GOP threatens to do real damage to country
“One day after being named to a presidential task force to negotiate deficit reduction, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor fired off a stark warning to Democrats that the GOP “will not grant their request for a debt limit increase” without major spending cuts or budget process reforms.
The Virginia Republican’s missive is a clear escalation in the long-running Washington spending war, with no less than the full faith and credit of the United States hanging in the balance….
People close to Cantor say that he hopes to make clear that small concessions from Democrats, including President Barack Obama, will not be enough to deliver the GOP on a debt increase.”
Great. Take the national economy hostage, stick a loaded pistol to its temple and threaten to pull the trigger unless you get your way. This is what we’ve come to. This is “leadership” and “statesmanship” in the modern American era. Cantor and his colleagues are trying to convince us that they really are childish, stupid and destructive enough to bring the country down to its knees if their demands aren’t fully satisfied.
I cannot imagine leaders of any other era, of any party or ideology, threatening to do severe long-term damage to the country as a means of winning a political argument, at least not since the years leading up to the Civil War. It would have been inconceivable to previous generations, and I can think of no historical parallel to it. Ronald Reagan, for example, would be appalled by the extremist tactics of those who claim to honor him.
Oh, and as to compromise? As Cantor said last week, “We can’t raise taxes. That was settled last November during the elections.”

Mick — “Try buying a cadillac in japan, the tariff is so high it’s almost impossible, they protect their self interests, something we need to get back to…”
Frankly, I wouldn’t have a Caddy over there. It’d be hard to drive on some roads, and parking spaces you could fit into would be few and far between. Not to mention the price of gas.
The Japanese are nice people, but if you insist on living an American lifestyle over there, you’ll quickly find your wallet getting sucked dry at an alarming rate. Best to develop a taste for rice, noodles and fish, and to either buy a smaller car or figure out their transit system.

The point is, they now have more options than we can count……….and the genie isn’t going back in the bottle…….so deal with it.
As I said…… during my union days I was well aware that I was overpaid……enjoyed every minute of it…….but in the end, I would have preferred a 50% pay cut to what we ended up with….which was a 100% pay cut.

md – “when americans decide to pay more for goods is the day industries will make it here………..until then, don’t count on it.”
I’ve been saying that for years. Insrtead of bitching about taxes, why aren’t all these patriotic Americans turning out en masse to support higher prices for goods if it will return the manufacturing sector to the U.S.?
Here’s a two fold dose of reality :
1. If you shop at Wal Mart, you are your own worst enemy in terms of jobs coming back to the U.S.
2. If you shop at Wal Mart, you’re most likely NOT in the tax bracket that would be affected by any increase in taxes anyway, so stop complaining.

Left wing management

Jay, I have to say I think that much of the blame for this situation lies at the feet of Obama. Why? Precisely for failing to grasp the radicalness of the moment that was his. The irony of the man who evoked the “urgency of the now” is that of all the many things he
Secondly, it’s frequently said – and has become now almost a mantra on the left – that Obama has a problem with negotiating, that he has a negotiation problem. But I think this conflates two separate things: messaging and negotiating. What Obama seems at times to be so poor at is recognizing the way that messaging is central to governing. As the right wing understands perfectly well, control of the frame in which issues are defined is everything ultimately. So messaging is not a separate thing, an add-on to policy making, it’s actually a central part of it. The classic example of this was the way Obama allowed his hand to be forced in Dec. to extend the Bush tax cuts. This was the perfect opportunity to draw a line in the sand and force the GOP’s hand, but he failed to do it because in effect he didn’t have the stomach for the kind of fight it would have entailed.

Jay states the federal tax load is the lowest in a decade, and I think he is correct. But what gets left out of this discussion is the total tax burden. State, local, sales, SPLOTS have all gone up, so the total tax burden is excessive. What is the sales tax in Chicago now…..10%, but according to Democrats those taxes don’t count. Rent a car lately? the total tax burden is anywhere from 30 up to 45% in some cities. And it goes on and on.

Why didn’t congress pass a budget when the Democrats were in control? This is all political posturing.

