You go snuggle up to Berry and what has been wrought over the last six years. Austerity is a fine word. Punishing bad decisions/leadership and unions that force them is a good thing. Hitting the "reset" button vs. to big to fail and propping up and enrichening those that caused the meltdown MY preferred tactic. Wasting trillions of dollars on government growth and crony nepotism a HUGE failure. A complete lack of attention to SS a ticking timebomb. Printing money and letting the FED prop up greed and failure rather than re-setting WRONG. Flat wages...with inflation going backward for millions of worker-bees...

Yeah, I have something other than sour grapes to define the Obama Legacy...

Yeah, "FREE" Junior College Tuition....BILLION's price tag to feds and state....Yeah!!!!!

NOPE.

I'm sorry, but where were you during the 8 years prior to Berry. I do not recall any of you being vocal when Dick said, and I quote "deficits don't matter". Or were you quiet then because Fox was telling you everything was Ok and we needed the deficits to go blow shit up in the desert. For once, can you answer the question. You seem to be incapable of doing so.

Flat wages have been around since 1970. GOP is amazing at doing the exact thing they accuse the other side of doing. Take income redistribution. They are correct, it's been happening. Just in the opposite direction you claim. There has been a widespread theft of middle class wealth by the right wing.

Funny how regressives incessantly talk about about lower wages and income and in the same breath demonize unions.

Unless they are police or firefighter unions, of course, who's pensions are actually considerably more unstable than the so called SS ticking time bomb. SS ticking time bomb can be solved in 1 minute: apply SS tax to all earnings with no cap. So Romney pays 27% instead 13%. He'd still be 16% under my 2013 and 2014 rate. And guess what, Scott, it will be exactly solved like that because old folks vote.

AndyFromCB · January 10, 2015

What "Right Wing" is that?

GOP establishment whom for years have been shifting the tax burden on the middle class away from upper classes and onto workers and away from corporations. Even the so called 47% who don't pay federal tax actually pay more than Romney paid. They pay 15%, Romney only paid 13%. Do I get angry when I see Romney pay 1/3 of what do, you bet ya. However, my solution is not making Romney pay 1% less so I can enjoy the same 1% tax cut. My solution is make Romney pay, I don't know, 40%, while I pay, let's see, 20% or so. I understand math, ratios and economy. Mitt has never created a job by playing the stock market. Mitt has lobbyists on K Street making my tax money flow his way, I don't. I vote my own interests, not some pie in the sky ideas. If people voted their own interests, GOP would get 1% of the vote, the democratic party would get 19% and the socialists would get 80%. 80% of the population is poor like a church mouse and forever destined to stay that way no matter how hard they work. The don't have the time to sit on airplane forums between their 3 part time jobs or spend their winters skiing, summers boatings and fall shooting birds. Please do not tell me the rich work harder, because that is simply not the case.

P.S. Actually, well, that's a lie. My industry has lobbyists on K street too. I send in my dues annually.

Same here.

But let's be honest here, if it weren't for all of those tax cuts, the job creators wouldn't have created jobs. This is evidenced when some of the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire, all of the unemployment and slow job growth we are now experiencing is a direct result of the job creators having to pay more tax.

**flyboy0681** · January 10, 2015

One small problem. Cost of payroll is tax deductible. Gross vs net, hard concept for Joe "not a licensed" Plumber to grasp...

I was being totally facetious. If there is one term in the GOP arsenal that I hate the most, it's "job creator". There's nothing to it yet each and every single politician from the right spews this term to ad nauseum. I'm guessing it's one page one, paragraph one, item one of the GOP playbook and they are under strict orders to repeat it until the American public accepts it as the undisputed truth.

Oh yeah, the party of freedom for sure has a lot more discipline. It's like watching a cult.

Don't you know that if McDs had to pay, let's say 15 an hour, all of the sudden all owners of McDs would just throw in the towel, get on their jets and retreat to Aspen to pray to Ayn Rand for John Galt to make a glorious second coming.

Trickle down theory. Recently proven to work in Kansas. Look at all that surplus from that big tax cut that passed last year !

Dammit, you're just not giving it enough time to work!

Rep. Ryan Zinke-Former Navy Seal Team 6 member:

"This Administration's inaction and lack of commitment and resolve in fighting ISIS provides fuel for terrorism. It gives them hope that they can win and it has ramifications worldwide"

Navy Seals are not selected for their long term strategic thinking abilities. People capable of that kind of thought are also capable of self preservation hence they tend to have "priorities other" than enlisting, to quote Dick Cheney. So just like I am not going to ask a barber if I need a haircut, I'm not going to ask a Navy seal if we need to blow shit up. That's why we have civilian control of the military.

**carusoam** · January 10, 2015

R&D once was a sacred part of American companies...

It provided high level jobs for Americans and others...

It was a promoted activity by the folks in DC by way of not having to pay taxes on it.

One day (back in the 80s) the tax free status was removed...

The R&D facility I was working in was consolidated...

My job moved out of state...

This has happened to many of the smaller companies that had an R&D organization.

I would vote for the guy who could put R&D back in the USA!

Extending high school for two more years would help who? How?

Or put another way, to a hammer everything looks like a nail.

**carusoam** · January 10, 2015

State supported high school extension would provide everyone with the same slightly larger hammer...

It is hard to get paid more when everyone has the same skills...

Is it selfish to get paid more by acquiring higher or differentiating skills?

They can win how? Please explain. Can they, every now and then, harvest .0000000001% of our population, sure, but that's much less than we harvest ourselves annually, with "our freedoms". Can they win in any strategic sense of the word? No.

Love getting insight into how you libtards think. Makes my day. Thank you.

We think, big difference. You've yet to demonstrate any use of the great facilities between your ears other than ability to memorize and repeat, verbatim.

Here is a quick chart for you, terrorism being 1/20 million. I'm sorry if I don't freak out like you every time someone farts. Maybe I should have been a navy seal. I did after all survive 3 engine outs since 1999.

How about the Palestinian's? Should the USA continue to fund them?

I think US should quit funding both Palestinians and Israelis...

I guess it's an old chart, I don't see Ebola anywhere. According to Fox that was supposed to do us in for sure.

Astel needs better mechanical support... 3 engine outs?

AndyFromCB · January 10, 2015

What was the economic impact of 911 in a "strategic sense" to the USA?

Would have been about $2 billion if we didn't decide to pull out a canon to swat a fly. So I guess 3 to 4 trillion. But once again, really, zero, kept a lot of people in the arms industry employed for a long time. They money just got shuffled around.

This works well for the "global relativism" crowd and states only the obvious. When we wake up in the morning, we all know what our chances are. But we also know one terrorist attack can stun air travel, ground your airplane, shut down our financial markets, ruin political aspirations, entangle us in war and instill fear in our masses. This kind of really dumb shit works well for people who like to explain away failures in public policy and international weakness. Blasé' liberals and libertarians alike, who don't argue on merit, but instead, deflect and seek moral and statistical equivalency.

**flyboy0681** · January 10, 2015

In other news The New York Times in ultimate hypocritical fashion publishes cartoon's ripping on Christianity and Jews but won't publish Charlie cartoon's for fear of offending the sensibilities of those that practice Islam.

Black baby Jesus in arms of Madonna with dung on her breast with photos of genitals behind? Publish.

Cartoon of Prophet? NOPE

What a liberal B.S. cesspool of a rag.

Please point me to one conservative outlet, doesn't matter which one - your choice - that published any of the aforementioned Charlie cartoons.

AndyFromCB · January 10, 2015

Cause I'm an idiot as Scott can well attest to. Not, I will not go into details, but 100% my fault...
