US Political situation is FUBAR

[C-Gold]

The Democrats will never cut spending. Their answer is always to raise taxes. The Democrat run senate hasn't submitted a budget in 2 years ( what do we pay them nearly 200K per year for?). Obama's last budget was shot down 97-0. Every single Senator - Democrat and Republican voted against Obama's budget. The Democrats are a socialist party. They are the party of Millionaires and welfare takers. It's not that their socialist policies don't work, if they could "just" pass one more bill for one more project THEN it will work. 46.3 million Americans are on food stamps right now and that number is only rising. We call that a failure but Democrats love that dependency.

The Republicans want to shoot anything outside our borders that moves. There isn't a war they don't want to start. Give every rural jesus loving hill billy a uniform and a gun and tell him to shoot the brown people. Fiscal conservatism? Only in theory. Wars cost money.

But are Democrats the party of peace? Hardly. Vietnam was started by a democrat. Obama attacked Libya for oil and if Obama is reelected we will start a war with Iran. The Democratic party bows down to the Israeli lobbyists and they will use the US Military to fight their wars in the Middle East.

This Country is 16 trillion in debt with no end in sight. Cutting the budget isn't even an option, they talk about cutting spending 8 years in the future when our current thug leaders will be long out of office.

Basically we are screwed. Touch choices have to be made and our leaders are cowards. All they want to do is get re-elected. They will sell your future out in a second just to make sure these power hungry egomaniacs stay in control.

Does anybody really care? They are too busy watching NFL, American Idol or playing Modern Warfare. Bread and Circus until this whole thing blows up.

No where in your incoherent rambling was there anything close to an answer, we are all dumber for having read it, I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

[PickCityz]

Really? Democrats and Republicans sleep in the same bed. They like to pretend "fight."

[C-Gold]

Really? You really believe this?

What was the "real" reason? Because the people started a revolution and the government cracked down on them? If a bunch of hicks from Missouri picked up guns and said they were overthrowing the government, do you think Obama would just step aside and say "the people have spoken"???? Gadaffi was only "killing his own people" because they were trying to over throw and kill him.

Of course we have to have that moral superiority when we start a war.
" They attacked us first""
"They sunk our ship"
" We must stop the spread of communism"
" They have weapons of mass destruction"
"They want to blow Israel off the map"
"Gadaffi is killing his own people"

The American public is so gullible.

i just can NOT believe how the democrats get EVERY SINGLE FUKIN thing they want, and ANY time the Conservatives try to do anything that is actually RIGHT for America - CUT TAXES, REDUCE THE DEFICIT, BALANCE THE BUDGET, SLASH HANDOUTS (welfare, medicare, medicaid, soc security, etc etc), CREATE JOBS, ALLOW CHRISTIANITY, HELP JOB CREATERS AND WALL ST INVESTERS............what do the democrats do??

they send there THUGS out to use any means they can to STOP the Conservatives from helping the country in any way, and then take away whatever MORE freedoms they feel like taking away in the process

America is being destroyed..........BY LIBERALS WHO TAKE AWAY FREEDOMS.........which is EXACTLY what happened in a little place you may of heard of called NAZI GERMANY a few years back

google it before you decide that that is what you want America to be in 20 years.......

[C-Gold]

Liberals act like Children. Look at the walk outs they had in the upper Mid Western state houses. They can't get their way so they pout like Children and leave their jobs. They failed to uphold their fiduciary duty to their constituents and should have all been thrown out of office. But since when was playing by the rules part of their MO? The words in the Constitution don't really mean what they say... let us "interpret" it. Freaking crazies.

Oh and they use the "poor" as a trojan horse to get their socialistic policies through. If you cut government spending the kids will starve. Please.

i just can not believe how the democrats get every single fukin thing they want, and any time the conservatives try to do anything that is actually right for america - cut taxes, reduce the deficit, balance the budget, slash handouts (welfare, medicare, medicaid, soc security, etc etc), create jobs, allow christianity, help job creaters and wall st investers............what do the democrats do??

How did the conservative Bush "help" this country, more like he and his oil buddies "helped themselves to" this country

exactly

liberals want money so instead of fukin going out and GETTING A JOB there like "hey i have an idea. why don't we set up something where the hard working people give part of what they EARN to the lazy people as reward for being lazy!"

um, no

go to the HELP WANTED section

problem solved

and then there like "but I'm too old, give me an old person handout called social security"

um no

go to the HELP WANTED section, OLD PEOPLE subsection

problem solved

and then there like "but i have no education, give me a stupid person handout called welfare"

um no

go to the HELP WANTED section, STUPID PEOPLE subsection

problem solved

i would be ok with the government handing out "anti-whining" pills to liberal scum, that would be free of charge, we will get the Koch Brothers to fund it

[CarpeDime]

How did the conservative Bush "help" this country, more like he and his oil buddies "helped themselves to" this country

he tried to slash taxes, slash spending, reduce the deficit, pay back the debt, promote the Constitution, promote the Flag, promote the freedom to be Christian, but LIBERALS WOULD NOT LET HIM

[Nats' Fan]

When did this dipshit get back?

