#3  In the mean while the economy goes down the drain...
Posted by: Chinese Charlie || 04/22/2014 11:07 Comments || Top||

#4  In the period from fiscal 1992 through 2001, federal taxes averaged 18.3 percent of GDP. But in the last four years of that period (1998 through 2001), the federal budget was in balance.

IIRC, that was the tax increase that cost George Bush Sr. his job. Give Obama credit, he had sense enough to wait until his second term to do it.

#5  Income taxation REQUIRES more debt to keep things going.
Posted by: Bright Pebbles || 04/22/2014 14:02 Comments || Top||

#6  Again, one way to foster, empower, + entrench OWG + Global Fed Unions is to perpetuate, iff not deepen or amke worse, the anarchies-n-chaoses until such time the structures + protocols of OWG saidsame OWG + Global Fed Unions is PERMANENTLY ETSABLISHED + CANNOT BE REVOKED OR REMOVED.

Debt leveraging + manipulation is a principal method - DO NOT DOUBT THAT THE OWG GLOBIES INTEND FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC MORASS TO CONTINUE + WORSEN, THRU ROUGHLY YEAR 2050 = THE FIRST HALF OF THIS CENTURY.

D *** NG IT, ISN'T MAINSTREAM AMERICA = AMERIKA GLAD IT VOTED FOR OWG + GLOBALISM, ETC.???

Oh wait, it didn't - OOOOPPPPPPPPSSSS, my bad.

Dem Congressman on Obamacare: The Worst Is Yet to Come, It's 'Going to Hit the Fan'
[NATIONALREVIEW] Massachusetts representative Stephen Lynch isn't just worried about the negative impact Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
will have on his party's performance this fall -- he also thinks its worst effects on our health-care system are still to come. Lynch, who voted against the Affordable Care Act in 2010, warned that the situation is "going to hit the fan" when the law's delayed provisions go into effect down the road.

"There are parts of Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, that were postponed because they are unpalatable," he told Boston Herald Radio. The Cadillac tax that goes into effect in a few years, he said, will be "the first time in this country's history that we have actually taxed health care."

#1  Lying, "Thirty one Million people"

Bullshit, they are having trouble regesterstig seven million.

#2  A great campaign slogan for Republicans in regards to the Obamacare website would be from the horses mouth himself; "You didn't build that, we did." Barack Hussien Obama

#3  I am not underestimating the Republican's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory or the dhimocrat's ability to pull the wool over the public's eyes with the help of the MSM.

If the dhimocrats are a minority party after November, maybe I'll believe the Republic can be saved.

Otherwise I'll feel both parties are in on the fix and the US as I know it is finished.

#5  Our Attention Deficit Disorder [ADD] plagued Champ and his able sidekick Holder have moved on to another shiny object, the releasing of political prisoners [and future Dem voters] from prison. Our socialist, banana republic movement continues unabated.
