as to the stimulous http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/nov/22/cbo-stimulus-hurts-economy-long-run/ yes short term it could provide some help but long term as i said over and over again it is a detriment to the economy Reps came up with a plan including tax hikes that dems wouldnt look at so screw them they are a bigger problem than the reps ATM I know fed is independant but as i understand it the chairman of the fed is appointed by the govt. therefore they have some control. if i am mistaken then well There is no blame to be laid at the politicians feet. Again here in canada we went through this in the 90's and the govt did slash and burn and that is why we have weathered this storm soo soo much better than you guys. The solution is to slash and burn, yes taxes must go up but ya gotta kill a large number of useless govt jobs. I am going to make assumptions here but as far as i can tell ALL govt orginizations are the same, I work for a private not for profit corporation that used to be govt. We went from 7 levels of management to 3 i have no doubt you could do the same to most govt depts. Problem is the govt usually leaves it to the beaurocrats to decide on where to cut and they never cut their management staff just the people providing services and that is done on purpose as a way of getting any politician in trouble with the public when he/she proposes govt cuts So once again slash and burn the beaurocrats stop stimulous spending as it does/has and always will hurt the economy in the long run! get your financial house in order and the economy will pick up. continue to spend and its just gonna get worse down the road.

Un f***** believable. I mean seriously I still cannot believe the fed lent 16 trillion, Where did they get the $$ is there even more printing of money going on? Seriously you guys are way way way more screwed that I thought! And when you go down your gonna drag us along with you THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! according to the article it happened between sept 2007 and July 2010 under both Bush and Obama. I take it back i no longer think Obama might be equally as moronic as Bush I am now convinced of it! umm for 2 years he didnt need a single republican the problem was even Dems were worried about his bad ideas, He had to work his butt of promising crap to them to get enough on board to pass his bad ideas. Yes i disagree 100% and where in this spending of more cash did he try to solve your increasing deficit? hes going the wrong way because again he is a moron just like bush! as to Him making compromises where? the Reps actually made proposals to the supercomitee the dems never did they just said no to the reps and claimed they wanted more taxes. not a peep from them on cuts! come on The Dems are playing party politics even more than the Reps ATM. Name 1 concrete thing Obama has doen to try and solve the deficit problem! (spening more money on usless create temporary jobs bills do not count) it has all been we gotta make the rich pay their fair share (ie class warfare) sorry mr Obama they already pay more than others. If you were talking about getting rid of tax exemptions and not raising taxes ya might just possibly have some points but no, hes a joke! Not that im saying the Reps would be much better but I will wait to see who wins the nomination and listen to them before i say who I would vote for (if i was allowed to vote) ATM Obama is very unlikely to get my vote. Dawh I never said Elizabeth Warren was pandering to the base i said she stated this isnt about class warfare then used class warfare language to attack the rich! HYPOCRITE! but then what do you expect from a politician. I havent heard a single person claim the rich shouldnt pay taxes, ATM they are paying more as individuals in terms of straight $ and as % so what is her freaking point? other than class warfare i see no point in that statement! Bernie Sanders calls himself a Socialist, but I don't think he calls himself a Communist, so anyone who thinks he's wrong because they don't like Communism is mischaracterizing his positions. As I understand it, it's his belief (though I don't like the term 'belief') that government can and should have a role in helping people live a good life. For the times when you fall down, the government should be there to help you back up. And it can't do that without being properly funded. So someone has to pay taxes. It's just a matter of who pays and what percent they pay. I agree they arent the same, in fact there has never been an actual communist country ever, they have all been/are extreme left wing dictatorships. socialist believe that the govt is the solution to ALL problems this is an inherently wrong notion and why i have little time for Bernie Saunders. We have a similar guy here in Quebec Amir Khadr, he's actually a co leader?? of a party and a compelte nut job but he supposedly fights for the littele guy, even when hes stepping all over him for some crazy idea of his. Govt has it place and certain things should/must be done through them but many many areas of govt