Millions of American now realize what happens when the government is open.  When it is closed, they barrycade* national monuments and close parks.  When it's open, you get kicked off your health insurance and lose your doctor.

*footnote* Barrycade was coined by grahambonnet on Rotterdamny.Info message board.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Yes I blame the Republicans who killed the "single payer" option.  Had they left
that policy in place, the govt would offer insurance or you
could buy it on the market through ObamaCare.  The insurance lobby made sure
that the GOP would eliminate any competition from the govt that would keep
rates in check.

it has nothing to do with choice and EVERYTHING to do with the $$$$ trail....it's not the reps alone...it's status quo and
the need to be told what is good for you by someone else.

The republicans killed nothing.  They didn't have the votes.  The Democrats passed EXACTLY what they wanted.  Remember Obama's "elections have consequences" quote?  Yes they do.  Millions losing their insurance and doctor that they were promised they could keep are coming to that harsh realization.

To show you just how out of touch the GOP is, look at this poll.  It shows that America wants
the exact opposite of the Conservative Republican Agenda.

Quoted Text
According to a recent poll, what the American people overwhelmingly want Congress
to do is increase government spending to create jobs, protect Social Security and
Medicare, and expand social programs by requiring corporations and the wealthy to
pay higher taxes to “shoulder more of the burden of supporting government.” The
poll’s results reveal a year-long trend among Americans who favor abandoning the
Reaganomics of tax cuts for the rich and shrinking government down to a size
Republicans can “drown it in a bathtub,” and is a stark departure from what Republicans
claim the people demand from Congress. In fact, the poll revealed that 68% support
strengthening the economy with job creation while only 28% support teabagger and
Republican policies of cutting corporate and the wealthy’s taxes, slashing domestic
spending, and reducing government to cut the nation’s deficit.

The poll also revealed that even teabagger Republicans favor progressive tax and
spend policies by 25%, and that nearly 80% of all respondents want corporate tax
loopholes closed to fund government spending.

You must be using some weird kind of new math.

The annual defense budget is $1,735,000,000,000.

Divided by 350 million Americans. 350,000,000

Equals $5,008.57 for every single man, woman and child in the US.

$247 a year. Sure.

So, increase spending and raise taxes.

Brilliant.

That should put the last nail in the coffin.

You should run for Mayor of Schenectady.

I always say to these morons that can't do arithmetic, that if spending this much more than we take in is great, then doubling or tripling it must be better. They never have an answer. If high taxes are so wonderful, then go ahead and double them to see how great that is.

To the other imbecilic point about taxing the ""rich." There aren't enough "rich" to make a steady meal of. The political class knows that they will run out of the "rich's" money in weeks. The vast share of all wealth is in the hands of the middle class and THIS is where the confiscation schemes must be focused. Baby boomers' retirements and the next lower gen's (Gen X) inheritance to start with. The entire retirement of the investor class is ripe for the picking. It MUST be seized in order to spend at the levels that the democrap tyrant-terrorists want to spend at.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Are the rich paying the taxes in Obamacare or did the middle class just visit the proctologist again. Famous last words "I will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000", guess who said that.

Note To Cracker Graham:
Taxes are at a 60 year low!

That's because the median income has dropped to $12,000 a year, genius.

Quoted Text
http://blogs.esri.com/esri/esr.....-recovering-in-2013/
Median household income is nowhere near the pre-Great Recession figures. According to Esri’s Updated Demographics data, median household income was $53,150 in 2007. During calendar year 2008 (the first year after the start of the recession), median household income rose to $54,700. In the intervening years, median household income fell from $54,700 in 2009 to $54,442 in 2010, and dropped in 98 percent of US counties. In 2013, Esri’s Updated Demographics data notes that with a figure of $51,314, median household income is still in recovery, increasing by only $1,157 from $50,157 in 2012.

Meanwhile, median household income fell slightly to $51,017 a year in 2012, down from $51,100 in 2011
