It's funny hoe the GOP act like children, refusing to do ANYTHING until they get exactly what they want.

Funny how the lame ducks buck them at every turn.



Oh and those dip****s that decided to 'keep certain provisions' of the healthcare bill .... your on notice.

[GoldenRivet]

Wouldnt want to rope in some of the zillions of dollars in unchecked spending would we?

way to go Democrats

Two wrongs don't make a right wake.

there's a difference between blocking EVERY BILL in congress and not recognizing one speaker once.

and all the congressional action in the world wont make two turds in a bucket if our nation is completely and totally flat broke.

well letting the bush tax cuts expire for the rich would help with the deficit now wouldn't?

guess who wants to get the deficit under control, but at the same time only wants to cut programs instead of asking the uber rich to pony up.




also relevant (at about 5:00):

Guess where the jobs for the uber middle class come from?

DING DING DING DING

the Uber rich!

sorry, but as much as both sides claim that they want the government to be funded and the budget to be balanced and the debt to be reduced each has different ways of doing it.

sticking the screws to the Uber rich - even if you taxed them at 99% is not going to reduce the debt.

the alternative is cutting the budget and eliminating some $900,000,000,000 a year in BS

the dems have their answer and the GOP has it's answer to the budget issues...

the GOP wants to, you know... cut the budget. tighten the belt. like responsible families do at home when things get tight. Sometimes you have to give up golf and steak dinners for a while.

the Dems want to leave the budget the same and go across town and simply take money from the guys in the bigger houses and continue to play golf and eat steak.

It just don't work that way.

Sounds like exactly what the electorate was looking for. The GOP is looking out for all the people when it wants to extend the Bush tax cuts for everyone.

Perhaps in the short term.

However in the long term it will crush small buisness and end up with the reduction in gains.

Though maybe thats the objective in the first place.

Enough with this class envy crap.

All i can say is, i had a hell of a lot more green in my pocket from "Bush" tax cuts (like it was HIS idea in the whole of history) than i do right now.

virtually every single act on the part of the federal government over the past two years has only served to the detriment of business in America.

It's funny how some people are so caught up in being right that they never actually discuss the issues, just make fun of "the other side".

It's also funny how a whole party in congress can be so caught up with getting power, that they'll block EVERY bill at the american people's expense.

But isn't congress the bucket and the two parties the turds?

[Growler]

*sigh*

When did it become OK for there to be any form of parliamentary or executive government to be a "lame duck" in the first place?

WTH, people! We're PAYING THEM stupid amounts of money and EXPECTING NOTHING from them? Congress, President - really? We're arguing over tax cuts when we're GIVING THEM OUR TAX DOLLARS for accomplishing NOTHING.

Well played, America. Let's TOTALLY avoid looking at the issue that's right in front of us.

For every time i had a politician tell me that.

pity there are those that still believe it.

Everything that goes down on capital hill affects the normal citizen.



do you know why why they call it capital hill?

because every turd dumped out up there rolls down it... right onto YOU
