* Obama says the fight on the payroll tax cut isn’t over, as he hasn’t quite gotten the political mileage he was hoping out of it. Apparently, he was expecting the Republicans insist on him actually budgeting for it, but Obama doesn’t like budgets and numbers which are all racist. But the Republicans are apparently going to totally cave. Maybe after seeing the $1.33 trillion deficit in Obama’s budget, they were all like, “This is all pointless. Who cares now. Let’s just spend and spend and spend, and I’m going to get some scotch and drink and drink and drink.”
Actually, the quickest way to a small government now may be to just spend so much the government eventually collapses on itself and the whole country is thrown into chaos. And then we rebuild from the ashes.
Smart power!
* One of the reasons Obama cited as why people need the payroll tax cut is that gas prices are so high. That leads to his best argument of all: “People really need this tax cut because their president — me — is an incompetent idiot, so everyone is basically on their own.”
* Obama is going to end dozens of business tax breaks. Is this going to hurt the economy by putting more strain on businesses? No, as Timothy Geithner says, “We think they can handle it. We think they can afford it.” Oh, so the guy who can’t figure out how to use TurboTax is pretty sure about other companies’ financial situations. Why do such useless, inept people have such influence on our economy? Where did this system break down? I blame childhood obesity — primarily because fat kids are fun to yell at.
Fat kids! ::shakes fist::
* A school ordered a preschooler to buy the cafeteria lunch because they didn’t think the mother’s lunch was healthy enough. Now, you’d think that you’d be able to decided what your kid could eat, but that’s what they do in a free country which you have read about in science fiction. But in a nanny state, useless idiots make all your decisions for you. If you want to feed your own kid, then I guess you can just join a militia and live in a compound, you right-wing nut.
* New movie coming out – Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Liberals don’t like first Republican president Lincoln because he took people away from guaranteed jobs, food, and shelter and gave them horrible horrible freedom instead. Instead of a war, couldn’t Lincoln just compromised and gave everybody free contraceptives?
You know Hollywood – there will be sequels:
George Washington: Werewolf Killer
Calvin Coolidge: Zombie Slayer
Ronald Reagan: Commie Destroyer
wait…that last one was real…
When businesses lose their tax breaks couldn’t they just raise the cost of their products thereby passing the higher cost of doing business on to the consumers who buy their products? Or in some cases even move their operations to China or India in order to save on expenses? Naw…they’d never figure that out.
If nothing else, hopefully Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will demonstrate the true evil and terrifying nature of vampires instead of portraying them as gay sparkly emo losers with horrible taste in
womenwhiny teenage girls.I mean, if kids these days only exposure to vampires is from Twilight, what are they going to do if they ever encounter a vampire in real life? They’d probably try to befriend it or something and get eaten for their troubles instead of immediately attacking and trying to send it straight back to hell where it belongs.
“But the Republicans are apparently going to totally cave.”
Was there really ever any doubt. John Boehner is a useless tool.
The occupant must be glad it is Lincoln, Vampire hunter instaed of saquatch hunter.
Why do the guys from the History Channel need to go all over looking for Big Foot. She is right there is Washington D.C.
So if a blind skwerl gets a nut, how come peelousy is still in congress?
They had to bring the occupants budget in on carts, Couldn’t congress waste money on desks that don’t need propping up with a book?
The only thing good about occupant’s budget is it makes a good fly squisher. which may explain boehners fear.
When id FrnakJ going to write a book?!
“Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” I can buy, but “Barack Obama: Tax Cutter”? That would get you laughed out of any alternate history forum.
How to balance the budget in 2 years:
Year 1 – One time deal – give every dollar cut from the previous years actual federal spending back to the states, proportioned according to number of electoral votes.
Year 2 – Just continue that deal but based off of year 1’s actual spending, excluding the payout.
Balance this years budget and the states get around $1.3 trillion dollars. Divided by 538 electoral votes that’s more than $2 billion per electoral vote. Hey California, how would you like $110 billion dollars? Would that help with your budgeting problems? Pitting the states against the federal government is the perfect solution.
When all of the liberals scream that we want to destroy education by eliminating the Federal Department of Education we can reply; “I think your home state of Florida can do more for education with $58 billion dollars than a bunch of cocktail party bureaucrats sitting in Washington D.C.” And they’ll go all blank faced while images of dollar bills circle their heads.
My other idea for balancing the budget is to have hippies pay a $1 dollar tax every time somebody punches them in the face, but I’m against tax increases, even on hippies.
“One of the reasons Obama cited as why people need the payroll tax cut is that gas prices are so high….”
Given that Obamanian policies are the reason for high petroleum prices, Obama’s statement is proof positive that Barack:
A) Is absolutely devoid of math
B) Is intentionally destroying the country
C) Has a near-sociopathic disregard for the plight of others
D) Is cranky because he just wants to eat his waffles
E) All of the above and more
Wait…he wants to tax…’thingy’?
God forbid he should, like, encourage gasoline production to ease gas prices. Big jerk.
And yet people seem to like him and his wife, no matter how many kids’ lunches she ruins, how many school cafeteria budgets she slays. If they don’t get voted out we have to see if we can somehow detach D.C. and send it down the river and out to sea, like Bugs Bunny sawing off Florida. Our only hope.
Obama voted for every spending increase that was put before him as a senator – he voted for every single spending increase he “inherited”. You can’t keep claiming that you “inherited” a bad situation when you not only demanded, but signed off on the actions that MADE the mess. How long does Obama get to keep blaming Bush?
Here’s a clue to the template by which we could follow your plan to allow the economy to collapse.
I shall always recognize you
by the dreadful sword you hold
as the Earth with searching vision
you survey with spirit bold
From the Greeks of old whose dying
brought to life and spirit free
now with ancient valour rising
let us hail you, oh Liberty!
FrankJ:
If Obama is “incompetent idiot” it should be easy for a real conservative like Santorum to beat him in November? Right?
So why are you not supporting Ricky?
Best Regards,
Monkey Faced Liberal
P.S. Yes we can!
“Yes we can!”
“But you didn’t!”
So maybe a sequel of Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter would be Abe Lincoln the Vampire Hunter meets the vampires from Twilight and thinks they’re really not worth his energy because any vampires who sparkle are sissies.
Abe Lincoln would not wate his time on sissies. Or hippies.
That would be “waste his time”
I’m confused. Why are Republicans against a tax cut? I thought Republicans were the tax cut party.
Perhaps the Repubs are letting King Baraky spend all he can, to insure the Debt Ceiling debate comes up before the election.
