Poll: 71% shun GOP handling of debt crisis

ANYONE who thinks Obama is interested in stimulating America's capitalist economy is delusional. Obama's over-arching objective is to bankrupt America, and force it into Socialism, for purposes of shere survival as a nation. NEVER TRUST OBAMA. He's a devout Marxist, doing in his level-best to crash our economy.


He's a muslim, born in kenya or Nigeria or one of those African countries black people get born in and he is a socialist, communist, marxist, homoist, basketballist too!

You guys crack me up. Reagan raised the debt ceiling 17 times in his 8 years. Does that make him a marxist-ist-ist-ist-ist-ist?

Too funny.
 
The rag has never made a red cent, they are not accountable to anyone.

So we're through talking about who runs it and credibility and now on making money... were you a Washinton Times investor Petey?
 
Seems Boehner is working just as hard as Obama on those links ...

When the President invites you to golf, you go. I guess you would have said no then huh? :lamo
 
Honestly it seems pretty clear at this point that the GOP wants to collapse the country so they can blame the Democrats... But I don't see how that could possibly work for them. Way too many people see right through it as the poll in the OP makes obvious.

Or maybe it's more of a mix. Some of them want to collapse the country, others are literally as stupid as they are acting... I dunno.

See that's the funny part... the country won't collapse.

Did you ever think that Obama understands that the economy is in the toilet and wants to be able to find a scapgoat.

Good grief. Ever occur to you that the Dems are trying to "collapse the country"? What makes the Dems correct in dealing with the issue? Seems all are playing politics.

I don't know man. The Democrats have been compromising like crazy, but the Republicans just walk away from the table no matter what the Democrats offer. They've offered $3 trillion in cuts with no revenues and they've offered $4 trillion in cuts with some revenues... But the Republicans still walk away. It's pretty obvious they don't want a deal at this point.

Nope. Not if the price is that the rich get pissed. They will sell every last one of us down the river for their wealthy buddies.

Actually, they offered $300billion/year with no revenues and $400billion/year with revenues, in light of current increases in spending thats not even down to 2008 level of spending. Its a pathetically small amount of cuts really.

3trillion and 4 trillion are talking points, they do not in any way reflect a yearly amount.

Maybe to those that do not know how to divide?????????

Oh, Im sorry you actually thought they would be evenly divided? No, they are backloaded...like usual. Congressional word on spending cuts are horrible, hence why backloaded spending cuts arent worth the paper they are written on. The more there is upfront, the better.
 
When the President is behind it... yes.

Afraid that doesn't explain the same positions by the GOP for the last 30 years! :sun

That doesn't make sense without referencing something more specific.

Trickle down economics! What the budget debate is about.

That is sort of true. They make the budget out for 10 years, so that's what the cuts would be over 10 years, but they can always change their minds about anything past this year. Both parties are stating the numbers all in 10 year form though, and $4 trillion over 10 years is still higher than even most the Republican proposals so far. All of them except for some of the totally crazy-town ideas some of the teabaggers have floated are less than that. You can just reduce the deficit a lot more if you're using both the tools of revenues and spending cuts than you can with either one alone.

What about the rich Democrats (Pelosi comes to mind)? Seems they have not minded having the tax advantage over so many years.

What do you mean? Pelosi has been fighting to raise taxes on the rich including herself for decades. As loud as she possibly can...
