microsoft or Apple??? Yet you want Barney Frank and Joe Biden to tell us how to spend OUR MONEY!!!

 What makes think they didn’t work?

Interesting you chose Teddy Roosevelt as your avatar…Maybe you should read Thomas Sowells recent article on the damage that progressivism has done (and continues to do) on our country…Roosevelt was the first progressive who is given saint like status for rallying against big corporations…what was his solution??? THE GOVERNMENT!!!

Can’t wait to see our ERs turn into the DMV…but let’s keep feeding the beast Teddy!!!

Economic growth exploded in the 50′s with a top marginal rate as high as 92%.

Explain.

–Cobra

 What makes you think they did?

NOrbit… If you are going to accuse someone you need to have some sort of evidence, otherwise it’s called libel.

Oh, look. It’s Joe Wilson posing as Pablo!

Even Pablo’s wet dream Herb Cain said he would reject a 10 to 1 deal.

HOW MUCH MORE OF THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOR DOES THE GOVERNMENT DESERVE???

Name a number!!!

47% of US household pay NO federal income tax!!! Spending cuts never materialize after tax increases occur…study history and stop watching Bill Maher

 Obama is campaigning (for a change!) this week.
They’ll have to wait until he gets back. I hear the community organizer was the inspiration behind OWS as well.

  it didn’t take into consideration the lower middle class rates.

You need to quit repeating the lies of the Obama administration. They SAY they made those offers. Were they put on paper so you could read them. NO. Show me a document of those offers. LOL. When are going to hiding behind a phony name to lie for the administration. Maybe your real name is Michele Obama.

You ever been to Europe??? Eastern Europe??? Please enlighten us how the moral decay has helped those once great centers of civilization evolve to a higher plane!!!

Greece is burning!!! But they are “tolerant”…of EVERYTHING but work!!!

 Except in the real world, that didn’t happen! See Jack’s account of reality below.

 Is this guy really this dumb.

Show a piece of paper with that offer. You can’t do it. No offer was EVER made. JUST TALK. Just like what you do here. Just talk, using a phony name to lie.

Study baseline accounting before you start quoting Clintons surpluses…Define the “out years” for me…

List the time tax INCREASES created jobs outside of crony capitalism or public sector…

Run a company, make a payroll, fight city hall before you start spouting your college drivel…

Doritos and handj*bs for everyone!!!

Why are you using that racist name. You know Muslims hate pork. You are obvious Muslim hater. You are a liar too.

Factually wrong and ridiculous. Soledad seems to do this a lot. If you’re going to make an argument rather than ask a real question, you’d better back up your questions with specific facts.  Does make me appreciate Wolf Blitzer, though… 

Toomey is a far-right teabagger loon.

 Dictates from a Central Governing Regime over my freedoms in exchange for compliance to their ideology, and generational dependency on that Governments largesse is not the kind of “help” any of us need.

That’s subjugation.

I’d like to see the COMPENSATION structure revamped in this country. I agree that the current distribution of wealth is inane; but giving more to a crony-capitalist, politically-driven government is not the answer.  

Pablo, the exclamation “You lie” doesn’t make the case that exGOP was lying. I went over his statement line by line and found nothing you can dispute, at least not with facts or data. So go ahead and yell your epithets, they mean nothing unless you can back ‘em up.

And please try using the brains God gave you, for once. Did you even read that article, or just the headline? That “deal” you refer to would have “increase[d] tax revenue by nearly $300 billion over the next decade… mainly by limiting the value of itemized deductions such as write-offs for home mortgage interest, state and local taxes and other expenses.” These are all the things that normal (ie 99%) people use to lower their taxes by a $1000 or two. Low-hanging fruit, if you will. Unfortunately, the low-hanging fruit is all us poor folks get, what about those tax breaks and subsidies that take an expensive accountant to get? The ones that remove 100′s of thousands, even millions, out of our tax revenue stream? Can’t touch those! That might slow down all the job creation those rich folks have been doing these past few years!

