"Every Dem president"cuts military spending? Lets see: FDR increased it, Truman had korea and increased it, JFK spoke of the phony "missile gap' and increased it, LBJ bankrupted our country with Vietnam, Carter increased the military from 4.7% of GDP to 5.2%, Clinton and Bush sr both cut def. spending, while Obama has increased military spending in his first two years. Give me a break!
Is anyone following Wisconsin?

I know this is not "rocket science" but if you are running a business you must make a "business plan" Not knowing what the federal budget will be,not knowing what the tax rates will be, not knowing if you will be granted an exemption from the high cost od OBAMA care --did cause uncertainty.
Supply side economics drove the car into the ditch
Obama claimed it was the Bush tax cuts -please do not re-write recent history. As soon as OBama saw the light and wants to be re-elected --the Bush tax cuts were extended and bam --185,000 private sector jobs. Sorry if you cannot understand simple cause and effect.
What Business needs is for the government to get out of the way and stop being the cause of financial disasters by pushing liberal welfare programs like forcing the banks to make risky loans --than blaming the banks -so that libs like you can justify their dopey actions.
Cut,cut cut ---Government has grown too big --we cannot afford gov jobs --they suck wealth out ---it is the PRIVATE sector that produces the wealth to pay for government jobs !!

bbsam,
Please --still has NOTHING to do with the repeal of don't ask don't tell. All of the examples you mention are inaction.
Name for me a gay person who has been discharged or not accepted into the military since dec 22nd of last year.
Let me give you the number: ZERO !!
Wait for it. It will surface. Whether by trumped up dismissal or refusal of advancement, it will show up. History proves it. You don't really think that since Dec. 22, 2010 is enough of a time segment to say, Llaws changed. Everythings fine now." Do you?

bbsam,
You can wait for it --there are much bigger real fish to fry right now instead of waiting for some a-hole to violate the law.
This horse has been beaten enough ---some dope breaking the law --is alot different that a President out right saying he will ignore the law.
If you cannot see the difference --so be it.

Its a tough job but someone has to do it
He told his AG not to defend an unconstitutional law that a reactionary congress stupidly passed. He finally did the right thing.
Unlike the previous baffoon, this president can focus on more than one thing at a time.

Workers would like to know the future too. Like when the ax is going to fall on them. But business has to have a "plan" . Well, guess what, sh#t happens. Taxes go up, gas prices go up, tolls go up, deal with it. We all have to deal with those variables, so should big business.
The bush tax cuts are supplyside economics!! He compromised on the tax breaks for the wealthy because otherwise taxes on the rest of us would have gone up!!
Now you reactionaries want to take credit for jobs being created in feb which was good news . But right after passing the tax cut in Dec, there were only 36K jobs created. LOL!! SO much for those magical tax cuts. By the way this economy needs 300,000 per month over the next couple of years to even get us back to 6 %!!
So you want government to "get out of the way" ?? Hmmm sounds like what the Wall St schmucks have been asking for since the reagan days. "Government is the problem" blah blah blah. Problem was when government got out of the way, the corporations ran wild and hence the Great Recession.
You want to cut. Start with over $300 Billion every year in tax subsidies for corporations and the individual rich folks. Then cut about half of the military budget. End the tax cuts on the top 2 % . Control prices of pharmaceuticals and private health care insurance. Do that first andthen we will talk about the rest.

did you not read what I posted? The government does not create wealth, it can only move it from one sector to another. This will allow more money into the private sector where the real wealth creation takes place.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A bill that would phase out tenure for new teachers and restrict collective bargaining on their salaries and benefits is on its way to the Idaho governor.
The GOP-backed measure cleared its final hurdle Tuesday in the state Legislature, where it passed the Idaho House on a 48-22 vote. Nine Republicans crossed party lines to oppose the bill.
The state’s teachers union, the Idaho Education Association, says it would gut teacher rights. It plans to protest Wednesday.
Supporters say the plan will give more power to Idaho’s locally elected school boards in labor relations issues. Opponents say it’s a slap in the face to teachers and a mean-spirited move to dismantle their union.

804,
Typical liberal talking points. The very least you could have done was thank BUSH for you tax cut.
Did you thank Obama for yours?

Again you are behind the curve--you like I received our tax cuts from President Bush. My Bush tax cut was extended by Obama
I believe Obama had a middle class tax cut also. In payroll deductions. In fact I'm almost positive of it. You may end up looking silly on this one.
