Republican Party, Teabag Party and the Libertarian Party absolutely SUCK!

[The Troll]

I am NOT bullshitting myself, in any way, shape or form Palehorse.  The democrats are infamous for spending money we don't have.....the "tea party" republicans was sent to washington, to STOP spending.  You may not agree that we should stop spending, but that is the extent of it.  There are NO other facts that are prevalent.  It is MY opinion, that if Obama had any ability to negotiate or sincerely had a desire to work with the "other side" as he campaigned on, he failed.  The first thing that came out of his mouth was telling the republicans to "get out of the way so we can clean up the mess"... "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,"

HE set the tone right off the bat, then whined when the republicans did not go along with ANY thing he wanted.

Those are the FACTS.

  So the Democrats are noted for spending money.  Please tell me, OH Great Historian, who was the last Republican president that left a surplus of  money when he left office.  Also Great Historian who were the Great Republican presidents that left a deficit greater that they had when they came in to office?  Huh? :genius"

  I think you will find that your statement that Democrats are great spenders is a figment or a fuse blown in your great brain on Democrat history. 

  Since we are taking about your great brain.  What did George W. do with all of that money that Bill Clinton left him and how big was his deficit.     I think you're thinking with the wrong end.  Your facts are shit.   

  As I have said many many times, Henry you don't know shit.

Hyperbole . . . 

Not even hyperbole...flat out fucking lies...from the self-righteous "christian".

So here's a question...the stock market is up and corporate profits are strong but unemployment is still high.  Is it possible that this trickle-down bullshit is just that?

[Henry Hawk]

When Obama took office, the economy was shrinking at roughly 8% annually. For most of Obama's term, it's been growing, as the chart here shows. In absolute terms, the economy is now $853 billion larger than it was before Obama was inaugurated. So, yes, we're better off.

The neocons must really hate facts.

Tell that to the 23,136,000 Americans that are unemployed or under employed.

Tell that to the 46,000,000 Americans that are on Food Stamps.

The Rich Get Even Richer

In 2010, as the nation continued to recover from the recession, a dizzying 93 percent of the additional income created in the country that year, compared to 2009 — $288 billion — went to the top 1 percent of taxpayers, those with at least $352,000 in income. That delivered an average single-year pay increase of 11.6 percent to each of these households.

Still more astonishing was the extent to which the super rich got rich faster than the merely rich. In 2010, 37 percent of these additional earnings went to just the top 0.01 percent, a teaspoon-size collection of about 15,000 households with average incomes of $23.8 million. These fortunate few saw their incomes rise by 21.5 percent.

The bottom 99 percent received a microscopic $80 increase in pay per person in 2010, after adjusting for inflation. The top 1 percent, whose average income is $1,019,089, had an 11.6 percent increase in income.

Henry wants to give those folks another tax cut.

Nope, it comes down to consumer confidence. It just dropped "sharply" to its lowest level in nine months...WY, because of "unemployment"! 

Tag that in with the fact that the median household income has dropped over $4,000 (lost income) since Obama took over....

the fact is, consumers have very little confidence with Obama's policies.....

Also according to Rassmussen, 52% of American's feel the economic condition of the country is getting worse, as do 56% of investors.

Bernanke pumping money into the system is keep our stocks looking better than they really are.

As Lincoln once said:... "You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

You haven't answered the fundamental question: with a strong stock market and high corporate profits, why is unemployment so high?  You claim that when the wealthy and business does well, everyone reaps the rewards.  It has been illustrated here that the wealthy and business are doing well...very well...yet those results are not translating to any improvement for the middle class.

Because the investors and the entrepreneurs do not have the confidence into putting their money back into the economy until they know what Washington is going to do next.  Raising taxes, Health Care, more stringent regulations, EPA....all of those are factors that impact them on if they will sink thier money back into the economy or keep it invested in safe assets.

Four more years of republican obstructionism that insists on making the rich richer on the backs of the middle class? No thanks. That is why I will be doing everything in my power to expose the tea party bums for the idiots that they are.

That's outright bullshit; if investors weren't investing, the stock market would be down, not up.

And I will do everything in my power to get some leadership in there that will GET SOMETHING done, to acutally help America.  Like restoring consumer confidence and creating jobs.  To stop the needless wasteful spending that Tea Party politicians desire to do.

[Henry Hawk]

Because the Federal Reserve is printing more money for banks and others to buy stock....it is artifical and going to burst, IF we don't nip it in the bud.
