Oh, Oh, Oh.Dough, dough, dough.More, more, more.Now, now now.

“Mean GOP stopping the jackass from giving away gifts paid for by money meant for the normal debts.”Yeah….. I guess that’s why the deficit and the national debt skyrocketed during the Bush Administration. The fact is Republicans in Congress are not any more fiscally responsible than the Democrats. The difference is where they spend the money.

“Mean GOP stopping the jackass from giving away gifts …"-This is dumb and dumber. Dumb Dems NOT stopping the dumber hosenose from giving away gifts to the rich.

Obama says that he has to run the country as best he can on his own because the Republicans refuse to do their job. This simply makes it clear that he doesn’t understand what the Republican’s job is. The Republicans in congress are doing their job very well. If they can’t accomplish anything that Obama won’t veto, then they can stall so that the Democrats can’t accomplish anything either. Their intention is to keep everything just as it is, unless they can manage to return to the “good old days” of the 19th century, before there was a middle class and when only the landed gentry were voters. And, they have a great strategy for accomplishing this……………………………………….. …………………….1. Disenfranchise everyone you possibly can, unless they are dependable Republican voters..………………………………………………………………………………………….……………….2. Produce ads and media emphasis which emphasizes those politicians who are corrupt and incompetent. Paint all Democrats with the same slime. Lacking sufficient actual slime, simply make some up. This undermines the people’s trust in their government and makes them feel like helpless pawns, so they tune out the whole process, accept the status quo, sincerely believe that “they’re all corrupt” and don’t turn up to vote. ………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………3. Support the “job creators”, who are the recipients of a huge portion of the GNP, although that GNP was produced by working people, who are receiving less benefit from it every day. This gives them the money to accomplish the other two goals, and leaves everyone except the “job creators” with increasingly less money to mount a counter campaign. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………….. So, this is the way we are going lose the middle class and become a country inhabited only by the very rich 1%, and a 99% who are too busy working two jobs to survive to notice.

You are incorrect Romney’s 47% comment was about people who don’t pay income taxes. See link here..Why did you pay a higher rate than Romney? Because of the bloated tax code where he can hire an accountant to avoid as much taxes as possible. With a flat tax, you will both have the same rate, but he will pay much more than he is now. You will save money; and not in the ACA kind of way where you pay more, but more money in YOUR pocket.

…as long as it’s not “more recession” which has been what we’ve had since Obama has been POTUS, I’m good.

I guess that the independent party’s motto is: NoHo?

wolf: hope you plan to use it as a pedal toy, not one that will actually fly!!

“Democrats and other children believe in Santa. The rest of us work to pay for their toys.”And Republicans need that money to pay for tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy.

Wow. A lot of ignorance here. Anyone thinking “welfare” for people is the problem probably watches Fox. Corporate welfare and the exporting of jobs creating a terrible negative trade balance, along with that same group of corporate welfare receivers owning the GOP is the real problem with the USA.

"So tell the truth, modern Democrats are MORE fiscally responsible than modern Republicans. "That’s like saying bleach is less poisonous than rat poison. My point that Republicans are no more fiscally responsible than Democrats is not in disagreement with your point. It’s a matter of degree of irresponsibility.
