Ways to kill employment by Obama.

Can we start a list of job killing agenda that Obama and the Administration has done or thinking of doing?
Let start with this failure idea: General aviation employs 1.2 million Americans and generates $150 billion a year in revenue. Obama praises it as one of America's industries that still maintains an advantage over other countries' manufacturers.
So it disappointed several in the aviation industry when Obama on Wednesday held up an obscure tax break for corporate jet owners as an example of why Congress should close tax loopholes as part of any deficit reduction deal.
Clueless and incompetent is Obama

Didn't your Anointed One promise to end King Bush's illegal war? Oh that's right...he did. Not only are we still in Iraq and Afghanistan, but your Nobel Peace Prize winner upped the ante by getting us involved in his own illegal war in Libya.

When all else fails, Blame Bush.

Bush has been out of power for almost 3 years now and you ultra-lefties STILL can't get over it. Seek help....soon.

This. You libs had complete control of the government for a while -- why didn't you just arbitrarily bring home all the troops then?

I'll tell you why: you are political cowards and bullies. You talk a good game, but when it comes time to put in writing and vote on things you want, you won't do it. Fear of political repercussions. So, like the playground bully, once someone calls your bluff, you cry and go home to mommy.

What is it now? More than 800 days since the Obama administration put forth any kind of budget in writing for the people to look over?

Cowards.

He also said he would close Gittmo.

He also said he would "set strict budget caps to limit federal spending on an annual basis."

He also said he would "roll back government spending to pre-stimulus, pre-bailout levels, saving at least $100 billion in the first year alone."

He also said he would refuse to "consider House legislation that includes earmarks."

Oops.

He also promised to run the most transparent administration in American history akin to Clinton's promise to run the most ethical administration in American history.

Well, Clinton lied, but it is in fact quite easy to see through Obama's ineptitude.

To be fair, he removed all the smoke & mirrors from the budget by not having one

I agree, but this is hardly unique to one side. It's funny how a balanced budget amendment wasn't so important when the Republicans controlled all 3 branches of government.

CORRECT!!

Now turn the page. What happened to these RINO bastards in 2006? Did their previous supporters vote for the Democrat candidate? Nope...they stayed home as a sign of disapproval for the RINOs who lost their way. Happened again in 2008. Now, with more RINOS unemployed, the conservatives have taken to carrying the flag for reduced government size and the Balanced Budget Amendment. You are right about the Dems and the Dem Lite party, which was in complete control for many many years. The party is over for their asses and their greed-lust for spending other people's money to perpetuate their existence.

Yep, and now we're almost out of time all around. Play time is over for both parties. If we're going to get serious about correcting this problem, forcing the government, by law, to live within its means seems the best way to do it.

Can't disagree.

When the Repubs did control DC politics they quickly began behaving and spending like Dems. Then, in order to regain power, the Dems promised to bring civility, hope, change, and fiscal responsibility back to the Beltway and promptly introduced us to Reid/Obama/Pelosi....and we all know where we stand today on that promise.

The difference now, however, is that those wild, wacky Tea Party Repubs in the House are holding the Rino Repubs and the Dem's feet to the fire on this budget issue. At least we're beginning to see some courage and perhaps a little willingness by some DC politicians to sound the alarm.

When the pubs controlled all three houses, the deficit was about 1/5 of what it is today. I can kind of understand why it's suddenly important.

True but let's be honest. That Repub-controlled Congress helped get the deficit snowball rolling. If they had done what they SHOULD have done when they had control of DC politics, we wouldn't even be having this debate.

Absolutely. Both parties deserve 100% credit for this mess. But the pidgeons are finally coming home to roost and only one party (more accurately, a faction within one party) is willing to take action.

It's not rocket science. You have to chop $1T off govt spending ASAP, more than likely cut SS/Medicare some 15% (with an equal increase in FICA = everyone shares the pain), and work on the gradual implementation of a VAT. That's the only way out I see. Otherwise we have to get very serious about chopping entitlements we'd all love to have, but simply can't afford. Oh, and we should immediately return capital gains to 20% from 15%.
