Brought this over…
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/03/26/morning-plum-what-the-gop-budgets-really-tell-us-about-gops-economic-agenda/
the House GOP leadership successfully passed a budget that would cut $5.5 trillion in spending, repealing Obamacare, block-granting (a.k.a., cutting) Medicaid, and slashing away at food stamps, education, and many other programs. If the Senate this week passes its budget, which contains similar cuts, Republicans in both chambers will try to put them together, and hold a vote on the whole package.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities looked at the specified and unspecified reductions in both budgets — which were required to meet the goal of balance in 10 years with zero in new revenues — and determined that each would get at least two thirds of its cuts from programs that help lower income Americans.
the GOP budgets are rooted in the idea that one of the primary obstacles to economic opportunity and mobility is that there is too much government-engineered downward redistribution of wealth. It’s reasonable to surmise that the GOP presidential candidates implicitly share this analysis. As Paul Waldman writes, many of the candidates have flirted with the idea of a flat (i.e., less progressive) tax. Ted Cruz sees the repeal of Obamacare and a flat tax as pivotal to restoring opportunity for our children. Scott Walker is flirting with the party’s most prominent supply siders. Even Jeb Bush, who is said to be the most moderate of the bunch, tacitly premised his big economic speech on the idea that the primary driver of inequality is dependence on the federal government.
Got that? “There’s too much government engineered downward distribution of wealth.” In other words, too much help for the peons. America…wakey wakey! They just aren’t into you!!!
And when the 1% have a problem - scream for p11 (government), fight it through the courts (government). All they want is a government that does the wishes of the wealthy. Horrible, horrible people. I do wonder how they sleep at night.
Ahhhhhhhh 911
8-)
and no. no smhing and headdesking allowed.
OMG, that is SO mean!!! :lol:
my daughter and wifey units. their
misteakloss.:D
Love that cartoon. “Hypocrites for Cruz”
Ted Cruz has missed 18 votes in the Senate since he announced .
I would bet Rand Paul is keeping track of this.
Congrats Amk for your solid Au :star:
That Cartoon is Perfect.
Bringing from the last post.
beebs live
Low-cost airline Norwegian Air Shuttle will now require two people to be in the cockpit at all times for safety reasons. “When one person leaves the cockpit, two people will now have to be there,” its director of operations is quoted as saying by AFP news agency.
That’s a start.
And how would this nutter know this?
Some really strange people have come out of the shadows - hmmmmmmm.
Good Morning TOD & Chips.
I wonder how many christian churches are close by? what idiots. I think America has a lot of adults who think they are normal but are really mentally ill or socially immature.
Morning JoJo! Seeing as I have churches, synagogues and mosques near me, I’m wondering if I’m a Christian Jewish Muslim? That would be quite confusing :-)
You wouldn’t know which way to turn your a_ _ when you are praying (I know, forgive me!)
:lol: It would indeed be a mind-altering experience!!!!
Good morning jojo.
I think you are correct in your thinking :-)
I think their hatred colors everything they see…hear…and feel
Morning/Afternoon GGail!
WHAT’S ACTUALLY IN THE GOP BUDGET PROPOSAL
Congressional Democrats on Budget (3/25/15)
————————————-
Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Chuck Schumer (D-WA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Representatives Steve Israel (D-NY), Xavier Beccerra (D-CA), and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) spoke to reporters about the fiscal year 2016 budget proposals.

Senator Cornyn called a vote on PBO’s budget. Someone does that every year so that it fails. It is a stunt , as usual.
What a creep…..she has a child with a pre-existing condition of Downs Syndrome. I guess she does not care about that…..or …the old yearly caps and lifetime caps on this child’s coverage.
Ok for HER I guess, because we pay for HER insurance….You know, THE BIG BAD GOVERNMENT THAT IS US!!…FYI…It’s Down Syndrome…not Downs Syndrome :) Named after the man that discovered it..Dr, John Langdon Down. Common mistake:)
Season Six will be the final season of Downton Abbey.
Waaaaawaaaaaa.
Very cool slideshow:
Mt favorite tweet of the day:
bam. will the teabagging ignoramuses would even notice? or worse, would even care?
57andfemale it is a great tweet. And it speak the truth about all Republicans.
Awesome tweet!
Thanks 57

