What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[RobDownSouth]

1.2 trillion has already been whacked out of the military and mandated across the board cuts too. Obama's Senate refuses to take up appropriation bills, preferring instead a "clean CR" to keep spending levels at the present level, no time for conversations he says. The adminhistartive state stays intact, beyond budget debates.

1.2 trillion was the total amount of the sequestration, not just the military, you stupid son of a bitch. Military was less than half of that.

I see that out in-house economists are already knee-deep in solving this fiscal issue.

I assume you're talking about the sequester.

The $1.2 trillion is total cuts, not just defense spending from 2013-2021. Those cuts were triggered because of the GOP refusal to compromise on anything. Those cuts are roughly evenly split between defense discretionary and discretionary domestic spending. Roughly 600 billion over the course of 9 years, or 66.6 billion per year.

That's a good start, but that still leaves over $600 billion in defense discretionary spending, which amounts to around 47% of total worldwide defense spending. It's simply not sustainable. But the GOP wants to cut the EPA budget by 30%. Fine. Do the same with your sacred cow.

It's sustainable. We don't want to sustain it but we could if we wanted. Our taxes are at historic lows and while our deficit is still large it's nothing we couldn't figure out with a combination of better spending and tax increases.

Actually about half of that 1.2 trillion was scheduled to come out the first year, in addition to the 500 billion in cuts already in put place by Bush.

Sluts Must Be Punished!!

House Republicans sneak an amendment to bill to raise debt ceiling late Saturday night that will remove birth control coverage for women from Obamacare.

Becoz "slut shaming" is much moar important than "paying your bills".

Obamacare Website Quietly Deletes Reference To “Free Health Care”…


Before:

After:

Nothing Obama’s base loves more than “free” stuff from the government.

Via Weekly Standard:


Even as President Obama and his administration are making a last minute push to encourage enrollment in Obamacare, a quiet change was made on the Healthcare.gov website regarding those who will still not be able to afford coverage after the program kicks in. From at least June 26, 2013 to as recently as September 15, under the topic, “Where can I get free or low-cost care in my community?”

Why would any citizen be debating Obamacare today? Why did Roberts write a persuasive dissent only to scribble sophistry that Obamacare could be a tax when the W House assured him the next day it wasn't?

There wasn't a single soul in America who ever believed Obamacare was a tax. Nor could it have been passed on that basis.

The ongoing controversy is because this enormous social welfare legislation was not passed in a clear, open manner.

Obama knew how to develop an open, participatory, bipartisan health care program. He displayed that knowledge over and over:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPMf6kW_1Nw

Sadly, Obama didn't take his own advice. Obamacare was written in total secrecy by lobbyists for insurance/pharm, etc.

It was rammed through on the pretense that the biggest social welfare legislation in a generation was mere budgetary reconciliation. There were votes at midnight, on Christmas Eve, in a blizzard. Votes were bought via the "Cornhusker Kickback" and the "Lousisiana Purchase."

Obamacare was pushed through not because it was the best idea to improve national health care, but because Obama/Pelosi/Reid saw an ideological opportunity.

Obamacare was not read by those who voted on it, and indeed it couldn't be "read" because even now it is still developing via NPRM.

Thus the present controversy.

This wasn't written behind closed doors, Republicans were invited to join in. Why are you liar Land?

Just off the top of my head the Mandate was their idea and they refused to vote for it even with their ideas. It's nobody's fault but there's that they refused to play ball.

My little bitch Landslider2000 certainly has a fixation with ramming.

This is the seventh time he's posted this drivel in a week.

Original thought is soooooo hard to come by.

He's getting to be a bit like AJ, i.e. simply going through the motions.

Again you conveniently forget about the 161 documented Republican amendments made to the ACA.

If Republicans didn't have time to read the bill then how did they know what needed to be amended?
