Poll: Debt ceiling deal should include cuts and tax increases

That's a big ass if. :lamo

So big that I can't even contemplate it.

Well, a monkey shoudl ahve been able to beat Bush in the second term election, but democrats picked Kerry. Republicans could pick Bachmann, and then you'll have Obama for a second term. It could happen. What then?

Bush didn't have 9% unemployment and rising, either. Bush didn't kill as many jobs as Obama. Bush isn't a Communist. Were you awake during the 2010 election?

You best get used to the fact that Obama isn't getting re-elected. He only got 53% of the popular vote--not exactly a landslide. He's lost that lead, big time.

Not yet. He was heading that way. And there are no communists here. Not Obama, not anyone. That kind of talk marks someone as a nutter, an unorignal nutter.

But, we will see. We will see. It all depends on who republicans choose. Democrats are praying you guys pick Palin or Bachman.

Why does Obama sound exactly like a Communist?

We sure will...we will see Obama flying his ass out of town on Marine 1.

get real! The Dems are just hoping that the Republicans don't get a filibuster proof majority. :rofl
 
"economic justice", and, "redistribution of wealth", are just my imagination?

Pretty much. Never underestimate the human ability to make anything souond like something else. I just wish those who did this were more original. These type of scare tatics are as old as the union.

So, Obama never said that?

Not the way you mean it, no. Like I said, never underestimate the human ability to twist anything to fit their own view. :coffeepap

Ohhhhhhh! Well, by all means, how the hell did he mean it? :rofl

I can't wait for this.
 
I think we all know what a recession is. We all recognize the recession that we're currently in.

You have already demonstrated you do not know what a recession is. Do the last two consecutive quarters show negative growth in GDP?

A new poll by CBS News shows a majority of Americans - Democrat, Independent and Republican - prefer a combination of spending cuts and tax increases as part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling. SO, when is the GOP going to catch up?

Ask Senator Tom Coburn.

The unemployment rate went up. Haven't you been telling us that that is a lagging indicator? Obviously, we're still in a recession.

Thanks confirming you do not know what a recession is! :sun

U.S. recession ended June 2009, NBER finds

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — "The U.S. recession that began in December 2007 ended in June 2009, making the 18-month slump the longest since the Great Depression, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research."

Stop!!! You made me spew beer all over my monitor.

Obama admitted, in December that we're still in a recession. Your Messiah said so, so that makes it gospel. Want me to post the quote?

Perhaps you wouldn't have slobbered if you had been aware the source I provided is who officially determines when we are in a recession. Carry on. :sun

Actually, I wouldn't have slobbered, had you not used a source whose numbers ended in February 11th 2011 to prove that the first two quarters--of 2011--showed positive growth.


It didn't even include the whole month of February. :lamo

Nice try at covering your mistake. You spewed your beer in your response to the NBER assessment that the recession ended in 2009. Did you forget already? Here it is again to remind you: http://www.debatepolitics.com/breaking-news-mainstream-media/104678-poll-debt-ceiling-deal-should-include-cuts-and-tax-increases-14.html#post1059671651

And this was from the person who hasn't provided any documentation to back up his claim that we are currently in a recession.

Let's just add "lagging indicator" to the list of things apdst has gotten wrong in this thread. It's amazing how one mistake is supported by another

If Obama said it, it must be true because everyone knows that Obama never lies, right apdst?
 
...am I correct you would accept some form of rasing taxes? In conjunction with greater cuts?
Timing is everything. In the past we got the tax increases immediately with the promise of spending cuts. The cuts never materialized. So let's do the opposite. Let's see all of the cuts now with a promise of tax increases sometime in the future.
