Re: US '13 days from financial disaster'

Eating their own:

Joe Scarborough: "I have got to clear this up. Mika heard two days ago on Capitol Hill Democrats all saying the same thing. And that is, this president has been invisible, he is not a leader. They said this all behind closed doors. Democratic leaders, Democratic rank-and-file. In fact, 40, 50 of the most powerful Democrats on the Hill. I will just stop right there. The complaints were all the same. The president has vanished. He has left us here alone again like he did with health care. Where is he? Now, they didn't call him a loser, but they sure as hell didn't call him a leader."

How can this be, raycism sweeping the cuntree.

Another Home Depot Co-Founder Blasts Obama: ‘Unpresidential’ & ‘Willfully Dividing US': (confirming your thoughts, Clint...anyone who denies it just has too much white guilt to see it or they're hopelessly following this fraud off the cliff)

http://conservativebyte.com/2011/07/another-home-depot-co-founder-blasts-obama-unpresidential-willfully-dividing-us/ (includes CNBC interview video)

Must be another damn raycist.

This was actually a pretty good interview and he made some good points about the overall state of the debt.

This guy seems to be like a pretty big dick to me though after seeing what he did to Eliot Spitzer and did whatever he could to take him out after his billionaire ego was hurt. Especially since his buddies on wall st were being restricted by Spitzers oversight.

I have newfound respect for Bachman actually because she resisted the new so-called Boner budget compromise (it passed 218 to 210, only to be tabled, gutted and slaughtered by the Senate) that only kicks the can further down the road:

Here are the Republicans who voted against the bill:

Amash (MI)
Bachmann (MN)
Broun (GA)
Chaffetz (UT)
Cravaack (MN)
DesJarlais (TN)
Duncan (SC)
Graves (GA)
Gowdy (SC)
Huelskamp (KS)
Johnson (IL)
Jordan (OH)
King (IA)
Latham (IA)
Connie Mack (FL)
McClintock (CA)
Mulvaney (SC)
Ron Paul (TX)
Tim Scott (SC)
Southerland (FL)
Walsh (IL)
Wilson (SC)

Backbone and balls when it comes to national survival, these reps put it all on the line.

Re: US '13 days from financial disaster'

You know, I don't think I ever heard anyone from either party talk about cutting spending in areas that didn't directly affect our own economy. What about cutting foreign aid until we can get ourselves out of this mess. I don't think we would get blamed for not being able to support another countries problems when we can't even support our own. I do think cutting funding to government jobs and government programs may not be the smartest thing to do with economy the way it is.

Re: US '13 days from financial disaster'

US President Barack Obama has signed an emergency austerity bill that averted a devastating debt default, but warned the contentious plan was "just the first step'' on a long road to economic recovery.

"It's an important first step to ensuring that, as a nation, we live within our means,'' Obama said in the White House Rose Garden after polarised lawmakers sent him the legislation. "This is, however, just the first step.''
The measure lifts cash-strapped Washington's $US14.3 trillion debt limit by up to $US2.4 trillion while cutting at least $US2.1 trillion in government spending over 10 years, a step forecast to drag down already sluggish US growth.

Despite such wrenching worries, major US companies like 3M, Caterpillar, Goodyear, Microsoft, and Apple have been packing away record profits.

Moreover, if the current trend keeps up, the S&P 500 companies are poised to have their most profitable quarter ever, according to Standard & Poor's analyst Howard Silverblatt, who marvelled at the ``amazing numbers.''


Obama signalled that he would campaign for raising tax revenue on the rich and wealthy corporations, a proposal that has already generated lockstep opposition from Republicans who contend it would smother job creation.
"I've said it before, I will say it again: We can't balance the budget on the backs of the very people who have borne the biggest brunt of this recession,'' he said. "Everyone's going to have to chip in. That's only fair.''

just to be clear...is it shit that obama wants the companies to contribute more or that they are raking it in while everyone is suffering?

Apple has more cash then the US government . http://digital-9.com/tech-news/apple...us-government/

Imho , It's shit that they are raking it in !! I saw Paul Wolfowitz interviewed late night. It was sickening .He claimed the problem was welfare and specifically said it was not any of the wars the US is involved in. I just find it astounding that supposedly reasonable people could possibly think it was a good thing to cut welfare but not tax breaks for the rich.

I think the corruption of the companies enforces money to be trickled down politicians fat back pockets. Which is why governments today are under strings. Obama to a certain degree is trying to enforce minutiae changes, but I'm yet to see drastic actions.
After the so called G.F.C the corporations have had the upper hand.

Just look at these numbers:
