Shady Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 No he knows they are an Equal branch he just also knows the SENATE is also and Equal Branch. Here is some math for you because you are bad at it. President 1/3rd, Senate 1/3rd, House 1/3rd. Meaning the Dems control 66% of the legislative authority to the Republicans 33% so they better start compromising because the Dems have MORE EQUAL BRANCHES! Never mind Shady just wants to pretend the Senate doesn't exist. BTW the whip count is looking at the Republicans needed AT LEAST 100 house democrats to pass this bill so they might want to start listening to them to. You mean the same Democrat senate that hasn't authored a budget in 805 days? When will they start doing their job? But Republicans aren't gonna need Dem votes in the house. Their going to issue a ceiling increase with spending cuts and then send it to the senate and the president. If they don't wanna go a long with it, then it's on them. Quote

Shady Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Oh great...you want the Americans to accrue more certain debt. Exactly. As long as there's no interruption in his lifestyle. He's all for other people accumulating and having to deal with unsustainable levels of debt. That's their problem. Quote
Bonam Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Exactly. As long as there's no interruption in his lifestyle. He's all for other people accumulating and having to deal with unsustainable levels of debt. That's their problem. Nothing wrong with that. That's just self-interest. If other people want to take out debt in order to fuel someone's lifestyle, why wouldn't he/she let them? Quote
pinko Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 SHELL GAMES: A Reuters Investigation Articles in this series are exploring the extent and impact of corporate secrecy in the United States. By Kelly Carr and Brian Grow CHEYENNE/ATLANTA (Reuters) - The secretive business havens of Cyprus and the Cayman Islands face a potent rival: Cheyenne, Wyoming. At a single address in this sleepy city of 60,000 people, more than 2,000 companies are registered. The building, 2710 Thomes Avenue, isn't a shimmering skyscraper filled with A-list corporations. It's a 1,700-square-foot brick house with a manicured lawn, a few blocks from the State Capitol. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/28/us-usa-shell-companies-idUSTRE75R20Z20110628 Quote

If other people want to take out debt in order to fuel someone's lifestyle, why wouldn't he/she let them? Letting them is one thing.....demanding that they do so is quite another. The Americans get ripped for too much debt, then they get ripped for not adding more debt. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

How they going to do that dummy they have already said 60 Reps will NEVER vote for a debt increase, they are going to need Dem votes. Quote

bush_cheney2004 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Governor Mark Dayton just capitulated on his MN state budget and tax increases on "the rich"....Republicans win. President Obama is next to fold. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

That's not true. Republicans can get more than enough votes for their own deal. He'll, they'll probably get some conservative Dem votes as well. Quote

Shady Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Everyone acts in their own self interest. You're not acting in this case. But you want other people to act in your self interest. At a cost to theirs. It's selfish and immoral. And frankly pretty disgusting. Quote
Shady Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Yes. I think he is a weasel. Damn him for standing up for taxpayers and against unsustainable debt. Quote
Shady Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 And Obama opposes a short-term deal so that the issue doesn't come up again until after the election cycle. Hopefully by then he'll be a private citizen. Quote

bush_cheney2004 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 You're stating that the actions of Obama are in Pinko's self-interest, and are selfish. They are if he is afraid of the ensuing "chaos" should Americans not raise their debt ceiling, and wants this action taken. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Shady Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 It's a four-word question. You're stating that the actions of Obama are in Pinko's self-interest, and are selfish. Yes. He wants so-called "certainty" and "stability." So if that means other people taking on more and more unsustainable debt for him, so be it. Quote
Shady Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 They are if he is afraid of the ensuing "chaos" should Americans not raise their debt ceiling, and wants this action taken. Forgive him. He's a little slow on the uptake today. Quote
