I'm transferring schools.
If he got the same education as lot of people I'm friends with in economics at X we should hide in a hole. But that just might be my friends.

I mean it is a really really big gavel. We should start cutting back on making that sucker so big from here on out.

It's deliberately that size to knock out the remaining loons who reside in the House. Unfortunately, the voters didn't clean house quite enough last November.

CBO says if you remove the Healthcare Law it would dramatically increase the deficit.

I'm not a fan of the law myself, but kid of hard to disagree with the CBO, especially when the R's touted them all last year.

The CBO does not have a stellar track record when it comes to estimating the costs surrounding federal social programs.ptown_trojans_1;628296 wrote:CBO says if you remove the Healthcare Law it would dramatically increase the deficit.

Why is it OK for the CBO to put out negative when Democrats try to do something....but when it goes againist Republicans...they suck
You're right Sparkie,they are most likely wrong. It will likely cost much more than that to repeal it

Boehner maybe better than Pelosi as SOTH but the guy was known a cheater in golf years ago at West Chester CC anybody that cheats at golf will cheat you whenever they can.

I've never heard any stories of cheating, and I'm wired in at both Weatherington and Beckett pretty well. Drunken chain smoker? Absolutely. Cheater? Not so much.

Actually it is easy to disagree with the CBO; I don't know if they have ever even come close to getting a projection correct. Beyond that though, there is no way in hell that disallowing the formation of 169 new bureaucracies, commissions, and agencies will not save money. This atrocity of a bill would be the final straw that breaks our back in less than 10 years unless repealed. Let's get on with it!!!!!!

Known to be a huge pencil whipper at Weatherington. Two off the tee, shank in the fairway, two blasts in the sand and 3 putt..."Gimme a double bogey" was typical. This guy is a huge A-hole but so are most of his other Cincy buddies that got him there in the first place so there ya go.fish82;628901 wrote:That tears it. Impeach!

I'm still waiting on Herr Boehner to provide legislation which will actually lead to job creation. He's had about 2 months to come up with something. I'm interested in seeing results.

Maybe he's still trying to scrounge up another 700 billion to flush down the shitter.

After witnessing the 8%, no 9%, no 10% unemployment we've enjoyed under the Pelosi/Reid/BHO spending spree the past couple of years, it shouldn't be too difficult for even Boehner to improve on those heart-warming numbers. No wait...the Senate & White House are still controlled by two thirds of the Three Stooges. Boehner & Co. don't have a chance.stlouiedipalma;629674 wrote:I'm still waiting on Herr Boehner to provide legislation which will actually lead to job creation.

There's really no secret.
1. Government does not "create" jobs.
2. One can't be pro-jobs and anti-business. Keep/improve the legislation needed (and most of it is not) to make sure the rights of business (foreign concept to many, that businesses have rights - they do) doesn't trample the rights of the people, and otherwise get the hell out of the way of those of us who do, in fact, create every single job.

Last month was the best in that regard in quite some time. Coincidence?
Yeah, largely it was.

a. Ending the insane spending
b. Cutting unnecessary spending
c. Bringing corporate tax rates down to levels more commonly seen in other industrialized countries
d. Providing tax incentives to small businesses for expansion and therefore increasing potential for jobs creation
e. Ending the insane spending

True, but the government can also foster investment and innovation through subsidies and the right, tight controlled spending in areas to allow growth in certain sectors.

Do you mean subsidies similar to the wonderful "Cash for Clunkers" program that stimulated...ummm...uhhh....well....nothing? Or farm subsidies, where people are paid not to farm and have prices held artificially high so that everyone pays for it? Those kind of programs?

Sort of, but farm subsidies are awful and need dramatically reformed/ cut. It is more of the subsidies toward new areas, tech jobs, nuclear power, breaks for small businesses that favor a new technology, breaks for businesses that can help improve infrastructure, etc. those sort of things.
