Feeling the heaven sent messiah letting you down? Still blaming something that has no bearing other then the feeling that your party left you wanting more but you CAN'T MAN UP AND BLAME THEM!

They played this fear game last year too. With Bernake's printing presses at Barry's fingertips they will "save the day" at the very last minute.
 Quoting: Goldi 8755634


All Obama has to do is to cut funding to some bullahit programs and there will be a budget deal. Instead he wants to scare people and risk people going hungry to get his way.

Stop worrying about the fiscal cliff. John Boehner and his sissy boys will surrender. They will put together some crap package, praise it, and go home.

The economy will grow worse and those clowns and the criminal in the WH will blame each other. None of it will matter in terms of the next election because the Democrooks have found out that they can rig the elections and the Republicans will lay down and pretend nothing illegal happened.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 990186


yeah, you are right...

same exact way the democrats layed down when bush stole the election.
 Quoting: thetrickybigguy


Unlike the stolen election of 2012, the Gore supporting New York Times did a thorough investigation of the 2000 election and determined that Bush won.

The NYT has done zero investigating how Obama's numbers cold have dropped by 9 million votes yet Romney's also fell 2-3 million.

On Kauai I know someone who has been on unemployment 66 weeks now. Every time it's about to run out he'll take a class, like how to wash a solar panel & it's reinstated. He has no interest in finding a job.

Good for you!

I worked in the same industry for almost 30 years. Now that it's dead it's time to retrain to do something else -- which is what I'm doing.

When I was younger, I worked as many as 3 jobs.

I paid into this system. So FUCK OFF!!!


Ive heard several people state "Ive paid for it" or " I pay taxes and UI". Yes employees pay taxes but not UI. I am a business owner, I pay the UI premiums which are 9.4% of an employee's quarterly wages .Not one penny comes from an employees pocket.
Just another premiums as is workers compensation,commercial activity tax, We also have to match your medicare and s.s. taxes on your wages.

White House officials have assured Democrats that President Barack Obama is committed to extending benefits for another year. Obama has proposed the $30 billion extension as part of ongoing negotiations over cutting federal deficits.

Let the benefits expire. I'm so sick of Washington extending benefits indefinitely on these unemployed people. It gives them absolutely no incentive to find a job. OK, so he wants them to be able to screw around for another year on the government? I'm as empathetic as the next person when a person loses a job. They need a few months of unemployment benefits to tide them over until they can find a job. But the benefits weren't meant to be a permanent fund for them.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7570540


And while thats getting canceled they need to discontinue all the damnable disability benefits.
 Quoting: Mr. Toppit


Fuck you!

I do mean fuck you.

I served this country, became disabled during my time served. Cancel my benefits which gives me a way to live, and to stay out of the ditch?

Fuck you. You have nothing to say until you served this country, and if you have served..a double fuck you for even suggesting this.

You know, in fairness, a lot of people are on welfare because companies have moved their operations to Asian sweatshops.

Unless the investment comes from somewhere to create jobs, there is a need for a welfare system.

Yes, there are people who swing the lead and are quite happy sitting on their arses on benefits, but I maintain that the majority of them will go out and work if the work is there for them.

Perhaps if governments spent less money on blowing up children in dusty villages around the world, they could invest money at home to help businesses stay open and create more jobs for local people.
 Quoting: Smith Jefferys

Jobs went overseas because the cost of doing business in the U.S. rose; that, in turn, happened because the Democrats initiated serious deficit spending and inflation, which drove up the costs of doing business domestically.

At root, the problem of job loss exists because Democrats, starting with FDR, tried to spend their way into prosperity.

Democrats have addicted the country to fiscal crack/heroin.
