An important distinction is where the money was spent. Bush wasted untold billions on Iraqi infrastructure. Obama’s spending has been directed at American infrastructure.

Did our defense budget drop under Obama? Or did you simply pull that “fact” out of your arse when it was pointed out that deficit spending under Obama has been MASSIVELY increased over any deficits during the Bush administration?
If Obama is not wasting more $$, then why is Citizens against Government waste, the largest non-partisan watchdog group on wasteful spending rate the govt under Obama the most wasteful and non-transparent in modern history? http://ur.lc/is7
you’re simply clueless, which explains why you’re an Obama defender. On another thread Nomo, you threw out the “fact” that health insurance companies pay out only 17% of premiums on health services. When citation was provided to you which drastically contradicted that claim, you told us that you had a secret report in your office which would prove your point. You were lying then and you’re lying again now.

I always hate to confuse an idealogue with simple facts but the Iraq war was paid for almost totally with special off budget appropriations not out of the dod budget. So the dod budget wouldn't shrink even if Obama pulled everyone out of Iraq. As per the 2008 budget I don't remember Bush vetoing it, could you remind me about that?

That being said spending has to be reigned in and I don't think Obama is the man to do it. Of course Bush made the term spending like a drunken sailor an embarrasment to any drunken sailor I ever met so I don't know where we go from here.

I always hate to confuse an idealogue with simple facts but the Iraq war was paid for almost totally with special off budget appropriations not out of the dod budget.

I don't understand.. What's your point? The wars are funded by both DoD budget and emergency bills. So what does that have to do with my reply to the absurd claim that Obama was spending on infrastructure rather than on the war when in fact military spending under Obama has INCREASED?

Of course Bush made the term spending like a drunken sailor an embarrasment to any drunken sailor I ever met so I don’t know where we go from here.

If you weren't such an ideologue yourself, you'd admit that if Bush spent like a drunken sailor, then Obama is spending like the entire 7th fleet on a crack binge.. with an unlimited credit card.

Hilarious to see those who are/were quick to blame Bush for deficits (he deserves blame) either excuse Obama's far WORSE deficit spending or they are reluctant to similarly point the fingers of blame at Obama.

The Tea Party is not founded around solid ongoing core, they are the "militant wing of the Republican Party" energized & motivated by Obama. If John McCain were in office I'm quite certain people would be saying "What Party? Tea? Never heard of it." They were little more than a handful of people in unknown fringe group with Revolutionary War costume fetish prior to Obama being elected. Among Teabaggers, there is overwhelming love for Bush despite claims to the contrary.

Teabaggers only claim to be anti-bush because they see what a failure his policies were. Nevertheless, they have the same basic policy objectives:

- Lower taxes
- Don't cut spending on anything that matters
- Spend 20% of GDP on the military

If these people were truly about smaller government, they'd be working their asses off to get Ron Paul or some other rational and intelligent small government type into higher office, and they'd be campaigning against spending rather than taxes.

When I see "End Medicare, End Social Security, End the wars" signs at tea party protests I'll actually start to believe these people. Calling for lower taxes while simultaneously bemoaning the debt is hilarious.

When I see “End Medicare, End Social Security, End the wars” signs at tea party protests I’ll actually start to believe these people. Calling for lower taxes while simultaneously bemoaning the debt is hilarious.

Large majorities of Tea Party protesters would be happy as clams to opt out of Medicare and Social Security.. just as long as the govt pays us back with interest for all the social security taxes and Medicare taxes that we've paid into the system over the years. It's just another Ponzi promotion trying to use class warfare techniques to keep the fraud going. If Social Security and Medicare are such great deals, why are you liberal fascists so afraid to make it voluntary? Here's how we "fix" the broken system - Let people CHOOSE whether or not they want to participate in Social Security, Medicare or Obamacare.. not be forced into a system that is obviously dishonest, wasteful and fraud-ridden inside and out.

FDR promised an immediate windfall of unearned old age benefits in exchange for selling future generations into debt slavery. They bought it hook, line and sinker. It worked so well that every liberal fascist scheme since FDR has been a variation of the same tactic. As a result, the social security system is broke with no plan in place to make it solvent. Medicare is on the fast track to bankruptcy too. Fannie and Freddie are similar govt. scams, promising "affordable" housing to anyone regardless of creditworthiness. Leftists have taken America from being a hard-working, honest-days-work society to a place where scamming the system and playing honest people for fools is the modus operandi for government, big corporations, and politicians. Govt needs to be stripped of many of it's non-constitutional power grabs which are bankrupting and demoralizing this country.. that's what the Tea Party movement is about

As far as I know, the tea party is about fair taxation, pro constitution (freedom/liberty), and government responsibility (no bailouts, military defense, not offense, etc). It's more Libertarian than "Conservative". Now that Faux News has taken over, it's turned into: ni**as/monkeys, white/anglo, anti-immigrant/hispanic, even KKK, etc.

