G.O.P. Leaders in House Pull Tax Bill, Citing Lack of Votes[W: 414]

Re: G.O.P. Leaders in House Pull Tax Bill, Citing Lack of Votes

Yes. Do you know which from among 2011, 2012, and 2013 numbers in a 2013 budget are estimated?


Your claim was that the defense budget has never been more than it is today and that is over 700 billion. Obviously, you goofed that up on both counts.


LOL!

Just kidding. You can't have any.

Get some help reading the Treasury website as the Defense budget is over 700 billion today. No libertarian would ever support this President and his massive spending.

I thought it was congress that did the spending.

Apparently only when a Democrat is in the WH since Bush gets the blame for the debt that occurred during his term. You see Bush failed during Hurricane Katrina but it was Congress that failed under Hurricane Sandy. Have you figured how it works now? By the way, still waiting for you to admit you were wrong regarding the 600 billion being a 10 year projection and not a yearly income projection as you claimed?

You are that old and know so little? Amazing, looks to me like a real cry for school vouchers.
School vouchers have consistently failed to deliver what backers promise. They are a proven loser -- a waste of time and money.

For years people contribute to SS, SS was spent(borrowed from intergovt. holdings and replaced with IOU's) and when these people retire and there are not enough workers to fund their retirement the govt. will print or borrow money to repay the IOU's and people like you have no problem with it. Sad when someone your age shows how little you know about the budget, deficits, debt
This is called investing surplus funds so as to earn interest and allow the the funds to grow. This thas been a common practice for at least 500 years. Do you do any investing, or do you just keep hoards of cash in an old coffee can?

You call govt spending on operations an investment? I do invest and have made a lot of money investing in ventures that actually generate a return, not print or borrow money to pay for a return on that investment. You seem to not understand that IOU's have to be funded and have no concept where that money is going to come from. when you invest in a private business and get a return there is no doubt where that money comes from.

I coulda sworn you were talking about the fella that got sworn in today instead of george the second.

The fellow that got sworn in today has added more debt than any other President in history with no plan to lower it. He is exactly a liberal's dream. Spending in the name of compassion is all that matters to a liberal regardless of never getting compassionate results. 600 billion over 10 years or 600 billion a year?

He hasn't added a dime to the billl/debt.this(112th Congress) do nothing congress is responsible for the bill/debt but when the bill comes to the table the donothings/deadbeats point BO's way and say hand him the bill.

Interesting how Congress was under the control of Democrats from January 2007-January 2011 but according to you it was when the GOP took the House that all the debt was created. Interesting how that happened. What did the Democrats in control of Congress do from 2007-2011?

Count the silent filibusters (reed better straighten this syit out post haste) that started when the 112th took over. It all started four years ago when Bo was celebrating his inauguration the wingers were Cabaled up,scheming of ways to submarine his presidency at a private dinner in Washington.

Ever consider writing fiction? You are out of touch with reality. Does a filibuster prevent the Democrats from submitting a budget? Did a filibuster prevent Democrats from repealing the Prescription Drug bill that you claim caused debt? Did a filibuster prevent Democrats from ending the War in Iraq and Afghanistan? I cannot believe someone your age is so poorly informed and yet so partisan.

You can pass a bill with a simple majority in the senate but to pass a budget you need the cooperation of the house. That went to hell inna hand basket in 2010 when the baggers arrived.

So when was the last budget submitted by the Senate? You continue to show that you don't have a clue

Instead of playing ten thousand questions why don't you actually put something on the table....

If I put anything on the table it would be the only thing on that table since the Senate has shirked their responsibility which of course Obama supporters ignore.

Buying US Treasury securities is an investment. That's why banks and insurance companies and money market funds and foreign governments all over the world do it, and that's why Social Security does it as well. At the end of last month, SSTF was sitting on $2,733 billion in Treasury bonds maturing bertween now and 2027 and earning an average interest rate of 3.86%.

I do invest and have made a lot of money investing in ventures that actually generate a return, not print or borrow money to pay for a return on that investment.
Which of your fabulously successful investments was rated more safe and secure that US Treasury securities?

[PS. There are two things American males can be counted on to lie about: 1) How good they are in bed, and 2) What savvy and successful investors they are.]

You seem to not understand that IOU's have to be funded and have no concept where that money is going to come from.
Well, I've been tracking it for better than four decades, so I know full well that the redemption of all Treasury securities is funded by selling some new ones. This is apparently a novel idea to some.

when you invest in a private business and get a return there is no doubt where that money comes from.
Ever invested with Bernie Madoff?

Budgets are submitted by the President. Typically on the first Monday in February. It is you who has no clue.

Under the normal budget process that Republicans have of course stymied, BOTH the Hosue and Senate would develop a non-binding budget resolution based on the President's budget that apportioned spending guidelines among the various committees of jurisdiction. These and their subcommittees would draft a series of a dozen separate pieces of authorizing and appropriating legislation. Once passed on the floor, the respective House and Senate bills would go through a conference committee to iron out any differences, the final agreed bill would be re-passed by both houses, and it would then be sent to the President for signature or veto. That's how things are supposed to work, but Republicans don't play that game anymore.

Please take a civics course and stop making a fool of yourself. Please tell me this is an act and you really aren't this poorly informed.

When has the Senate presented that resolution? How many votes did the President's budget get? Answer, the Senate hasn't presented a budget resolution in three years and the President's budget got zero votes. Now that is real leaderhship which partisans blame on the Republicans. Just goes to show what idiots Obama supporters are.
