So pay for troops should go from $1200 a month to $600 a month?
No, troop pay should increase, there are other areas that can be cut!

So, the whole Obama presidency is based on the fact that Bush was so bad, the only thing we (the administration) can is do is the EXACT SAME THING?
I'm waiting to see it with my wife. But we're probably gonna see it tomorrow night.

Now, you know I don't think that way, the quote was just to show Bravo how his heroes started this landslide.
Wait a minute...you're in FAVOR of the govt. creating jobs? At taxpayer expense? Can we get you on record?Right on.....those damn upper middle class wage paying jobs, with health benefits and pensions, at Boeing and General Electric, etc. aren't important at all.....let 'em eat cake.
Of course voting for social programs is in my best interest because it's in everyone's best interest. Just like government medical. Who knows what accident/illness may befall them? Should everyone be constantly scratching for money and become miserly because they never know how much money they'll require for medical care? It's absurd. Consider all the money that is tied up in savings "just in case". Just in case one becomes ill their life will depend on the money they have so one ever has sufficient money. Well, unless they are multi-millionaires. Can we blame the average person for trying all sort of tactics to get money when their life may depend on it? Can we expect them to help anyone when their life may depend on the money they have?
As politicians correctly stated the election was about differing philosophies. It wasn't about how to get to a specific place. It was about determining what place they wanted to go. That's why compromise is so difficult. It's not about different ways to accomplish the same thing. It's about accomplishing different things. The destinations are not the same so it's unlikey the path will be the same. And the people chose the destination they wanted, Obama's destination. They want a society where everyone comes along.
People talk about Obama being a divider instead of a uniter. I think we can put that nonsense to bed once and for all after hearing Romney talk about the 47%.
The old ways are coming to an end. It's time to send O'Reilly and the Fox Friends some flowers and a sympathy card to show our condolences on the passing of the "White Man's World", as O'Reilly so eloquently put it. The truth is it's more like the passing of the Neanderthal World.
"President Reagan did it (raised the debt ceiling) 18 times. George W. Bush did it seven times."

Well, if you think it was cherry picked, prove it.
It doesn't have to be Boeing and GE. There is also attrition.
Here ya go Bravo, the full quote!
You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the mid-term elections, this is our due.
to Paul O'Neill, then Treasury Secretary (The Price of Loyalty)
"President Reagan did it (raised the debt ceiling) 18 times. George W. Bush did it seven times."

Obama...."The fact that we are here today to debate
raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.
It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills.
It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.
Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally.
Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead,
Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.
America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.
Americans deserve better."
Right on.....those damn upper middle class wage paying jobs, with health benefits and pensions, at Boeing and General Electric, etc. aren't important at all.....let 'em eat cake.
And that darn ObamaCare. I bet it interfers with funeral directors.![]()
Don't you know the funeral directors are dancing a jig, thinking about all the new 'clients' they'll be getting under Deathcare.They'll probably get rich....or is it richer....
