FRom the party that took a golden economy, left a turd, ran up the debt 5T in 8 years..... I give you yet deeper idiocy. These Rep-ugs are like teenage boys. You know the kid that wrecked every car he drove, then tried to tell everyone else how to drive? Well, ladies and gents, I give you..... the Republican Party. You would think that after fucking shit up that bad they would have the cooth to STFU about anything fiscal, but after wrecking the car, several times, they wanna claim that Obama has a bad plan. The hillarity never ends from the party of teenage boys.
The increased the debt 5 trillion in 8 years by:Republican leaders continued their attacks on President Barack Obama's handling of the economy Tuesday, calling it irresponsible and certain to increase taxes and federal debt.
- overspending
- undertaxing
and now they think they can tax cut our way out of this and lower the debt too. Morons, the politicians and the electorate.
Responding in advance to Obama's televised speech to a joint session of Congress, top Republicans said the president relies too heavily on spending, and not enough on tax cuts, ...
Is anywhere here dumb enough to believ that today, tax cuts = lowerd debt? I can repost that set of data that GT86 chickened out on. GHWB raised taxes, the debt lowered. Clinton furthered that, the debt contimued to lower. GWB lowered taxes, the debt raised. Not to mention GHWB pulled us out of fascist Ronnies recession he inherited when GHWB raised taxes. Good think neo-cons are illitterate or they would havw to admit fault and failure.
The same Democratic House since 06, tied Senate since 06 that had the balls to override 4 of 10 eligible vetoes? How can you blame them, they did all tehy could and now that they have a huge lead in the House and Senate, their approvals are up. This could be the end of the Repugs for several terms if Obama pulsl this out.They said they want to work with Obama, and sometimes blamed congressional Democrats more than him.
The massive economic stimulus bill recently enacted by Obama and congressional Democrats, Jindal said, will expand the government, "increase our taxes down the line, and saddle future generations with debt."
More hypocrisy from teenagers. The Repubs expanded the gov, they also ran the debt up to astromonmical proportions and in fact are essentially liable for 80%+ of the total, 225+ year debt. Then they have the cookies to blame anyone else?
The tone of the Republicans' response was in keeping with their nearly unanimous opposition to the $787 billion economic stimulus bill, which was backed by only three Republicans in the Senate and none in the House. Some Democrats and independents think the Republicans are blundering and misreading most Americans' sentiments about the need for massive government action to help the economy.
Yes and it's a lose/lose for the the party of the Repugnance. If the stimulus works a bit, the Dems look good, if the stimulus fails, who got us here? They should jon in, but that could be a loser too, due to them looking like followers. They really need to depart from who they are in total and reinvent themselves, but they are still in the denial phase that tahye have been made virtually irrelevant in all of the current political spectrum. The more they resist and perhaps fillibuster a bill, nominee, the longer they will be insignificant.
Denial.....tisk, tisk.....foolsIn the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, about three-fourths said Obama was trying to be bipartisan, and almost as many faulted the response of Republican officials, which was seen as politically motivated.
Despite such findings, GOP lawmakers say they believe they will be proven right in the long run.
Denial, pls saty there, it will keep you down.
Seriously, Dem leaders in congress, let the Repugs do it, they have done such a bang-up job over the last 3 decades.House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said Tuesday that Republicans want to help Obama find "responsible solutions to the challenges facing our nation, but thus far congressional leaders in the president's own party have stood in the way."
Yes, it is correct to leave taxes where tehy are, then as we pull out of Bush's/Repugs mess Obama will raise taxes enough to balance teh budget eventually and not choke the economy. Really Obama isn't neccessarily that brilliant, he just seems so because he's doing things that are obvious. He's justa guy with ethics, Bush knew what to do, he just couldn't ignore his people (rich).Boehner, Jindal and other Republicans repeatedly accused Democrats of wanting to raise taxes, but the Obama-backed stimulus package has extensive tax cuts.
Jindal acknowledged that to some degree, Republicans deserved the drubbing they took in the last two national elections.
But then he stupidly rambles on about how we should go back to their way? Senseless.

GOP Gov. Jindal calls Obama's plan irresponsible

WASHINGTON – Republican leaders continued their attacks on President Barack Obama's handling of the economy Tuesday, calling it irresponsible and certain to increase taxes and federal debt.
Responding in advance to Obama's televised speech to a joint session of Congress, top Republicans said the president relies too heavily on spending, and not enough on tax cuts, to try to revive the gasping economy. They said they want to work with Obama, and sometimes blamed congressional Democrats more than him. But their criticisms were sharp and plentiful.
"The way to lead is not to raise taxes and put more money and power in hands of Washington politicians," Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who gave the Republican Party's official response, said in excerpts released early. The massive economic stimulus bill recently enacted by Obama and congressional Democrats, Jindal said, will expand the government, "increase our taxes down the line, and saddle future generations with debt."
"It's irresponsible," said Jindal, who is eyeing a presidential bid in 2012.
The tone of the Republicans' response was in keeping with their nearly unanimous opposition to the $787 billion economic stimulus bill, which was backed by only three Republicans in the Senate and none in the House. Some Democrats and independents think the Republicans are blundering and misreading most Americans' sentiments about the need for massive government action to help the economy.
In the latest New York Times/CBS News poll, about three-fourths said Obama was trying to be bipartisan, and almost as many faulted the response of Republican officials, which was seen as politically motivated.
Despite such findings, GOP lawmakers say they believe they will be proven right in the long run.
House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said Tuesday that Republicans want to help Obama find "responsible solutions to the challenges facing our nation, but thus far congressional leaders in the president's own party have stood in the way."
Boehner, Jindal and other Republicans repeatedly accused Democrats of wanting to raise taxes, but the Obama-backed stimulus package has extensive tax cuts.
Jindal acknowledged that to some degree, Republicans deserved the drubbing they took in the last two national elections.
"Our party got away from its principles," he said. "You elected Republicans to champion limited government, fiscal discipline, and personal responsibility. Instead, Republicans went along with earmarks and big government spending in Washington." But that is changing, he said.
This was my favorite from him, they went along with it. The Repukes had control the first 6 years, what did the Dems do or drive? In fact, once teh Dems threatened to fillibuster a nominee and the pukes said they would vote to change fillibuster rules to make them illegal. Again, what did the Dems do? All the pork was as a result of Republican majority action.