Add the fact that “the tax increases would be offset by permanently extending the George W. Bush-era tax cuts past their 2012 expiration date, a move that
would increase deficits by about $4 trillion over the next decade” and it becomes obvious how slanted and unfair this “Tax Deal” really was. Let’s see, we’ll take $300 billion from Average Joe, but keep the breaks for millionaires that cost $4 trillion. It’s no wonder the “Dems Dismiss It”.

Are you an actual right wing nutbag or just posing as one?

Finally, someone with balls to stop O’Briens liberal senselss BS that she contstantly spews.
Ignorance halted for the good of man.

You mean the Sowell who compared Obama to Hitler? That Sowell?

Yeah, if I ever give a damn what a far right loon apologist for the excesses of conservatism thinks, I’ll be sure to give him a read.

You need to quit repeating the lies of Faux News and the rest of the right wing media bubble.

So if the offer wasn’t made and the GOP is so ready to take a deal like that, why hasn’t any high profile Republican pressed for it? Why did every one of the GOP candidates for president all say on a debate stage that they’d reject it?

Your name may or may not be phony, but your logic sure is false.

See, folks, here’s the problem: when we call not having a tax increase a “tax cut”, and we call increasing the budget more slowly a “budget cut”, then we’re having a real problem that people are trying to blow smoke up our collective asses.  Ideally, the news media wouldn’t be doing that.  Even cute brunettes.

I hate to break it to you, but that “47%” number you quote is only going to go higher if the Repugnicans get their way. The only reason “47″ pay no federal income tax is THEY ARE SO DAMN POOR! And the percentage of poverty-level households keeps climbing, so get used to it. Why are you so outraged that people who can barely feed their family pay so little and NOT outraged that so many people can barely feed their family? Warped priorities, my friend.

Do you honestly believe that anyone paid those marginal rates?  I am sure that there was plenty of loopholes, tax incentives and investment strategies available even back them to excuse most taxes in the upper brackets in fact probably more so than there are today, This is America after all and nothing is more American than a bloated tax code bought and paid for by those who would be exposed to those marginal rates of which you speak. 

Besides that we did not have the ability to track financial transactions back then like we do today, I would suggest to you that much of the income earned back in those days was off the books for anyone who was not working with a publicly traded company and even then I would suspect that much was hidden from the government.  Having said that I hope that you do not consider such a tax rate as being fair… 

Personally, I hope that the Bush tax cuts do expire just so that we can all do a little more to pay our own share, and we can stop hearing the liberal chant about how unfair life has been under the Bush tax rates…  not to mention that you guys will have to begin to own up to the deficits of the Obama administration as you will no longer be able to blame the tax cuts for contributing to the historical deficits of this president. 

What are you trying to say?

Again, what are you trying to say and how does it relate to the discussion at hand.

Did you not see the video?

 They probably didn’t cover it on Media Matters News, but they’re each variations on limiting or eliminating loopholes, moving toward a flatter and reduced tax rate(s).

Google, there’s a plethora of material.

His projector’s been broken since 1969.

Yeah, show Gordo some paper! Video isn’t good enough, unless you want to creatively edit it and air it on Fox or Breitbart to discredit the left (ACORN, Shirley Sherrod, Van Jones, etc).

I don’t know that they hate it. They’re not suppose to eat it. Same dietary laws for Jews, and I know a number of Jews who have terrible cravings for bacon and ham.

How would the Blue States (the ones that are losing all the jobs) get the money to fund their welfare society if the Red States (the ones that are getting all the jobs) seceded?

Everything you need to know about Thomas Sowells is summed up in this sentence from Wikipedia: “In 1968, he earned his doctorate degree in economics from the University of Chicago.” Another Milton Friedman nutball. ‘Nuff said.

Well, you know, if the previous president didn’t start two huge, unnecessary and extremely costly wars, borrowed 3 trillion to enact two tax cuts that primarily benefited the wealthy, passed a failed and costly NCLB act, and passed the extremely costly Medicare Part D program….

