Looks like Rummy's been at it a little while longer than I thought. Anyone else starting to think Dubya was a stooge?
Silly me - thought that was rather obvious!
Hence why Cheney was often referred to as the "Puppet Master". All the political bantering aside - IMPO Doonesbury seemed to have a more accurate depiction / portrayal of the "W" administration than any of the so-called "Real" news outlets.

Who is to blame?
Politicians that hold the world economy randsom while they bandstand for their voters?
-
How to get the stock market headed up, employment headed up, citizens to regain confidence in USA and just a general good feeling all around.
5 little words "I will not run again".
OK, let the brickbat start flying. It was just to calm on this site.

Mubarak: "I Will Not Run Again", I'm guessing you are refering to Obama now, but will deny the TEA party held the world economy to randsom.
You are probably wishing and praying for Rick Perry to announce he is running for president, because we all know how great Texas presidents are.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
Damn, just so happens the above is what I believe.
So let me get this straight, ordinary people across the country, say enough is enough, and hold meetings, help elect representatives that believe as they do is the cause of this catastrophe? No, don't think so. So my carfox says, "show me the plan"

Nope, it's the Tea party pandering.
When in the past 74 times that the debt cieling been raised has there been a shit storm like this? NONE!
Why?'cause y'all repugs/teabaggers will do anything to destroy Obama, even if it means destroying your own counrty in the process.
George Bush raised it 7 times, Reagan raised it 18 times, but y'all said f@ck all, but when Obama does it then y'all make it out to be the end of the world.

Well Solo I see you are a good liberal. It only took two replies before you stooped to calling people names. Not a record, but fast, very fast. Curious why a liberal would find it OK to call people by a derogatory gay sexual act. No need to answer.
Now, for the question of the day, list the Democratic senators that voted for a debt ceiling raise when there was a Republican President?
When in the past 74 times have we been this far in debt. Nada.
As for destroying my country, nope, trying save this country, from a complete failure to be able to pay our future debts. No, I love my country. Just took a big hit on my retirement income the last couple of days. Not worried or mad, just know that we can not keep promising and promising without reaching the limit of our wealth, which I believe we have already exceeded.

Does the word Teabagger offend you? really?
Nothing 'Gay'on my side,just a buch of redneck yahoo's...ah! yes the homophobic party...I forgot.

Faultily information your definitions, a process people who have no facts or wish to obscure the facts use to misguide and confuse the audience.
Definition for teabagging:
To tea bag is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth of a sexual partner. The practice resembles dipping a tea bag into a cup of tea when it is done in a repeated in-and-out motion. As a form of non-penetrative sex, it can be done for its own enjoyment or as foreplay.
The web site, how does this web site further or clarify the conversation about how far in debt we are as a nation?
So you didn't even try to answer the question about the senators.
Signed the Carefox, "Show me the plan"

@ Teabagging.I'm shocked you'd assume I mean't that, I'm shocked that such an act even exists.

ok where does it say it has to be a man? (your "Curious why a liberal would find it OK to call people by a derogatory gay sexual act. No need to answer.")
by your definition, it's "partner" - can be man or woman...and why is it "derogatory"?

Not really interested in defining "teabagging". What I am interested in is why people who say WHOA! on the mounting debt have to be demonized. Where is the give take on the virtue of trying to have a viable country.
Enough already, got to get to work. It has been fun, however not very enlightening.
Carefox signing off. "Show me the plan"

actually I don't care about your country or it's debt or "demonizing" said country/debt. tho you just demonized this act.. I do care about this "teabagging". what is it? is it fun? can I find someone to try it with? etc.

I think we all are saying whao to the mounting debt even what some call libs dem or whatever. Its the other side that doesnt recognize that we have to raise taxes on the wealthy "job creators" (where r the jobs) to help payoff or down the debt as well. If we know the house is on fire we put out the fire and not let the house burn down pointing out how the fire got started. Has nothing to do with transfering money. We dont we call it transfering wealth when the moneys going in the other direction. If those at the top don't contribute to solving problem the mayhem in the marketsd will continue. Too bad it had to come to this. Now it will be a more expensive fix. Stay Calm.....

Yes, increasing the taxes, doubling the taxes, taking all income for taxes will help, but then you will still need more. It needs to end now, not by taxing everyone, but by reducing our debt and eliminating or reducing our future promises to people that is adding still more debt.
I work for my family, and when I get to the point that I am working to keep other people afloat, I am gone. Moving on. Right now you wish to tax the rich, they don't make enough money to pay for the promises we have made. Right now 50% of the population pay no taxes, or get a return bigger than the taxes that was withheld during the year and these are the very people clamoring ,"tax the rich". If it was up to me, everyone would pay taxes, even if it was only $5 per year. You need skin in the game to understand what is happening.

This discussion reminds me of a friend problem a couple years ago. One month he paid $500 to get his truck fixed. The next month another $200 to get it fixed. The next month, he put $2500 down and had a note of $350 per month. Now he was happy, he wouldn't have to shell out all that money for repairing his old truck, and he saw nothing wrong with his decision. Of course he was in the same predicament a couple of years later, paying to have his truck fixed again. Never understanding, that money spent in preventative repairs, oil changes, just general servicing would reduce his debt load from his trucks.
Put me in the group of "Equal opportunity, not equal results".

Ken,
You are kind of all over the place on this - but I agree strongly with one thing you said. Not the teabagger definiton
(learn something new here everyday) but the five words ("I will not run again") reference! We suffer from a lack of leadership in all facets of the government (President and both Houses) as partisan politics rule the day and every politician's first priroity once they are elected seems to be pandering to those that will help to get them re-elected. I would be really interested to see how it would work if we eliminated politics as a profession and made it all single 4 year terms, and you could only run again after sitting out a term. I think that would be much more of a "for the people by the people" approach.The market reactions to the S&P ratings reflect a clear lack of confidence that the current group in both the Whitehouse and on Capitol Hill will be able to get past the Politics and deal with the financial issues that are facing this country. While the economists don't agree on all of the points - if you read through what they write or listen to their comments, there are some clear basic concepts and no one in the Government seems to want to listen.
On top of all of this - if you look closely at who is lining up to take the next shot at it in 2012............scary
