Can no one on the Republican side explain we need a new tax code, not another extension of a Democratic Party Socialist financing gimmick for the Social Security Trust Fund? Don't like the way the current system is funded? Don't vote for politicians who are not going to change that, and Democrat had 2 years as a Super-Majority to change it, if they wanted to.
Didn't we just hear the Senate version is unworkable? This should give all pause that the whole payroll tax cut premise is unworkable.

They’re expecting to Barry to get reelected with that?
To: Son House
so is that what democraps did the last 2 years of the Bush Administration?
The economy was fine until Nazi Pelosi took over
The statistics would back up this claim, and also that it got WORSE under Obambi...
but nothing would support the republicans making things worse since they took over

Yeah. It was downright disheartening to see the way the Republicans in the House and Senate used their clear minority to run roughshod over those Democrats.

This is rich.
Look at the Dems actions in late 2007/2008, leading up to the Presidential election.
Schumer started a run on IndyMac which led to their demise (this guy should be somewhere breaking big rocks into little rocks), and Pelosi initiated an Energy resource scare, that didn't get suppressed until Mrs. Palin started pitching for more drilling. The Dems will always sacrifice the best interests of the Nation to achieve political power... So not a major surprise that they accuse others of indulging in actions which they've honed over years of experience.

After hearing this same Axelrod clip on radio, I have the impression he is a big Socialist like a Soros, and this economic mayhem for de-funding Social Securtiy Trust Fund is just another phase of overloading budgets.

Nasty Nan and her Dummies were in charge when the econ took a nosedive sooooooooooooooooo. It actually is the Dummies that are responsible. If you look back over the past three decades, there is a direct correlation between leading economic indicators and the party that controls the House of Representatives.
Everyone likes to focus on who occupied the Oval Office. But, the federal government can't spend much at all unless the House agrees. It's the way that the US Constitution was written.
There was an exception: the mini-recession that followed the double whammy of the dot-com crash and 9/11. That was really out of either party's control. And the decisions to prosecute the Afghan and Iraq wars were bi-partisan: you can't assign all the responsibility to only one party.
But, we recovered from that pretty quickly. At the end of 2006, unemployment was under 5% and the annual deficit was shrinking. Then, the Democrats took control of Congress and everything went to hell.
However, I don't know if the housing bubble would have popped so quickly in 2008. The Bush administration was trying to defuse it as early as 2006, but Democrats in key positions were stonewalling (even the minority party can block legislation, despite what Barney Frank wants you to think). If the Republicans were still in control in 2007, there might have been a possibility for a soft landing, rather than an uncontrolled crash.

another one of 0bama’s faithful saying that anyone/everyone is more capable that 0bama.
every time they blame the current situation on someone else, what they’re really saying is that 0bama has no sway, no power, no influence...it’s as if he doesn’t exist.

think about it.
every tim 0bama whines “it’s Bush’s fault”, what he’s really saying is “Bush has been gone for YEARS, yet he’s still more ifluential than I am by a long shot”
