The GOP had a chance to nominate someone who would actually CUT spending and didn’t need to lie about the numbers to fool people. They cheated their own primary process to make sure he didn’t win.

What did you think, Howard, about these two financial geniuses arguing about why gas prices are so high, and neither one mentioned anything about the Fed’s quantitative easing?

And people are dumb enough to think that either of these bozos can “fix” the economy. Either way, we’re effing doomed.

Your schooling must have been flawed, Did you go to Harvard? Look up LNU02000000 (BLS) .
Reagan and Oneal Tax Cuts combined with a 25% reduction in the CFR:
Employment average 100.4 million working in 1981 by 1989 it was at 115.0 million. A 15% increase in average Americans working.

Bush Tax Cuts
Employment averaged 136.9 million working in 2001 by 2008 the number was 145.4 million. A 6.7% increase in average Americans working.

Obama Stimulus
Employment averaged 145.4 million working in 2008 by 2012 the number was 141.8 million. A -2.5% decrease in average Americans working.

Real Tax and Regulation Cuts expand the Economy. Government Expansion and Spending Deflates the Economy.

Lesson learned: Give money to all citizens and get out of the way. Our new College grads would find jobs and manufacturing will return to the USA for every working person who maybe doesn’t want to go to college.

ladyj… how are you today? I hope you are well.

Let’s review some facts about the wars in the Middle East that I am sure you are completely unaware of because MSLSD would never publish such damning facts against Obozo.

It amazes me that you guys on the left have no clue what you are talking about regarding the cost of the Afghan war. From the DoD budgetary numbers, here are some facts:

Total Cost of Afghan War sinc e 2001 = $557B
Total spent since Obozo took office in 2009 = $385B

A FULL 75% OF THE ENTIRE COST OF THE AFGHAN WAR HAS BEEN SPENT BY OBOZO!!!!

Here’s some more shocking numbers about Afghan that the media just ignores:

Total casualties in Afghan war from 2001 to 2008 = 2,638 Americans
Total casualties in Afghan war from 2009 to 2012 = 14,000 and change

A FULL 80% OF ALL CASUALTIES IN THE AFGHAN WAR HAVE BEEN SINCE OBOZO TOOK CONTROL OF THE EFFORT.

Here’s some more for you:

Total dead in Afghan war from 2001 to 2008 = 625 Americans
Total dead in Afghan war from 2009 to 2012 = 1,474

A FULL 70% OF ALL DEATHS IN THE AFGHAN WAR HAVE BEEN SINCE OBOZO TOOK CONTROL OF THE EFFORT.

I know you leftist freaks don’t like to hear the truth about what a failure Obozo has been, but you must face the facts. You are hanging your ideological future on a guy that is nothing more than a smoke screen. A wizard behind the curtain. Face it, Obozo is a failure and the faster you guys recognize this, the better off you will be regrouping and strategizing for 2016. Hopefully by then, you’ll have grown up and seen the light and have returned to being a real American instead of a socialist utipian dreamer.

Have a nice day!

Where in the heck did you get your figures for job growth after Bush 2 tax cuts? I am one of the many people that lost their jobs after the two tax cuts under Bush 2. There was no job growth that I and thousands upon thousands of laid off workers saw. There were plenty of jobs sent overseas after Bush 2 tax cuts for which the US taxpayers paid their moving expenses which companies like Bain took advantage of. You must have been reading a Republican Fairy tale to say that there was job growth with Bush 2 tax cuts.

What cave have you been living in? Every time taxes are cut for the rich the economy gets worse. Reagan in 1981 said of his tax cuts for the wealthy would trickle down into jobs for everyone. All that tax cut did was to put more money in the rich’s bank account and the lost of thousands of jobs. Reagan took back his tax cuts for the rich and jobs were restored for the thousands that had lost their jobs in the trickle down economy. When Bush 2 cut taxes in 2001 and 2003 again there was a huge lost of jobs with businesses closing down every day and jobs being sent overseas by companies like Bain who got paid moving cost for sending the jobs overseas by our tax money. I know that tax cuts for the rich doesn’t improve the economy because I got laid off after Reagan’s tax cuts and again after Bush 2 tax cuts. Thanks to Bush 2 I had to take early retirement because my savings was gone and I had nothing left to live on. All tax cuts for the rich does is make them richer. In 2004 0r 2005 the rich and the rich corporations told Bush 2 if he declare a tax free holiday they would bring into the Country millions or maybe billions in money they had in overseas accounts and create jobs in return for not paying taxes. Bush 2 gave them their tax holiday and they created zero jobs, that money went in their pockets and the pockets of their big shareholders, small shareholders got none of it.
Tax cuts do not improve the economy and that fact has been proven time and again.

you mean if Romney get in he will create another war and more military personal will get killed for what. Tell me for what, for the oil they have so Romney will make more money. His foreign policy sucks big time. I am not saying that Obama foreign policy is not that great but at least he is trying not to ruffle feathers like Mitt will.

hey OBozomust go if you want to talked that way fine, but you should open you ears or have them clean out, Obama said it was his responsible not on one else. It takes a big man to admit that. I don’t see Romney admit that he did nothing wrong. He just keep telling lies after lies after lies.. He was going to repeal the equal rights act that Obama put into place, but then his campaign advisor said that he is not going to do anything about it. You do not know what he will say next. What other flip flops, Or he did, about abortion, He was was a while back that he was for abortions any kind and then he turns around and say differently. Sorry No one knows who is the Real Romney. But a person who will not say how he is going to things before the election I am scare and you should be too. I don’t want to wake up one day and women rights are taken away, or see the middle class and poor paying more taxes, while the rich get more money and does not create jobs. Also he is another point, a plant in Fremont Illinois, Bain and Romney is still part of it because he knows a good deal is closing down and their High tech jobs are going over to China. American people are training or had train them to take over their jobs over in China. Heck they could not fly the American flag while they are training them. The asked Romney to step in and save their jobs, and he would not do it. Good tech jobs being lost because of money grubbing Bain and everyone else who is involve in this jobs lost. At least Obama want good jobs, tech j0bs or other good jobs, not like Mitt who cares for the rich. Obama 2012

Standing ovation is in order, thank you Dominick! Folks Romney and his ilk will not ‘win this election’ but, it is theirs for the stealing. No citizen untouched by FOX and company would choose to vote these psychopaths into power. But we must simply conclude that the GOP is extinct and exists in name only. Lincoln, Eisenhower or even Nixon wouldn’t last a minute with these lunatics. The people seeking power are as evil as the day is long, representative government is an annoyance to be undermined until it can be snuffed out all together. The people seeking office as republicans are truly seeking to dismantle Medicare and Social Security and anything else they can annihalate. This is what ideological warfare looks like: billionaires using a speck of their otherworldly riches to purchase our government for their own personal gain, and to redesign society the way they think it should be. It’s happening now, we’re living in a profound crises for the soul of democracy. I
