Mac,
You can bury your head in the sand all you want, but those ARE the facts as reported by every major and minor news outlet and on the governments own web sites.
Falcond ... It appears you wouldn't know a FACT if it raised up and bit you on the posterior. Let's clarify your lit'l rant at me with the "facts" you proclaim.
Regarding the National Debt, it had been decreasing
every year since WW2 up until your Prez Reagan took office and implimented his
Supply Side economics, which some Republicans. at the time, called
Voodoo economics. By the time Reagan left office, the Nat'l Debt had
TRIPLED from just under $900 billion to over $3 trillion. But the Republicans decided that
"trickle down" economics (cutting taxes at the top to create jobs at the bottom) was their
new podium going forward into the future. Both Bushes (coincidently Republicans) substantially raised the N.D. (GW particularly)... and when interest is applied, the Nat'l Debt was almost
$11 trillion thanks to your G W Bush & his VP (deficit spending doesn't matter) Cheney. So don't quote the "convenient Republican facts" at me,
Falcond. Unemployment was practically double digit when Prez Obama took office, and jobs were being lost at over 800,000 a MONTH. GW screwed up an economy in just 2 years after taking office. It was your Republican congress that played "obstructionists" to anything Prez Obama wanted to do, determined to stop any jobs initiative Prez Obama had in order to make him a ONE TERM PRESIDENT. You bring up the pipeline project ... the President
didn't decline that project, he simply asked that environmental precautions be taken
FIRST. Environment, that's something Republicans don't give a ******* about ... they'll crap in their nest and move to another nest ... its their style of governing. You bring up Benghazi AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN, implying that there was a
Washington coverup (5 lives lost), yet you don't bring up the Bush coverup of WMDs and the Iraqi war that costs
5,000+ American lives because Cheney & Rumsfeld
lied about WMDs to start a war with Iraq. Both of those idiots should be in federal prisons NOW. You talk about voter fraud, and that's so laughable that its pathetic ... Republicans implimented practically every voter fraud tactic possible (and got caught) in Florida and several other key states, plus tried to suppress minority voting in all the key states, which your Republicans lost
because they pissed off the minority voters. And FINALLY, you bring up the Prez Obama desiring to RAISE TAXES on everyone in 2013 because of Bush tax cuts expiring ... what a missleading LIE that is. It was your own Republican candidates that made a deal with Grover Norquist to NOT RAISE TAXES on any circumstance. It was your Republican candidates that ALL raised their hands during the Rep debates saying none would accept raising taxes even if the ratio of revenue spending cuts to raising taxes was
10:1 because of the pledge they gave to Grover Norquist. Now Republicans are implying eliminating the mortgage deduction (which will impact the middleclass AGAIN) as their offer to possibly raise revenue. That will NEVER happen. If the fiscal cliff occurs in January, it will be because of the obstructionist congressional House that is the least popular in
HISTORY ... and if you think Republicans lost THIS YEAR, wait until 2014, should they decline to allow the tax cuts for the wealthy expire. Supply Side economics does not work ... never has, never will Congress can not cut entitlements to give these tax CUTS ... thus it creates more deficit spending and increases the Nat'l Debt ... duhhhhhhhhh!
So, quit blowing stale Republican smoke in the faces of the liberals of this forum and try smelling the crap your shoveling out to everyone. Republicans are currently acting like little babies ... crying, and pitching fits like *******, and doing their usual "
threatening" if they don't get their way. Well, they will NOT get their way. This country can not take another 4-8 years of failed Trickle Down economics like Bush implimented. Prez Obama was dead RIGHT in resisting these fools who are OWNED and PAID FOR by corporations & millionaires. Geesh!