Then I’d be outraged like you.  

I LOL’d.

What we have to do is what the Roman Empire did and raise taxes on the poor and don’t let the wealthy pay taxes because they are the wealth creators.  This will stimulate the economy while making labor very cheap.

You should try to make sense, if only to not confuse yourself so much. There are very rich countries in the world with huge welfare states (Norway, Swithzerland, Germany, to name a few). You don’t travel, I am sure, but the average Norwegian or Swede would be surprised to hear that he is subjugated.

You have too much paranioa based on ignorance and propaganda you believe blindly. This is why you repeat hackneyed slogans and think you are saying anything substantive. You are not. You are factually wrong and your slogans are content-free.

I think NorthEndTavern is trying to say that he’s gone to the websites, and looked at the growth charts under the Presidents for the last 30 years, and its plain as day-reducing the top rates exploded revenues for the government and grew the economy…

And, the fact that Apple, Wal-Mart and Microsoft are doing so well happens to be because they are running a business-and they know how to keep costs down, while growing revenues-which means those businesses aren’t investing good money in looser enterprises like Solinda. 

Truth.

I can’t believe this dumb statistic has not been abandoned, yet I still see it.

It’s hilarious seeing millionaires that never worked a day in their life and have some inheritance or ridiculous allowance from mommy and daddy complain about people in poverty paying no taxes, while using loopholes that allow them to pay virtually nothing.

The bottom of wage earners are obviously in poverty and struggling.  We’re seriously going to ask them to pay by broadening the base but  let the extremely rich live even better?  That’s so messed up.  It’s sad, really.

The only fact you really need to know is, out of the bottom 20% of these people who pay no taxes, they on average paid 16.3% of their incomes in taxes that come straight out of their pay.

That number is a greater percentage than what Mitt Romney paid, who makes millions.

Sickening.

Oh I’m so happy the good of man has finally been restored from the damage a TV show has brought.

Try hard.

About time someone called the racist commie twit out.

Okay, troll, you won’t cite anything to support your claim other than “Google”. Take the easy way out much? lol

I did as you asked, I googled your phrase “GOP tax plans would effectively increase the tax burden on wealthier Americans”.
• 1st hit is NYTimes article about “Obama tax plan”. No good.
• 2nd hit is TheFiscalTimes titled “GOP Tax Plans: Who Wins, Who Loses”. That sounds better! Let’s quote! “Flat or round, the Republican proposals are a good deal for only a small slice of taxpayers, and most of them are wealthy.” Oops, that doesn’t help your case…
• 3rd hit is tpmdc titled “CHART: Romney Plan Raises Taxes On Lower-Middle Class, Cuts Taxes On Wealthy”. Again, no help.
• 4th is wiki’s page about the Bush tax cuts, highlighting “The cuts also increased the budget deficit, shifted the tax burden from the rich to…” Can’t expect any help from that Liberal wiki!
The rest go on like that… I give up! I can’t do your work for you. Until you can cite some factual reference (other than just “Google it!”) I consider you to be either a liar or a troll. B-bye!

Yes, Obummer must be defeated, the country simply cannot stand one more term for the jug eared dictator.  Think things are bad now, give him another four on steroids and these will seem like the happy times.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion but we prefer to deal in facts when discussing and debating here. Reasoned argument is much more helpful than generic baseless statements.

Yep, that’s pretty much the way the right-wing propaganda machine works. Pick an emotion-laden sound-bite and substitute it at every opportunity (estate tax becomes “death tax”, billionaires are suddenly “job creators”) while spewing misleading factoids that fall apart upon serious scrutiny. Rinse and repeat.

Are you referring to all those red states that take more out of DC than they send in?

 Yea, Greece and Europe and Eastern Europe are burning because they decided to have sex for another reason besides baby making.

Yea.

wow-Soledad- you must have tapped into a core of strength and freedom with your new show-
stay your case when the hypocrits come on and try to repeat the old talking points thinking
they won’t be challenged by the truth because as we observe every day on most shows they
are not and are allowed to get away with making it up as they go-congrats on your new found
source of integrity and guts.

