I see what the GOP is trying to do. Cowards!
I just watched Van Hollen vs. Ryan on Meet the Press and it's clear as day. After leading this country off a cliff economically the GOP is now attacking Obama's budget. THEY want the President to make the politically suicidal moves of lowering the deficit by cutting programs MILLIONS rely on. They're shirking responsibility.
You know what? I DO think we need to lower the deficit (eventually) but I don't think Obama should have to be the one to do it. Obama should solely focus on job creation. THEY created this fiscal mess let THEM make the politically suicidal moves necessary. The reason for their constant attacks is because they KNOW it's political suicide to impose austerity and when they (GOP) try to enforce these austerity measures they know they will pay the price dearly and probably become extinct as a political party.
Just like them, a bunch of cowards. THEY create the mess than scream and cry that someone isn't fixing THEIR mess. Like little whiney cry-babies shirking responsibility. You broke it GOP YOU fix it. We'll concentrate on growing the economy.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002328607Hey dumbass, 0bama has been in office since 2009 and up until last January he and his party had total control of the government. Now that the GOP has the house unemployment is down to record lows of 8.3%, all last week you kept celebrating that and saying 0bama saved us. Now all of a sudden everything is a mess again? You idiots need to make up your minds.
The reality is ever since Pelosi was handed the gavel we started going faster over that cliff, then when 0bama was sworn in he punched the accelerator, and said, "look what the republicans did".

1. They created the mess on purpose ... its Grover Norquist's plan.
The GOP knows that the American people will never give up Social Security or Medicare unless absolutely forced to do so.
So the GOP's strategy, since Reagan, has been to grow the deficit when then control things, such that it becomes so big, the American people will give up those, and all other social programs.
That's always the plan.

2. The question is,
Why do Americans vote someone into a governmental office who hates government?
We don't hate government, you potted plant, we recognize that government has its limits and want people who abide by that in government.

4. Correct.. this is not the time to be imposing austerity measures on a fragile economy.
As you said the focus should be on job creation... at least until the unemployment rate is down to about 5 or 6%.
He has had 3 years of his laser like focus on jobs, this November his employers will tell him, he doesn't have to go home, but he can't stay here, and the next guy will be given a chance. Look at the bright side DUmmies, 0bama will help stimulate the economy by collecting unemployment.
