The GOP is just upset we haven’t cleaned up their debt fast enough. They’ve raided the Post Office, “demanding 75 years prepaid for future retirements” Yet Banks walked away free and not one Banker was fired or lost their millions in bonus’ for failing Banks..Where is that Post Office retirement fund going? Now that this GOP also caused more unemployment there and ruined more families, what next? The PO ran over 2 centuries without a dime from the tax payers, while providing workers good health care and retirement..Congress did this to hand over OUR U.S. Postal Service to their donors at UPS and FED X who Lobbied Congress to “prevent the Post Office from expanding”..Soon we’ll pay $10.00 to UPS or FED X just to mail a letter, and say good by to delivery in many places FED X and UPS doesn’t go.
All this GOP has done is bankrupt America, torture in our name in wasteful wars of aggression, ruin everything they touch, American lives included. After months of threats to the US economy, this GOP Congress did nothing but kick it down the road.

Who stoned walled President Obama? The Republican majority in the House of Representive and the use of filibuster and have to have 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate by the Republicans is what used to stonewall President Obama. When Bush 2 was President he never veoted a Republican bill no matter how bad it could be in the long run for the Country and the Republican controlled Congress rubberstamped eveything that Bush 2 and Cheney wanted

I do not understand how anyone can call Social Security an entitlement , a system that I and others in my age group have paid into for 40 or more years and even paid 2/3 more in SS taxes from 1981 than we were was suppose to that was speciafilly suppose to have been put toward our now retirement years. It is not our fault that a Republican President, (Reagan) put Social Security funds into the geneal funds so he could STEAL THE ACESS WE WERE PAYING ALONG WITH THE REGULAR SS PAYMENTS WE WERE ALSO PAYING TO MAKE OUR RETIREMENTS BETTER. Reagan took the acess amount we paid into the system and more SS funds to make people think that his trickle down economics were working when they weren’t and he knew it they weren’t, so did Bush 1 . Bush 1 did put the SS back in its own fund and sign into law a law that he and Democratic Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill came up with to make it unlawful for the money in the SS fund to be used for anything beside Social Security. A law that didn’t stop his son Bush 2 from dipping into twice and using the fund as colleratal for the loans he got from China to finance his two unfinanced wars. I have read that President Clinton also dipped into the funds despite the bill.
The salary that Congress recieves to me is an entitlement considering how few days and hours they are actually working for us, the citizens of this country. Also all the perks they receive are also entitlements, their medical care, their pensions and so on. The salaries paid to Congress since President Obama has been elected especialy the Republicans salaries should have to be repaid and applied to the deficit because they sure didnt do anything to earn their pay, they were to busy working on defeating President Obama in 2012 and doing what their rich campagin donors wanted to do any work for the citizens that elected them especially after the 2010 elections. Entitlements are paying for an elected member in Congress to fly from DC or his home state to campaign to a fellow party member. If they want to campaign for each other use their personal money, not my tax money to pay their expenses and air fair to it.

Your post as usual show that you do not research any thing before posting your statesnent, like the fact that Bush 2 never included the money spent on his 2 unfinanced wars and the interest paid China after Bush 2 borrowed money from China to finance the wars and the fact that he took money twice from Social Security to make his bottom line look better. There years of spending on the 2 Republican wars that were never put on the books in order to hide how much money was actually being spent on them. President Obama has never hidden the amount of money spent on the 2 wars, one of which was an illegal war because it started because of lies told by Bush 2 and other Republicans, nor the amount of interest we pay China on the money loaned to Bush and the country since Obama took office. Also the deficit has been lowered which you would know if you watched something besides Fox not News and read the financal reports of financial experts that are netural when it comes to politics. Also by watching something besides Fox not news you will learn that President Obama has deported more illegal aliens in his first 4 years than Bush 2 did in his 8 years as President.
I admit that I do despite Bush 2 and Cheney very much. I do not like either because I was one on the many that lost their jobs because of their and the rest of the Republics in Congress economic policies, cutting taxes and starting 2 unfinanced wars. I had to use all my retirement savings while looking for a job and finally have to retire 12 years before I intended to because I couldn’t find a job because of my age and the fact that many employers still think all women have husbands or males to support them.

GOP kicking it down the road again. No solutions, and except to bankrupt the Post Office and obstruct jobs growth, what do they do for the two days they show up for work, besides atack women’s rights?
Boehner states in 2013, they only have 126 days scheduled to vote on anything. Expect nothing to get done, until we vote them out in 2014 and get a Congress that actually works for their money and shows up.
Democrat’s gave us Health Care, and saved us from a GOP caused near Depression. These people have the nerve to call our President “lazy”?? Unbelievable!

Gore does not have more money than Romney. Romney has so much money in different types trusts, overseas accounts and in China that we have no way of knowing how much money he really has. As for the amount of money that the Kennedy’s, and Soros’s have I have no idea, you have a hatred of wealthy Democrats so why can’t others have a hatred of wealthy Republicans, like Romney, the 3 Koch brothers, and others in the Republican ranks. I don’t feel hatred for any of the rich in the Country , I do feel comtempt for many of them over the way they or their families got wealthy and how greedy they are now. I feel comtempt for the father,Joseph Kennedy, of the Kennedy clan because he made his money in unethical ways, I feel major comtempt for Williard Romney and the way he made his millons after inheriting millions from his Dad George, who I have great respect for and the way George made his money, Williard made his own millions by plundering companies that were floundering who he was suppose to be helping to turn around and go back to making money, he and his partners even took the employees pension funds, leaving the employees with nothing and causing the US taxpayers to have to replace the money in the employees pension funds because the funds were federally insuranced.
The TV network that Gore helped start and that sold recentally, Gore only owned 20% of the stock in the network so he only got 20% of the money paid for the TV network and other stockholders divided up the other 80 percent of the money received.
I also feel some comtempt for Soros because ofwhat I have heard or read about the way he made his money. Since I do not have all the facts on Soros and how he made his moneyI use the word some, if he did make his millions the way it has been said, that word some will turn to major contempt. I have major comtempt for the 3 Koch brothers and their father and the way they made their money.
By the way, your first sentence in your really does not make sense.

Neither. I’m for those who honor their country and their countrymen, regardless of their wealth or status. No grown, intelligent, patriotic, and caring individual has to be told or forced to contribute his fair share while his/her country and countrymen are in dire need. Were you a patriotic and caring individual, that question you asked would have never left your lips.

Why a 3 month limit? This roller coaster, dramamine-filled shit should stop NOW!