Dang, this Blower dude sure sounds like a rabid teabagging “conservative”..

Exactly!

Nice slapdown of a ridiculous comment.

Soledad O’brien must be one of the worst news/interviewers on TV.   She is really bad.

Wow, MediaiteMatters is still promoting that Obama loving ditz Soledad O’Bama?

 Here’s the important parts: “college drivel” and “handj*bs for everyone.”

It’s not about “spending.”  It’s about jealousy.

The sad part is that Mediaite “conservative” scum bags never actually learned to read. They just repeat what they hear from the KurvyKoucKlan, KKKlanity or that drug addicted boy troller. So, your points will just fly over their heads.

How many highways has Wal Mart built? How about Police and Fire Protection? Airports? How about a mechanism to protect their interests overseas? How does Microsoft protect it’s intellectual property overseas? Did WalMart invent and pay for the Internet. It is idiocy to use a strict business model for This or any Government. This Government (we the people) provides for the common defense, promotes the general welfare and ensures the blessings of liberty while corporations exist only to maximize profits.

 Just how I feel when Robinson spews his WH talking points!

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sowell

Pharaoh done drowned. Or in the case of the ignorant bigot, had a heart attack and is eating his fat based breakfast thu a straw. God don’t like ugly. (lol)

Doesn’t “broadening the base” mean people who pay little or nothing, because they make so little, the only group Republicans, the anti tax party, believe in increasing taxes on, will pay more?

He can’t, he’s just a liar. Nothing to offer but fear like the standard RePubliklan platform. The 19th amendment is going to kill them in November.And the “scooter store” is going to void his warranty.

Sir, you need to scrape those “bodily fluids” and other ejecta off of your keyboard. You’re not making a damn bit of sense. One might mistake you for a slack-jawed, bucktoothed Jed Clampett. Only trying to help. (not)

Truth is since Rayguns lowered corp tax and tax on wealthy the defiits have grown tremendously. Except under Clinton. Then Bush blew it out of site and Obama is trying to put it back together!

Reasoned arguments with liberals is like casting pearls before swine.  Nuff said.

This idiot Toomey is such a loser.  But, anyone who would vote republican and put people like him in a position of power deserves what they get.

If they favor it, there is no law against doing so now, but both of these hypocrites use every tax dodge their lawyers can devise.

So your kinda  sorta shure there were loopholes? That is what you are basing your post on? Next time don’t!

other then the war on us what wars have walmart and microsoft fought and BORROWED for?

the Obama budget director went on 3 national tv shows and flat out lied. Did not misquote the truth – or didn’t know the meaning of the word “is” but LIED pure and simple. Not once, not twice but 3 (possibly 4) times. A guy who’s been budget director under Clinton and now the big stink – knows you need only 50 votes for passage of a budget – yet keep saying the republicans won’t pass a budget. Pure and simple – a lie. I don’t recall seeing Obama asking Scary Harry to bring it to the floor in the senate for a vote? I must have missed that. Let’s just bring it to the floor for a vote and see how  many spine-less democrats pull a Obama and vote present or not at all. We can not continually spend money we don’t have and we can’t let everyone else in the world drill & mine for oil and energy resources while we do NOTHING.  It’s just plain stupid.

*cough* grover

Newt Gingrich created the balanced budget and a surplus.  The Bent One was dragged along fighting it kicking and screaming, then when proved out, he claimed credit for said surplus.

Right then: corporations were paying 92% of their income over to taxes. And lived at the center of the earth.

Why don’t you go and dig up some old tax code and prove me wrong… I am sure, I also know of a family who was in the manufacturing business back in the 60′s and 70′s one of the top ten producers of auto radiators in the country, they had a second warehouse that was used for off the book transactions….  Why don’t you keep to cheerleading for the president, seems to be what you are best at.  

