There's another budget crisis in Washington, and it's unfolding inside the Democratic party. The Democratic National Committee remains so deeply in the hole from spending in the last election that it is struggling to pay its own vendors.
Of course the DNC is broke.
Billionaires know which party best represents their interests. Hint: it's not the DNC.
Well, even if the DNC might be broke, it doesn't really matter since...
A: Obama got re-elected
B: All of the money the GOP and their fake grass roots astroturf political movements, as well as the billionaires that have fought to have Obamacare de-funded hasn't done diddly-squat. They still lost. Haw Haw!
C: Money isn't going to change the fact that like it or not, the world changes, and so too does the US and its demographics that increasingly don't favor the current GOP.
would love to have the list of people who will donate to the DNC in the next two years. Those people are whachu call a "Mullet" and as you know a Mullet will bite anything.
A list of fools who are easily parted with their money is worth Millions. That would be the worlds best lead call list.
Funny, I always pictured you with a mullet...
Captain Shuddup sounds a lot like Uncle Eddie from National Lampoon's "Vacation" series.
Say hey! This was in the Wall Street Journal on March 30, 1999. Note "... how much it will buy."
Holy cow/interesting/compelling ...!
And where is it up to date??? Right here ... see the first chart shown in this thread.
Recent Dow day is Monday, September 30, 2013 __ Level is 96.6
WOW! It is hideous that this is hidden! Is there any such "Homes, Inflation Adjusted"? Yes indeed, go here:

I too picture him with a mullet, a wife-beater t-shirt, a handfull of viocdin and a six-pack of PBR, all in the pervading smell of propane, day old burritos and endless piles of slim-jim wrappers.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Obama's been talking to the GOP via media all weekend long, not just the 10 minute PR stunt Russia and TheIran are getting....
What's you point?
Over the weekend, Obama had phone conversations with the presidents of Russia, and Iran... But not with the leaders of the GOP.
Live up to the responsibilities of the office?
Um, they are elected officials doing the bidding of their constituents. Id say they're doing exactly what they were put into office to do, and that's save us from the ppaca nightmare
So? How is this a surprise? All the bankrupt cities were run by democrats, it only seems logical that the DNC should be in the same shape.
I wouldn't call the RNC a shining example of fiscal responsibility. The Republican "borrow and spend" is much less responsible than the Democrat "tax and spend." It's the Republicans who go on spending sprees (i.e. unnecessary wars) while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% of the population.
Sall right all that any party has to do is call a good all fundraiser to appeal to the ego of the troopers bro...its not much different than a newlywed couple fundraising for their honeymoon!

I'm not sure how asking for $3 donation appeals to somebody's ego. ;)
APOCALYPSEFUCK is Comptroller says
All bank examiners must be sacrificed in public and all bank regulations must be suspended in order for normal housing valuations to mature. Like, there is no reason why a house in San Bernadino should not cost at least as much as the GDP of Finland.
GDP of Finland? must be a teardown...
This is one indication that stupid Dems are as stupid as stupid Reps & "You can't fix Stupid."

If the medical industry can't rape America like the financial crimes industry does, can equality of opportunity have any meaning at all?
Now that's some Funny shit. Damn these laughing tears.
I still be loving me some Mr. Comptroller.
Medical science cannot cure:
Cancer
Diabetes
Major limb loss
Hepatitis
Obesity
AIDS
Heart Attacks
Leukemia
Most congenital diseases or birth defects
Many debilitating spinal injuries
Severe mental illnessThe question is why do we pay them so much?!

