I think we CAN NOT get along……Dems and GOP. I would have had a small fortune if the crooks and thieves in Washington hadn’t stole it from me. Oh yeas, I am a priveledged white guy so that means I now have to stand back while these lousy folks steal the money from me and future generations…let’s see. All you LIBS…what do YOU think of the Ruling Class Elites, they get free haircuts, special parking priveldges at airports, their own healthcare system. (they won’t have to partake in the mess they created called Oboma Care?, a super special pension, they don’t have to worry about social security, their kids get speciaol consideration too. But that’s OK with the Commie Left in this country.
It would not be hard to cut 10% off of government largess each year until we had things balanced.

“Wolfs” Boehner and the rest of the GOP continue to show their idiotic delusions for a one-party government yet again. We actually need more taxes right now — especially from the SUPER-RICH whom the Republicans continue to regard as GODS. Why don’t Boehner and the other GOP clowns come clean and admit they would rather WORSHIP the rich rather than tax them?! FOOLS! How do they expect the rapidly deteriorating American infrastructure to get the funds necessary to be it keep — and the entire country — from collapsing? Oh, let me guess: PENNIES FROM HEAVEN! But no, they would rather close MORE schools, MORE police and fire departments,allow our roads and sewers,etc., continue to collapse, and let Social Security become totally depleted rather than TAX THE RICH. TO them it’s too “sacriligious”, right? Welcome to ‘America of the Apes’!

The only reason I’m sharing with you my feelings @ the present is to relieve my stress level, not yours! I’m so “sick & tired” of this Repub line I could scream & sack them all. Since when does ANYONE in a responsible position destroy the Nation on their road to “destroying the President” as they have repeatedly promised to do!!! This political situation now is SICK; the Dems don’t know how to handle such intolerance & neither does the responsible citizenry! SICK!

Fact – the income gap is the greatest it’s ever been since the ’20s and it shows NO sign of getting better. Fact – the Bush tax cuts directly contributed to this. Fact – the Bush tax cuts play a large role in the deficit, so if budget hawks truly cared about the deficit then they would want to rescind those tax breaks.

Boehner is being a bone head boar. Having everyone of the spending cuts that he wants about 4 trillion of them. Don’t touch SS and MC and then bring back the taxes that Bush took away to cause the deficit. That should give 7 trillion dollars to pay off the deficit. No need to raise the debt ceiling.

Used to be a republican but seems all that has been demonstrated is to vote the opposite of whatever is requested. Meanwhile we – MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR sit here with no changes, and making our lives quite challenging, almost miserable. Changes will hurt but better than doing nothing such as Health Insurance and all the millions that can’t afford it; It has got to change and can’t continue with the skyrocketing costs. Oil dependency: got to make some changes; NO LONGER A REPUBLICAN!

If Republicans always side with the wealthy top 5%, how come they are even voted into office, and in such large numbers as we saw in the last mid-term elections.
I find the American public really weird: they vote for Obama to bring in “change” and at the same time vote for a whole bunch of republicans who won’t let him change a darned thing!

When are you people going to stop marching in lock step to all the Republican Propaganda that we can’t raise taxes? Taxes are the revenue that the country runs on and it also creates jobs. A tax increase is not going to affect one person in the middle class in real time/real money. The Republican Party has always operated under the strategy to first tell you a total lie and second make you afraid of it! If you don’t wise up and start thinking for yourselves they are going to have this country by the short & curlys!!

The Republicans might as well be sitting in the White House because, as far as I’m concerned, they’re running the country!