You wouldn’t know a reasoned argument if it bit you on the ass. Try us! Please regale us with a few of your “pearls” of wisdom! What an asshat, we’ll keep waiting for even ONE fact from you.

Damn! I posted a great reply to this (imho, of course) and now its disappeared! WTF??

Most Americans don’t agree with you: 
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/february_2012/52_say_gop_agenda_in_congress_is_extreme

You need to calm youself, teabagger. You’re liable to hurt yourself.

Uh, thanks for proving my point, you are a poster child liberal, nuff said.

It’s time for all republicans to call out the left main stream media who continue to prop up Obama. These Obama water carriers are a joke.

O’brien is a soul sista to Obama in more ways than one

 NorthEndTavern,
  I would suggest that you sign up for the Newsmax letter. They almost daily show that 40% of US Households pay Zero in taxes, and it’s not the poor that aren’t paying taxes. It’s the rich who make more than $200,000 that aren’t paying taxes.

 That leaves 7% for the number of the poor who don’t pay taxes.

The CBPP is non-partisan?

Try again, Soledad…

 Read the thing all the way through Pablo..
GOP figures don’t add up. They’ll increase the deficit by $4 Trillion by not ending the Bush Tax Cuts. Sure way to fix the budget mess. Lower taxes on the wealthy…I know that was supposed to cause a increase in job numbers as well as annual salary’s for the average American. But you are aware that the increase over the full eight years only add $750 to the Average American’s salary. Barely taking it from $50K to less than $51K. The weakest showing of wages growth since the Great Depression.

 The alternative is to give it to a Crony-Capitalist Corrupt Political system called the Federal Government.

 Bush was head of the RINO’s with the Democrats favorite GOP Doormat, John McCain.
Now McCain’s daughter sold her integrity to the Media Matters outlet, MSNBC!

Yet another “unbiased” interview from Soledad O’Gotcha!

So this is what you are going with?  Hindrocket’s powerpoint at the Kochsuckers meeting? 

I look forward to your complete meltdown on Nov. 7th. 

 And here all these years…I thought it was the President that prepared an annual Budget..Well maybe not him but someone in the OMB just like David Stockman did for Reagan.

How many highways has Wal-Mart built? Figure out how many millions they’ve paid in fuel and road use taxes and we can work that out.

Good let Norway, Switserland and Germany get their own military then.
Also check out how they handle immigration.You are talking Oranges and apples comparison with the USA.
How the socialist doing in Ireland, Portugal, Spain,Greece and the UK and France?

why YES the CBPP is non-partisan…except for when the democrats are in charge and then the GOP whines about it.  But when THEY are in charge we’re back to ‘non-partisan’.  That being said, Toomey is a jerk.  Always was, always will be.  He and his bud Grover Norquist spend their time putting people down that don’t agree with him.  Even armed with ‘facts’ he says they are ‘ridiculous’.  And then when something passes that has his prints all over it he says it is ‘new’. 

They’re not? You enjoy listening to your Zune?

Jjjjack you posted lies prove them correct.
to to to today

You know after readin all the liberal post.They have me convinced.
I’m for Obama budget.
Lets all write to Harry Reid to tell him to put up for a vote we should be able to get it passed with 53 dems in the senate.
What do you say my friends on the left? C’mon let all get together and get it voted on.
Whats the worry. C’mon let write to Harry and lean forward and win the future with President Obama.
Are you with me? Lets get the budget voted on.

BooBoo Bear “I thought it was the President that prepared an annual Budget..Well maybe not him but someone in the OMB just like David Stockman did for Reagan”.
Then you don’t know spit, the prez preposes, the congress disposes. 

Well, maybe we should call it the “Romney Rule” instead of the Buffet rule then, because we know for sure that Mitt’s secretary paid a higher tax rate than him. 

Sysprog, you’re confusing the CBO (non-partisan) with the CBPP (the Left’s answer to Heritage/Cato).

Soledad’s questioning would have been just as silly as if she had said “The non-partisan National Rifle Association described your position this way…”

yep, you’re right.  Cut off the FIRST sentence…

 That’s DNC Operative and Media Matters congregant O’Brien!

