shygye Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 The GOP is 100% for huge deficit spending. They doubled the debt in 8 years and placed us in a depression! Yep, those great GOP leaders in Congress sure are savvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 600,000 lost jobs in the USA last month! Time for the pols to get off their dead azz and get things moving...WTF!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 This group of "pols"? If they got off their asses, not only would they see how f'ed up their response has been, but removing their heads from their asses, they might come to their senses and realize that things will taken care of themselves. People will continue to lose their houses no matter what they do. Banks will fail and new ones will emerge smarter and stronger, no matter what the "pols" do. People will get sick and recover. Those who are in really bad shape will get assistance at the local level...not from some faceless, "blameless" group of "pols" or by "hope". People will buy cars when they can afford them, and not when they think they "deserve" one. While some here liked to take shots at the Bush Administration as one which was encroching on certain "rights", I've got news for them: your guy Barry and his cohorts in the present Congress are moving at lightening speed to centralizing authority in this country and people are increasingly abdicating their personal responsibilities to Big Brother--Brother Obama. The increases under the GOP were mainly due to the war in Iraq. The increases under this Adminsitration will be to expand socialism through a so-called "stimulus" plan. It's a fucking give-way to residents, but mostly a pork barrel of bullshit. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 The GOP is 100% for huge deficit spending. They doubled the debt in 8 years and placed us in a depression! Yep, those great GOP leaders in Congress sure are savvy. Read somewhere that the dems tend to be tax and spend, where as the repubs tend to be spend and then tax...not sure which is worse. In any event, we can point all the fingers we want at either party, both are to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 The hypocrisy of the GOP leaders is amazing! Their only solution is to cut taxes on the rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 In case u haven't been following the dialogue about tax cuts that have been in the news, it was the GOP who (last week) proposed doing away with income taxes for those in the lowest two tax brackets. The Demos rejected that proposal. Nothing wrong with cutting taxes for the "rich". (Ask Daschle and the new Secretary of the Treasury.) Besides, everybody pays too much in taxes for what they get.

allistar Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I agree HH with most of what you say. But on your last point of Republicans calling for tax elimination for the bottom two tax groups, it is as old as the government itself the principle of proposing or voting for legislation that has a snowballs chance in hell's chance of passing. Its called posturing and both the Democrats and Republicans have done it when the other party is in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
