Subject: What have we learned in 2065 years?


"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Cicero - 55 BC

So, evidently. not much.[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]

Re: Obamanation here today

What I state is true. Just because you have difficulty comprehending or accepting these facts is not my problem. Bush cut taxes and the government tax revenues increased. Capital gains tax revenue increased when the capital gains tax rates are reduced. To say otherwise is delusional at best.

For the sake of argument, I'll take all this as gospel. So if we can't raise taxes, let's cut all government spending across the board. 15% as for social, defense, everything. What services do we lose, how high does unemployment go, and what are the unintended consequences?

What were the unintended consequences of the last 10 if not the last 30 or 60 or even 100 years where gov't and spending have grown, debt has exploded, taxes have in fact gone up in relation to the % basis of where they initially started e.g. 1916' income tax was 2%, borrowing in shifting taxes to the future where inflation masks their true impact and then using literally unchecked debt as a means of masking the total ineptness of both political parties in running the so-called People's House. Let us dare not even consider the monster that inflation really is and how both sides sit silent if not granting full sanction as it eats away at the fabric of society all the while both sides pretend to be the defender of those very people upon whom this leviathan consumes. What makes matters worse is their squaking dogs come forth to thump their chests as if holding some moral authority when the truth is in fact by holding to the light of moral and true ethics, they are lower than Satan's spawn as at least his spawn are honest in admitting what they really are to begin with.

Expanding the education super state to create a citizen class of automatons while true education and knowledge actually decline, the health state which has in itself actually created the crisis in healthcare along with special status and regulatory advanatage to the monopoly food corporations who put filling food on the market that has little real nutrient value to customer but is great for shareholder return.

Sound familar UPSers?

You ask what are the unintended consequences if we withdraw but it was by this very vehicle that both parties drove which actually got us where we are now. But don't fret to much bbsam that the Rubeacons might get a majority and actually limit gov't! Not a chance as we've all been down and seen this road before and I have no reason to believe the rubeacons will do anything different if they so make the big score come November.

Re: Obamanation here today

Actually, Wk, the last paragraph of your post is exactly the point I was trying to make. Can you imagine any candidate running for office suggesting such a radical across the board cut in spending? If we are really serious about bringing down the deficit without raising taxes it seems the way to do it. Any kind of middle of the road solution is demonized by the other side.

Re: Obamanation here today

By Joseph Curl
President Obama, who pledged to establish the most open and transparent administration in history, on Monday surpasses his predecessor's record for avoiding a full-fledged question-and-answer session with White House reporters in a formal press conference.
President George W. Bush's longest stretch between prime-time, nationally televised press conferences was 214 days, from April 4 to Nov. 4, 2004. Mr. Obama tops that record on Monday, going 215 days - stretching back to July 22, according to records kept by CBS Radio's veteran reporter Mark Knoller.
The president has seemingly shunned formal, prime-time sessions since his last disastrous presser, when he said police in Cambridge, Mass., "acted stupidly" by arresting a Harvard professor who broke into a home that turned out to be his own. The off-the-cuff comment took over the news cycle for a week, overshadowing his push for health care reform, and culminated in a White House "Beer Summit," where the president hosted white police officer James Crowley and the black Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Re: Obamanomics

Dear President Obama,

Thank you for helping my neighbors with their mortgage payments. You know the one's down the street who in the good times refinanced their house several times and bought SUV's, ATV's, RV"s, a pool, a big screen, two Wave Runners and a Harley. But I was wondering, since I am paying my mortgage and theirs, could you arrange for me to borrow the Harley now and then?


P.S. They also need help with their credit cards, when do you want me to start making those payments? P.P.S. I almost forgot - they didn't file their income tax return this year. Should I go ahead and file for them or will you be appointing them to cabinet posts?

Re: Obamanomics

Dear Mr. President,
Thank you for restoring our world view. Because as we all know it is important to get along with other countries.
You have a very tough job and took it on in a tough economy and climate. I understand that unemployment is at an all time high and you are working on it. However I can't help but say that the boom in the economy in the early 2000's was brought on by fake money, which, in turn begets fake, non producing jobs. I would hope that everyone reading this would take the time to buy goods that are made right here in the good old USA and help people who still have jobs keep them.
PS you have my vote in 2012

Obama's desire for dialogue has some questioning his effectiveness


European leaders wonder whether he has what it takes to act decisively


By Harry Sterling, Freelance

"Nice guys finish last."
Baseball manager Leo Durocher obviously wasn't referring to U.S. President Barack Obama when he made his now famous remark more than six decades ago.

However, there's a growing sentiment among some countries, including in the European Union, that despite his charismatic personality Obama may not be capable of providing the firm, creative leadership they expected when he took office.

While many Americans have expressed disappointment or disapproval with Obama's domestic policies, those outside the U.S. have been more concerned by his perceived failure to deal with important international issues.

Re: Obamanomics

It's everything that is missing in our newspapers, a real understanding.

If you are willing to consider another POV beyond the State storyline we get fed daily by our own media, the international press is often a breathe of real fresh air IMO. One main reason IMO that our media is losing readers/viewers is they just carry the gov't line for the most part and then down the road we learn that either we weren't told the truth or info was kept from us. Go look at some of the international press back in time and what they were reporting and then compare what we know now. Same is true to some degree of the so-called alternative press who daily are displacing the mainstreet media as the primary information source people seek out.

Look at who to some extent blew open the misdeeds of the global warming experts. It was the foreign press, not the so-called American "FREE" press who held the official state line until the foreign and alternative press forced the issue. Who questioned and held to "no WMD in Iraq" while our press acted as a state official information conduit that Iraq was a WMD writ large storehouse of all kinds of nasty stuff? Even Fox News itself now admits no WMD found in Iraq.

The foreign press is by no means perfect by any stretch but don't ignore it either. That'd be my advice.
