Alan Grayson fun!

"A Budget That’s Bad Even For White Guys"


 
Last week, Congressman Grayson joined Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC, to talk about the Ryan Budget, the Republicans' blueprint for stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Republicans in the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly for this "get poor quick scheme" for America. Here is what Rep. Grayson had to say about it:

Reverend Al Sharpton: Joining me now is Congressman -- Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson . . . .

Congressman Alan Grayson: Thanks.

Rev. Al: Congressman, this will be the third time Republicans voted on a version of the Ryan Budget. And it might be the worst one yet. How do you explain these Republicans in the House?

Alan: Well, the Ryan Budget should have been relegated a long time ago to the septic tank of history. But here it is again. It's bad , for seniors, it's bad for children, and it's bad for everyone, even white guys. You wonder why they keep bringing it back over and over again. It raises the debt by $6 trillion -- that's $20,000 for every man, women, and child in this country -- for the sake of giving a $400,000 tax break to millionaires. The Republicans are literally trying to bribe millionaires with their own money....

Rev. Al: Now, you know, Congressman, today during the debate, House Republicans actually insisted that government spending can't create jobs. Take a listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

Congressman James Lankford: We're not promoting additional stimulus spending as the budget is being proposed right now is. A giant proposal for additional spending did not help us several years ago. Jobs do not come from additional federal spending long term.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

Rev. Al: But Congressman, new polls show that Americans of both parties want the federal government to spend to create jobs. 91% of Democrats and 63% of Republicans support a federal government program that would put people to work through infrastructure repairs; what they support. And 93% of Democrats and 56% of Republicans support the federal government spending money to create more than a million new jobs. This is just a fact. And they are saying that government doesn't create jobs. That government spending will not do it.

Alan: I think that it shows that the public has a much better grip on reality than the Republican Party does. Look at state after state where the Republicans have been in charge. They have cut government spending in those states. They have laid off firefighters, they've laid off teachers, they've laid off police officers, they've laid off all sorts of public servants, and destroyed those jobs. In those states like mine, like in Florida, unemployment has remained high. I'm not going to get into some abstract debate about whether government spending creates jobs, because we've seen with our own eyes the past few years (and we're about to see again with the federal sequester) that cutting government spending definitely destroys jobs, and that's what we're going to see right now. We have a $14 trillion economy with $13 trillion of demand. And the government is making up the difference. If the government stops, this economy will collapse. Maybe Republicans will be happy , because there will be a reserve army of 25 million unemployed people. But as for the Middle Class in America, it's going to be all over. . . .

Rev. Al: Congressman, you know, we saw you going to Boehner's office with petitions for 300,000 signatures about ending the sequester. But who's going to fight them on these -- the need for jobs, the need to stop this nonsense? I mean, are you going to take them on? Who's going to stop this nonsense in Congress?

Alan: Well, I'm hoping that the 750,000 people at a minimum who will lose their jobs because of the Republican sequester will take them on. I'm hoping that the 3,000,000 people who may end up losing their jobs because those 750,000 people have no money left to spend on their rent, on housing, on health care, on food, all of the things that keep other people employed, I'm hoping that they are complaining about it, too.  We did take 300,000 petitions directly to Boehner's office, to show him that at least there are 300,000 people in this country with their eyes wide open, who understand that if we stop this , if we cut these jobs, we're going to end up hurting ourselves. And this notion that the Recovery Act didn't do any good is just nonsense. In my neighborhood, the Recovery Act paid to replace the trailers that my children were going to school in. I have five children who are in public school in Orlando. They were going to school in trailers, and we replaced them with a brick building. You can't tell me the Recovery Act didn't work.

Rev. Al: Well, the people that know the impact of the Recovery Act are those who needed to be recovered. The very wealthy have nothing to recover from, so they don't know what the recovery was. Congressman Alan Grayson..., thanks for your time tonight.

Alan: Thank you.

Congressman Alan Grayson: Bold. Incisive. Direct. A one-man Truth Squad.

How do you bribe someone with their own money? So if some son of 0bama tries to mug me and doesn't get my money did he just bribe me, by not stealing my money?

Indeed.  That's a major gaff.

I thought collected taxes were for the benefit of all, and property of the Almighty Gubbmint.  Sounds like Grayson's actually admitting that high taxes are confiscatory, and belong to the individual, and somehow giving them a small portion of it back is "bribery".

One can not possibly be that big of an idiot naturally,he has to work on it.
If the theory of what he is saying is true then he found the equivalent of a perpetual motion machine...everyone has a government "job" and the economy grows to infinity!!!

Ever since that "Home Alone" episode where Lord Marblehead Earl G was left to twirl the DUmp dials without supervision and allowed the Andyscam to start, Skimmer has been sensitive about fundraising at the DUmp.

The Andyscam made the DUmp, Skimmer, and all the DUmmies an internet laughingstock, a debacle rivalled only by Pitt's drunken Fitzmas embarrassment.

Whenever yet another inventive DUmmy comes up with an outstanding sob story to drain a few bucks from his DUmpmates, his pitch is always prefaced by a disclaimer about how Skimmer gave his permission for the mini-scam but doesn't vouch for its legitimacy.

Every post from Grayson is a pitch for money, but I don't remember even one that mentions a green light from the DUmp's scammaster.

^ Hi5.  So true. Grayson never had a conversation with the DUmmies. he never responds to a question.
He just starts a post, ends it with a plea for money and bam: he's gone.

Some one here thought Grayson didn't even log onto DU, these were posted by his staff.

And DU eats it up. No wonder they fell for Andyscam.

Could it be that Alan (dis)Graceson is going the way of Wee Willie Pitt?

It used to be when Alan's staffer posted the weekly begging for money thread, DUmmies would flock to the thread and post how much they love him.
This thread posted almost 24 hours ago has 3, count em 3 replies.
