The "fiscal cliff".....

Well, in typical BO fashion, a last minute dictate was handed down which did nothing more than delay addressing our economic issues. Runaway spending will continue, taxes on everyone will be going up & BO's wealthiest supporters will continue to realize sweetheart savings on ther share of taxes.
Who didn't see this coming?

 

Ah ha ha ha ha!!! What an interesting factually void take on this entire process. Not one fact presented. Not one opinion based in actual events. And not one iota of truth in anything you just said. You Right-wingers are so off-planet that you make me chuckle.
Now, the indisputable truth: Boehner, unable to even get his own caucus to agree on a plan because he is the worst Speaker of the House in modern history presiding over the least effective U.S. House Reps, punts to the Senate. Joe Biden at the behest of the White House works out a bi-partisan deal with the Senate leaders that passes 89-8 and sends it along to the House for approval. Boehner, still unable to get his own party to cooperate ends up passing the bill with a minority of the majority and nearly all Democrats reversing a policy he said he wouldn’t reverse by passing a bill without a majority of his own party. The extremists on the Right would rather see this country go down the tubes than govern. They should all be tried for treason.

 

And let's not forget what a huge success Boehner's "Plan B" was with his own party.

 

The way you attempt to spin this screwing would be kinda cute if it wasn't so pathetic. The liberal cycle of tax & spend, tax & spend continues.

 

All I have presented is exactly what happened and can be verified by googling anything I've penned. All true. What your OP does is spin the truth in a partisan manner with no facts. For instance, you wrote "....BO's wealthiest supporters will continue to realize sweetheart savings on ther share of taxes." Any proof of this assertion? Or does the fact that the GOP tried, and failed, to hold the rest of the country hostage so that they could protected the wealthiest people in the country from paying anything more just conveniently slip your memory? Who are these Obama supporters and how has this legislation singled them out alone? You also wrote, "taxes on everyone will be going up" hell your taxes didn't even go up as a result of this legislation but for whatever reason you post this lie even when you could look at yourself and see that it isn't true. Spin, spin, spin...
See, you can't answer any of these questions because your post was nothing but spin. Pathetic spin, but spin just the same. And in usual Right-wing fashion, you accuse your political enemies of doing exactly what you yourself are doing openly. Hum?

 

Andy "Boner" can't seem to stop floundering. What a pathetic SOTH Boehner is! He is reaching critical ass-hat.

WASHINGTON — Republicans and Democrats from New York and New Jersey lashed out at House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday for pulling legislation on Hurricane Sandy aid, demanding that he reverse course and allow a vote as their constituents continue to struggle with the aftermath of the devastating storm. President Barack Obama called for an immediate House vote, and governors of the two states called House inaction a "dereliction of duty."

 

If the bill is so great, I have 3 questions for you;
1.) What percent of the American tax payers will see an increase in taxes today from this December?
2.) By how much was the government's spending reduced as Obama has promised?
3.) Just what was raising the tax rates on the richest 2% supposed to accomplish? It will not be used to reduce the deficit. And according to the CBO it will both reduce the government's intake and reduce the employment rate.

 

Seems like crybaby Boner is just losing it. What a loser!

Fiscal cliff negotiations between House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) reportedly got heated last Friday.
According to Politico, several sources claimed to have overheard a verbal altercation between the two men in the White House lobby.
With no bipartisan agreement about the debt ceiling, spending cuts and tax increases in sight, Boehner reportedly pointed at Reid and said, "Go f**k yourself."
"What are you talking about?" Reid asked.
And Boehner again said, "Go f**k yourself."
The encounter occurred soon after Reid took to the Senate floor and argued that Boehner could have ended the fiscal cliff standoff by bringing up legislation passed by the Senate for a vote. Reid also accused Boehner of catering to members of his party rather than serving the country.
"The American people I don't think understand the House of Representatives is operating without the House of Representatives," Reid said. "It's being operated by a dictatorship of the speaker, not allowing the vast majority of the House of Representatives to get what they want."

 

I wonder if he got that idea from you.

BTW, did you notice that Reid and Obama were not party to the agreement? Maybe Mr. Boehner was not the only one with those feelings.

 

Just losing it.....

WASHINGTON -- House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) yelled at a member of his own caucus on Tuesday night, after lawmakers from New Jersey and New York repeatedly pressed him to bring the Superstorm Sandy relief bill to the floor for a vote.

Boehner had a heated exchange with Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-N.J.), one of the members urging the House Republican leadership to bring up the Sandy legislation, according to fellow Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.). The House adjourned on Tuesday night without passing the $60.4 billion Sandy relief package that the Senate approved last week.

 

OMG! I think I am getting ignored
God bless you too Teddy!

 

BTW, I am guessing that you feel upgrading AMTRACK and NOAA qualify as "emergencies". Typical liberal planning. Oh! And there is a high speed rail tunnel between NY and NJ. Is that an "emergency" also?

 

Good for you rlm!

I don't need an ignore button. I can often ignore it from the title or first sentence.
Here's an example.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ................

 

Found another little piece to this story. Missing from you scenario, Reid stated that he only read the speeches as they had been written for him (i.e. accusing Boehner of putting his reelection ahead of the country et al). At that point, his (Reid's) chief of staff interjected that he did no such thing.

 

It had better not "delay addressing our economic issues" for long. Moody's has suggested that they will reduce our credit rating (again!) if the government does not address our SPENDING. Now, if I have heard everything right, it has been Boehner who was proposing spending cuts and Obama who refused (reneging on his promises).

 

I don't need the ignore button either. I just ignore those people that have nothing to contribute. They know who they are....and what they don't have to contribute.

 

Yep! I know well how the facts keep getting in your way.

 

It appears you're simply repeating a version of the misinformation that I already exposed as such. Do you actually have a citation and link to a report from the Congressional Budget Office that agrees with what you say? Then again, perhaps I'm mistaken and you're actually parroting talking points from the Conservative Bullshit Outlet.

Your first source uses a report from CNNMoney as its basis. Neither of them says that "raising the tax rates on the richest 2%" is what will affect the deficit. Both of them compare extending most of the tax breaks to letting all tax breaks expire, and note that the former will not decrease the deficit as much as the latter. Your lame attempt at spinning the story is noted as the failure accurately reflect reality that it is.

Now let's look at your assertion that the Congressional Budget Office report says that the deal will "reduce the employment rate." That's simply a fabrication. Your second source asserts that "tax hikes . . . will hurt the economy" but that is not from the Congressional Budget Office's report (PDF). It appears to be from a report that was sponsored by several conservative groups, the accuracy and validity of which has been called into question. Essentially, the second source is merely repeating the tired and discredited "you're hurting the job creators" line of crap, and that has nothing to do with the CBO report. The damned "job creators" never had it so good, since George "Warbucks" Bush cut their taxes, but the jobs are pretty much as scarce as ever. This assertion about job numbers is even more of a failure than the first part of your mendacious malarkey.
