Obama deserves this

Spare me. Obama loves this. He can rail against the eeevil capitalists who are screwing "working families and their children" just to protect their excessive wealth, and then he can extend new benefits to laid off workers and fold the cost into the new "revenue enhancements" spineless Boehner has submitted to. Everything is going according to obama's plan so far.

These management types at Boeing have the cash and the connections and know the law firms that could make zero have a really, really bad hair day!

Really? Which one has laid a hand on him so far?

Liberals have no idea how a business works. I know some people in healthcare who were all for obamacare so it would lower healthcare costs. They’re to stupid to understand that if the cost truly goes down, so does their salaries. All healthcare providers will end up working for the government for less pay. And they’ll do it gladly ‘cause there ain’t gonna’ be anywhere else they can work.

“Had Romney won, I was going to go ahead and order next year’s appointment keeper just out of enthusiasm. So an appointment keeper maker didn’t get my business this year.”

As a Ramseyite, I was living like no one else to get my house paid off. I am very close and so I started working on a list of improvements and other spending. I was going to be spending about $48K on various large projects and products/services over the next couple of years. I am revisiting it now and will be minimizing it to the max. I’m betting I could drop that down to $5,700 max.

Some may look at that as revenge, when the reality is that I have to plan for inflation degrading the value of my money, I have to plan on tax increases and I have to plan for other generally bad economic news. I can’t afford to not try to protect myself as much as is possible!

barbara streisand and uncle fat warren will never pay more taxes...

the taxes on the "rich" are going to be small business owners and doctors....maybe two teachers even though we all know how poorly the teachers,cops, firemen get paid..HA!

no....the rich do not pay taxes like the workers do...never have, never will....

bammy just wants the whole country to be more dependent...

our work ethic....that work is important, and its so important that you can actually better your circumstances by doing it....is going, going, going, as more and more people realize that its not worth it....

you can be poor working with all the taxes or you can stay home and have a nice quiet life watching football on tv and drinking beer...

sorry Jim but no....the govt workers never feel the consequences...

everytime a govt cries that they have to cut their budgets, all they are doing is reducing ever so slightly the increase in the budget...

how many times have we read that a school district "lays off " teachers in June only to hire them all back by August....many times.....I think they do it so the teachers can collect unemployment too....

there's being "different" and then there's being stupid....people that rationalize "principle" are really just saying that they are arrogant,self aggrandizing narcissists who could care less about anyone else...

personally, I've never had the opportunity to vote for who I really liked....I never will....but, I've also would never vote to destroy my kids, my grandkids, my nieces and nephews chances in this world, which is what RATISM does....

I was talking about people who vote main party because to do otherwise would be different, not about people indulging in contrarian tendencies.
Your statement about principle is simply wrong; there are people that really do have lines they are not willing to cross -- indeed, I respect very much the people that thought "I can't vote for Romney" and voted 3rd party, to say that they wasted their vote or cost the GOP the election is to assert that their vote is not theirs but really the GOP's.

personally, I've never had the opportunity to vote for who I really liked....I never will....but, I've also would never vote to destroy my kids, my grandkids, my nieces and nephews chances in this world, which is what RATISM does....

And who we were offered given by the GOP was a rat in everything but the letter after his name: he's the creme of the Republican's liberal crop. -- So if you voted for Romney, then you voted to destroy your kids, grand-kids, &c.

When was the last time the Republicans tried to end handouts? (The most I recall is "reform.")
Do not forget that the bailouts were started by the Republicans: TARP and the airlines before that.
