http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/23/fiscal.summit/index.html?section=cnn_latest Complaints and Compliments 1) The deficit is not $1.3 trillion, that is just the budget deficit from last year. You are not reducing the deficit by reducing the budget deficit. As long as there is still a budget deficit we are still loosing money. DAMMIT MEDIA LEARN TERM! 2) I was watching the news and Mitch McConnell was on, opposing to slashing the budget by that much. What the *censored*. Your party just opposed the stimulus because you said it was fiscally irresponsible and too expensive, but then you disagree with slashing the budget? Are you just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing? 3) "He also pledged to end no-bid contracts in Iraq" THANK YOU! That system needs to be *censored* removed. They get more funding the more money they spend ("Iraq For Sale") 4) "Rep. Joe L. Barton, R-Texas, told Obama that if he is interested in bipartisanship, then he should encourage House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to "have a true, open process" in crafting legislation. The stimulus bill passed this month with no GOP votes in the House and only three in the Senate." Good joke Joe. Remember in 2005-2007 when your party passed so many bills by 1-2 votes only because DeLay went around breaking arms? No Democratic support, not even full republican support? Now, if you guys went to the bargaining table with the stimulus package instead of just saying "tax cuts only, FDR did the great depression, infrastructure spending doesn't help the economy" then maybe it would have been more bi-partisan. 5) "Obama intends to cut the federal deficit in half primarily by spending less on the war in Iraq, raising taxes on those who make more than $250,000 a year and streamlining government, an administration official told CNN Saturday." BUDGET DEFICIT DAMMIT. GET IT RIGHT. |