[Shaudius]

How is Social Security a handout? You do realize that in order to qualify for an "old person" handout you need to pay into the system right? You need what are called quarters of coverage in order to qualify for retirement benefits. But since the rest of your ramblings show you don't know what the **** you're talking about, it's kind of useless to inform you of something. It will just go in one ear and out the other.

[flyingillini]

Is that like that clothing line that people used to wear? FUBU?

[Sam Odom]

How is Social Security a handout?

It was not meant to be one's sole support as it is unfortunately for many today. Also all of the offshoots support programs have their hands in the same pot. Also again, currently it only takes about 5yrs of receiving SS to use up all of one's contributions

Broken system

[GUMMO77]

Yes -- cutting taxes/giving tax breaks while starting two wars is beautiful wonderful for the economy

[agharah1]

The sheer volume of spoiled, bitchy, whining, entitlement from these "sigh, what happened to *MY* country!?" dirtbags is staggering. Grow up, dudes and realize what non-white, non-wealthy, non-suburban people have known since time immemorial:

There is *NO* guarantee that "playing by the rules and working hard" will lead to success. NONE. Stop complaining about the end of your Hank Hill existence. Nobody's going to give you a job or loan based on the strength of your handshake and a square look in the eye anymore. Just. Like. Everybody. Else.

Classic!

[Shaudius]

So he tried to slash taxes and at the same time reduce the deficit? Did he propose a lot of spending cuts to do this? Seriously, were you living in the same country as me during the years 2000-2008? Things done under Bush:

1) Two unfunded wars that CBO estimates will cost the taxpayers by 2017, 2.4 trillion dollars.

2) 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which are estimated to have cost as of right around now 2.8 trillion dollars.

3) The largest entitlement program creation in over 40 years, Medicare Part D, total estimated cost from 2009 to 2018, 727.3 billion.

If Bush was so concerned about the deficit and debt, why did he inherit a budget surplus and proceed to cut taxes twice, push for two wars(which isn't the problem, the problem is they were unfunded) and push for the largest expansion of an entitlement program in over 40 years. Bush was not a fiscal conservative. End of Story.

Dick Cheney said it himself, "Reagan proved budget deficits don't matter." That is to say unless you're a Republican looking to run against an incumbent President.

[MoneyLineDawg]

99% of politicians are sellouts and the ones that aren't never make it far enough to be elected

Basically what it comes down to

[flyingillini]

Carper do you think you could pass the NY state drivers license in your current state of being strung out on carga?

[CarpeDime]

Also again, currently it only takes about 5yrs of receiving SS to use up all of one's contributions

does that take inflation into consideration?

a dollar you paid into something 20 years ago was worth more than a dollar you take out of it today

$1 US 1952 > $1 US 1972 > $1 US 1992 > $1 US 2012 >

[CarpeDime]

Carper do you think you could pass the NY state drivers license in your current state of being strung out on carga?

yes

as i have said a million times, I do not deny having a good time in life

do i like to "enjoy life"? yes

but i handle my sh*t, never strung out, never get busted for anything, all is dotted and ts crossed, everything cool brother

[Iced]

carper is clearly a flaming liberal but I like his conservative satire anyway

[flyingillini]

yes

as i have said a million times, I do not deny having a good time in life

do i like to "enjoy life"? yes

but i handle my sh*t, never strung out, never get busted for anything, all is dotted and ts crossed, everything cool brother

Carper, you are like the Mother Mary, Joseph, Abraham and Joshua combined here at SBR. You handle your business like a pro and I envy that. I like to party as well, only been strung out once in my life and never again will that happen. Haven't touched the black in years and never will... But will never stop doing yay, mda or mdma..

[Sam Odom]

why did he (Bush) inherit (from Clinton) a budget surplus

You believe this why? Because the MSM said it?

It was smoke & mirrors & PROJECTIONS

[High3rEl3m3nt]

I don't have a problem with the OP....seems he is frustrated and wanting to vent a little.

The problem with politicians is that they all believe they have to actively do something to make all of our lives better. Politicians need to do less and the people need to do more for themselves. Autonomy and individuality is what makes our Nation great. If people want to gamble, let them. If people want to marry whoever they wish, let them. Democrats and Repubs look to control people in different ways. Repubs look to control people morally. It's a mess.

[Shaudius]

You believe this why? Because the MSM said it?

It was smoke & mirrors & PROJECTIONS

Fine, we had a slight deficit, which when adjusted for inflation was a net reduction in the national debt, not a projected reduction in the national debt indexed for inflation, an actual reduction in the national debt indexed for inflation.

[Sam Odom]

The economy during the end of Clinton's presidency was a sham ... dot com bubble

the bubble burst was Bush's to handle

Dont get me wrong... I would love to have Bill Clinton as our CURRENT president but he was the captain of a ship sailing on smooth waters

[antifoil]

the government needs to start taxing churches and other religious institutions on income. they shouldn't be getting a free ride.