intervention in life is wrong and usually makes things worse. Not necessarily because they start off wrong but they always get carried away and try to fit the square peg in the round hole. The red is where i disagree with him 100% govt should be responsible for providing an environment where you can strive for a good life. govt CANNOT provide a good life. Of course i think govt should make sure people dont starve to death etc. but not provide a good life. Sorry you will never ever ever have enough money to do that, there will always be poor people. I have yet to see a system where that can possibly be avoided. Someone has to wash the dishes, clean the toilets etc. These people will never have the same standard of living as people doing work requiring more skill/learning etc. ALL attempts to try and make these people equal to a doctor/mechanic/lawyer/office worker will result in EVERYONE having a lower standard of living, always has always will. This is why I Consider Bernie a nutball.</p> The yellow is where i agree with the statement but Disagree with him on what it actually means. He wants the govt to not lend a helping hand to get someone back on their feet but provide an elevator with a lazyboy to take the weight off as the govt lifts him back up. It is a matter of degrees here. As to tax rates no I dont misunderstand them in fact i i took the time to go back over it you would see me trying to explain this point but ill do so again. Person A 25000$ Person B 100000$ Person C 1000000$ Person D 10000000$ (uber risch guy) Using your numbers here are taxes and % tax rate. Person A 3325$ 13.3% Person B 21617$ 21.6% Person C 327314$ 32.7% Person D 3477314$ 34.7% I rounded down for all % but please note the richer you are the more you pay and the larger % in fact the uber rich guy at 10kk$ is dang close to the actual 35% the 1kk% is even closer to 33% still only 2.3% off the top tax rate the 100k guy (a real decent salary i think we all agree, mid/upper middle class) is 21.5 or 6.4% off his nominal top rate. 25k$ is lower class i think we can all agree. he pays just 1.7% below his nominal top rate but if you compare him to the middle class guy hes only paying 60% of the middle class guys rate. Now im not advocating a flat tax rate here, in fact I dont know your US system. But roughly the first 10k$ earned is tax free here in Canada so the differences would be even greater here. I would like to know how anyone can look at hese numbers and say the rich are not paying their fair share! To do so is to be advocating class warfare As you can see the more you make the closer you get to that top rate Yeah if you make 1$ over the limit your only paying tax at higher rate on that 1$ but your are very close the the next lower top rate and still paying a larger % than someone making less than you.

Um 15 trillion?? Could you provide a link? as the US debt and the US economy are both = 15 trillion (DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER!) I find that number to be well increadible as in i cannot take it creadibly. I am sure there is either an error in your number or Bernie was exaggerating and never did find any actual proof. If this is a real number, about 100000000X less likely than me winning the lottery I apologize but seriously think of these things before you throw numbers out there. i know everyone likes to exagerrate but that is just well... I cant find any words. As to good ideas, well being close to vermont we hear a bit about Barnie and I cant recall him having much in the way of good ideas. You are right he is a socialist that pretty much starts him off on the wrong side of the scale for good to bad ideas right there. I agree that Barnie cares, but caring and being wrong dont help. I believe that Bush actually believed he was doing the right thing going into IRAK, making the world a better safer place etc... being true to your beliefs when they are wrong even if you are doing it for the right reasons is no excuse. I agree 2 party system makes it harder but we have sorta a 3 party system (its complicated) and well its only a little better, As to Obama trying to help the debt crisis? how? when? no offence but this guy is a moron possibly equal in lack of brain cells to your last president. All in all as far as i can tell you keep picking dumber and dumber ones. I know your system makes it hard for an inteeligent person to actually make it even to the finals (ie past the primaries) but sheesh cant ya do a little better? yes your electoral college system, though i cant say i am 100% comprehending of it, seems a bit weird, A popular vote seems like a much better system to me but then again it would give California, New York and other large states (actually cities as the rural votes in these states are pretty small) huge power, so I donno something better but it must be thoughly thought out to avoid the inevetable negative effects that crop up when people act without thinking things all the way though and use wishfull thinking on how people/systems/situations will act/react to any new environment, rules or other changes.
