LOL this is the funniest post of the night
I dont know about funny, but certainly the most ridiculous in a looooooong time.

This 'far righter' supports social spending at the state level, increased taxes with mandated spending cuts to pay down the debt, decreased spending on the military, and individual rights, including the right to abortion. Nice try, Mr 'Moderate'... :lamo:lamo:lamo
Oh, my, the horrow of it all!! You evil rightwinger!No wonder the country is going to hell in a handbasket with thought s like that, ROFLMAO! States' rights? How dare you put responsibility back at the state level! We all know that Federal Bureaucrats in D.C. know what is best for the state and local communities.
Your worship of obama is touching but Obama's rant yesterday was nothing more than a silly campaign speech long on bashing Bush and short on courage. It was also filled with lies such as his crap from his anus claiming that the middle class doesn't benefit from certain "loopholes" (Like the Mortgage deduction)
4 empty talking points from Fox News + 1 unoriginal Strawman. IMO you basically just copy/pasted something you heard on right-wing media, however have no real understanding of the subject matter. Prove me wrong.
Can you back anything up with a deeper analysis--be more specific, show us you really understood what the President said. Show the 'bashing Bush' language and explain why it was not a fair criticism of policy.
Give us example of "lies" -- please include links to fact checks or evidence.
Your vague and meaningless talking point posts continue to back up what I believe to be the truth about you.
Thats the funny part...I make no bones about my right wing status...Im VERY conservative...Im an extremist. I believe in personal and government fiscal accountability. I believe most elected democrats exist by exploiting workers...providing handout programs that do just enough to keep poor people poor and then pull back that support if anyone dares to begin to do well on their own. I support others rights...even rights I disagree with. Im as repulsed by the out of control republican spending as I am about the democrat spending. I'm disgusted by whiny bitches that spend the bulk of their life rolling on their back and pee on themselves complaining about what others have achieved and place virtually no effort or attention to their own failings, and I dare to believe that most of those people COULD actually be successful if they just believed in themselves and not the message that they cant...and its ok...its not their fault...and government should force rich successful people to take care of them. Im a very bad bad man.

What really scares me is that it seems that many of those spouting the big central govt. rhetoric here are young, inexperienced and being spoon fed by someone that big govt. is responsible for individual responsibility issues. Hopefully that is not the education system today but I am afraid it is. It is quite scary when 47% of the people in this country don't pay any federal income taxes meaning that 53% fund the Federal Govt. Think those not paying any Federal Income taxes have any problem raising taxes on the other 53% that do? The best way to create permanent power is to give people what they need and thus keep them dependent. Dependent people are growing in numbers thanks to Democrat social policy. The Obama brainwashing has convinced people that tax cuts are an expense to the govt. when tax cuts actually take away govt. power.
President Barack Obama anchored his State of the Union address with a call for increasing investments in areas such as education, infrastructure and innovation — targeted spending he said would help create jobs and strengthen the country while the administration also tackled ballooning budget deficits.
He spoke in epic terms as he described America’s challenge to “win the future” after a period of economic turmoil.
“This is our generation’s Sputnik moment,” Obama said in January. “We know what it takes to compete for the jobs and industries of our time. We need to outinnovate, outeducate and outbuild the rest of the world.”
But in recent weeks, Republicans have shifted the conversation in an entirely different direction. Instead of talking about small increases to select programs, Washington is preoccupied with preserving existing programs from cuts at every turn.
As Obama celebrated the budget compromise he struck with Republicans, the soaring Sputnik rhetoric had vanished. Instead, he emphasized programs that Democrats had “protected” from GOP cuts.
“Beginning to live within our means is the only way to protect those investments that will help America compete for new jobs,” Obama said last week. “We protected the investments we need to win the future.”
tax cuts do take away government power
our present economic strife will be nothing compared to what we will go thru if confidence in the dollar is lost.
Toxic Dollar
Traders Short Dollar as Currency Loses Attraction
what are the slasher's solutions?
leadership, anyone?

without adequate revenues the government would not be able to defend our nation
without adequate revenues the government would not be able to offer assistance to those who are without the ability to care for themselves
without adequate revenues the government would be unable to educate our next generation to assure we remain globally competitive
without adequate revenues the government government would be unable to install, maintain and replace critical infrastructure essential to the economic life of our nation
what seems lost on those in the reich wing is that to once again realize a revenue surplus would be a good thing, so that we could show the world our economic house is in order and thus preserve the integrity of the US dollar. and this is vitally important. no one on these boards was around when the dollar was not the dominant international currency. few seem to have an appreciation for the massive advantage that currency domination gives our nation. our present economic strife will be nothing compared to what we will go thru if confidence in the dollar is lost. that $100 bill we print for a few pennies yields a huge equity - and a huge international economic advantage ... an advantage which will be forever lost if the profligate spending of the democrats AND republicans does not come to an end. that inappropriate spending includes the giving of tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires at a time when we have to borrow money from other nations to operate our government's essential functions
Every time you drive your car and fill up with gasoline you pay excise taxes on gasoline, that is to fund the roads and infrastructure. You really need to get better educated about the role of the Federal and State Governments as well as where your tax dollars go.
And have you driven recently? Roads and infrastructure aren't exactly in good shape. At least not here, there's major city streets that are down to the cobblestones in Minneapolis. I'm not joking, at 42nd St. and Cedar Ave you can see the old streetcar tracks. We're off-roading in the middle of a major American city.
That isn't a revenue problem that is a spending problem, Excise taxes like SS have been put on budget and have been spent as part of total govt. spending. Neither are spending as intended and that is the point
I know, I'm just sick of blowing out my car's suspension every time I drive the kids to school.

Right, it gives people more money so they don't need that so called govt. "help."tax cuts do take away government power
Obama looks to be ‘owning’ to me.
a heavy progressive income tax and death tax are planks in the communist manifesto.
life is unfair but governments that try to punish the prosperous to make the ne'er do wells feel better are cancerous

Beyond that, the tax code is also loaded up with spending on things like itemized deductions. And while I agree with the goals of many of these deductions, from homeownership to charitable giving, we can’t ignore the fact that they provide millionaires an average tax break of $75,000 but do nothing for the typical middle-class family that doesn’t itemize. So my budget calls for limiting itemized deductions for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans -- a reform that would reduce the deficit by $320 billion over 10 years.
it was in his most recent address
restore fiscal soundness
I'm with you, brother. Can I get an Amen......
