let’s see: we borrow trillions from china, then literally give away billions and billions in outright “aid” packages to other countries. and these boneheads have hold of the purse strings. i’ll bet their paychecks don’t bounce next week….
When our credit rating is downgraded (probably this coming week) the interest we have to pay our creditors will at least double and the price of oil will jump. We really need to lower taxes on the job makers. More jobs in India and China will help our revenue.
China holds about 10% of our debt. With their “massive build up” in defense, China spends about 17% of what the U.S. does on that “defense”- most of that money coming from the U.S. in trade, not just secured debt. Obama started off on many elements with compromise with Republican objectives in an effort to move forward on many fronts. All those compromises have been shoved behind the scenes by Republicans in Congress, and the media, rendering a false impression that a very “conservative” Democrat, just like Clinton, is some kind of raging “socialist”. The same Republicans refuse to identify the Kochs,Norquists, and other driving forces behind Boehner and Cantor’s cast in cement stance for what it is: Fascism.
So at what point did the word ‘compromise’ become a good thing. The actual meaning of compromise is ‘failure’..“Hull integrity has been compromised.”.“He compromised his principles and accepted the money.”.If you truly believe a certain path is what’s best for the country, then, by definition, compromising your principles is bad for the country…
Everyone knows the reasons for the results of the election of 2010, Putzhill, just as we know the reasons for the results of the elections of 2008, ‘06, ’04, ’02, & ’00—just to name the last half-dozen.We need higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans, and most Americans agree. Why don’t you?
