sfzombie 3 #5 July 27, 2011 my response to the poll wasn't there. who cares? it's not like he (or any other president) actually does that much anyway. i personally would rather see him acting naturally than not. if he golfs, let him golf in peace. that means everything is ok. as ok is it's goning to be whether he's golfing or not, anyway.http://kitswv.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,027 #6 July 27, 2011 I am told by those who claim their country club dues as expenses against their taxes that a lot of business gets transacted during a round of golf.

The same was done regarding Bush and his time at Crawford (hell still is), you can't expect the same not to be done when the other party is in the white house. I on the other hand recognize that regardless of where the President is (Bush or Obama or whoever the hell it is) they are still able to do whatever it is they "do" regardless of their location.The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember Grover Norquist. The hang up is not the spending cuts, it's the tea party that refuses to budge one inch on revenues or one inch even on tax loopholes. They are bunch of fucking pussies afraid they wont be reelected. Why do you think the MAJORITY of Americans support Obama on this and the Republican Congress is in the shitter? Go look yourself, show me a poll where the majority support the tea party or Republicans on this.

freethefly 6 #20 July 28, 2011 Maybe they can do away with a all of the farm subsidies for the rich land owners who don't own tractor number one. http://www.nypress.com/article-21342-the-making-of-manhattans-elite-welfare-farmers.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/15/republicans-food-aid-women-farm-subsidies_n_877265.html My cousin, Elvin, inherited his fathers farm, near 500 acres in Northwest Missouri. My dad's side of the family has been in this area since the early 1800's. Along with the farm, he got the equipment. There is still a big bill on the combine ($300,000.00 piece of machinery) as well as other high-dollar machinery that is needed to raise corn. He does not get one dollar in subsidies. A good year pays the bills. In a good year he can keep the combine rolling on other farms. This year is looking poorly for them. It's appalling that the richest of the rich are lining their pockets while the real farmers are struggling to make the ends come together. I just don't see how someone who couldn't pick out a combine if it were sitting in a field by itself can call them self a farmer and qualify for subsidies. The richest of the rich are stealing from the taxpayer and have the support of the Teaparty, all the while, those who work their land to support their families are drowning in debt. A breakdown of subsidies in Missouri. http://farm.ewg.org/region.php?fips=29000 58 percent of farmers in Missouri did not collect subsidy payments - according to USDA. Ten percent collected 72 percent of all subsidies. Amounting to $5.59 billion over 16 years. Top 10%: $21,942 average per year between 1995 and 2010. Bottom 80%: $528 average per year between 1995 and 2010"...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."
