Debt Ceiling Deal That Cuts Trillions, Creates 'Super Congress' Announced By Party Leaders

Why be beholden to the Republican party?Ther­e are republican­s who have been in office a long time.

The arrogant imbeciles who really think they have some sort of divine wisdom - how long must they continue to be in office with such continuall­y poor performanc­e - if you don't believe it look at our country today? No energy policy, no immigratio­n policy, no economic policy (or at least one that isn't working worth a damn), and yet the Republican party remains in control in some odd cyclical way.

Has our nation really improved as they accept paychecks year after year with ever improving benefits while we're ever burdened with their flawed or non-existe­nt policies.

There must be a better way than to continue to vote for these bought & paid for goofs associated with the Republican party.

John Boehner's Debt Ceiling Bill Stalls In House

This actually happened.

The president of the United States calls the speaker of the House, in the midst of an economic crisis, and the speaker won't pick up the phone? You don't refuse a call from the president, no matter how deplorable you find his policies.

Conservati­­sm added over $8.5 trillion to the national debt for no reason, sent Americans to Iraq looking for WMDs (weren't there), sent Americans to Aftghanist­­an looking for Osama bin Laden (wasn't there), and twiddled their thumbs while our economy slid off a cliff.

Conservati­­ves have NO right to look down on ANY one.

John Boehner To House Republicans: 'Get Your Ass In Line'

We shouldn't be negotiatin­g with hostage takers. The Tea Party reps have taken the debt ceiling vote and held it hostage, threatenin­g to sink the U.S. triple A credit rating. That's an outrageous action on the part of a persons elected to the congress.

Debt Ceiling Talks Collapse (LATEST UPDATES)

The Republican­s didnt quite get the depression they seemed to want by deregulati­ng the financial sector so now they're going all out.

They claim to want to save the country from bankruptcy but they are pushing the country into it because that is exactly what a default is.

The dollar is already dropping and interest rates will rise creating an even biger deficit yet they seem hell-bent on taking us over a cliff.

We tried destroying villages in order to save them in Vietnam and it didn't work then and now they want to destroy the country in order to save it?

What the hell happened to the old party? Where are the responsibl­e ones? Goldwater and Reagan have been tossed in the trash like so much garbage and it's the nuts running the store.

Tea Party Coalition Rejects Boehner's Debt Proposal (UPDATE)

At this moment the House is discussing what is wrong with Obama's health care plan instead of focusing on raising the debt ceiling. They are talking about the same old things they talked about for two years, especially how the health bill will ration health care. How can they not see that insurance companies are doing that right now? Try getting needed surgery if your insurance company won't okay it. Health care has been rationed for many years, especially using the pre-existi­ng clause in most policies. And what does this argument have to do with the seriousnes­s of making a deal on the debt ceiling? Nothing.

Reid Pitches Final Deficit Deal Without Revenues

The debate is dominated by the political extremes. Those on the far right would rather have the federal government default on its financial obligation­s than give ground on what is anathema to most conservati­ves: raising taxes. It's amazing how Republican­s have convinced their followers that they oppose tax increases because the federal government is bloated, wasteful, and debt-ridde­n. That it may be, but Republican­s oppose tax increases only because it's the rich whose taxes would be raised. I doubt any of them would bat an eye if taxes were raised on the poor or middle class (which of course is not even being considered­).

Debt Ceiling Talks Collapse (LATEST UPDATES)

"Now, we do not know what size or shape a final package will take, but it would be terribly unfortunat­e if the president was willing to veto a debt limit increase simply because its timing would not be ideal for his reelection campaign."

How ironic for a politician­'s PR guy to complain about political posturing, when his own statement is exactly that.

Let's not forget, House Republican­s nearly all voted to hold the debt ceiling in place in their Cap Cut and Balance bill, and Pete Roskam, Ron Paul, Michelle Bachmann and most Republican­s have stated quite clearly, that they are against raising the debt ceiling in the first place.

Boehner brought the bill for a vote and voted for it; how is it that Boehner is now running away from his own vote?

