    But it was OK with you to pass the POS through bribes, backroom deals and kickbacks. Got it.

    Well what I'm actually saying is ... is giving a heads-up ... a fair-warning ... to some of our more big mouth conservatives ... who might waltz into a bar or social-gathering and laugh and name-call at someone who was just furloughed and layed-off by conservatives.

    What other people do is on them. See, I believe in personal accountability, responsibility and choice. Does that make me a bad person, absolutely not. It doesn't mean that I do not care about the less fortunate than me. I believe that help should be available to those who can justify the need for it. I am sorry that my heart doesn't bleed for a 29 year old woman who hasn't worked in 9 years because she has a seizure every other year and thinks that isn't a reason to work. I am sorry that the failed social policies of the left have left generations of those less fortunate in its wake and those who are now trapped and dependant on the government for food, housing, medicine, and everything else in their lives are going to be hurt by this liberal grandstanding. Contrary to popular belief I believe you are responsible for yourself, you make your own choices and enjoy the fruits of those choices or suffer the consequences, good or bad.

    In other words you'll make sure you're laughing at weak people and calling them teat-suckers but not the big dude contractor with mouths to feed who just lost his job because of *********s ... nothing worse than losing your job to conservative high-treason pee pee's ..

    You have done yourself no justice in trying to label me. Your reading comprehension is pathetic. I have no problem with assistance for those who really need it. For those that do not, why should I? My mother works for the Federal Government, she has been smart and lived within her means and saved for an event just like this, its not the first time it has happened in history, she was smart. Was "the big dude" reference supposed to scare me or something. I would tell the big dude as a contractor that you never know where the next contract is coming from and should prepare accordingly, then I would have laughed at him again, cause I doubt very highly that he is bigger than I am if that is the reference you are looking for. Let's make no bones about it, this isn't on the conservatives, there has been plenty of opportunity for the maniac left to make a move to the middle and negotiate, they chose not to. Now it is the left's voter block that will suffer. So what will the left's leadership do?

    Entitlement-class workers? You can't make this stuff up folks. You mean the entitlement class you have to work to be furloughed. And then the working class, Like I said, I would hope a government contractor would be smart enough to understand that contracts don't last forever, and put up for a gap in payment. 2nd amendment remediasts? That is rich. Again is that supposed to scare me of something? Laughable.

    There's that word again.

    Obama and Reid turned heads the first time they recklessly used it.

    But that wears off as unimaginative lib parrots overuse the term.

    I've yet to see someone explain why it should not apply to a group that threatens harm and damage if their political demands, which they cannot achieve through legitimate means, are not given in to.

    Yes the Mayor can.

    Since the Originations Clause is written in English, it's not necessary for the Mayor to do so. Anyone that can quote the Originations Clause can see where the violation lies.

    King Obama will "negotiate" with the dictator of Russia.

    King Obama will "negotiate" with the dictator of Syria.

    King Obama will run around BEGGING the "president" of Iran for a simple handshake.

    King Obama BOWS to the misogynist dictators of Islam.

    King Obama FLATLY REFUSES to discuss the prioritization of national funding for the United States.

    Hairy No Discernible Negro Dialect Reid, a RACIST like King Obama, FLATLY REFUSES to discuss, with a CO-EQUAL branch of government, the prioritization of national funding for the United States.

    The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES has presented the People's Priorities for this current Continuing Resolution..

    The DemocRATS have REFUSED to discuss it.

    The DemocRATS have forced the government shut down. That's the inescapable fact of the matter.

    But you'll keep posting your lies anyways. When have FACTS mattered to anyone capable of voting for DemocRATs, anyway?

    According to the fools that support Keyanesian Economic Theory, there's NEVER a time to cut government spending, there's NEVER even a time to cut government spending INCREASES.

    Just LOOK at the above post.

    Hairytic says the government HAS to spend money when the economy is in recovery.

    Hairytic says the government HAS to spend money when the economy is in recession.

    There are TWO, and ONLY TWO, phases to the economic cycle: Recession, and then Recovery until the next inevitable Recession.

    There's no definition of "boom times" outside of the Recession/Recover duality. The counterpoint to "boom" is "bust" (leave Clinton out of this). All the word "boom" means is "recovery", all the word "bust" means is "recession".

    So, according to Hairytic, there's NEVER a time to cut spending.


    The best time to cut government spending, in the real world?

    When the government has to borrow from enemies to keep the useless in corn-flakes....while importing illegal alien labor to do jobs everyone stupid enough to vote for Obama like to pretend won't be done without Invader Labor.

    The RATS are desperate for a single Republican vote FOR MessiahCare, and this is their last grasp.

    The RATS forced an illegal unconstitutional program to destroy the nation's health insurance industry, NOBODY but the Stupids like it, and the RATS are trying to pass ownership off to the Republicans for the 2014 election.

    The government should stay shut down for as long as it takes for the public to become aware of this FACT.

    If you are going to call other people "fools" don't you think you ought to be accurate in your statements?

    Keyensian theory, to my understanding, doesn't say never cut spending at all.

    To the contrary, it argues that deficit spending stimulus needed when the economy is in a recession should be offset by spending cut backs and surpluses when the economy is running strong.

    The problem with our Govt is that the last three Republican presidents we've had ran huge deficits even when the economy was doing well.

    Our nation's health insurance industry was destroyed? When did that happen?

    But what's not to like about private insurance? Given the option, they milk huge premiums out of you your entire life, and then cut you off just as soon as you have a illness or pre-existing condition that makes you a greater risk. And apply fine print technicalities and loopholes to deny you coverage when you most need it. They are a swell bunch of guys to entrust your health to.

    That's a load of what the cows leave out in the pasture.

    Note Hairy No Discernible Negro Dialect Reid's FLAT REFUSAL to go to conference with the Americans over the Senate's closure of the Federal government.

    Destroying the First Amendment was one of the goals of MessiahCare.

    You have some issue with the Republicans attempting to stop the implementation of an unconstitutional law?

    Why do you want an unconstitutional law to be implemented?

    Typical lib-speak, pretending throwing money at a bad idea will make it a good idea, when it always never does more than making a bad idea an expensively bad idea.

    Why do you support the implementation of an expensively bad unconstitutional idea?

    No.

    It's called their duty under the Constitution.

    The plans in Obamacare are equivalent to private insurance cost and will also be adjusted for the costs, just as private insurance does. The law of covering pre-existing conditions could have been passed without the massive Obamacare nightmare but like all insurance, the cost would have to be included.

    Right now the plan depends on the young to pay in to pay for the old. How many of those will forgo the expensive plans for the penalty which is $95 or 1% of your income whichever is more?
