Amazing. After 5 years the jackass’s have finally caught on. Perhaps if Obama had concentrated on this instead of his failed health care bill that forces us to buy product from criminals, America would not be desperate and on the way to becoming a 3rd world country.

I used to blame republiCONs but having been a water safety instructor, I have nothing but disdain for those that do not try to help themselves.

I do not blame those that cannot find work, I blame those that were elected to lead but turn out to be frauds.

With as much time as this administration has spent with the Chinese there is no excuse for not adapting Chinese principles such as FULL employment.

American society deserves the 3rd world status that they will soon own unless there is payback for the destruction of our economy and the MILLIONS of lives ruined thru the inaction of our government in respect to its own people. We spend TRILLIONS on other governments and we FUCK our own people (for profit).

Listening to Paul Ryan on Meet the Press, he is very fixated on the debt. Severly limiting spending does not produce the “growth” he says that we need. When David Gregory bought up Keynsian economic theory, Ryan pretty much dismissed it outright. I would think that during the study of economics, you would learn all the various theories, and which ones are to be applied to which circumstances. I would also think a study of the Great Depression would also be in order. Republicans seem to apply the” low taxes, small government spending” as a solution to all that ails us. It reminds me of medical care through the centuries, before the germ theory. No matter what the problem, the physician “bled the patient.” Today, there are very few medical conditions that require taking a pint of blood from the patient. If a doctor applied the same treatment to whatever ails you, he would today be a well known quack. Yet, it seems as though Republicans apply the same theory to all economic woes: high inflation–lower taxes; full employment- lower taxes; high unemployment- of course lower taxes; starting a war–lower taxes, when we should have a war tax; have a budget surplus?- lower taxes; have a budget deficit and debt–of course lower taxes. Don’t diss job creators by hurting their feelings—lower their taxes!
When will we hear that the cure for cancer is to lower taxes?

The deficit provided us with Solyndra and the likes. Pouring money into things like this will only make our problems bigger. Getting people back to work must mean they are firstly employable and secondly they can produce something people will and can buy.

Beginning last spring around April, or June, it became fairly obvious the Republican Party was
in fact, intentionally attempting to stall, or slow down the economy. Personally, I had a hard
time believing that one of our major political Parties would do such a thing. Not on purpose.
While true, they had not lifted a finger to help pull the economy out of the ditch, in the year, and
a half Democrats held such a strong majority. No, they wouldn’t support, or vote for the stimulus
package. Even though the final version contained most everything they claimed they wanted.
Not one Republican in either chamber cast an affirmative vote. And, all the while telling the
American public, the economy was much worse than they were being told. Not helpful, even
if true. But it wasn’t true. And consumer confidence that the worst was behind us, rose. Of
course after winning big in 2010, and taking the leadership in the House, all efforts to build
on the momentum gained after a very tough ’09, was halted. And, other than the extension
of the Bush tax cuts for an additional year, Republicans showed no interest in economic matters
at all. No programs. No targeted stimulus. We could fix our bridges perhaps? No can do!
In fact, they spent the vast majority of their time in the House, blocking economic bills
originating in the Senate, and passing symbolic measures over, and over aganist ObamaCare.
Or finding new ways to take reproductive choices away from women, and give them to the State.
The closest they ever came to mentioning the Economy was when they got in front of the camera,
and rhetorically ask the President, “Where are the jobs?!” I think it’s why they lost this past
election. Their transparent efforts to work aganist the best interests of the Country, for a political
victory. What other conclusion could we make, after absolutely refusing to raise the debt ceiling?
Of course it had to be raised. The, “wonderful, ” Ryan budgets would require it to be raised.
Boehner said, we must raise the ceiling. But not before making impossible demands for doing so.
And achieving the goal of injecting some fear, and uncertainty into a recovering economy.
Frankly, I just can’t get used to their behavior. I still have a hard time believing it. But, as they
say, facts are facts. They are, what they are. Stubborn little things.

EJ Dionne, useful idiot du jour, once again does his best to distract us from the real issue of the day….. OBOZO’S TAXPAYER FUNDED “GIFT” OF FIGHTER JETS AND TANKS TO THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT.

Here is a real article from a real journalist at Godfather Politics. Hat tip to Marylin Assenheim:
———————

On January 22nd four of the proposed 20 F-16 fighter jets were delivered to Egypt. The jets, decorated with Egypt’s flag on their tails, are part of a $213 million “gift” from the United States, including 200 Abrams tanks. To paraphrase the contemptible Hillary Clinton, Why should that matter? After all, Egypt is already in possession of more than of 200 such aircraft, courtesy of their “friend,” America. What do another four or even 20 such military aircraft in Egypt’s bloody hands matter?

Perhaps it’s because the highly questionable “gift” of such military might was originally intended for Hosni Mubarak in 2010. A fawning Lyin’ King, in collusion with Congress, finding fault with Israel’s ability to defend herself, was working overtime to level the playing field. In case anyone in Washington is paying attention, Hosni Mubarak is no longer in power in Egypt; Mohamed Morsi is. And we don’t know how long that will last.

Morsi is head of a Muslim Brotherhood government. He has threatened to renege on the treaty Egypt has with Israel. He has publicly likened Jews to pigs and dogs. He publicly prays for Israel’s destruction. His thugs employ murder, beatings, and rape to suppress protesters. He has publicly declared (quite accurately in this case) our president to be a liar and the United States an “enemy” of Egypt. In short, he kicks America in the pants while picking our pockets, all with the blessing of our sycophantic, anti-Semitic, imperial President.

Perhaps it matters because development of the F-16, a staple in the military arsenal for more than 25 years, is not static. The aircraft delivered to Egypt are 4th generation models with advanced electronics. John Larson, the vice president of Lockheed, is ecstatic about the deal:

“This is a great day for Lockheed Martin and a testament to the enduring partnership and commitment we have made to the government of Egypt… We remain committed to providing our customer with a proven, advanced 4th Generation multirole fighter… In an air combat role, the F-16′s maneuverability and combat radius exceed that of all potential threat fighter aircraft.”

Why shouldn’t Larson be happy? Thanks to our Commander in Chief, America won’t be purchasing any F-16s. The fiction about calling Egypt a “partner,” though, is a bit difficult to swallow. But if our president gets away with it, day in and day out, why shouldn’t Larson have a crack at it?

The U.S. Air Force adds to the F-16s virtues: “The F-16 can fly more than 500 miles, deliver its weapons with superior accuracy, defend itself against enemy aircraft, and return to its starting point. An all-weather capability allows it to accurately deliver ordnance during non-visual bombing conditions.” How nice for Egypt.

The only countries it has declared worthy of aggression are Israel and America. Israel is considerably closer to Egypt. Well within striking range, according to the Air Force. So, conspiracy theories aside, why is America arming a hostile, insurgent nation?

Perhaps it matters because Egypt’s “Arab Spring” has become a Sha’aria-dominated, winter wasteland. Let us not forget where the “spontaneous,” Muslim uprisings began. They ended with the nothing-to-see-here Benghazi disaster.

It matters because, among Mohamed Morsi, our Congress, and our president, it’s a crapshoot as to who is the most duplicitous…and dangerous.

Have a nice day!
