Where did I say I approve? I understand why you have not had a raise in 10

so he thinks i'm 100M americans. i know the right wing can't count but

the ENTIRE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS hasnt had a raise in 10 years.

and he blames it on me!!!

what a MORON.

Yep. Stupid people get left behind in competition. Take sports, no one
comes out to see a looser fumble the ball time after time.... They want
winners!

Well, many an American has lost the winning spirit and traded it in for
whining and welshing. Not my fault they can vote for a big mouth

That is not true at all.

really?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Househo..._United_States

While the median household income has increased 30% since 1990, it has
increased only slightly when considering inflation.

http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/20...o-income-gain/

The typical American household made less money last year than the
typical household made a full decade ago.

To me, that’s the big news from the Census Bureau’s annual report on
income, poverty and health insurance, which was released this morning.
Median household fell to $50,303 last year, from $52,163 in 2007. In
1998, median income was $51,295. All these numbers are adjusted for
inflation.

In the four decades that the Census Bureau has been tracking household
income, there has never before been a full decade in which median
income failed to rise.


-----------
so go ahead, tell us more rush limballs right wing bull****...



There are plenty of people who are making
more money than they did 10 years ago,. I am married to one of them.

more right wing bull****....no one gives a flying **** about your
wife. she's not 100,000,000 members of the middle class

you right wingers crack me up. you have your little fantasy worlds,
your talk radio bull**** and you ignore the evidence.

i'm sure you're unable to use real data...but the grownups use it.

About as often as the CBO guestimates.
Medicare cost 10 times what the CBO projected in the first 10 years.
It has been bankrupt for about 4-5, simply borrowing money to pay it's
bills.

And, your solution is what exactly? I don't think getting rid of medicare is
going to be very popular.


Nothing painful is popular, that is why we are borrowing 40 cents of
every dollar the federal government spends.
Unfortunately I don't have a good answer but there is going to be a
bad answer, forced on us by reality, within the next few years.
At a certain point, we may have a hard time finding people who will
loan the US money for an interest rate we can afford to pay.
Then we will have our "Greece" moment and a lot of the things we think
we are "entitled to" will go away. The open question will be whether
we will have the same street riots the Greeks had. It won't be exactly
the same since we are better armed.



Easy solution: draconian tax increases on individuals with more than
$250,000 a year in income, on that income over $250,000, no ceilings on
payroll taxes, stricter tax rules on corporations, especially on
overseas investments, et cetera. Oh...and cutting military expenditures
in half.

It is certainly a move in the right direction but it is not enough to
solve the problem.
The interest on the debt is almost as big as the pentagon budget and
it will pass it in the next year or two. SS/Medicare dwarf both of
those in the out years. (2016 and beyond)
They are both upside down already. I am not sure how much our kids are
willing to pay in payroll taxes when they figure out grandma is making
more money than they do. As a group, the seniors have more disposable
income than the people under 35.
That may not remain true when boomers who are still carrying huge debt
loads try to retire but I blame them (sorry Bob).
They should have listened to their depression era parents and lived
within their means.
I have always told people, if you can't afford to feed yourself, how
can you afford to feed yourself and a banker. That is what borrowing
is. Why do people always assume they will have more money later?


I'm afraid the only solution for this country will involve an entire
upheaval of society, towards a northern European socialist model that
helps rebuild a larger and stronger middle class that has options for
housing, good health care, good schools, and decent opportunities for
the future of its children. To get there will involve relieving the
wealthy of a good chunk of its holdings, regulations that favor
investment only in the United States, a demilitarization, and real Wall
Street, banking, insurance reform.

Well, either it's an accurate list of polls or not. They seem like pretty

taxes for those who can afford it.

You guys really need to calm down about the deficit. In the short term, it
is required to ensure a stable economy. It's fixable in the long term. The
rest is just fear-based bs.

Cut $500 billion out of the military budget...

Close tax loopholes for the rich...

Disallow corporate overseas investments that do not serve our national

Do not allow importation of products manufactured overseas from
countries that do not pay decent wages and bennies to workers...

Allow a commission to government workers who uncover fraud in government

The only numbers re cost are from the CBO, which you don't want to use. They

It is all in how you frame the question. If you use words like single
payer (without defining it) they like it better than when you say
government health care.


I agree. Here you go from various polls listed on the site...

Would you favor or oppose a program that creates a national single-payer
plan similar to Medicare for all, in which the government would provide
healthcare insurance to all Americans?

"When given a choice of the current system or one "like Medicare that is run
by the government and financed by taxpayers," voters overwhelmingly chose
the latter. A solid majority (59%) say they would prefer a national health
insurance program that covers everyone, over the current system of private
insurance offered to most through their emloyer."

Americans are more likely today to embrace the idea of the government
providing health insurance than they were 30 years ago. 59% say the
government should provide national health insurance, including 49% who say
such insurance should cover all medical problems.

Check this out.
http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesam...er/wealth.html

Ignore any politics and look at the numbers.
That "middle class" bpharic is always whining about?
Doesn't exist.
That vast amount of money the "average" American Joe has invested in
Wall Street that their news media pimps are always talking about?
Doesn't exist.
That deficit that Greg is always whining about?
Guess where that money went?
Forget about the top 1%.
Just the top 400 wealthy people in the U.S. are worth the entire
deficit. Just the top 400. Forbes has that info.
How do you think they accumulated that wealth?
Inflation?
The rich didn't get your money with inflation.
They got it by selling American jobs to foreigners.
That's what's caused the deficit too.
Wealth for the "average" guy comes from work.
Wealth for the wealthy comes from selling out the "average" guy.
They call that their "work."
That's how it works.
And the pols seem happy with that.
Most are pretty wealthy. You can look that up too.
That's how it works.

used the rationalization that any bill called "health care" was better

expect to see massive public outrage.

blah blah blah...when has the right wing crystal ball been right?

About as often as the CBO guestimates.
Medicare cost 10 times what the CBO projected in the first 10 years.
It has been bankrupt for about 4-5, simply borrowing money to pay it's
bills.

And, your solution is what exactly? I don't think getting rid of medicare
is
going to be very popular.


Nothing painful is popular, that is why we are borrowing 40 cents of
every dollar the federal government spends.
Unfortunately I don't have a good answer but there is going to be a
bad answer, forced on us by reality, within the next few years.
At a certain point, we may have a hard time finding people who will
loan the US money for an interest rate we can afford to pay.
Then we will have our "Greece" moment and a lot of the things we think
we are "entitled to" will go away. The open question will be whether
we will have the same street riots the Greeks had. It won't be exactly
the same since we are better armed.


Couple this with American jobs being filled by HB-1 visa holder, documented
and undocumented workers and outsourcing and we will have reached the end of
the Empire of the United States of America.
I wonder the the left wing Chinese will treat wetback gringos as nicely as
we've treated our illegals? I'm thinking not.
And who will China sell all their crap to? Maybe they'll have to keep their
poisoned pet food, contaminated people food and lead laden toys at home?
Who wiil they spy on? Will they send $7M per day to Israel for bombs and
bullets?
We are in for a lot of changes. We should get ready by doing something about
the pilots that are driving this big plane into the ground. Maybe start with
term limits? Maybe follow that with identifying corruption within our
government and punishing the corrupt?

Ah, **** it - there's a game on/I need to go to the hairdresser/etc etc etc.
and my party tells me as long as I send em 25 bucks and vote their way,
everything will be just_ friggin_ peachy.
