Come on, he does not want to take our guns away.. just those that shoot more then 10 bullets at a time … and those evil pistol grips that make it so dangerous. And he does not have a spending problem. He freely gives the money to all the bottom feeders, they spend the money on welfare and failed magic green jobs.

A lazy strip. Come on Ramirez. I think you’re always wrong, but at least you usually put more effort into it.

But it can not be a spending problem. Obama has made the evil top 1% I mean 2% pay by not letting them keep the money they earned. That money was to be the fair share that he can spend to save us all.
Now if he can only get permission to spend even more on the dept he has promised to take on.

Mike’s depiction of Obama has become so stylized all that comes through is the anger. Mike’s anger. Cranking in another subject once in a while might help. How’s about something we can all dislike, Mike? Cancer, say, or maybe mass murder, one ball peen hammer at a time…

Michael – Austerity will not fix our economy, you have to spend money to get everyone back to work. You do want people to get back to work? right?

@ninety_nine_percent
It depends on who you are. The Rethuglicans don’t want more people back at work for at least four years.

Petty response. Just like Ramirez’s work. Connelly is right, all that comes through in Ramrez’s grotesque caricature is his visceral hatred. It’s unhinged.

Every single president since Roosevelt – Republicans included – have used deficit spending to get us out of recessions. It’s an axiom that deficit spending and government jobs help end recessions. Until now, when the GOP decided to pretend that’s not the case. They’ll continue to block the kind of massive stimulus that every single president of the last 70 years has used, even if it means our economy will be in the toilet for the next couple decades, just for the sake of their ideology. Today’s Republican Party isn’t conservative, it’s anarchist.

@
he re DUMB licans refuse to utilize the surplus tax revenue to pay down the debt incurred in the previous recession. "
??????
what?
the R have brought how many budgets to the table since 2006? How many budgets have the D brought to the table? How many have they blocked and shot down? And just where is this “surplus tax revenue” that Obama can not tap into? the evil rich who are not paying the “fair share” by keeping the money they made and earned? Please enlighten me. Your loony logic is just well don’t get it.
And thank you for pointing out that auto correct is not working just write when I post these quick post it notes on the net.

. In fact well over half of the current debt is a direct result of republican policies, many put forth under bush.
Foul on the field. But But bush is no longer a reason any more. Sorry. But the facts are 2006 the D got control of the purse strings. Obama was there but well ok he voted “present” then in 2008- 2010 the D had control of all three branches. Talk about D policies taking down the country the tax that is not a penalty or is it a penalty that is not a tax Obamacare was passed in the dead of the night. that policy alone is putting a big drag on our economy as companies start planing for 2014. Of course they have been paying for parts of it since 2012. But the big stuff kicks in and let us just watch those unemployment figures grow. You know those that Obama stimulus was to fix? and How about Obama telling us he could could cut the debt in half like some magician with a saw and a pretty girl.

Well, just the facts here. from the founding until 1977 (best list I can find) the US accumulated 706 billion dollars in public held debt.
From 1977 to 1999 the debt grew 5 trillion dollars – a period of time where we had 2 republican and 2 democratic presidents. But we should really be looking at congress starting with the 95th to the 105th specifically the House since all spending bills are by law to be crated in the House (LOL). We find 11 of them 8 of which were democrat majority and the last three being republican majority – you know when Clinton had a so called projected “surplus” that you guys love so much.
So Bush added another 5 trillion (hard to imagine such stupidity) during his 8 years. Yep Operating with 3 republican and 2 democrat houses. The last two being democrat and the time when most of the debt was added.
So the last bit player Obama has already has 16 trillion dollars (an additional 6 trillion over his first term) in debt. According to you and your fellows, NONE of which is his fault. His House?
Well, one each.
So the comparison you made? Not really true.
4 presidents added 5 trillion over 22 years or about 228 billion a year. 1 president added another 5 trillion (whew bad bad bad) over 8 years or about 625 billion a year. Now The current dude added another 5 trillion or so (giving him a break here) over 4 years or about 1.25 trillion a year.
Bush;s record? BAD. Obama’s record? WORSE.
So as you say, I guess deficits and massive wasteful spending under “democrat” rule is OK.