The long suspected collusion between mainstream media outlets and the Obama White House has now been documented!

Never trust today’s Media Matters-spawned “Mainstream News Media”

 The bigger question is how much did those Walmart stores cost the taxpayers of his state. Since most employee’s are part time. And they have a low income they are eligible for Medicaid and their children for SCHIP. For each member of those households the State is forking over up to $4500 a year.

If you want to know who has caused Americans to lose jobs…look in the mirror.
It’s your weekly trip to Walmart to buy all those Chinese made items, that put Americans out of work.

A budget is subject to a fillibuster. To invoke cloture, you need 60 votes to proceed.

Hey Pork Chops get Obama’s Truth Team working on how you liberal water carriers do not carry Obamas buckets for him. 

Wow, republicans sure get mad when they’re not allowed to lie on national tv.

Wow, republicans sure get mad when they’re not allowed to lie on national tv.

I’ll say it again.  Conservatives should not lend themselves to this “D” list news babe who’s pretty stupid. 
 

look at the expression on soledad’s face-it says it all–she has her mind already made up and “nary” a conservative had better  dispute it-how silly for a supposed news reporter

So you agree that two unnecessary, expensive wars and a very very costly social program significantly causes the crisis. So what the hell is that supply side nonsense about? If the wars and Medicare part D and No Child Left Behind like programs were there, we would have been fine with the tax cuts. Liberals have to decide which is wrong.

Soledad sure does have those Obama talking points memorized – I wonder if she gets a bonus from the WH when she does this.  Wouldn’t surprise me one bit – CNN, in the pocket of HeHimselfTheOne, willingly, adoringly.

CNN not to be trusted – they are the complete nonsense network.

She gave the institute that did the research. All Toony did was say she was wrong.
Again, what was she wrong about?

Read the study, everything in that list is correct.

Only 20 out of 23 are fake likes.  

All seven guests like you.  

Norbit why does it seem almost all of your likes are done by anonymous guests? 

12 anonymous guests like your b.s. 

 Milton was right all along.

You forgot when Boehner and the President came to an agreement to cut 4.4Trillon from the deficit despite not having the requested increase in tax on the wealthy. Boehner ran away when the light bulb finally went on over his head and backed off because it cut social security and that elder vote was his base. He openly stated it would cost the Republican Tea Party votes. Courage to validate RTP demands not his stong point huh?

The offer was made! The Republican Tea Party tucked tail and ran. How quickly its forgotten by them!

It makes think they not smart or look good!

You do realize that websites like  LiberalBias.Net have dis-proven that most of the media has a liberal bias…..

What can I say? I’m the life of the party!

And how’s that supply-side “trickle down” working out for us? It didn’t work in Chile, its not working here. Damn, how much more evidence does it take for you guys to admit it?

Its interesting you put so much stock in Government, as a whole…

But you commented, “How many highways has Wal Mart Built”…When Wal-Mart goes into a Community, to build a store, they often have to “improve” the local roads (infrastructure) to go in:
    Case in Point-Clearlake, California.
     Clearlake is lake surrounded by two or three small cities-I would call them towns, and when Wal-Mart went back in 1993-1994 to open a store there, the company had to improve the area for the store and outlying businesses (the strip mall, McDonalds…you get the picture)…and they paid for the stop lights and road improvements to handle the traffic.

So, I would say, after living there for almost 3 years, the improvements coupled with commerce that Wal-Mart brought in, helped the area residents and certainly encouraged tourism. 

What that means is MONEY. When money flows, communities prosper. 

You basically have no real knowledge on Wal-Mart; you should refrain from commenting about the company until you come back with FACTS.  

Well, the word is defiCITS, not defiits. And, You better take a look at the deficit and how much its grown since Obama has been in office. 

Obama took everything, from all the previous administrations and what? Doubled it? Tripled it?

And you are right, the economy did grow under Clinton, but, now give a little thought to this…How was congress packed, at the time? 

