You simpleton's have a hard time with the FACT that I don't give a shit what you think ('cause most of you don't, anyhow, think that is). I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You're all about twelve years old so discussion and debate are impossible. I'll just post the facts (and point out the Republican lies) and you just go ahead and do whatever. So go back to your cell leader and report in. Have a fun.

We all know that you aren't telling the truth. Even the hard-line liberals know that you are a liar. Name-calling doesn't make up for that. How do you justify posting falsehoods over and over again?

Like I said I don't give a shit whether you believe me or not. Continue to believe what you're told to believe and continue to not look up anything. And continue to run to fox for all your answers. I don't care. Out.

The only name I called you was a liar, because YOU OBVIOUSLY LIED about where your numbers were from. I have repeatedly asked you to tell me where your numbers are actually from, since they are most certainly NOT FROM the Medicare Trustees Report... and your response has only been to call me a "right wing flat-earther" ... because I won't accept your lies. Again, where did you get your data from?

No, really, it's a fact: HMO Overhead vs Medicare, 2011: Aetna = 22.1% Humana = 18.3 WellPoint = 17.9% United Healthcare = 18.6% Cigna = 22.7% Medicare = 1.3% Just like, Ratio of pay CEO vs Average Worker: Japan 11:1 Germany 12:1 France 15:1 Italy 20:1 Canada 20:1 South Africa 21:1 Britain 22:1 Mexico 47:1 Venezuela 50:1 United States 475:1 Just like, Presidential Vacation Days: Through August 30th of third year of first term. Obama = 70 days Bush = 225 days Just like, The last 3 Republican administrations have added 9,515,990,000,000 to the National Debt. Just like, Ronald Reagun tripled the National Debt George W. Bush doubled the National Debt Federal taxes are now at a 60 year low Bush tax cuts didn't pay for themselves or spur "Job Creators" $3 trillion tab for Bush un-funded wars remain unpaid

David Stockman, former director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan points to massive failures by Republicans, while they were in power, to assure that financial accounts were balanced in government, international trade, on the ledgers of central banks and in the affairs of private businesses and households.
He points to a list of misguided Republican actions that have led the country to economic disaster:
the runaway growth of public debt resulting "not from big spending by the Democrats, but instead the Republican Party's embrace ... of the insidious doctrine that deficits don't matter if they result from tax cuts,"
the neocon's sky-high inflation of the military budget,
the "warfare state,"
the removal of traditional restrictions on leverage and speculation by the financial sector which led to a "vast, unproductive expansion of our financial sector,"
and the steady sending of jobs and production offshore. Stockman charges that Republicans have strayed so far from their ideological roots that they have "made a mockery of party ideals" and led the country into adopting policies that crippled the economy.
Don't get all stressed, I didn't say it, Ronnie's director of the Office of Management and Budget, did.

Stockman is essentially correct - although most of the partisan bullshyt you put in his mouth is coming out of your own partisan hack azz. Here's a more accurate picture of Stockman's current view, sans the Chimera/joe partisan hack bullshyt: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505125_162-573894... Makes it even more amazing and sad at the same time that the current mob in power has managed to do even worse.

