    Like I said earlier, while Bubbles knows a lot about politics his view is fukk politics. I vote because I feel it is a tiny and exponentially small voice, but it is still a voice and mainly because SOLDIERS FIGHT AND DIE SO THAT I AM GIVEN THE GIFT OF VOTING.

    but my philosophy is just get as much pussy and money as you can before you die and have some fun with guns and stuff.

    Obamacare is the biggest pile of junk ever. Who in their right mind would key in on one industry that typically caters to one majority ethnic group... WHITE PEOPLE and TAX THEM on Tanning??? Obama killed the tanning industry. And he's a whore.

    SERIOUSLY!!! There should be a bi partisan bill brought to the floor that states exactly that. Would love to see any member of either party vote against that.

    Obamacare is not nearly as bad as hyped. It's easy to criticize, so people do, especially talking heads - which leads to water coolers, which turns it into death panels.

    Chill the fukk out. Deciding to not do your job does nothing to help.

    Assholes.

    Obamacare is now in effect and the Statue of Liberty will be closed. Way to go Ted Cruz. The Republican party strategy basically seems to be to go all in with 2/7 offsuit and fold pocket aces. Brilliant.

    Dems asked on April 23 for a conference on the budget resolution. They were rejected then, and 17 subsequent times since then.

    Yeah, both sides are to blame for this BS.

    Rhetorical questions from yet another guy who said he'd leave SBR, only to return to SBR with his Romney poster in tatters and his "I'm bipartisan" bullsh!t canon ready to fire.

    Why'd you leave again? Only to return to posting the same (aprox) time JJgold and SBRJohn did?

    Senate rejects Obama 2013 budget in 99-0 vote


    In a 99-0 vote, all of the senators present rejected the president’s blueprint.

    It’s the second year in a row the Senate has voted down Obama’s budget.

    Obama's 2012 budget failed 97 to 0

    So the Dems sided with the Repubs for once, and went against their fearless leader.

    About time. The fact budgets don't get passed is beside the point.

    Their constituents also didn't like his budget.

    The people voted, and voted for Obama, and his Obamacare. A oyster hair over 50% did at least.

    All you have shown is an example that Republicans get in the way of legislation of all kind. To include the kind in which a majority of Americans voted for and the entire other side want.

    Meaning, House Republicans in support of this shutdown are proving to be myopic assholes more interested in praying in the street than fixing the county.

    Republicans are acting like assholes, and are getting upset for being called assholes.

    They're far more inept and do nothing than the "do-nothing" congress.

Obama looks like he didn't spend much when viewed as % increase (bush spending was during 2 wars, and medicare drug plan, which democrats plan was much worse). That is the trick. you are viewing % increase, not actual spending. Look at actual spending. Obama is BY FAR the biggest spender. Why does % increase even matter? So if next president deficit spends 1.4 Trillion every year, and adds 6 trillion to debt in 4 years, you think 6 trillion of debt added in 4 years is low because you view as % increase (0%)?

    1) You can't deny that Obama is spending by arguing that the % increase is low. we know it is. Bush was fighting 2 wars. Name a president fighting 2 foreign wars at same time, during 7 of his 8 years in office, that did not increase spending. Bush's average deficit for first 6 years, even in height of 2 wars, was a few hundred billion. Look at chart below. With Obama its over a Trillion every year. bush left office with debt around 10 trillion. 4 and half years later its 17. Deficit spending 7 trillion in 4.5 years is a lot. Stop trying to spin % increase. If next presidents % increase over obama is 0% because he spends = to obama, and he adds 12 trillion in 8 years, does that mean he was lowest spender because % increase is 0%? Really? 12 trillion of debt for a president is lowest ever? % increase doesn't mean as much as looking at the actual spending figures. Obama has spent more money than any president in history (BEFORE his healthcare law even takes effect). Once Obamacare takes effect, Obama's spending is going to skyrocket the national debt even further. Stop trying to spin that adding 12 trillion of debt in 8 years is not a lot of money. Nobody believes you. % increase is not as relevant as the actual facts of how much they are spending.

    Question. All this back and forth in here, how many wrote their Reps, yea or nay on this bullshit?

    I for one did. If you didn't, get to it.

    The truth is that the deficits in the Reagan era 1980-1988
    (with a Democrat congress, and the Cold War in full flame)
    was only about 200-250 Billion dollars.
    That's not even a pinprick today. Obama has risen the debt by
    9 TRILLION to frikkin 17 TRILLION. (and still counting with 3 years left !!!)

    and btw, it was the Republican majority elected in 1996 that forcibly restrained
    Bill Clinton, forced welfare reform and other spending cuts. So he deserves NO CREDIT,
    PLUS it was during the infancy of the Computer/Internet Boom when a frikkin chimpanzee
    could have been president and the economy would have still boomed.