Why would you worry about what Mitt Romney paid?

You have Warren Buffet, who owes taxes on his company from 2002-2009-and he’s fighting the IRS about how much he will pay, while the stupid “Buffet Rule” is being touted.

Romney paid what he owed. 

Spewing the Left Wing spackle of the day, are we?

What War on Contraception?…What? What? Lets see, abortion is legal, a woman can get a prescription for the “pill”, diaphragms are legal, condoms are handed out in schools now, and not only can a female get birth control in an insert in her arm that lasts for months, there is this thing called the morning after pill.

War on Gay rights? Gays have every right as a human as I do. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

War on Women’s Choice? That war was won (or lost) back in the 80′s…We have a choice…Frankly, the first one would be to not have sex with guys like You. 

Choice is here. There is no war. Get over it. 

want to re-read the story and figure out who lied? lol
It’s pretty easy to check…

Get back to us when you have your facts.

It’s not “Obama talking points”, Tina Tampon, it’s facts.

No, what’s “silly” is that Toomey came on the air and lied about his own proposals.

It is indeed easy to check. Toomey lied.

Maybe because liberals don’t try to lie to her.

Because every time a budget has been brought to the Senate, Republicans filibuster it. You need 60 votes to stop that. Not 50.

Also, you can’t pass anything with 50 votes. You need 51 even when there’s not a filibuster.

Exactly. The GOP wants to cut taxes for the rich and raise them for the poor. In their warped minds, somehow this makes sense.

It’s the Red States that rely on Blue State tax money to function. Nearly every Red State takes more from the federal government than it pays out in taxes.

No Norbit, the GOP tax plans would simply reduce what the rich pay, and increase what the poor pay. 

The braindead Leftists can argue and keep blaming Bush, as they always do, but the fact is – Obama is a total failure, not only as a leader and President, but as a person.  When Obama speaks, mostly lies come pouring out.  Obama could care less about America or Americans, Obama is for himself and himself only, but he does love the fools who worship him, and that is what they are – FOOLS!  Buy Weapons, Buy Ammo, Stock Food and Water, Prepare!  If Obama wins in November, you can be guarenteed the whores son will win only thru FRAUD!

O’Brien said “proposals we’re not arguing over”?  Hello, a reporter is not supposed to be arguing over any of it – nobody gives a fig about the reporter’s viewpoint.  Should not be part of the interview at all.  

Your last sentence was vile and distasteful.  I might have agreed with your first couple of sentences but your ending made me realize that I don’t like you, therefore I don’t agree with anything you have to say.  

You’re ugly through and through.  

check on the “facts” cal.  The fact that Obama lied?  Yup, that is a fact.  

What did she say that was wrong? 

Woah..woah…woah. That’s a little too much info for an idiot teahadist to absorb. In their feeble little minds, all Democrats in the senate vote in unison on ALL issues since they are servile Obama sycophants.. 

Does not matter that she uses CBPP in THIS case. Toomey came in with “facts” generated by Heritage. Not to mention CBO and the CRS — actual non partisan outfits actually do support Soledad’s premise.

Since it seems you have your head in the sand, I guess you’re not aware of the fact that Obama has doubled – in less than 4 years – the Bush debt of 8 years.  And, according to his newest “budget” plan, he intends to increase it by at least another third by the year 2012 (over $20 trillion dollars.)

You’re very lame in continuing to put the blame on Bush.  It is what it is.  Obama is on a deliberate path to bring down this nation’s economy.  That’s why he won’t be relected in November.

Bush and the Republicans added $6.5 trillion to the national debt 2001-fy2009 (don’t forget that fy 2009 budget deficit projected by the CBO before Obama took office).  If Obama had ‘doubled – in less than 4 years’ the Republican debt our national debt would be sitting pretty at $25 trillion.  You’re very lame in continuing to put the blame on Obama.  It is what the Republicans did on a deliberate path to make this nation a 3rd world nation.  The most fearful words an American might ever hear are, “I’m a Republican and I’m here to help.”