We traded our Tahoe in for a smaller wagon three years ago. I just got tired of the cost to fuel, insure and maintain it. It was nice to have it when we needed it, but I can rent a U-Haul for $20 a day when I need something with cargo capacity.
Some of the streets in South Korea would be terribly tight even for a midsize or compact car. An SUV wouldn’t even be able to get within hollerin’ distance of some parts of cities there. Japan’s not as bad, and the drivers are better, but I still don’t see how you could manage with an SUV from what I’ve seen of Japan.

Yes I have purchased both food and gas. Both have gone up significantly in price. What is your point?
The price of oil is at a record high. The Chinese and Indian economies are booming and are consuming an increasing percentage of the world’s oil. While there is plenty of supply, the fact that we are at or near peak oil is in part driving prices. The uprisings throughout the Middle East including Libya are another factor. Libyan output is only about 2% of global production so they are statistically insignificant. But the fact there is unrest places the sources of oil like Saudia Arabia and Bahrain into question.
Drill baby drill will do nothing, zero, zippo to reduce the price of gas in this country. Canada is the largest exporter of oil to the U.S. The price of gasoline in Canada has increased 35% in a year. That is the free market at work. So even if we increased domestic production, it will be statistically insignificant in a global market. U.S. oil will go to the global market and priced accordingly. There will be no reduction in price unless we nationalize the oil companies and keep all domestic production for domestic consumption and centrally manage the price. That is not free enterprise. There would be nothing more than a slight impact to the U.S. trade deficit.
Then there is the factor of speculation in the market. The last Congress tried to address speculation but were stopped by Senate Republicans.
Food prices are going up, in large part, because of the increase in the price of oil.
But I don’t know exactly what you would have the President do. Increasing domestic production will have little to no real impact on price or the trade deficit. Only by weaning ourselves off of imported oil through conservation, the move to renewable energy and broad adoption of natural gas will we reduce what we pay for transportation which is the main use of our imported oil.
That might also reduce demand for oil which might, might, have a downward impact on price which would reduce the cost of fertilizers, etc. needed to grow and produce food.

Obama’s lack of leadership, inability to listen, and arrogance have forced the GOP to threaten extreme measures to get his attention. Ryan introduced a proposal to address the budget deficit and the response America got was partisan political name calling. What happened to the 2008 Obama who said there are no Red states or Blue states? The head of the nonpartisan CBO is quoted in the Princeton alumni magazine saying that there is no doubt that underlying structural factors affecting the budget deficit are adverse under current adminstration policy. Obama’s former CBO chief Peter Orszag is quoted in the same article saying that we are on an unsustainable path and it is not clear how we get off without suffering severe injury. No wonder he resigned. Fortunately, Gallup just released their latest data on Obama’s approval ratings. Only 35% of independents currently support Obama versus a 52% approval rating in 2008. Independents recognize that Obama is responsible for his actions since being in office and that he has no concrete ideas for solving our problems moving forward. He is still trying to make popular sound bites during campaign speaches like “taxing the rich” and “evil corporations.” There is little to no substance in any of his comments.

mm, Cheney’s comment was actually 7 years ago, and to be somewhat fair to the shape shifting lizard-man, he was speaking of the political impact of deficit spending.
I keep hearing that, but The Weakly Standard only devotes three sentences to the notion that comment was political in nature, and AmSpec doesn’t even mention it at all.

UGA1999 — “Joe Mama….you are right compared to Obama…McCain is the craziest politician!!”
Well, he *did* say during the campaign that he ‘knew how to get bin Laden.’ Was he only going to tell us how if he got elected, or did he share his insight with our military and his method just didn’t work? Inquiring minds want to know.
“Haha you guys are a real hoot!!”
Who are “you guys?” Firearm-owning college-educated disabled veteran former Republicans who were raised up in the Deep South? ‘Cause that’s who I am.

Google President Obama’s accomplishments to see he deserves a second term.
Google his failures and see what you get.

Joe Mama…..He has already told us how to get Bin Laden but Obama refused to do what is needed to get him.
