He is. He uses Wisconsin to illustrate the Republican plan. While the US has been gaining jobs Wisconsin has been shedding them. Nice of Governor Walker to demonstrate the Republican austerity plan and its ability to create jobs........or not. |

Yes, the Republican double dip. Obama said we needed more stimulus. The Republicans said no. Kind of shows that electing Republicans in November will allow the US to follow Wisconsin. |

I still am waiting to see some jobs in my town. The last of four manufacturing plants is closing in July. So, President Obama, where are those 60,000 jobs???

Yeah. Your idea of economic growth is do-nothing "jobs for the boys" on the back of the taxpayer. Wisconsin is a model for the house-cleaning we need done in Washington to slash back the federal beast - and a how desperately the political class parasites there will fight it. |

Why not? That's where all the other jobs went. |

You're right that Obama has been a failure to the American people, but you should do your homework before giving your vote to Romney. They are owned by the very same people and have the very same agenda. Ron Paul is in favor of fiscal responsibility, against perpetual war, in favor of the Constitution, and a champion of Liberty. Before you write him off as unelectable, consider... If everyone who believes in Liberty but doesn't think Paul can win... votes for him......... he will win. America CAN win. America WILL win, its just a matter of how we'll win. If Obama or Romney win the election, We The People will probably have to do it ourselves... the old fashioned way. And we will. But I hope we can avoid that by exercising some common sense and electing a true patriot like Dr. Paul. |

Now I get it... you're a liberal parody poster. No one who is serious would blame the economic situation on those who refused to back the failed policy that has kept us in peril. I apologize for cringing at your posts, I should have been laughing. |

I have much sympathy with Dr. Paul's politics, as I think you know. However, as a purely pragmatic matter I cannot support your suggested course of action. Certainly, I hope to see the Paul forces exert maximum leverage on the GOP convention and hopefully secure every concessions they can from the Party and the Romney campaign in the way of platform planks and positions in the future Romney admnistration that WILL take office next January, etc. I hope other true fiscal and constitutional conservative forces like the TEA Party can as well. But I think that's the best we can hope for. Ironically, the leverage the Paul people have to exert on the GOP and the Romney camp springs from the same political reality that makes it impossible for me to vote for him. Up until the closing gavel of the GOP Convention, I'm perfectly happy to act the total Paul-bot to press the kind of fiscal and constitutional conservative agenda the nation needs, to the max. But after that point, my vote goes to Romney as the GOP nominee, for the simple and harsh reality that A VOTE FOR RON PAUL IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA. And a second Obama term, as far as I'm concerned, would be an unmitigated national disaster. The Obama campign knows this very well, and the BOBOns can be counted on to serve as Ron Paul's biggest and most vocal fan club (covertly, of course). The BOBOns completely wet themselves with ecstasy at the mere thought of Ron Paul running as an independent. Again, though - don't take this wrongly - I completely agree with you in all save means. You say, " ... its just a matter of how we'll win. If Obama or Romney win the election, We The People will probably have to do it ourselves ... the old fashioned way. And we will. But I hope we can avoid that." I agree - but I've already moved beyond this, recognizing the pooch is already well and truly screwed, and yes, We The People ARE going to have to do it ourselves ... the old fashioned way. Ron Paul's campaign, the rise of the TEA Party, etc. are just preliminary skirmishes in what is going to be a long, long battle to wrest America back out of the grip of the professional political classes in Washington who have hijacked the federal government. We need to take the long view. It means we're going to have to start a quiet revolution, STARTING with getting involved hands-on at the LOCAL level, taking over local GOP party committees and the apparatus of party power, then moving to change the party's course at the State and then National levels. It's happened before the same way - we can make it happen again. Can I get a HOOH? |

While not performing as well as hoped, the stimulus did serve to keep us out of a depression when combined with TARP. No one has proven anything different. We can point to Europe in following Paul's policies and how well they are doing vs. China which used a much larger stimulus than the US did. Now I will add that our biggest problem in dealing with this has been the debt accrued by bush from 2003 to 2008. Had bush and the Republicans stayed on the track that Clinton laid they would have paid down some of that debt so that in late 2008 (when TARP became necessary) we would have been only about $4 Tril or less in debt. |

Why spending must be cut and taxes must be raised: "Bowles, a Democrat, then laid on the crowd some pretty simple, but devastating, arithmetic. He explained that 100 percent of the tax revenue that entered the Treasury in 2011 went out the door to pay for mandatory spending -- such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security -- and to pay the interest on our staggering $15.6 trillion national debt." http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-04-29/u-s-... |

Yeah, we've plowed all this ground under already: 1) Liquidate SSI altogether and end the program. Replace with private retirement insurance/funds 2) Get the federal government out of the welfare and medical insurance business. Repeal ObamaScare. End Medicaid/Medicare, and turn it bac over to the States and prvate insurors, where it belongs. |
Well, it appears to me that you are a young person with employer provided healthcare and retirement benefits. If Social Security and Medicare are to be ended, they would have to be "unwoven" carefully in the same manner that they were implemented in the first place. Or do you just want all old people to die of starvation and lack of healthcare? My husband just did die because Medicare only pays about five percent of what hospitals bill, so they quite often push old people out before they are healthy enough to leave. I agree something must be done, but why is it always the old people who are asked to pay when we have worked hard all our lives for what we have. |
