Bend over and brace yourself.

Federal tax revenue dropped 34% since last year.

Jim Rogers: Food Prices Will Skyrocket
Obama: “Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”
“whatever...

the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.”

Good ideas for government spending:
Giving thousands of dollars to a woman who has been dead for 20 years.
Millions to repair a bridge (in good condition) that will be destroyed to rebuild a new one.
Billions on projects that should be the states responsibility.
Thousands of dollars to control the deer population (here is an idea, get the hunters, they will do it for free)

So here is the question:
If you democrats seriously care about the unemployed Americans, then how can you support this president who is going to hurt them even more? You claim to be the party of the American people, if this is true then how can you justify hurting them even more by value added tax? THEY HAVE NO MORE MONEY LEFT TO GIVE!

The VAT is coming...Value Added Tax, to pay for the huge spending... then it will really be 'Bend Over America' !! - Know the difference between Obama and God ??...God doesn't believe he's Obama !!

lol, yes, a 2-3% increase is going to just destroy people...

Wow, you 2-3% increase on a family that makes 0 dollars will allow them to buy 0 food.

Lol, ok, lets see, if you're on food stamps (I.e. not earning any money), well you're probably not paying taxes, as for everyone else, lets see...

20,000 = $400
30,000 = $600
40,000 = $800

hmm no I dont see that as destroying people, sorry... and if you earn more than that, well deal with it...

I am sorry, I didn't realize you are a little slow. Let me run it down for you again. The government needs to make money in order to spend money. Food stamps costs the governemnt money. How will the government afford all this spending if they are making much MUCH less then the Bush admin.?

***I didn't realize you are a little slow

tseirpeht, careful, careful...
your christian faith and love is showing...

Jesus loves me this I know...
for his follower says I'm slow...
I will rot in hell you say...
Christ says love but you hate gays...

chorus...
yes, Jesus loves me (but only if I am a conservative fundamentalist christian)
yes, Jesus loves me (but only if I am a conservative fundamentalist christian)
yes, Jesus loves me (but only if I am a conservative fundamentalist christian)

for a hateful, judgmental conservative fundamentalist says it's so...

No Yeshua loves everyone, even gays. I have never said otherwise. But as I have said repentance is the way. Heaven turns liberals into conservatives:P

But yes you are right Utopia, I should watch myself.
I am sorry ty.

As to your question...
you have to spend money to make money...
our technology needs updating...
our educational system needs updating...
our workers need to be re-educated for different jobs...

I am glad we now have a president who will tax the wealthy, instead of letting them slide...they can afford to give.

96% of the wealthy paid the taxes under the Bush admin. Also its important to note that the Bush admin made WAY more money then the Obama admin without raising taxes.

This is really hurting the lower class, but no one seems to care.

***Also its important to note that the Bush admin made WAY more money then the Obama admin without raising taxes.***

...still comparing eight years, to a few months, hmm? And that's a valid argument in your mind?

I guess I must be among the poorer working people on this site...since when is $800 to $1200 a laughable amount of money?? And maybe it IS a laughable amount when it gets spent with a credit card...however SAVING $1200 takes sacrifice at $40,000 a year...and $400 a year, when your annual salary is a measly $20,000 a year could mean skipping a couple meals, and wearing a coat inside all winter...

Maybe I'm old fashioned by having kept myself out of debt, by saving, using credit cards for emergencies only, driving used cars...and working my a** for more years than I'd like to remember...Of course that thousand bucks is only a tiny part of ALL the new collection plates about to enter arena. Frankly, I'd like to avoid dying of old age on the job...

Yes capt, isn't it amazing how much he can screw us over in just a few months?

Amazing? So you ACTUALLY think, that because Obama hasn't made as much money in a few months, as Bush did in EIGHT YEARS. That means Obama is screwing us over?

We now have a President who will tax anybody with a buck...for anything that he can slide a tax onto...

Since 2007...I did not know that Obama was President in 2007.

you have to spend money to make money...

This is true...however it normally applies to those who actually HAVE money to start with...a Chinese credit card is not what I call having money...

How will the government afford all this spending if they are making much MUCH less then the Bush admin.?

tseirpeht , if revenues are down, it is because of the rise in unemployment, which was a direct result of republican policies.

We now have a President who will tax anybody with a buck...for anything that he can slide a tax onto...

Phrannie, care to tell us how you know this is what Obama is willing to do? Are you a mind reader?

Amblessed, you still refuse to acknowledge that the spending is needed to recover from the mess YOUR president left us.

What mess? seems to me the only mess is from democrats approving EVERYONE for housing loans.
