QuoteBoehner: 'Read my lips,' GOP will cut spending
http://money.cnn.com/2011/02/17/news/economy/budget_cuts_2011/index.htm
Noble sentiment, but . . . Sir, is that REALLY the phrase you wanted to use?
Just a little help...
I'm a little confused by all this rhetoric by the Republicans saying they want to cut spending. I read earlier today, where the Republicans want to make big cuts in social Security , possiby closing some SS offices and 'laying-off SS employees so they can have the 'money' for their 'projects'. Why, doe both parties always want to 'hit' social Security? I know too many elderly folks who rely on Social Security, just to survive.

QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteHate to tell you this Turtle but Ronald Reagan was very dependent on teleprompters for most of his speeches. Didn't seem to be a big deal then, why now, what's the big sweat about it?
Because there is a BIG difference between being a useful tool and being a necessity that has been proven to be just that, a NECESSITY.
Reagan, also wrote many of his own speaches. Just Saying.
Regan, though why you brought him up in this discussion of Boehner, used the teleprompter occasionally, and rarely if ever in an outdoor setting, could speak for himself instead of chanting and regurgitating what his speech writers told him to say, as Obama does.
My comment was that, at least Boehner isn't afraid of making a mistake, because even if he does, and it is a whopper of a mistake, it is because he mispoke his own thoughts, noit those of the puppet masters that control your idol.
Actually, no - if you pull up the footage from his outdoor speeches, he doesn't. Obama won't speak in public unless he has one, or this happens . . .
Or this
Or this
etc.
(Yes the last one is just humor)
Now HERE'S a guy who really needs a teleprompter.

QuoteIn addition to parading your poor math skills, why do you have the need to misrepresent others' positions?
Your statement above is unbelievably silly.
How long would it take?
Think about it.
I have poor math skills
So, apparently, does Boehner. He voted to continue funding the GE/Rolls engine that the Pentagon says is a complete waste of money. Funny how hypocrisy triumphs when the contractor is in your home state.
So does this mean you really have no idea if taxing the rich at 100% would ever result in the debt being paid off. It's cool if you were just talking out of your butt. We all do that sometimes.

I thought maybe, it was because Social Security has always had an 'abundance' and all the politicians 'hit' it to fund all their 'Porky Pig' projects.
To me, So many elderly, who worked all their lives for it, rely on SS and the assholes who they and we vote for want to take it away from them. Just so the politicians can get their pet projects which in turn, get them votes and keep the no-good SOB's in office!

The greedy bottom feeders always seem to go after anything that the least fortunate members of our society might get... and it does not matter if they earned that as part of the society by working for that stipend from SS or not.
I hope to hell that the FRINGE right can keep their greedy mitts off SS and not "privateer" it... Just think where we would be if they had "privateered it along with the rest of the Wall Street Fiasco. My IRA's and 401K's are worth about half of what they once were.. and I have some nice useless commmon stock from several companies.. that decided to just "re-privateer" all the money not in PREFERRED stock. So far at least.. the pond scum have been prevented from feeding on my little stipend that I will be getting in a few years from SS

It seems you can't even get the quote correct. It was "the ultra rich, AND EVERYONE ELSE, were taxed at 100%", emphasis not mine.
Now try thinking about it.

Why don't you tell us how Boehner is serious about cutting spending when he comes out in favor of pork in his own state?

How much difference is there between blue or red pork?
Not that I disagree that some of the republican ideas are wasteful..but honestly Mr. Kettle.....

Obama waivered GE from the EPA greenhouse gas regs. Funny how hypocrisy triumphs when the CEO is your jobs czar.

well, in your case, you would have been better off with any likely form of privatized SS. Your 401k would have still been wrecked, but your SS payout would be better.

BULL... Privatizing it would be subjecting it to the same GREEDY wall street bastages who knowingly ripped off all of us on Main Street in the last 10 years.
I am just not a fan of turning my money over to GAMBLERS.. CROOKED GAMBLERS who get theri house cut right off the top.
How about just keeping EVERYONES grubby mitts off SS.. Politicians who see it as a nice little slush fund to fund the next bridge to nowhere.. and "FINANCIAL" money managers who see it as the NEXT BIG THING TO RIP OFF to fund the lifestyle they have become used to after nearly destroying the country in the last 10 years.
How about FIXING it by putting all the money back as a priority... that has been (bet on the come) stolen so far.
