Quit it!  I'm not sayin Scott is stupid.  I'm sayin he passed legislation that benefits him personally.  Do you get it?

I could tell you a similar story about my life....but that's not what were talking about.  we're talking about people that weren't as lucky as us.  I have a friend who is 60 with a college degree who is now drawing food stamps.  that's what we're talking about.  He doesn't smoke dope or is capable of hanging with my drinking habits.........most welfare recipients are the weak and the stupid who are incapable of managing their money.  If you want to fix that problem then they need education and mandatory jobs whilst they draw their welfare.  I know this sounds a little right wing to you, but I believe that if you're on welfare you should receive mandatory counseling and clean the shoulders of roads til you get it.   OK I said it

Drugs test are a joke

Here is a comment on the release today of Numb Nuts uncle.  Now I have to tell you, I'm not so sure he was actually released but the information on him is very skinny.  I wonder why? 

Am I the only one that finds this just way too surreal??? For Christ sake our PRESIDENT has not one but TWO illegal relatives here... WTF you can't tell me that TEAM OBAMA didn't vett this out before he was president... No administration is that stupid. Anybody with half a brain would have handled this before it became a national incidient.. It's just one more example of an incompetent and tone deaf administration. My god we have elected such low brow trailer trash idiot for president.

No problem though, when questioned if he wanted to call a lawyer he said he would call the White House.  He should be alright.  Aunt Zeituni was illegal and they put her in a housing project with all the free stuff gave her status and allowed her to stay.  What a country.

From the NY Times    I guess that makes it official, Numb Nuts is in trouble. 

Democrats Fret Aloud Over Obama’s Chances   http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/11/us/politics/11obama.html

“If the election were held today, it would be extremely close here in Florida,” said Jon M. Ausman, a member of the Democratic National Committee from Florida.

Problems for Mr. Obama in Florida, Mr. Ausman said, could trickle down into next year’s Senate race there, where Bill Nelson, a Democrat, faces re-election. “Too many people here have lost their jobs,” Mr. Ausman said.

For all the hand-wringing among Democrats, some party leaders say Mr. Obama has time to reverse his slipping fortunes — but not much.

“I think there’s an uneasy feeling, but it’s a little early for an ulcer to develop,” said Representative Gerald E. Connolly of Virginia. “Obviously, the dark cloud over everything is the economic performance.”

Mr. DeFazio recalled attending a dozen or so town-hall-style meetings recently in his district, a slice of western Oregon that Mr. Obama carried in 2008 by 11 percentage points. Mr. DeFazio said party loyalists had bluntly said they were reconsidering their support.

“I have one heck of a lot of Democrats saying, ‘I voted for him before, don’t know if I can do it again,’ ” he said.

President Bush lauded the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 for providing “a booster shot for our economy … [putting] money back into the hands of American workers and businesses.” Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and John Boehner (R-OH) as well as Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) all seemed to agree, as did nearly 200 other Republican members of Congress that voted in support of the bill.

Today the case for job-creation measures is even stronger than it was in 2008. Despite 17 straight months of private-sector job growth, the unemployment rate remains stubbornly high at 9.1 percent. With previous measures that successfully boosted economic growth winding down and expiring, and with the Tea Party demanding huge cuts to vital public services, there is a real danger that things could get even worse.

President Barack Obama wants Congress to extend the temporary payroll tax cut that was enacted at the beginning of 2011. Many economists believe that failing to extend this tax cut could seriously damage the economy. The Economic Policy Institute, for instance, estimates that if the payroll tax cut is allowed to expire, it could cost more than 1 million jobs. Economists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. recently listed the expiration of the payroll tax cut as one of the three biggest threats to the U.S. economy, and the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics urged Congress to extend the payroll tax cut or risk triggering a second recession.

The theory behind the payroll tax cut is essentially the same as that of the temporary tax cuts in President Bush’s stimulus package—to get more money into the hands of American households so demand for goods and services doesn’t dry up, resulting in even more job losses. Given the similarity, you’d expect no objections from the same conservative lawmakers who supported the 2008 version. Sadly, you’d be wrong.

Prominent congressional Republican and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) criticizes a payroll tax cut as “sugar-high economics.” Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), the fourth-ranking member of the Republican caucus, says it is not a very effective way to stimulate the economy. And a spokesman for Majority Leader Cantor says his boss “has never believed that this type of temporary tax relief is the best way to grow the economy.”

Needless to say, all three of these members voted in favor of the 2008 legislation, which included both temporary tax relief and additional spending. In fact, of the 134 current House Republicans that were also serving in 2008, 85 percent voted in favor of temporary tax cuts and additional spending as economic stimulus.

Actually they're just self serving pri#ks that could care less about America......if it means winning an election!

One question.  Bush signed into law in 2008 a bill that spent $158 billion.  How much has Numb Nuts spent since then on trying to create jobs and what is the unemployment rate now?  In 2008 when he signed the bill the unemployment rate was 4.8%.

From your left wing nut job article. 

Stimulus is now a dirty word, especially among Republicans in Congress. But it wasn't always so. In January 2008 when the economic picture was far less dire and the unemployment rate was only 4.8 percent, 165 Republicans in the House of Representatives and 33 Republican senators voted to pass a stimulus package with an estimated cost of $152 billion. That package provided tax cuts of up to $600 for individuals or $1,200 for married couples, plus an additional $300 per child. The bill also contained a number of temporary tax breaks for businesses. And just in case you thought President George W. Bush's stimulus bill was simply a bunch of tax cuts, it also included $40 billion in direct spending. The legislation was even called the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008.

Maybe the problem is that Numb Nuts' other policies have wrecked the economy.  Obamacare, Dodd/Frank and his constant anti-business rhetoric.  Just to name a few.    In 421 days we may start to see some improvement after we rid ourselves of this administration.

You didn't expect Bush to give the working class a lot of money did you?  That was just a few months before he gave his wall street buddies nearly a trillion....lord knows they deserved it.  Bush did create a new Republican policy though.  He figured out that if the Republicans spent all the money there wouldn't be any for the democrats to spend.  That policy seems to be working today quite well.  If they can just keep Obama from spending anything at all there might be a little more "debt budget" left to screw the American people out of another trillion or so and give it to campaign donors.
