Shocking! Color me shocked.

Why? It started with the OP so why skip any? I mean is there an issue here? We discussing solutions?

Sanity -> RE: NEWS FLASH: (10/4/2011 12:06:32 PM)
Ive got him wound awfully tight, Firm... [;)]

mnottertail -> RE: NEWS FLASH: (10/4/2011 12:11:46 PM)
nope, you dont. I am laughing at you as everyone else here is, hell I am betting we could cut a pound of quarter inch washers off your ass with the hemmoroids you are developing over this.

Sanity -> RE: NEWS FLASH: (10/4/2011 12:16:54 PM)
You give yourself wayyy too much credit. You are a clown mnot... the best you can ever hope for is a derail, and you need help doing that.

mnottertail -> RE: NEWS FLASH: (10/4/2011 12:19:24 PM)
Yeah, so on topic, what besides increasing our debt to historical proportions is the republican house doing?

Shocking! Color me shocked. I'm pretty sure this was exactly what was predicted would happen if we gave the cons their way and instituted austerity measures. Seems Keynes was right all along but the left knew this and the right will refuse to see it even with the evidence right in their face.

Refusing to see evidence in front of your face seems to be your problem. Have you seen the stock market and unemployment since Obama introduced his jobs bill, which is nothing more than doubling down on his failed Keynesian policies?

mnottertail -> RE: NEWS FLASH: (10/4/2011 2:33:09 PM)
ORLY? so what bill has been implemented?

Austerity measures: Reducing money to states so that they can do things like pay teachers, pay fire fighters and police officers. Talking about reducing medicaid, Medicare and social security (hint: the people on those programs are already dirt poor). Arguing for even more tax cuts for the rich. A few days ago somebody posted a list of the top marginal tax rates 1913-present and any body who is honest will admit there were better economic times during periods of the highest top marginal tax rate. And it is only the highest marginal rate we want most of us want to see raised--I doubt anybody on this board is a multimillionaire.

The question was about austerity measures that have happened, not talked about. The only one actually taken is OBAMAs medicare cuts. 2. If you think you have to be a "multi-millionaire" to pay the top marginal tax rate you might want to stop listening to Obama's demonization of the rich for about 30 seconds and actually read a tax table.

Color me surprised.

Drastic budget cuts at the state level due to no federal stimulus primarily but also budget cuts at the federal level due to the compromise budget and the debt ceiling hostage taking.

Exactly the tax table will charge anyone's income minus deductions and exemptions. Thats why we the rich people prefer to make money via capital gains which is only at 15%.