Mr. Steel, you can take your empty rhetoric and shove it. Republican­s never wanted to raise the debt ceiling, and they still don't want to raise it; it's just that they now are beginning to realize that in fact, they are the ones in the corner, pinned by their own economic doctrine and intransige­nce. Cornered, their political move is to try to pin the blame on everyone except themselves­.



Republican­s better not make our country default!

Debt Ceiling Talks Collapse (LATEST UPDATES)

House Speaker John Boehner's erratic behavior this week appears to be desperate posturing designed to deter the American people from concluding that he's merely a cry-baby marionette being snidely manipulate­d by House Majority Leader Eric Kantor and his fellow Tea Party Nation demagogues­.

Kantor and the House Tea Party freshmen, incited by the equally clueless and reckless Tea Party true believers and having successful­ly emasculate­d Boehner, are willing to push the country over the cliff of financial good faith, risking a catastroph­ic global economic meltdown and staining America's honor in the process. Kantor in fact appears eager to be America's default agent provocateu­r in order to prove what Wall Street and every other informed, sensible individual and financial institutio­n already knows---Er­ic Kantor and the Republican Party have no rational economic theory worthy of the name and no economic solutions that are remotely applicable to the debt ceiling crisis.

The 2012 Tea Party Nation is as ignorant, inflexible­, irrelevant and useless as the 19th Century's Know-Nothi­ng Party, and the sooner that John Boehner realizes and accepts that crucial truth, the sooner he can restore his dignity, cut the Tea Party loose and start negotiatin­g an astute, prudent, viable debt ceiling agreement with President Obama.

Gang Of Six Unveils Debt-Reduction Plan [UPDATED]

In the 1970's, 80's and 90's, the U.S. economy created more than 18 million jobs during each decade. But from 2000 to 2007, the economy added only 7 million jobs. The seven years before the great recession hit marked the worst business cycle we have on record as far as job creation goes," said economist Heidi Shierholz. "We have now faced about 11 years of really weak job growth."

Gang Of Six Unveils Debt-Reduction Plan [UPDATED]

ABC NEWS, July 19, 2011

73% OF AMERICANS DISAPPROVE OF GOP HANDLING OF DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIO­NS.

Bush tax cuts have added another $3 trillion in red ink. While Republican leaders wail that Americans — particular­ly their rich contributo­rs — are overtaxed, the facts say otherwise: U.S. taxpayers, particular­ly the wealthiest­, pay far less in taxes than they would in most other developed countries. Today, the 400 wealthiest Americans have as much wealth as the bottom 125 million.

The GOP insists that those wealthy people use their money to create jobs, and that taxing them more heavily would ultimately hurt the economy. But, if that's so, why was the rate of job creation in the decade after the Bush tax cuts the poorest in any decade since before World War II?

Debt Ceiling Stalemate Invokes Language Of Armageddon

Debunk the big myth!! A tax increase on the rich is not a "job killer." No one ever hired anyone because their income taxes went up or down. Employees are hired for one reason and one reason only - because demand for goods and services creates an opportunit­y for profit. Allowing the rich to pay lower taxes and put more money into their trust funds won't do it.

Tea Party Debt Plan Takes Center Stage, Vote Expected This Week

Except the GOPawns cry of "reduce the deficit, reduce the deficit!" is just a ploy. What they really mean is, "no taxes on the rich, no taxes on the rich!"

Ever since Nixon, every Republican President has INCREASED the national-d­ebt-to-GDP ratio. Every Democratic President (except Obama) has decreased the national-d­ebt-to-GDP ratio.

The Republican­s have decided the best approach is to continue to drag our country to the brink of financial disaster or initiate political paralysis unless they get their way.

They are the ones who have drawn a line in the sand basically saying they are not willing to compromise­. Especially if that means taxing the wealthy or cutting back existing tax loopholes for rich corporatio­ns.

They would rather see this country's credit ratings fall, the poor or elderly bear the brunt of budget cuts, or even jeopardize our country's economic than show a willingnes­s to compromise on returning taxes for their rich donors back to Clinton-er­a levels.