Not believing ANYTHING a person says because you don’t like him is just as stupid as voting for a candidate because of his race.
Judgiing by your idiotic reaction I am betting you did just that in 2008.

Unless you have the facts to back that assertion up….it is you who lies.

“There are people who say….” Translation: “I’m a liberal faking I’m a journalist and I don’t like this…”

If you had any regard for facts; you would be aware of obummers failures, his war on Christianity; his attacks against our Constitution; and his fondness for lying at every opportunity.
So you obviously would not recognize a fact if it bit you on the nose; or you would say something so incredibly stupid, nor would you attempt to defend Obummer.

Here you go again cal defending the indefensable. Tilt at windmills much lately?

I knew it. I knew I could drag you out by answering back to Pablo.
hahahahaha How is congress packed now? You are scary hahahahahaha Pablo clone. Go back to your hole!
hahahahaha you are too funny. Spelling always did bother Pablow

…My best friend’s mother-in-law makes $63/hr on the computer. She has been laid off for 8 months but last month her paycheck was $4607 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read more on this web site…._C_a_s_h_M_a_n_y_._c_o_m_……………http://alturl.com/427dt

I leave the tilting at windmills to right-wing nutcases. Birthers and the like.

The reporter’s certainly supposed to argue when the senator lies to her. Unfortunately, most reporters just let politicians lie with impunity.

You’re the one who has no regard for facts, hence your lies you just posted. I mean, seriously, “war on Christianity”? Like Jon Stewart said, you’re confusing “war on Christianity” with not always getting things you way.

Donny,
     So glad I bring humor to your day!:) Everyone needs a little comic relief now and then. 

Gotcha!

NO, YOU’RE IT!

Moving on now…

You need to stop the economic gimmicks. Yes, we know that Obama is an expert at it, but PLEASE take a 2nd look at your math because it makes absolutely no sense.
You claim that Bush added $6.5 trillion to the national debt over an 8 year period. Obama has easily doubled that in less than 3 years which puts the debt at about $13 trillion. Given continued Obama spending at the same rate (God help us) over an additional 4 years, the debt would be at around $20 trillion. Your estimate of $25 trillion makes no sense . . . where in the world did you come up with that number?
It was the Dems that started the downward spiral and eventual crash of our economy. It actually began with the 1977 Carter Community Reinvestment Act in a move to increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers. This required Fannie Mae to ease credit requirements on loans purchased from banks and other financial institutions, resulting in a huge increase of loans to under-qualified customers. This, in turn, caused an unprecedented explosion of foreclosures, ending with the eventual collapse of the entire U.S. housing market. Unfortunately, warning signs such as in the following New York Times article were ignored: _http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/30/business/fannie-mae-eases-credit-to-aid-m ortgage-lending.html_ (http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/30/business/fannie-mae-eases-credit-to-aid-mortgage-lending.html) Bush, as well as other Republicans, voiced their concerns about the possibility of such a collapse during the 1990′s, but they fell to the deaf ears of ranking Congressional democrats such as Barney Frank and Chris Dodd,
who outright denied the existence of any problems in the
credit/banking/housing market.
So, who was really responsible for the 2008 economic collapse?
Unquestionably it was the democrats. And, unfortunately, the failed policies of the
Obama administration over the last 3 1/2 years have only made things a
great deal worse.
Your comment about blaming Obama is ridiculous. Just who, exactly, has
been in charge of our country for the last 3 1/2 years? Common sense alone
will tell you that Obama is totally responsible for the policies he’s
enforced over that time. I’m not sure what you mean by a “3rd world nation,” but
those of us who aren’t fooled by the deception of this administration are
fully aware of its intentions to transform our free country into a
socialist, nanny-state government . . . similar to those European countries that
are now collapsing after years of entitlement governing.
Why in the hell would anyone want to give this president another
opportunity to continue the destruction of our great nation? Hopefully, there aren
’t many like you out there!
