Thank you, elite liberal, for sharing your intolerance of ideas from your perch on that high horse.
That's pretty cheap compared to your hero Bush's Iraq.
This kind of comment is so ridiculous!
We know that! We are trying to stop that!
Not add more to the problem like the demwits (who, btw, were in power for the last years of that presidency).
Stop bringing up Bush...unless that's the only ammo you got.
A better question might be, when will you ever learn? You seem to have willful amnesia. Guess when the GOP ran up the deficit, the debt, expanded government and Medicare it was different huh? (That's ok, you don't have to reply, you never do.)
Another liberal trying to argue that $250B deficits under the GOP was far worse than $1.3T deficits under Obama.. And people wonder why everyone asks what is happening to our educational system..

Great.. now that you've talked down to us little folks.. maybe you can listen carefully..
The healthcare is COSTING jobs...
The Bush tax cuts CREATED jobs.. (10,000,000) of them to be exact.
I know.. you want to continue the healthcare costs and not the tax cuts.. And expect the exact opposite of what is happening..

Ahh yes.. the old "GOP" wants government to do something.. WRONG.. Governments DO NOT CREATE JOBS..
You just proved this above when you claimed the bush tax cuts were harmful to job creations (even though you were 100% wrong).. Government getting out of the way CREATES jobs.. Government in the way, STOPS THEM.. Its not rocket science so dont try to educate me on who is ignoring what while you try to pretend things are hypocritical to want LESS government..

The demand isnt there because people are holding onto their money TO PAY THE GOVERNMENT.. Its government stopping the demand..

1) They already hired 10,000,000 new people.. how much more do you want them to hire?
2) They arent hiring because TAXES ARE GOING UP.. Thats why they are hoarding their cash.. THINK..

The current plan was tried during the great depression. It lead to over a decade of 10%+ unemployment.. Its YOU expecting a different result.. The GOP plan of cutting taxes has been proven time and time again to create jobs.. Now you expect different results.. Do you project much?

Yep.. reality is of course that demand will eventually return.. The difference is, do you support the New Deal method which took decades, or the tax cut methods which took a few weeks? Only someone trying to destroy the country would pick the wrong answer...
That's pretty cheap compared to your hero Bush's Iraq.
Actually its not.. The total cost of 1 year of monetizing the debt will FAR exceed the total cost of Bushs Iraq war, and the Afghanistan war..
Again, people wonder why everyone asks whats happening to our education system.. here, let me help you with basic math.
$75B a month * 12 months = $900B..
Now what did Bushs war cost? and how much is Obama spending on the very same war?
Finally, the fact that you dont understand that monetizing the debt will cost you far greater than any war, shows that you do indeed need to study before posting again.. its estimated to cost americans 20% of everything they own by devaluing the dollar. But hey, you just keep holding onto the dream that Government is the solution....
A majority of Americans are ignorant of politics, the midterm elections only reflect that. It makes sense that we have rewarded incompetence by electing more members of the Republican Party.
So we get the government we deserve, and now gridlock is all but assured.
Sadly, as long as a majority of voting Americans remain clueless, we all will suffer.
better to have gridlock , than to have liberal garbage
look at what the liberals screwed up
a stimulus, that didnt stimulate
a jobs bill, that did create any jobs
a health insurance mandate, that made costs higher
saving FAILED companies for what...the sake of saying the saved a FAILED company...
a finance reform bill that doesnt address fannie/freddie (who AGAIN need ANOTHER bailout)

Wrong! Independents are the reason Obama and the Democrats seized control in 2008 and 2006 respectively. And Independents are the reason Republicans had success. Unlike yourself, Independents are not partisan. They are voting according to what they feel is in the best interest of the country irregardless of party.
So maybe you should pay attention and acknowledge your party made mistakes instead of calling the majority of Americans dumb.
