rushmc 23 #1 February 21, 2014 QuotePresident Obama is going back on his promise to compromise on reducing the federal debt with a budget proposal for 2015 that would increase spending by $56 billion. His move, an apparent effort to bolster Democrats in this fall's midterm elections, abandons the "grand bargain" he offered last year to appease Republicans, The Washington Post reports. He had promised to put a lid on spiraling retirement spending by reducing cost-of-living increases for Social Security recipients in return for an increase in taxes on the richest Americans. Special: How to make your first million! Obama's 2015 budget proposes increased spending on programs to bolster the middle class, including funding for early-childhood education initiatives and job training. As budget details leaked out, a spokesman for GOP House Speaker John Boehner said it's more proof the president never intended to make good on his promise to work across party lines to trim the deficit. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/budget-spending-gop-compromise/2014/02/21/id/553950"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Channman 2 #4 February 21, 2014 Well I suppose democrats and many, not all GOP members are resigned to go down with the ship as currently scheduled.Has to be on purpose, surely they are not doing this because their stupid, maybe it's a great deal of both.

RonD1120 62 #9 February 22, 2014 My wife and I just finished watching the entire epic of "House of Cards" on Netflix. Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright et. al., play very believable characters. Their portrayal of liberal Democrat power manipulators on The Hill make it very clear why someone would choose to identify as Liberal Progressive Democrats. There is a lot to be gained by the heartless. The overall picture of where our country is headed is becoming much more discernible.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was waiting for a conservative to grumble about Obama doubling the debt, while conveniently *forgetting* that Reagan nearly tripled it and GWB more than doubled it (and left the country in a recession). Liberals may not win on the debt, but conservatives FAIL big time and are hypocrites into the bargain.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Boogers 0 #20 February 24, 2014 kallendI was waiting for a conservative to grumble about Obama doubling the debt, while conveniently *forgetting* that Reagan nearly tripled it... Just look at what's going on here, folks. Liberals agree it's bad when the national debt soars. Conservatives agree it's bad when the national debt soars. But instead of uniting in opposition against out-of-control federal spending, we just sit around and call each other names. Liberals point out how conservatives did it in the past, as if to excuse their own president who is doing it now. Conservatives did the same thing with their past presidents. Everyone makes excuses to protect "their man". So instead of actually DOING SOMETHING about the issue, we just sit around and fight amongst each other as to who is worse, and call each other names like "hypocrite". Meanwhile, no one seems to actually express outrage at the spending that is happening - they're too concerned about blaming the other guy for doing it first. So NOTHING gets done. And our country continues on its downward spiral towards bankruptcy, which will destroy our children's future... So let's get past this: Just because a former president for our side did it in the past, doesn't mean we have no right to protest against another current president who is still doing it. It's bad no matter who is doing it. Put the partisanship aside, and get on with solving the problem! I challenge someone to have the courage to say: "Yes, I support President Obama, but I think his government spending is out of control." Go ahead, I double-dog dare you. I now return this channel to its regularly scheduled bickering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
