The Obamaloon’s math instructor also did the numbering on his out of order “birth photoshop”...er...”birth faketificate(s)”

"The math is the math. You can't lower (tax) rates and raise revenues."

Can't believe Obama has even the slightest education sometimes.

You can't lower airline ticket prices and increase your profit...right? /s

[varina davis]

Basic math is above Obama’s pay grade — but cooking the books is right up his alley.

They don’t teach math in the Poly-Sci program at Columbia. They don’t teach a Balance Sheet either. But if higher cigarette taxes discourage smoking. What behavior do higher Income Taxes discourage?

[Truth29]

Obama understands math well enough to be working overtime to make sure that the upcoming Presidential election is rigged with a combination of ID fraud, illegals voting, the dead voting and the prevention of electoral safeguards that might interfere with his reelection.

Obama is good comic relief. Thanks for this.

[Balata]

It’s too bad Obama’s Stupidity doesn’t hurt him more than it’s going to hurt us.

These arguments have been cited many times however Republicans trapped themselves politically just recently when they insisted that the FICA tax cut extensions ‘must be paid for’ with spending cuts after insisting that the Bush tax cut extensions do not have to 'be paid for' because they are revenue neutral or positive, as the above argues. The fact that Bush left office in January 2009 with tax revenues plumeting (and that is when SS first started running deficits) makes it even more difficult to sell the argument, a good rule is to have revenues still increasing at the end of a Republican POTUS term and this will be much easier.

POTUS candidates always propose tax reform plans that using static CBO analysis will collect less revenue than existing law. However to get it through the Senate with a simple majority vote (using budget reconcilation) it must be revenue neutral or positive when scored by the CBO or it will expire after ~ 10 years as did the GWB tax cuts.

Dealing with this prez is like a Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny Cartoon..
-OR-
Wiley E.Coyote vs. BEEP.beep the Bird brain

After all they elected this morooon..

America elected Daffy Duck and packed Congress with Elmer Fudd’s..
AND is getting ready to run Droopy(Willard) against Daffy..

American politics has become Film Noir...

It is NOT lack of understanding economic realities, that drive liberals.

It is their desire for power and control, which is accomplished by lying to the masses and manipulating them.

[sportutegrl]

Obama also said that our employers would save 3000% (three thousand percent) on health insurance if Obamacare passed.

[Bernard Marx]

"All Presidents that had lowered tax rates that stimulated more economic activity"

And that's the rub. Obama is a Communist. He is adamantly opposed to free enterprise and private economic growth.

He believes with religious fervor that the State, though virtually unlimited power to tax, should redistribute wealth in what he considers a "fair" way.

Of course that mindset shows no understanding of what really powers successful economies. But it isn't his math that's faulty; it's his Marxist ideology.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Obama and dems don't care about raising revenues, it all about “purposes of fairness”

He wants to be reelected so he can finish the destruction of this great nation

[Kaslin]

There has to be a reason why he hides his college grades and papers

[MrB]

“fairness” must be determined by someone with the power to implement it.

So, really, it’s not even about “fairness”, it’s about POWER.

[xzins]

I guarantee you that if they were years and years of 4.0 gpa that we’d know about it. I guarantee that if he’d maxed the SAT, ACT, GRE, and/or LAT that we’d know about it.

I think we’d know if he’d even hit the 95th percentile.

But....crickets....

Tells me he was nothing more than an ‘also-ran’.