Half Of US Population Accounts For Only 2.9% Of Healthcare Spending
I can't believe such a headline would actually shock anyone. Are you surprised that only 2.9% of the population is hospitalized at any given moment?
Congress and Obama will wait for stocks to go down another couple percent, then they will cover their short positions and announce an agreement.
Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.
They're giving red-meat to the dogs. That's politics.
Remember we've got a whole army of mind-numbed Foxbots and Rushbots doing whatever their master(s) tell them to do.
Thinking critically is hard. We want to be told The Truth (tm).
Foxbots/Rushbots will do what they're told to do: vote Republican.
Those shitbags were going to anyway, regardless whatever Fox or the drug addict said. The die-hard 30% of republican voters won't ever get past the skin tone of Obama, and are just as radical and dangerous as when they win.
Ther's no cure for it, and ironically those kind of morons are so radical that even their own kids vote the opposite of them.
They're their own worst and biggest enemy.
What??? Is hospitalization the only place medical costs are incurred??
There you go again...
Missing the *whole point* of an argument by obsessing over details.
Of course hospitalization isn't the *only* source of high medical costs.
I was simply pointing out the following: it's pretty obvious that only a small fraction of the population will be in need of expensive medical care at any given moment. I used hospitalization as an obvious example.

I can't believe such a headline would actually shock anyone. Are you surprised that only 2.9% of the population is hospitalized at any given moment?
You seem to have misread the statistic. It doesn't say how much 3% of the population spend, but coincidentally, hospitals and nursing homes do account for 50% of the spending.
The whole population already knows health insurance and obamacare isn't worth a shit. That's why the healthcare industry created the mandatory tax. It's to keep their gravy train running.
those kind of morons are so radical that even their own kids vote the opposite of them.
I know. My father is a Foxbot.
He's also a far-right Christian zealot. I don't think that's a coincidence.
Should I take the rebate in gold coins, since we know the government is broke??
You can get what Germany got when they asked for their gold
AF, I'm packing my bags to head for the hills, but it occurs to me, if I relocate to your town the cannibal anarchy might be a tasty adventure. Are you accepting recruits?
This also means congress and the president will not receive paychecks as well right?
I wonder, when will I receive my rebate check for the taxes I paid for
government services, since those services won't be rendered now???
Should I take the rebate in gold coins, since we know the government is
broke??
Once you figure out how much your rebate should be they can set the printing press to accomodate you.
If something like this happened at my job, I'd be fired, and rightfully so.
We need to clean house of the shit that corrupts our government and the shit in the government that accepts it.
As I've mentioned so many times, public hangings are a good start.
I'll pull the handle and still sleep like a god damned baby.

Are restaurant convection ovens big enough to fit an entire bankster or Realtor® or will they have to be cut up and tossed into sautee pans in chunks?
The important thing is not to use the microwave. It just doesn't do the meal justice.
I personally like to roast a banker on a rotating stick over a fire like so...
APOCALYPSEFUCK is Comptroller says
Wow, no place for you at the Sears appliance sale!
Sears sells rotisserie grills, do they not?
Shutdown the paychecks of congress for a year and we will have a deal done faster than they can sling an insult across the aisle.
It's the only job I know of that pays like 150K a year, and after 4 years, you're a millionaire.... How's that math work??
No kidding. I've seen plenty of it, some average bureaucrat making his 80,000 a year... while driving a $100,000 car and lives in a 5,000,000 house. It's obvious that kind of lifestyle isn't matching the salary or the job.
Goal is to reduce national debt and not spend like a drunken sailor as if there is no tomorrow. Public employee wages and benefits are bankrupting USA and MUST be cut by 5-10% every year for next five years.
That's insane. If you do that, you'll destroy thousands of businesses that depend on Public Employees' patronage.
Team America World Police is bankrupting America, with half the world's military spending. Military spending is utterly discretionary.
How does one party that has lost two presidential elections and a Supreme Court case – as well as two Senate elections - think it has the right to shut down the entire government and destroy the full faith and credit of the United States Treasury to get its way on universal healthcare now?

They believe that their opponents are not legitimately qualified to govern, and therefore any measures against said opponents are justified. So they impeached Clinton and will destroy our system of government to stop Obama.
In the eyes of all Republicans, a Democratic president is illegitimate.
By the way, they've lost 5 of the last 6 presidential elections in the popular vote. They don't care, because the Republican Party is the only party fit to govern.
They put party before country.
They put party before country.
But in their minds they're saving the country from the evil socialists.
