The IRS “refunded” over $4 Billion to identity thieves. This included checks sent to Ireland and Communist China. This is the agency our Dear Leader wants to collect “taxes” from you for not having health care insurance he approves of.
“Jarrett, an old Chicago friend of both Barack and Michelle Obama, appears to exercise such extraordinary influence she is sometimes quietly referred to as “Rasputin” on Capitol Hill, a reference to the mystical monk who held sway over Russia’s Czar Nicholas as he increasingly lost touch with reality during World War I.”
“Get border agents killed, get ambassadors killed, oversee disastrous healthcare rollout — those people get to keep their jobs. But calling Valerie Jarrett a “vacuous cipher?” That’s a firing offense.”
The current political posturing in D.C. is not over the federal budget. It’s over a ‘continuing resolution’ to fund the government for three months.
That is because the United States of America is entering its fifth fiscal year without an actual federal budget. An actual federal budget has not passed both houses of Congress and been signed by the President since George W. Bush was President.
The President is required by law to submit a budget to Congress every year. The person currently occupying the White House during his golf tour has done so. Those budgets have been received in a truly amazing display of bipartisanship and have failed to received a single vote from any member of congress of either party, and that includes the socialist who caucuses with the democrats. I think the best one of his budgets did was 0-97 in the Senate.
The House has submitted at least one budget, with bipartisan support every year, which Harry Reid has refused to bring to the floor for a vote. The Senate has produced one budget, within the last year, on a strict party line vote.
It is important to note that when the democrats controlled the White House and both houses of Congress, they failed in their primary duty of producing a federal budget. It is not because they tried and failed, they just didn’t even try.
So it is clear that having a federal budget, that receives a close examination, and is open to debate and review by the public is not something that the democrats want. Which raises the question of why they don’t want the transparency that an actual federal budget would bring.
Kudos to CSPAN and YouTube, which brings us the words of Senate democrat “leader” Harry Reid from 2006.
Yup, Harry Reid is calling raising the federal limit to $ 9 trillion is the last thing we should do, because it will weaken the country, and hurt the economy.
Was Harry Reid telling the truth or engaging in hyper-partisan political demagoguery because there was a Republican in the White House at the time. Given his record, if Harry Reid was telling the truth, it was purely by accident.
A friend of mine recently asked me about the “Republican’s political suicide.” I’m betting he heard that from his moonbat ex-wife.
A quick Google search of “republican political suicide” shows all the buzz is coming from the extreme wacko left. Mother Jones News, Andrew Sullivan and far left wing extremists columnists in the Washington Post.
Sounds more like wishful thinking than thoughtful political analysis.
Those left wing extremists are fear mongering because they are so scared they are soiling their linens.
What is happening with the minority party standing up to the Imperial Obama Presidency, is that they are firing up their base. Something they have been really, really bad at for the past few elections. Obama won on low Republican/Conservative base voter turnout, while he was firing up his base hotter than the Devil’s Wedding Tackle.
The democrats have a real problem in 2016, and that is Obama. He has turned the Presidency into his personal brand, not the brand of the democrat party.
Biden is an idiot, Hillary is seen as damaged goods, and is already being attacked by democrats and news organizations run for the advancement of the democrat party.
So who are they going to run?
Add to the left’s fear multiple conservative members of Congress who are extremely popular with their base. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, etc. Don’t forget former Rep and Ret. Lt. Colonel Allan West. A conservative that the left singled out for attack based on the democrats’ racist policies.
First off, there hasn’t been a federal budget passed since George W. Bush was President. Second, she’s an idiot. Let’s start a short list of stuff and can be easily cut and will benefit the American taxpayer.
The $2.2 billion Obamaphone program
Supplying arms and funding to known terrorist groups in Syria
The Department of Education
Obamacare
Fraud and Waste in the federal food stamps program
What isn’t “phony” about the Obama economy is “Slow GDP growth, lagging job creation, constricted free markets, ballooning deficits and debt, growing and counterproductive regulation, crippling taxation, and the penalization of small business…”
Forbes reports that the German Green Energy Bluster Running Out Of Wind. It seems that unreliable wind produced energy can’t compete without massive government subsidies. Combine that with their policy of shutting down carbon neutral nuclear power plants that deliver steady energy at a lower cost than the very expensive wind turbines, and you have rapidly rising energy costs and cold German winter on the way.
No surprise here, but Hillary Rodham Clinton is throwing Tony Weiner under the bus for his sex scandal. Mentioning her husband’s sex scandals would be in bad taste, so ya, he had a lot of them. HRC responded to those by attacking the women who dared bring up her husband’s sexual harassment. Yup, if it wasn’t for double standards, democrats would have no standards.
