g10, $20 a week times a few hundred million people can have a stimulative effect.
Don’t forget we are still in a big recession. The great thing about cutting taxes for the working classes is that they SPEND it. Cut them for dibs and he puts it in TAX FREE BONDS… lol.
“I never said that. we have a government that spends trillions of dollars a year. You’d think they could spend some of it efficiently to help those who can’t help themselves but thay can’t. Why should I pay more money when the government hasn’t shown they can spend what they have efficiently.”
DIBS – almost 70% of gov’t spending goes to Medicare/Medicade, Social Security and Defense. Obviously THATS where we can afford to cut some fat (DEFENSE?!?!?)
all your arguments about unions are a drop in the bucket and are just a political pride thing, and will not change the bottom line in ANYWAY.
I din’t want to say it, denton. I was afraid all the tree hugging pacifists would go wild and I’d have to explain the difference bewtween the different types of firepower in out arsenal.
If, say, we have to invade Pakistan, we should make it clear before we do so that there will be nothing left of the country if we decide to do so.
“these revolts in the mid east really got me thinking – we obviously couldn’t have a similar style revolution here.”
Why not, DH. Funny, I posted this a few weeks ago, that a somewhat crazed friend of mine stated that for sure it could happen here. As he pointed out, outside of NYC, CA, and some pockets of commodity prosperity, the country is fucked.
Everyone laughed at me.
Since then, we have massive demonstrations in WI and the price of oil is up 30%.
And there are a LOT of guns in this country. Sooner or later the working classes will figure out that they’re getting a royal screwing.
I agree Jessi!
denton -good point
M4l – I think my issue is that obama lowered taxes for ALL – not just the middle class – so like I said above – big whoop! it gave me an extra $20 in my paycheck – ok, so I guess now I can go hog wild and buy myself………2 albums on itunes or a Fancy candle for my house – meantime if he had left all the rates the same – the gov’t would have a lot more money to use for programs that actually HELP people not just allow them to buy more CRAP they don’e need!!!!!!!!!!

DIBS, if you’re gonna start another war I hope you are willing to pay a TAX INCREASE for it!

see – this is why i love repubs. complain about spending in one breath, then talk about new wars in the next.

“If we’re going to go after someone, we should be able to do it with air strikes and cruise missiles, we don’t need any troops on the ground. ”
That’s why we lost Vietnam, we thought we could do it with airpower alone.
But you’re right about the namby-pambys, just NUKE THE BASTARDS!
