NEWSFLASH: the Dems are in power, YOU MORON!! The Defense budget was increased every year since that loser Obama was sworn in!! The Defense budget for FY2012 is slated to ring in at 710 Billion DOLLARS PLUS supplemental war spending. That's the HIGHEST IN RECORDED HISTORY!! Arguing Blue over Red is a FOOLS GAME, because the same Corporations that own the Right, own the Left, you moron. That's why nothing changes, you moron. That's why Democrats haven't turned this Country around in the past xx years they've held the Oval Office, you moron. Corporations run this country, you moron. Not "parties", you partisan hack. You're just another idiot who can't see through the left-right paradigm and realize both sides are controlled by the same Fortune 100 Corporations that bankroll their elections! You subscribe to the infantile delusion that the Left is run by a bunch of angels and the Right, trolls who live under your bed. Grow the fuck up!!! You're an old man, for fucks sakes. 99% of the motherfuckers in Congress and the White House are SNAKES selling you what you want to hear to get your vote, then FUCK YOU when they get into power. That's how it works, shithead. THEY ARE SNAKES and LIARS. As for the tax cuts, you're a fucking idiot. Seriously, the tax cuts are diddly piss. The deficit is over 1.2 Trillion a year. The "tax cuts" the left continually moan and bitch about are 250 Billion a year. About 20% of the total deficit. Btw, the deficit is actually much, much higher but thanks to Bernacke (who Obama confirmed), the rapidly expanding FED balance sheet has removed the 'paper' deficit by a few hundred billion. I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine. Even your post drips with loser democratic victomology rhetoric. Excuses for everything. If-Bush-didn't-do-this-then-Obama-could-have-done-that garbage. Obama held the White House for the past 4 years and DID JACK SHIT. Clinton for 8 and he did JACK SHIT. Obama, that sword swallowing dick muncher, could have enacted a whole slew of taxes regardless, but instead, wanted to make a political football out of the Bush Tax cuts, because its suits his class warfare agenda, that gets mileage with the losers who buy into that shit. Obama has passed the largest and most proliferate budgets in history! You call that a good try?! Listen, if the Bush tax cuts never passed, we'd still be about 1.4-1.6 Trillion dollars a year in the motherfucking hole. What has Obama done about that? Jack shit. What did Bush do about it? Jack shit. What will Romney do about it? Jack shit. See a pattern here, dick wad?
I agree. Ron Paul or Gary Johnson. We need a Libertarian in Office that will absolutely gut the Federal budget, taxes, departments. America is going bankrupt, you fucking idiots.
wow what are you about 18 years old.? mentally at least. clinton left with the closest thing to a surplus we will ever see. then your boy bush used his magical powers destroy the economy. i understand why you dimwitted types like to claim both sides are the same so you can deflect blame. we have to understand the cause before we can devise a fix. the rest of your rantings are too infantile to respond to.
The cause? You wouldn't know what the cause was if it took a dump on your face. But please, humor us. You're way out of your league here, son. But go on. We're all ears. What's "the cause". And how do we "fix this"? Post up or go back to the basement, where you belong.
Fat chance! Americans are too greedy and stupid to vote for what we really need. "We all know what needs to be done. We just can't figure out how to get reelected once we've done it."-- JP Juncker (PM of Luxembourg)
Two things. Don't post your worthless political claptrap in the economics forum. This is a forum where people use their brains, and exchange ideas, not links to Huffington Post and Mediamatters to advance their partisan bias. Second, I don't support Romney (or Bush). I made that abundantly clear in each and everyone of my posts. Had you bothered to read any of them (which you said you did (which makes you a liar and a troll)), you would have known that. Last, if you're going to engage me, use that worthless sack of shit between your ears you call a brain. Formulate a cogent thought without googling MSNBC or the other media losers you rely on to do tell how to think. Leave your P&R shit where it belongs. Don't bring that shit here or I'll get the mods to delete your posts. You're like a cancer on these boards spamming your worthless shit until the boards are intolerable.
"So what we really ought to do is admit that Keynesian economics is just an excuse for easy money, overspending, and overconsuming. We ought to just admit that the government is a debt junkie. and the whole concept of deficit spending is flawed in practice. [...] The theory is fine, it just doesn't work in the real world." (Richard Dennis in "Market Wizards", 1989)
