Guest theSun Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 i can't decide if obama is in cahoots with the repubs or if the dems are simply not as good at combative politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 So an increase on the debt ceiling, reduction in spending (probably no cuts to military spending though) but no goddamned taxes? Hey America - you need to increase your revenue. You're not gonna put a dent in that deficit without revenue! And full on lol at tea party representatives saying they're not going to sign the bill.

Guest Al Hounos Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 didn't you all hear? increasing revenue is off the table. you're going to have to be more creative than that. anyway, after this mess, i will not be voting for obama in the primaries. if he is the candidate, i will waste my vote on a third party. (likely Green) i hated the idiots that did this in 2000 and got Bush elected, but enough is enough. either a real progressive choice or death. in fact, maybe i'll just vote republican. go ahead and expedite the fall of rome.

lumpenprol Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm already off but then I did the dumbest thing and started an outsourcing studio. I should have started a luxury goods importing company like some folks I know. Right country, wrong sector. Pretty soon I'll have to switch around and outsource from China to US...

azatoth Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Yeah, Obama should not get any votes from the independents. Vote 3rd party, it won't do shit, but if they get more votes than usual maybe the main parties will wake up (lol, yeah right, they have the corporate dicks so far up their asses they are practically their spines). The accelerationist stance might the way to go to wake up the general populace that they are getting robbed blind. I have a feeling that the global economy will need to take another devastating dive before people will finally realize the endemic faults of capitalism.

chenGOD Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 endemic faults in "free" market capitalism - sure. Capitalism itself as a theory is pretty good. the trick is finding that balance of capitalist economic policy combined with socialist ummm social policy, and making sure regulation is good. Canada used to be this way, but Harper's government is another one with the corporate dicks for spines (love that quote btw). Lumpy - give me another year or so, we'll export luxury goods to Korea from China. Also - patternoverlap - you should print that up in the largest font you can and go plaster florida's capitol building with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobalina Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 the US is a sinking ship and i want off. Right here baby. This country is being run by criminals. Make no mistake, this is class warfare, and the republican party has long since been bought by the rich to do their bidding. Meanwhile the poor and middle classes are too sedated on their reality tv and playstations to realize how royally we are getting fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuts alone don't do the job. - hell the debt ceiling increase is about equal to the cuts proposed. I find it hard to believe there isn't some deal which could explain the lack of tax-raises for the rich. I don't buy the "democrats/obama believe in trickle-down economy" for a second. There must have been something at stake which didn't justify the necessary tax-raise. And that something wasn't the default (because the debt-ceiling could have been raised regardless of the senate/congress, if my understanding is correct).
