Sorry bud, that's not the voice of the people. In a poll US citizens were asked what should be done to fill the budget hole . . .
61% said tax the rich, 20 percent said cut defense spending, the rest mentioned cutting other spending. But do the Republican budget bills include either of those options that people want? NO!
Polls, Polls, Polls...I've got a poll for you, try election 2010. Your boys lost big because, they don't understand what the voice of the people is. The majority in America are conservatives and independents not necessarily Republicans. Again, the left fails to understand the message of the Tea Party supporters,
they are the voice of the people and
they are not interested in the progressive lefts sociallist/communist agenda, its failed fiscal policies, and if your a democrat or republican that aligns with these ideals there is a target on your back in 2012. It's time crush this sociallist/communist movement and sweep it into the ash bin of history.
Face it. Republicans don't speak for the people, they just lie to the people long enough to get them to vote for Republicans and then do the opposite of what the people actually want. Some of us wised up to this a long time ago.
:chuckle: Thats funny, so you are saying the Democrats are not a pack of liars and the Republicans are? from where I'm standing I really can't see much of a difference. Your position is laughable...
You're one of those that thinks everything that isn't Fox is "leftist". NPR is news for rural communities. But I guess you don't like them either.
:darwinsm: Your killin me here Alate, NPR is all the rural folks can pick up? Wow bummer, you mean no satellite T.V. or radio, not even FM... I call Logical Fallacy here...
NPR, PBS, NEA, are organizations that should be promoted and funded by the private sector. If it can't survive without a handout from the taxpayers then it should go the way of the Dodo.
Really? I guess you want this: then . .
Funny, because that's already the case . . . so it really has nothing to do with the budget . . .
We have gone to the extreme here have'nt we...trimming the fat of the EPA, or just about any of the bloated federal bureaucracies is a good thing. The EPA's existence and mission is not in jeopardy here, they will have to learn to do more with less. Kind of like the taxpayers.
So you're of the "die on the streets" ideological stripe? What happened to that "compassionate conservatism"? Of course the real problem is those of us that are insured ALREADY pay for people that aren't insured! The show up at the hospital and get treated model we have now is the most expensive model possible. It's a real reason why the deficit is so big. "Obamacare" actually works to help fix that problem.
Correct! we already pay for it so why pay for a social program the people overwhelmingly did not want, and is financially unsustainable. Whether it is cheaper is debatable, one thing is for sure the people said loudly they did not want it. Is the deficit big because of healthcare, really? No the deficit was caused by many former administrations not living within their means, spending money they did not have. As far as Obamacare being able to fix it, That is highly doubtful at best.
Except that isn't happening.
Good, then Planned Parenthood won't miss the money.
I'd love that if we actually had people paying what they owe. With GE and other huge corps paying $0 in taxes, the "live within your means" rings pretty hollow. Especially when we gave millionaires huge tax cuts but we can't take care of children or the elderly. Frankly, that isn't just bad policy, it is evil.
Was not GE the biggist financial supporter of your golden boy Obama? Maybe they got a "special" tax break. hmm :think:
Why should a millionare pay any more of a percentage of his income than anyone else, that would be fair. What is evil here is govt. spending money it does not have, and continually dipping into the pockets of those who work for it, and giving it to those who do not. Enabling laziness, illeagal aliens, other countries with their hand out is what is evil.
And here's the ideology right here. Conservatives WANT government to shut down. Everyone needs to remember this when they turn around and try to blame the Democrats.
If shutting down the Government is the fire needed to bring the spending under control,so be it. The only ones I feel for in this situation are those in the military who's check may be in jeopardy, hopefully that will bring this to a quick close. The Left should be the last ones to talk about governing by ideology...
