All politically uneducated entitlement program people. They are clueless. Obama is to blame, look at how the deficit has increased under Obama's regime. He needs to be impeached, the notorious liar that he is. Anyone who voted for him are fools and need to listen to fair and balanced reporting, not the Lamestream media.

Soon to be twenty trillion dollars in debt to China, and there is no spending problem.

Aren't you glad we brought African slaves to this great country, so that our culture and our government could be enriched by their belief in welfare and anything they can get for free from the Federal Damned Government?

Before you call me racist, stop and think for a moment. My first choice for President in the most recent election was Colonel Allen West. My second choice was Herman Cain. BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BRAIN!

99 per cent of the black population of America, are just like what you just finished watching. If watching that did not make you sick, I don't know what would.

From our Scooper friend BetseyRoss: Ted Cruz files bill to repeal Obamacare! http://ht.ly/hf6KO He's joined by 32 other GOP co-sponsors. I'll see if I can find the list. Michele Bachmann's House bill has 17 co-sponsors.

Ted Cruz scores again, invites Chicago banks to leave because of Rahmmer and move to Texas! "“Both of your companies do considerable business in the City of Chicago, and you may be understandably concerned that there are risks to refusing to comply with the demands of a politician who has earned the nickname, ‘The Godfather,’” Cruz said of Emanuel, whom he also sent a copy of the letter....

In his letter, Cruz also addressed the leaders of the firearm manufacturers Smith & Weston and Sturm, Ruger & Co. “It is unfortunate that ambitious politicians would try to impose financial harm or even drive your companies out of business in order to further their own political agendas,” he wrote. “Should Mayor Emanuel’s bullying campaign prove successful, I am confident that there are numerous financial institutions in Texas that would be eager to earn your business,” Cruz wrote.

Hearing on Holder contempt in Fast and Furious on hold for two months at House request so they can "Make a Deal". Whatever Issa, yet another Obama appt gets away with serious crimes. http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2013/01/house-holder-may-near-deal-on-fast-and-furious-contempt-155525.html

Deal on the contempt re: withheld docs, but who knows that the deal really will be. There have been no subsequent F&F hearings....crickets....and none by Oversight on Benghazi either.

I AGREE! I sent a snarky tweet to Issa asking WTH!

Nukeman60
Nukeman60

Yeah, my whole point is there shouldn't be any deal at all, except the one where Holder hands over the documents to the judge that were supposedly used as the source of the Deliberative Process Privilege.

They violate the whole process if they swing any other kind of deal and therefore, Issa would have sold out.

Nukeman60

The civil case I was talking about was the Congressional one. When Congress voted to find Holder in contempt, there were two charges, the criminal and the civil.

The criminal charge, of course went nowhere, because it was Holder's office that was to prosecute and they naturally chose not to. The civil case however, goes to a circuit court and that's where the so-called "Executive Privilege" documents were supposed to be revealed to the judge to see if they were actually allowed to use them.

Here's a long, drawn out review of the "Deliberative Process Privilege", which Holder and Obama were using as cover (not the Presidential Communication Privilege that Obama declared they invoked)

Yeah well we'll have to see what "deal" they make. I think it has quietly slipped under the rug and the Terry and Zapata families are on their own with their separate civil cases.

Nukeman60
Nukeman60

If they are still actually continuing the case (and not just bloviating), the civil case demands that Holder give up the documents that they declare under "Executive Privilege" so the court can decide for themselves whether they can or not.

The criminal case, of course, is done. Issa should have submitted the case to civil court and the "dealing" with Holder would have nothing to do with it. Definitely sounds like we're being taken again.

Wild Bill nails it. What Obama truly sees as his place in history.

Everyone in DC and all the elites and governments of the world HAVE to know this. The stakes could not be higher, yet no one dares say it.

When Obama said he didn't think there was a spending problem it made a lot of heallines and a lot of conversations about how out of touch he must be if he believes that. He is not ignorant to the economic problems he just views them differently.

The real problem lies in not in what he said but what he didn't say. While he was saying there is no spending problem what he meant was that there was a taxing problem, that there needs to be more taxes collected so that there can be more spending done. This ia what he truly believes is at the root of our problems.

My answer to Maobama is this,"Write a fukcing budget to show me how that money will be spent in advance and THEN we can discuss raising taxes. No budget, DH, no more money."

the budget must not include the 09 stimulus that has been in every continuous resolution.

MiketheMarine

Yeah, well continuing resolutions are truly as legal as the senate not passing a budget. It may takes bullets to fix our federal government. There are repercussions to violating the law and since no one else is enforcing them, It's time for state militias to take over.

Obama is spending the nation into bankruptcy, people don't see it and when the freebies stop they'll wonder why. It's amazing how many lack common sense.

Which is why my plan B is to just let the system crash as soon as possible. When SS checks, medicare checks, welfare checks and food stamp cards all bounce we can get with repairing this mess.

Well that dumb blond Senator from Louisiana (Dimcrat of course) says today that the only spending problem is with Fox. My family in LA will vote against her and I hope she loses big time.

Please watch this. It was made when the debt was $8.7 trillion. Today it is $16.5 trillion.

The main problem is entitlements. Nothing has been done to address the problem. The longer we wait, the harder it will be. This problem has absolutely nothing to do with race. The repercussions will hurt all of our children, regardless of race. It has to do with living within our means.

Obama won the election, so he raised taxes on the "wealthy". Fair enough, but it really didn't go very far in solving the problem. $650 billion over 10 years pales in the face of annual deficits in the neighborhood of $1.3 trillion.
