Why won’t Obama solve our deficit crisis? Is he incapable of any practical solutions?

You are very correct, bacardi.

The Democrats truly believe they can remove water from one end of the pool (the private sector) and pour it into the other end of the pool (the government sector), and the water level (the economy) of the pool will actually increase!

 

You information is out of date.

Here is the correct information.

 

If Obama had done his job correctly, raymondo, we would not have needed a Supercommittee.

Do you remember these earlier promises by Barack Obama? And then he turns around and does not keep them! Instead, he spends and spends until he raises our federal debt to $15 trillion!

And what to the liberals do? They give him a pass!

You are very correct, Talon.

Why the Democrats think they can spend us into oblivion I will never know.

All they have to do is look at Italy, Spain and Greece and they will understand their socialist ideas are doomed to failure!

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. ”
― Margaret Thatcher

 

These are great points, Mad Conservative.

Thanks for sharing.

 

I agree conpletely, PatriotNews.

If we raise taxes, the Democrats will not use these additional revenues to reduce the deficit. They will instead apply these new revenues to their already bloated and very wasteful welfare programs!

 

You are indeed correct, bacardi.

"Democrats have been running our inner-cities for the past 30 to 40 years, and blacks are still complaining about the same problems. More than $7 trillion dollars have been spent on poverty programs since Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty with little, if any, impact on poverty. Diabolically, every election cycle, Democrats blame Republicans for the deplorable conditions in the inner-cities, then incite blacks to cast a protest vote against Republicans.

In order to break the Democrats' stranglehold on the black vote and free black Americans from the Democrat Party's economic plantation, we must shed the light of truth on the Democrats. We must demonstrate that the Democrat Party policies of socialism and dependency on government handouts offer the pathway to poverty, while Republican Party principles of hard work, personal responsibility, getting a good education and ownership of homes and small businesses offer the pathway to prosperity."

I was quite surprised when I first saw the comments posted on this forum. like the one above. "Once we defeat Obama..." Defeat Obama? If I did not know who he was I would have thought he were an insidious dictator. C'mon people, I hope you all realize that he is just ONE person of the 7 billion people that now occupy this earth. Stop blaming all your problems on one person, and take some responsibility...If you want to see change, take it upon yourselves.

 

If your coworker loudly and pointedly refuses to do his job, is it really your responsibility to do it for him? Is it your responsibility to do it again when he takes credit for your work?

 

The situation is quite different for the president of the company.

If you are the CEO (Obama) of the company, your motto should always be, "The buck stops here!"

 

You are on to something, Professor Peabody.

So far, his policies and decisions indicate you are very correct.

 

Appeal to ignorance.

 

Obama often says one thing and then does another.

The man cannot be trusted.

You are correct, merc.

The liberals suffer from class envy and consequently, they want to punish the rich by increasing their taxes. This is all in the name of “income redistribution” which Barack Obama and his socialist supporters love so much.

What they don't realize is when they cast their nets they ensnare the little guy too!

 

And you are correct in your observation. I have noted man times on this forum how this man so willingly and so easily talks out both sides of his mouth. And the MSM let's him get away with it.

I'm no Obama fan and I hope he loses in the next election. But lets be honest, he can't do anything while the Republican Congress is bucking him all the way. I think we all know that.

 

It's good politics. It feeds the working poor and lower middle class idea that everything will be better if you tax the rich. He knows it will do no good even if he was an "F" student.

If he thought for one second that raising taxes on the top 1% would make a difference he would have done it when he had full control of the house and Senate.

 

You are correct in that....

But, its still an excuse for him to blame the Republicans at this juncture since he had two full years to do whatever he liked. He and his party had complete control of the House and Senate...if he really wanted to raise taxes on the rich he could have done it then. Why didn't he?

The only answer I can come up with is he didn't want to. I believe he never foresaw that the deficit and debt would be the issue it has become and so he went on a spending spree....

 

Couldn't agree more. And the hide it behind the "fairness" mantra. Their idea of fairness is the government take that guys money and give it to me. They are not concerned with increasing tax revenues, they don't care their policies will depress tax revenues. That guy over there has too much to take it from him and give it to me is all they care about.

 

Yep. He has said before that he would go over the budget "line by line" to identify programs that aren't working anymore and get rid of them.

What strikes me in the first of those clips is his statement "that's why we are working to reduce the deficit."

What? When did that start? He's addicted to spending and he makes a bold faced lie like that?

 

He had TWO YEARS with a Democrat Congress. He still has a Democrat Senate and he ran on the basis that HE could be bipartisan and work with both sides of the isle and by the shear power of his personality he would get things done.

 

Obama could:

1. Use his unchallenged authority and Executive powers over the CDC to expand that program to include basic preventative care for all Americans, should they opt for it.

2. Impose harsh tariffs on goods manufactured offshore, regardless of who owns the company and what their citizenship is.

3. Healthcare thusly relieved, more Americans could spend that gigantic chunk they used to on premiums and deductables and start buying stuff instead...stimulating the economy.

4. Healthcare thusly relieved, and tariffs thusly imposed, industry would see relocation in the US as a GOOD thing...an affordable thing,..finally.

5. These improvements in place, jobs would pick up, income taxes increase, more GDP to export, trade deficit begins to feel relief...

and the economy will improve...Guaranteed.

Or, continue to cater to the Medical Mafia racket and watch this country spiral down the tubes and into the hands of our enemies to disembowel and carve up between them.

Hm....what to do? Such a TOUGH decision...


Not.

 

The answer is YES! He appears incapable of anything but blathering in front of a teleprompter.

 

Circumventing Congress is the surest way to a plane ride back to Chicago Jan 2013.
