The argument should be this...
You cannot reduce the debt by increasing the debt...
Exactly.
When the dims accuse the repubs of something you can be assured that is what they are doing.
Republicans want to destroy the economy so more people will become dependent on Government for their sustenance and thereby be indebted to Republicans in the next election cycle.....uhhhhhh.....wait a minute......or am I thinking of DemcoRATS?
Got a question - Isn't jobs recovery and the defeat of Obama in 2012 the same thing?
Since he became President we have lost jobs primarily because of his policies. Doesn't it follow that his defeat in 2012, and stopping his policies, lead to better chances of job recovery?
Oh, I am sooo sorry, I thought about things instead emotional reacting.
There is no legislative fix for what the Republic has become.
The Founders never intended for the people that vote for socialists to have the franchise.
There is no closing that barn door.
I’m not sure; the stark fiscal reality of having the government be not only the employer of last resort, but the employer of preference, focuses the attention on the idea of limiting government in a way that nothing much else does is the way it looks to me.
Even if the GOP wanted a weak economy, they don’t need to lift a finger to hurt it. Just let the DOP have its wicked way with it, and it’ll be plenty hurting in 2012. That worked in 2010.
Nobody is even discussing direct public layoffs! Ultimately, it would be the decision of each agency to determine how it will balance any cuts they get. Some may be laid off, others may simply cease more hiring.
FWIW, though, entitlements ARE a much bigger piece of the pie than government salaries are.
I come from a different viewpoint here. My wife is a federal employee, one who also has private sector experience prior to it.
If she lost her job, we probably would be screwed as she earns far more than I do.
Now, in a “normal” economy, she’d probably easily be able to find a private sector job that would be similar enough in duties and salary that we’d be fine, but in Obama’s economy, not so much.
She was private sector, did well, and has the aptitude and intelligence to go back there.
Problem is, Obama’s policies have so decimated her line of work in the private sector, that it would be difficult.
I wonder if that was the intent all along...
As soon as I saw this headline, I just knew it was our own a$$hole governor that said this...
I’d love to get out of this hellhole of a liberal wasteland...
I’m not interested in berating anybody for the individual choices they made in their careers. A lot of people who went to work for any number of large corporations, Chrysler for instance, probably went home to pats on the back and accolades from their friends and family—”You’re set until you retire , man”— what happened to them when the assembly plant folded to economic reality? Unfortunately, that grim economic reaper is coming knocking at the door of government employees now. By what argument is that not appropriate? Blame the politicians who have carried on the grand old tradition of political patronage to the point that some order of collapse is inevitable.
No one wants to hear from one of the worst Governors in America.
When people have ALREADY been out of work two years; when Ivy League law school graduates are only getting hired about 50% of the time; when an all-time record number of citizens are now on food stamps (and that, after the exodus to Mexico of millions of illegals because there are no more flimsy McMansion building projects for them)...
it's a little late to murmur that the Republicans are GOING to wreck the economy.
There's one more step between a Tea Party and things getting nasty.
Tar, Feathers, Pitchfork, Democrat.
Some assembly required.
Cheers!
I have to live with this AH, After a massive state tax increase on the middle class and poor he gets easily re-elected (partly thanks to RINO opponent Ehrlich) and does what?? He raises our taxes again and gives illegals state college tuition aid. He failed at same sex marriage, not that popular with his own political base (Hispanics and blacks), but just said he will try it again. He calls it 'marriage equality'. It makes me sick.
a criminal enterprise that uses collectivism and the concept of the egalitarian paradise as a front for their criminal activities.
I think you’re getting them mixed up with Islam.
A simple mistake anyone could make.
