Tea Party Types and GOP: Explain this to me

[LuciferSam]

That is a pretty lame reasoning for discounting the expert's opinions on the economy. Once the Chosen One fetish takes hold, there's no turning back.

I put trickle down economics in the same woo woo category as homeopathic medicine and feng shui.

Tax and spend initiatives are going to turn things around?

The only thing that trickles down is Republican snake oil.

It doesn't matter where the sheet came from - what matters is that it is flying towards the fan or has already hit it.

Try as you might you can't rewrite history. It was Bush, not Obama who claimed to be the chosen one when he said to James Robinson: ?I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can?t explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen? I know it won?t be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it.?

After that debacle it looks like God needs a major image makeover.

OR maybe people need to stop claiming God is saying something when he isn't. :roll:

Back to the topic at hand, will House Dems buck the President and Repubs proposal or will it be tax cuts for everyone?

It doesn't seem to matter anymore... we will go $700 billion dollars if the deal goes thru. Our taxes will go up an average of $3000 per taxpayer if the whole deal falls thru. A reasonable compromise would have been for the top 2% of the richest people in this country to pay 4% more taxes, but that's not gonna happen because THE REPUBLICANTS HAVE NO CONSCIENCE!!!

The only "trickle down" that will occur is a direct result of loss of urinary tract control. Ask Mitch McConnel and John Baynor.
