Lame Duck2010 and Predictions

So we passed tax breaks for everyone including the richest of the rich just so we could extend unemployment for 13 months, adding roughly a trillion or so more dollars to the debt. My prediction is that in 2012 the tax cuts will remain in place as no president dare raise taxes in an election year, especially after the George H.W. Bush "Read my Lips" debacle. The jobs that the tax cuts are supposed to create will not happen, as U.S. companies are sitting on record amounts of cash and will continue to do so. I would be surprised if unemployment gets below 9.5 percent. One thing that's for sure, as soon as the Republicans take office they will start screaming about the debt and the first thing they will want to cut is Social Security. And Obama the fool thinks this is a good start in bipartisanship. Mitch McConnell will halt any progress on anything, so going into 2012 elections, Obama will look like nothing has been done in the last two years. Darrell Issa (R CA)will start investigating everything from Obama's birth certificate to how he rose up the ranks so fast. It's the people of this country who will suffer. And speaking of suffering, the Republicans who complain that its the Blacks and Hispanics who are robbing our tax dollars from all the welfare they receive, voted down the Dream Act. This law would have put Hispanics who were brought here by their parents when they were too young to have a say so, would have put them on a fast track to citizenship if they complete two years of military service or complete two years of college. Two things, both college and the military prepare you with skills to get a job so you would not have to collect these so called handouts. The second thing is, one of the conservatives argument against abortion is the fetus does not have a say in the decision. Its the same for a four or five year old who's parents came here illegally. They had no choice. In two years let's revisit and see just where we are.

Democratic Party Pussies Control U.S. Senate

That's right, the Democratic Party from the House to the Senate, to the White House are a bunch of spineless pussies. Where is the Obama that campaigned on raising taxes on the rich, while maintaining the tax breaks for the middle class. The Senate Democrats on Saturday wanted to extend the Bush tax cuts for the middle class, going so far as to call anyone making a million dollars a year middle class, and the Republicans voted no. What a bunch of assholes, the Republicans have shown their true colors and basically have said the only people they care about are the people who are making over one million dollars a year. The top one percent of the country. The 42 Republicans in the Senate have all signed a letter to Obama saying they would stall government if tax breaks for the richest one percent of the country were not extended first. They will not fund any more unemployment, they will not sign the START Treaty, they will not vote on Don't Ask, Don't Tell, they will not even fund the federal government, which would force shutdown of non essential services like when Clinton was in office. By the way the Republicans looked like idiots on that one. Even worse is the fact that these tax cuts are unfunded. To pay for them we have to borrow more from China. So why do Republicans talk about the debt when this could add close to another three trillion on to it. It's because they are full of shit. Obama, wake up, you are giving in to them, you keep giving in to them, and do you really think they are going to vote for any of the other stuff I have mentioned above? Yertle the Turtle (Mitch McConnell) said the day after the midterms that the number one goal is to bring you down Obama. If you think they are going to vote yes on that stuff, you are not the elitist they accused you of being, you are just an idiot. It is bullshit that these tax cuts create jobs. They were passed in 2001 and 2003 and seven years later, were in a recession with high unemployment. In fact 2009 and 2010 will have the lowest taxes in history but unemployment has crept back up to 9.8 percent. If you cant see the relation, then you are an idiot. And anyone who is on unemployment that either did not vote or voted Republican, then you are an idiot also. The unemployment rate is going up as the stimulus spending winds down. If you disagree then show me some statistics that prove otherwise and I don't mean Beck or Limbaugh saying it, that isn't a statistic. The real pisser of it all is how much higher of a tax break you get the more you make, in fact someone making a million dollars a year or more will get five times the amount of benefits that someone making around seventy five thousand a year does. Oh and one other thing, people who are on unemployment spend every last dollar they get from it, putting it back into the economy. That's trickle down economics. Someone making a million a year only paying fifteen percent because the majority of his taxes are based on capitol gains, does not spend all that extra money. In fact in most instances it is moved into offshore investments, doing this country little if any good at all and dragging us into a deeper national debt. Why do you think I am for letting all the tax cuts expire? Because the added burden to me is small, but to someone making a million a year or more its a much higher rate. The Tea Party wants to get back to the good old days of their beloved Ronald Reagan. I am all for it. Lets go because then they would be paying 39 percent and the National Debt would dry up in no time.