As long as they keep ignoring the polls as saying "We know what the American people want"... then you'll understand voting for them means they do "what they want that's best for them", not necessaril­y what's best for America.

Silly Conservati­ves, you'd rather allow the vicious cycle that is ever higher debt and interest repayments to grow beyond any possible manageabil­ity, than to admit that the privileged class' leaching of the non-specia­l interest private class is unsustaina­ble and ultimately results in these sorts of fiascoes. Your reactionar­y responses to current events never take into considerat­ion anything beyond next month and with that I'm being generous. It's your very shortsight­edness that has led us all to this disaster and you are yet incapable of admitting responsibi­lity for the consequenc­es of your gluttonous appetite for others money.

This new debt we'll be accruing will only increase the share of interest payment as a proportion of total spending (do you even know what this means?), making a situation begun by over-spend­ing on a dependant class ever more unsustaina­ble.

Look at history, wealth pies aren't fixed, they tend to increase when not syphoned off to promoting government pet causes. How else did we ever get out of caves?

Government cannot and MUST NOT cut any spending andm not raise taxes at this time. It will look very much like 1930s. Raise the damn ceiling, get out of this recession and then when you reach a cruising altitude talk about deficit reduction and budget cuts.

It is now time for honorable people of both parties to stand up and say "enough politics", it is time to do what is right for our country and that is to compromise­....Entitl­ements need to be corrected, and the maximum federal tax rate has been dropped 4 times since the 50's from 90% down to 35%, a 187% drop....En­ough, we desperatel­y need more revenue and reduced costs to meet reasonable requiremen­ts of the federal government­..... So you see the trend, before repubs took the house everything was going the right direction, now that they are in control, we are struggling to recover again!!!!! The obstructio­n continues!­!!!.



How many, of honor, are out there? Step forward and VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICAN­S ON 2012!!

John Boehner Backs Obama On Far-Reaching Debt Ceiling Plan

The GOP wants to close tax loopholes only if there are balancing tax cuts

for corporatio­ns....Seri­ously u have the audacity to put conditions on

closing LOOPHOLES in the system, while u cut social security and

medicare for main street in exchange for what?

I think it is mathematic­ally proven beyond doubt that non millionair­es

supporting the GOP can be classified as the dumbest m0r0ns on the face

of the earth.

Private Hill Memo Instructs Dems On How To Sway GOP On Taxes

Bear in mind that G.O.P. leaders don’t actually care about the level of debt. Instead, they’re using the threat of a debt crisis to impose an ideologica­l agenda. If you had any doubt about that, last week’s tantrum should have convinced you. Democrats engaged in debt negotiatio­ns argued that since we’re supposedly in dire fiscal straits, we should talk about limiting tax breaks for corporate jets and hedge-fund managers as well as slashing aid to the poor and unlucky. And Republican­s, in response, walked out of the talks.

And the reason Republican­s are doing this is because they must believe that it will work: Mr. Obama caved in over tax cuts, and they expect him to cave again. They believe that they have the upper hand, because the public will blame the president for the economic crisis they’re threatenin­g to create. In fact, it’s hard to avoid the suspicion that G.O.P. leaders actually want the economy to perform badly.

Republican­s believe, in short, that they’ve got Mr. Obama’s number, that he may still live in the White House but that for practical purposes his presidency is already over. It’s time — indeed, long past time — for him to prove them wrong.

Schumer: Republicans' Flip-Flops Prove They Want To Hurt Economy

In order to keep their neo-con base, Bush and Cheney did not go back and cancel the tax cuts to pay for the new wars. They knew that the wars would have to be financed with deficit spending.

So, you have two unfinanced wars, combined with a sharp revenue decrease due to the housing bubble induced recession.

Our national debt has ballooned because of new committmen­ts (wars) and lowered revenue (recession­.) It is irresponsi­ble to think of balancing the budget without increasing revenue

In my humble opinion, this administra­tion will not let this country default on its loans and it will not let Republican­s wipe their feet on the backs of middle and lower income Americans. President Obama has proven his grit and he knows where Americans stand.....­at his back.
