1. K&R so that we all remember this.

[HughBeaumont]

2. K & R for later.

Work firewalls, and all that . . .

[treestar]

3. K&R

Republicans are responsible for the debt. It's about time they took some responsibility. Like they are always saying others should.

[Freddie Stubbs]

4. The 'Bush' Tax cuts ended last year

President Obama and the Democratic controlled Congress extended them.

[Kingofalldems]

5. Looks like a big FAIL.

[Freddie Stubbs]

6. How so?

[Kingofalldems]

7. Post was about 3 debt drivers

You chose to focus on 'Democrats did it too', as per usual. Non responsive diversion.

[Freddie Stubbs]

8. I just wanted to make sure that President Obama and congressional Democrats got credit for

the tax cut that they extended. You don't think that they should get credit where credit is due?

16. Sometimes the truth is hard to accept for some people.

34. Al Franken should be ashamed of himself

Voting for these tax cuts after years of decrying them on his radio show. Same goes for the "free" trade bill.

[rhett o rick]

18. You need to provide more explaination. The three debt drivers were all continued by

our current President. Do you disagree? Maybe Iraq isnt a war, but it is still a debt driver.

38. Stop it, ouch, you're hurting Obama

with facts!

39. Well, there's that

[truedelphi]

9. Huh? THe whole MediCare giveaway to the Big

Pharma people could have been Cleaned up by the new sheriff, or uh, new Administration.

But instead, Obama had Rahm meeting the Big Pharma executives down the street from the WH (When not outright meeting them in the WH) and helping Big Pharma have even more profits by letting them write the scam of a health care "reform" bill.

And now, Obama's DOJ is making sure that no one with MS, cancer muscle spasm ailments or other problems will have medical marijuana, but instead pay through the nose to Big Pharma. Even though the DOJ actions are in defiance of the states' rights issue.

[ooglymoogly]

11. And when both house and senate said they had the votes to pass

single payer, the puppet said hey wait a minute, I got something better that me and the pharma cartels have worked out in the back room. The senate and house can say yes all they want, but Pharma say's absolutely not and I have the campaign contributions to prove it.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

27. What is the matter with these people?

Go back to the bad old days? Is that a joke? Hey, you forgot to throw in "Bush had too many Wall Street folks in his administration."

[truedelphi]

41. One thing I keep thinking of, when I think of how

Obama can go over and be part of the G 8 meetings in Europe or Canada - **

In Chicago, under Jane Byrne, we had ourselves a mayor who actually went and lived in the projects to see what life there was like.

Why cannot Obama show up at an Occupy? Or send some young person he trusts in to do it for him.

Why can't he become aware of the fact that we the people understand how we have been conned for thirty years, under "D" and "R" Administrations both?

I watch the drama "Boss' and when the mayor is speaking of the gawkers on the sidelines and how they don't count, I think of Rahm Emauel and how he called us retards.

Ya know something? It is time that we do count, and that we the people are no longer considered a mere inconvenience to the PTB.

**These meetings are actually illegal under the Constitution - as no government official is supposed to be part of a body of foreign governments that sets and determines policies for our nation. Congress is supposed to rule us - not the damn G 8.

10. Short, sweet, succinct

Perfect response.

[ooglymoogly]

12. Agreed; strip it to the bones and scream it over and over and over

and over like a broken record. Write songs, write books, write poems, but keep it to these bare bones.

[lonestarnot]

13. K & R!

[City Lights]

14. K&R.

That will come in handy...thanks!

[sarcasmo]

15. To bad that is to big for a bumper sticker.

[spanone]

17. k&r...

[rhett o rick]

19. Havent all three of these continued todate? nm

[alp227]

21. but but but...what about welfare bums, public employees, and illegal aliens?

Those fools feel SO entitled to OUR money that they just take it for nothing! :sarcasm:

But great graphic!

[Major Hogwash]

22. I wonder if anyone misses that billboard of Bush with the saying of "Miss me yet?"

Bush was such a lowlife cocksu*king piece of shit, it wasn't even funny.

[12AngryBorneoWildmen]

29. Too flowery.

[Enthusiast]

24. K&R

This needs to be spread far and wide.

All we hear in the media is Republicans declaring that Obama's spending is directly responsible for the debt. Many of us have criticized President Obama but we do not need to make shit up like the party of liars.

[fasttense]

25. I think you missed on number 3

Yes the Big Pharma scam is costing us but I think this 2nd RepubliCON Great Depression is costing us even more.

With all the millions of people out of jobs and millions more falling into poverty, they are unable to pay the amount of taxes they use to. If we were to get out of this economic downturn, we would have a chance of reducing our deficit simply by getting the taxes from the working class that we use to get. States are suffering because the people can't pay taxes like they use to.

Solve the economic downturn, stop the wars and eliminate the bush tax give aways to the uber rich, and you will have pretty much solved the deficit problem. Our country is not broke, it's merely misdirecting its assets.

26. all 3 heartily endorsed by dem party at the time and continued by current admin.

[pam4water]

28. So true K&R

[Edweird]

32. Ok, *THAT* is 'trolling' - not the poster whom I agree with regularly or even this OP.

But the image posted is, in fact a troll. I give it a 6/10.

[russspeakeasy]

33. Love it, thanks.

[Doctor_J]

35. This would be more powerful if all of them hadn't been continued by

the president. Sadly, Wall Street, the MIC, and Big Pharma/Big Insurance run the country.

[Charlemagne]

36. Giving my lecture on Economic Policy tonight at the Community College

Every one of these points (and more) will be mentioned.

The community college is in Orangina's (Boehners) district. I feel for these kids. They have nothing. Ive had students who were functionally illiterate. Ive had students who were young single mothers and single fathers. Ive had veterans who, at 19, have seen and done things that would any of us queasy.

I get one shot to help these kids see that they are being used, manipulated by the system. I get one class a week to try and change the world. I get so emotional. I get angry (not at the kids, at the system). After I give the lecture I wonder if my words resonated...or if there was some sentence, some chart, some something that I left out which would open their eyes. Or, were they daydreaming. Will it all be washed away when they hear Sean Hannity next?

These are good, good kids. But they vote republican because that's what mom and dad do. That's what fox news told them to do while they showed an American flag and an image of 9/11. That's what they must do because voting based on some trivial social issue should trump their ability to feed and clothe themselves.

I know I shouldnt but I fucking hate the liar asshole Republicans. They manipulate people and use religion to make the rich richer. Everything they do is for that end and that end alone. If I reach one student, then Sean Hannity can go fly a fucking kite.

[pscot]

40. Great rant

And welcome to DU.

[texshelters]

37. You have to be

as stupid as a Republican not to understand this.

Peace,
