    The fat drug addict is right. You know, that's pretty pitiful if you think about it. He is the Messiah for the Republican party, and look at how it has self-imploded upon itself, just by listening to him tell the party what to do. The feeding frenzy for misinformation and fabrications became a need for them, as a way to keep the ship afloat, and Limbaugh fed the need. The problem now is, the ship took on way too much water with the inclusion of Trump, and now Rush's ship is sinking fast.

    I have a solution to your problem. See, you're worried about that 1% having too much money, and the other 99% not having enough money, right?

    How about if congress were to make it legal to print your own money? Obama could march over to yellen's office and tell her "You're fired!" and then make the printing press plates downloadable from the net. Then anytime you want some money you can just print up what you need. No need to have Obama up in his chopper working up a sweat with a pitchfork shoveling money to Americans. Anybody that wants could print up what they need! Homeless? Go to your local library and use one of their printers, and then push your shopping carts full of empty aluminum cans and printed up money straight to the nearest real estate office.

    Sometimes I'm just so intelligent it's scary!!!! :cool:

    Why can't the rightists see that?
    What do you think it will take for them to open their eyes? I thought the disaster of bush the loser would do it but that only made them close their eyes tighter and ramp up the BS, so how low do we have to go for them to get it?

    More 5th grader comments and nothing else.
    Amazing that the rightists think they deserve to have power and run things when they can't think above this level.

    What's wrong with my idea of letting people print their own money up?

    Duh ... :blankstare:

    That's why it's a deficit in the first place. We spend more than we take in.

    The question I asked was rhetorical because nobody from either party, liberals or conservatives, are willing to actually pay for our spending.

    Republicans only have the House because of gerrymandering.

    They Senate will be going back into Dem hands in 2017.

    Dems rubberstamped Bush jr's illegal warmongering!

    What I expect is that both sides COMPROMISE just like St Reagan did with the Dems and Clinton did with the Republicans.

    What the Republicans want is a one party state, their way or the highway, that doesn't work in reality.

    In my opinion, both sides play power politics, and both are a part of the same hypocrisy.

    I don't really like either one of them.

    The data speaks for itself. We're doing something different than we have been doing in the past 60-70 years. And the economy is not doing well. Maybe we should stop this obstructionism and go back to doing what worked in the past. What worked for Reagan, Clinton, Bush, etc. But we know this is exactly what the Republicans wanted. But you gotta admire Obama's work even though he was obstructed every step up the way. Approval rating up to 52% with a Republican lead Congress at 9% and their current Presidential nominee at 34%. Southern conservatives are the worst.

    Cut their pay and benefits by 25% to 50% and hire that many more, problem solved. What your asking is to do the exact same thing that has failed in Japan since the early 1990's.

    Sounds like a fun path towards slavery. Instead of wanting laborers to make more money or get more benefits, you want to make them work just as much for less. Sounds like a fun plan. Especially when our disparity of wealth rivals those of 3rd world countries. Plutocracy 101.

    Taking into account you presented nothing in the way of a counter argument, by insulting the 99%, without engaging the facts I presented on the ground, one would certainly have to be scared of that kind of intelligence, when it is used in such a way that never says anything. Yea, that's scary alright.

    It's funny how none of these guys use any numbers, graphs, statistics, data or anything to support their positions. Just their thoughts. My favorite is how this Belch character still thinks the government should run the country like he runs his own finances. Conservatives have such childish like minds, but they are the most confident in their beliefs. It's very cult like. I'll I'm showing is we are doing something different than the past in the past 7 years. There's no way to argue against that. It speaks for itself. Austerity fails everywhere.

    You have been disproven many times yet you continue to create the same threads. From the fake Clinton surplus to the false claim that Obama has not busted the budget, you have been shown to be a brainwashed troll. Few people care about your posts anymore.

    So, here is what I have learned over the years in trying to get through to these folks. I have a few Republican friends who I've known most of my life, who just dismiss me as some Liberal who has lost his way, but we get along fine. Another one, who is not politically active, who goes to church, tells me all these details about Obama and how bad he is, "IN THE CHURCH". So, no telling what all these so called preachers/political activists are telling their members? This is where a lot of the disconnect between factual information, and the truth begin. These folks learn in church to dismiss actual facts, and replace it with an ideology liking to them, and that terrible Obama is coming for your freedoms. Lol! The sad part about this is, going back to obstructionism and income disparity, the very people who are holding them back, are the very people they support.

    What to do about it? "VOTE"! It's the only weapon the Left has beside sheer numbers. The Right has been medicated so much with lies, misinformation, church propaganda, hate, intolerance, fear, you name it, that the Right-wing has become a cult.

    In many ways, the Left will have to rise up and work through, past, and around the Right, without them, if the country and the world are to survive. In some ways, Obama has cleverly done that.

    Remember, the Left deals with facts and the truth, not ideological fantasy. And that is a powerful reality, that the Right does not have. When you have the truth on your side, and that is what we pedal, sooner or later that truth will win. It already has won in some ways with the implosion of the Republican party and Donald Trump, yet, many of us don't see it.

    So, don't worry too much about the Right getting it. The truth reveals itself in small doses every day, just like it has been doing, and some on the Right will eventually see the light at the tunnel, while others will cling to denial until they have become an Island.

    There is something that I would also like to sell, that may seem silly, yet alarmingly real, that you may or may not feel is related to this discussion. I happen to think it is in so many ways, from the standpoint of just being in the animal kingdom. This is just food for thought. Take it any way you like. I view human civilization/ existence/ perpetuation, the same way I view all species in the animal kingdom. Every species on the planet, directly or indirectly need each other to perpetuate their own kind, to survive as a species. We seem hell bent on doing just the opposite as a species. Just saying! That said, I hope you and others "catch" my drift, as it relates to our problem with Republicans "getting it". "This" in my opinion, is what "we all" need to get.

    So, now that I went and got off the reservation just a bit, in the meantime, we need to keep pushing for what we know is right for us all, and expose the nastiness of dishonesty every chance we get. Which is what I've tried to do on this forum as others have done. And for the most part it works, when we call them out on their fabrications. Once you pin them down by asking them to explain their made up claims, they are usually long gone, trying to spread another one, on another thread.





    ROTLMAO!!
    So pathetic.

    How the left loves to blame the right and vice versa...So let me remind you that from 2005 - 2011 the Dems held majorities in the House and Senate as well as the Presidency. So where is the obstructionism again? So in 2011 the Republicans won the House and in 2015 won the Senate so only for a year and a half have The Republicans held the majority...So your premise is just shot to hell.

    Yep, liberals think very highly of themselves and pat themselves on the back without realizing they are really showing their insecurities.

    No, that's not why you can't explain why I'm wrong. You can't because I'm saying the same thing that the OP is, which you agree with. That we need to start printing money and get it circulating.

    Well if that's so, then let's make it a group effort.
