Somebody else already said this but I'm going to say it again anyway. Just wait. The Republicans will bring a bill to the floor to cut those programs. They will all vote for it, the liberals will all vote against it, but we have the House so the bill will pass. We pass it on to the Senate and Harry Reid sits on it and refuses to let it be voted up or down. And the programs stay, the employees stay, nothing gets cut, but those departments get their annual automatic increase.
Like everyone else, I'm deeply shocked and saddened. His bold leadership against the MSM, his love for his country, he was a truly great Patriot. Look down on us from above Andrew. We will be fighting the good fight so your children can still grow up in a free America. RIP. Prayers for you and your family. And lots of love being sent your way as well.
I didn't even know they had to obtain permits in order to gather together and protest. I wonder where all that money comes from. I would hate to think that even one Tea Party organizer had to dip into his or her own pocket to come up with the money needed to meet expenses for all of us to get together to protest. Especially when groups like OWS didn't have to obtain permits and even ended up with donations to open a bank account.
Sheesh, this sure is a messed up system we have here.
Very informative Washington76. Thanks for all the info. FYO, though, the actual saying is ..."cut off you nose to spite your face".
Here's the probable real agenda: "You should know, Gov. Shumlin, that Connecticut’s Gov. Malloy may have forgotten to tell his fellow Democratic governors- and perhaps the president- that he has led his state into a $161 million budget deficit, after giving the citizens of his state the highest tax increase in its history. The revenues from all those tax increases don’t seem to be doing the job."
He's probably hoping for a bailout from BO for that $161 million deficit.
Just a hunch.
Who in their right mind (no pun intended) would believe anything this scumbag says? He's got his nose up in the air just like BO does all the time. He thinks he's so much smarter than us. Who got this man elected anyway? Look into his eyes. All I see there is evil and deceit just like I see looking into Pelosi's eyes, or BO's eyes. Evil and deceit. Oh, I remember now how he got elected. The unions did all they could by fixing the voting machines and hauling their workers to the polls in buses and telling them, ..."don't forget now. Vote the Democrats all the way."
This is what I like about Newt. He has specific solutions, a path to get there, and the expected results of getting there. It all sounds reasonable, unlike the words of BO, which sounds more like BS to me.
Plus, there is sound accounting principles in the background of his plans. Put more people back to work, what happens? Government gets more money. Fact of life. Then what happens to that 49. 5%? Goes down, down, down. I want Newt. I want Newt. Etc., etc.
They've always demonized the rich corporations and the rich Republicans, meanwhile giving billions of hard-earned taxpayer money to the union bosses so they could get rich and filter some of their mandated dues back to DemonRats to get them re-elected. I never could understand what the difference was between affluent Republican corporations and affluent unions.
BO is actually quite the experienced and accomplished community organizer. You should read the book by Saul Alinsky, "Rules For Radicals". The whole description of BO is exactly what a community organizer is and does. It's absolutely frightening.
That's the same story of every debate. Someone hammering the leader-of-the-moment. And it doesn't matter how many times they hear the advice of all, which is to drop the back and forth bickering and stay on message. How does this relate to BO and what would you do differently? The only one who hears it and does it is Newt. Personally, I love Newt when he does it. I hated it when he joined the fray against Romney. Romney hurt Newt a lot so it is understandable but now it's coming out that this is the way Romney always wins elections. By using his wealth to spread dirt and half-truths around about the opponent.
