MYFUCKINGDICK

You keep believing Republican lies and revisionist history. I didn't need to google when the great depression ended, because my grandparents grew up during that time and told me a long time ago that this claim that WW2 ended the great depression was a myth. Social studies class in middle school told me the same thing. The new deal ended the great depression in America. Wars do not end recessions or depressions. Look at the recession of the 70's. That was on the heals of the Vietnam war. Look at the near depression that Bush's wars got us into. You can't seriously be arguing with a straight face that wars end recessions, when we had a record surplus before Bush's wars and within a few years had a record deficit. You're off your rocker, but you're not stupid. Just admit that you're trolling at this point.

They move their factories over seas, they stay home and collect the money.

Bush/Cheney did hand that to them through tax cuts and deregulation. No sarcasm.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression "started in about 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s or early 1940s" The depression was pretty much over by the time we even entered WW2. We didn't just rebound all of a sudden the day Japan sank out ships at Pearl Harbor, it took years for our war manufacturing economy to get into full swing. It was Roosevelt's "New Deal" that ended the great depression.

Nobody's going to decide to move to another country based on tax rates. That's one of the most ridiculous myths ever spun, and I can't believe that there's people stupid enough to actually believe it.

"Give us tax breaks", "Give us cheap labor", "stop regulating us". Newsflash, Casek. Billionaires don't "work". They get other people to do that for them.

What have these couple of wars done for our economy? :rolleyes:

They are the top 2% of this country. When you look at the people who make over $250,000 a year, most of them are millionaires and billionaires. They are NOT the mom and pops. They are the Oprahs and Bill Gates.

*$250,000 a year. And nobody who makes over $250,000 a year is even going to be affected by going back to their previous tax rate, much less stop going to the movies and shopping at malls. Be real, those people don't even shop at malls or mix it with the peasants anyways. Stop trolling, Casek.

-VS- [ATTACH]147804.vB[/ATTACH] And FYI, the ONLY people getting their taxes increased are the rich. The other 98% of us already got our taxes lowered. Stop getting your info from Fox news.

We actually wrote into Germany's "constitution" that they were to have public healrthcare after we kicked their asses in WW2. We basically gave them what we refuse to give to ourselves, and they've been good ever since. Shit, when was the last time they even started a war since WW2???

Olive branch??? Nigga you gay. Period.

You the one who seems obsessed. And I haven't rocked Levis since elementary school.

^This nigga in the 3 piece is stylin on you and your metrosexual fag gear. I think you're mad at yourself.

If it wasn't for the stimulus and tarp, we'd be in a second great depression. Period. And the American Auto industry would be kaput. And then we would have never have had any of this awesomeness. [ATTACH]147795.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]147796.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]147797.vB[/ATTACH]

Sometimes that really is the only way to look at it in a time like this when so much is at stake for the future of our country.

Yeah. A lot of brainwashed, racist, redneck, Jerry Springer audience types who watch too much Fox news and have absolutely no grasp on reality whatsoever.

There is no collapse of Social Security. That's a Republican spun myth. Theo already covered that in this thread. And as for this ridiculous spending is concerned, I was saying the same shit when congress was granting Bush ridiculously unpayable amounts of money to go into Iraq on the basis of what I and most level headed people knew at that time to be a lie. But Bush did get us into this shit, and Obama did what he had to do to at least slow the roll into a second great depression. More needs to be done. What all needs to be done to fix the deficit, I don't know. But going back to taxing the rich is a damned good start. And cutting Social security, Medicare, THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. etc is not a good look at all.

Exactly. They rolled right over and let the Republicans steamroll us into two wars that caused this deficit and near depression. And the absolutely BIGGEST expansions on "big government" in the history of this country. But god forbid the Republicans lose their majority and a black man becomes president, then they wanna throw 2 year old style temper tantrums and absolutely refuse to go along with the dems on one single fucking thing. The Republicans got their shot for 8 fucking years, and they wore out their welcome and got voted the fuck out. Now they want back in???? FUCK OUTA HERE.

You do realize that that money is being thrown at fixing the problem that 8 years of Republicanism left us with, right? You do realize that without the tarp and bailout, that we'd be in a second great depression right now, right?

So you would rather cut your grandmoms Social Security checks that she payed into most of her life, than go back to taxing Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates what they used to be taxed? You wanna cut your Grandmoms Medicare too? You gonna put her up in your closet when she can't pay her rent and bury her in your back yard next to the family dog when she croaks? Or do you think Bill Gates or Oprah will foot the bill for her funeral with all that extra money from their tax breaks?

Dude, you have no idea what you're talking about. It's not "democratic gridlock, it's republican grid lock. The dems played ball with Bush. But when Obama and the dems tried to play ball with the Republican congress ever since Obama's election, the republicans straight up refused to compromise on anything at all. They resorted to making up a million fucking lies about Obama everything from him not being born in Hawaii, to him bing a socialist, to him being a Nazi, to him being a Muslim. These fucking assholes are straight retarded with the shit that they've been pulling ever since 2008, WTF makes you think it's going to be even less so when they get the majority? They're straight up promising to do everything that I've already stated from refusing to compromise on anything to actually shutting down the government in protest like they did in 1995. And it was the REPUBLICANS who caused the mounds of fucking debt. Jesus fucking christ. Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to explain to 7 year olds that clouds are not made of cotton candy, and the moon is not made of cheese. SMFH.

You're both fucking idiots.

I've never collected welfare in my life. Maybe you should get your heads out of your ass and stop getting high off the fumes of your own jenkum.

Unfortunately that's the only way anything can get done in this currant political environment. The dems tried to play bipartisan, the Republicans threw temper tantrums and straight out refused to compromise on anything. And now they're running on a promise to never compromise ever. John Bohner straight out said "this is not a time for compromise". So don't blame the dems for this atmosphere, blame it on the fucking douchebags who created it. Fox news and the Republican party.