@bshelburne
JER, where o’ where is the President appearing today?????
At 4:10 p.m. ET:
Leon Panetta needs to decline anti-PBO interviews…..
Today he let out a BIG SIGN when Mrs. Greenspan asked hem ” What kind of success is this ” ( 7 months ago PBO said Yemen was an example of a counterterrorism success. )
Panetta has been gone for almost two years….does she think he still gets daily briefings ? The media would dig up a corpse to ask negative questions to target PBO.
The willful pretense on every event, time, condition and statement being permanent indefinitely……looking for what was….. to be exactly the same today…….humm……somehow in the Era and Age of President Obama…….using the same USA Media and Rightie logic…….The Iraq war was/is supposed to have magically Fixed The “ME” and Muslim World……..how I wish Josh and Co would forcefully push back using harsher languages against these DC/NY Journos and their Rightie Flanks……if not, they would keep dumbing down political discourse and ginning up fake arguments where none is required.
Got a 3.7 in both my autocad classes and a 3.4 in my math class! So happy right now! :)
:cool:
Congrats Jeff
Give him TWO gold stars. Congratulations Jeff!
Congratulations, Jeff!
a huge congratulations on your grades - especially the math class you were so worried about
Worth a listening…..
He left a lot of scar tissue in that room, for sure …..
I SAW SOME OF THIS ON CSPAN LAST NIGHT AND THE AUDIENCE WAS VERY NON RESPONSIVE TO MANY OF THE SPEAKERS…I WONDERED IF THEY WERE STILL ALIVE!…LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
WHAT TIME DOES HE SPEAK AGAIN TODAY?…PRETTY PLEASE……………DON’T WANT TO MISS IT!…THERE GOES THAT SMILE AGAIN…MORE SUNSHINE…:)
4:10 ET: President Obama delivers remarks on the economy at Lawson State Community College.
BLESS YOU JER…THANK YOU!…..:)
They can’t stand President Obama because his has shown them for what they are; a bunch of impotent warmongers without a clue of anything that does not pertain to their sad existence. President Obama has best them at every turn from the hunting down and killing of Osama bin Laden to Healthcare. Their cathedrals are decayed and corrupt; ignorance is the currency they now deal in. President Obama has made them beach themselves like animals that crawl out of the sea waiting to be put out of their misery.
Wow, Don. What a comment. I agree with every word you’ve written.
OUR ENERGIZER PRESIDENT HAS TURNED OVER THEIR ROCKS AND THEY HAVE TO FACE THE LIGHT OF TRUTH…PBO IS THE GREATEST AND MOST PRODUCTIVE PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY WILL EVER SEE!
Wow, I’m super impressed with the work Ben Affleck has done in Eastern Congo.
Forward to 17:14 to hear his remarks:

HOPE
Hope and Change…..that is the answer in the Era of Pres Obama……no matter what haters say or do.
Truly incredible, our President seeks solutions to avoid a nuclear war and the opposition tells us not to vaccinate our children.
Someone thinks very highly of himself……seriously.
OH PLEASE! AIRLINE BAGGY! AND I WASN’T FEELING THAT WELL ANYWAY!
As Sue would say, What a shmuck!
So Lincoln used tax payer money to have his office done up in Downton Abbey style?
A word the GOP has never heard of - humility - if Schock is even mentioned in the next 5 years - it will be for all the wrong reasons.
Boy the news has been grim for red states. Kansas pushed an anti-abortion bill, Indiana’s gov signed an antigay, pro-bigot bill. Sad day in America.
And why anyone other than rich white men vote for these people???
bbl …
Before departing …
Great……That is finally what they need…..In_deed to help root out Daesh/Al Qaeda…..when the Saudi Arabia is not dubiously funding so many of these Terror groups.
:-)
You are delivering Truth ;) unabashedly to those who deserve it the most.
Thanks, Chips.
He’s a toad, Nena!!
Typical punk bully. Can’t take it when push back is in their face.
Good for you warrior Chips!
Truth hurts - media is like the GOP - hate when their stupid is met with reality
THIS IS SUCH A DARK DAY WITH THIS AIRLINER TRAGEDY…THE WORLD IS IN GREAT TRAUMA AND SOCIETY IS SCRATCHING IN THE DIRT AT SEWER CAP LEVEL….IT’S VERY DIFFICULT TO SMILE TODAY…:(