Politics as usual wrote: <quoted text> you are counting too much on the corrupt mainstream media. this is their point of view, my point of view is very simple, Obama and the democrats had control of the executive branch and both branches of congress including a filibuster proof majority in the senate. they used that control to pass one of the most despised pieces of legislation in generations, obamacare with dirty backroom deals and reconciliation, they also passed the almost trillion dollar payoff to their supporters disguised as stimulus. as a result the people elected the republicans in a landslide election to stop the democrats agenda, and the republicans have done that, by stopping Obama and the democrats from more payoffs and kickbacks they have done exactly what the people elected them to do. the republicans also made many proposals, all of which were stopped by the democrats. now we are faced with continued bad economic times and high unemployment as a result of the stimulus/payoff, and the pending obamacare. thanks to the supreme court, the people will again take action in 2012 and vote in more republicans and a republican president to repeal obamacare and reverse the economic tide. i am sure that the democrats will try to stop the this agenda, but if they succeed it will only mean another republican victory in 2014. you see despite what you read in the corrupt mainstream media, the people want obamacare repealed, and they are tired of the kickbacks and payoffs that Obama and the democrat party are all about. and until obamacare is reversed and the kickbacks stop, they will continue to vote out democrats, until they heed the message of the people. Interesting view of the healthcare legistlation. Not supported by fact, but supported by some distorted surveys. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-11/repe... If you and the mainstream media are correct, the Republicans should have no problem at all expanding seats in the House, gaining control of the Senate and winning the Presidency. Now if the Republicans fail to do those things what does it say about them? All of a sudden the mainsteam media are telling us that the Republicans screwed up and put an activist court in at SCOTUS: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-11/repu... Gee, imagine that. They lose a ruling so of course it is the court and not themselves that is not following the Constitution. Why don't you learn something from history about how the government takes over your private life. More lessons from the Mainstream media: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-10/heal... Of course, you won't find the Patriot Act or the fact that police have been routinely violating your rights by tracing your cell phone without a court order will you. FOX has news about it all the time, don't they?

Fair cop on the US stirring up post-war uprisings against Saddam and then breaking faith by failing to back the Kurdish and southern rebels up, instead standing by and watching as Saddam brutally wiped them out. Bad rap on the no-fly zone, however. Your beef is properly with the UN and the Coalition, not with Bush 41, certainly in the South. You conveniently ignore the fact that the US was there only as part of a Coalition of nations acting under authority of U.N. Security Council resolution 678. The Coalition negotiated and signed a ceasefire agreement with the Iraqi regime, as part of which Iraq was explicitly approved to fly armed helicopters on their side of the temporary border, ostensibly for government transit due to the damage done to civilian infrastructure. This was not a unilateral US deal. You are wrong to suggest it was Bush 41's doing. I see, so Bush placed US Forces under the control of the UN. Right? Bush made the promise, not the UN. And Bush renigged, not the UN.

And he understood the solution to a recession was not more government but more capitalism. Inflation dropped from 13.5% in 1980 to 4.1% in 1988. Interest rates fell from 18% in 1981 to 8% in 1987. Unemployment went from nearly 10% during Reagan’s first year to 5.5% when he left office. The Reagan economic plan created millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in wealth. Interesting. Did you see how much Reagan "grew" government? Typical politician telling his loyalists what they want to hear while doing the opposite. Perfect chance to get government out of the way: Did he privatize Air Traffic Control? Inflation started under Nixon, carried on through Ford and Carter. High interest rates stopped inflation. Who controlled the interest rates: Volker or Reagan? Reagan cut taxes and we went into recession. Reagan raised taxes and we came out of recession. ON THE OTHER HAND: Oil prices started the 70's economy and oil prices ended it along with Volker and the interest rates. We don't have regulation because there were no problems, we have regulation because problems were there. Do you think the "socialist" Canadians or the "free market" Americans have a stronger banking system? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-11/cana... One of the biggest problems we have in America is that the people have been sold a bill of goods with the thought that a corporations only job is generate profit.

NOTE: The 80's through most of the 90's were pretty good years. But to lay all the credit at Reagan's feet is a little bit much. You can not lay credit at Reagan's feet without laying blame at bush's feet for the economic debacle. You can't lay credit for the fall of the USSR at Reagans feet without laying the blame of 9-11 at bush's feet. The economy and large events works in terms of years. We will see a good economy again. Just like we did after WWII (pent up demand and private savings from the depression and rationing in WW II.), and just like we did in the 80's and 90's when there was pent up demand from late 60's through the 70's.

Same thing goes for Executive pay vs. worker pay. The multiple has increased greatly over the years. And we seem to get pretty sorry corporate leadership out of them.