Any time a group of people rise up to protest a corrupt government who have the power to change it, that group is ultimately infiltrated, then discredited through the media.

I'd bet a large amount of $$$ that you're a liar talking out of your ass and that you've never been to a Tea Party gathering. What you've written is a smear, nothing more. I live in Houston, TX. I've been to two Tea Party protests with my family, I've walked the crowd and never seen anything even remotely close to something which could be fairly described as "KKK" or "ni**s/monkeys" as you've stated. In fact, with the black headline speakers at the protests, the Tea Partiers would be more accurately characterized as 'nigra lovers'.

When you get your tax refund back, do you get interest for the money you "loaned" the government by virtue of overpayment during the year? Of course not.

Why should they pay you back "with interest"? This baffles me. Social Security is clearly an insurance program, whereby this year's contributions are used to pay this years expenses. It is not a "savings account" in any sense. If you want your lifetime inflation-adjusted contributions back I maybe could see that, but asking for interest just shows an absurd misunderstanding of what the program actually is.

So you're admitting that many/most people can never hope to get out of Social security what they put in it? That makes it a Ponzi scheme right? And what does that make you personally, excusing and defending a system which isn't much different from the system which Bernie Madoff ran? If it's "absurd" to expect to receive a payment with reasonable interest, then you're defending a scam, nothing more.

Social Security is clearly a socialist institution whereby this year’s contributions are used to pay this years expenses. It’s a form of insurance

Why do you liberal fascists insist that Social security and medicare be MANDATORY? It's because you think you know what's best for everyone else.

So when you pay money to HMO every year, do you expect you will get out what you put in? What if you don't have any health problems, aren't you being cheated? That money is just gone. Worse yet it's probably used to treat some undeserving layabout. When you hit the limit of what you put into the HMO do they start pulling money out of your bank account?

I'm not interested in hypotheticals or "how it ought to be?". Here's how it is. Deal with it.

So when you pay money to HMO every year, do you expect you will get out what you put in?

Except that Social security was never intended to be or sold as an "insurance". It was a retirement income for retirees. You're dishonest as hell to suggest otherwise

ZippyDDoodah says

It's referred to as the "Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program." What do think FICA stands for? Federal INSURANCE Contributions Act! It's plainly labelled as such, and anyone who cannot comprehend that probably shouldn't be allowed to handle sharp objects.

Social security is considered old age "retirement income" no matter what the govt. names it. To suggest otherwise is dishonest as hell.

Social Security is plainly labelled as an "Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program". Ignorance of the fact it's a mandatory INSURANCE program is not the fault of the agency which informs you otherwise in all documents.

I have no doubt the 50+% of the Tea Party that gladly partake of unemployment insurance, MediCare, MedicAid, and Social Security are willing to play "jailhouse lawyer" when they need something and comb through every piece of paper to get the outcome they want. It takes a real special type to deliberately misunderstand the entire basis of the operation along the way. Tea Party strikes me as the worst of the Boomers, entitled as hell and raging self-deluded hypocrites about it. I'll raise a glass of beer tomorrow night over dinner to the Teabaggers, here's to you Mr. "keep the gubmit out of my MediCare!"

ZippyDDoodah says

It's that kind of bullshit qualification that shows the lack of conviction. "Oh yeah, we'll give it up as long as you do this first". BULLSHIT. Call for an end to it, stand up for something, grow a fucking pair for christ's sake.

I call bullshit on anyone claiming that they want to opt out of medicare. Quite simply, you'd have no way of getting health care when you're over 65. The same goes for social security, since hardly any of these people have any retirement to speak of.

ZippyDDoodah says

Except that Social security was never intended to be or sold as an “insurance”. It was a retirement income for retirees. You’re dishonest as hell to suggest otherwise

You're joking, right? Do you even know what OSDI stands for? Medicare and social security were clearly identified as insurance-like systems from their inception. The fact that you're not aware of that tells me that you clearly don't care enough what you claim to not like.

Frankly, I'm not a fan of social security and medicare. I don't believe that they're very well designed systems, and I'd fully support ending them. I do actually understand how they work, though, which is the least I'd expect of anyone complaining about them.

The "large majorities" thing sounds like more bullshit to me. The tea party rhetoric during the health care debate was all about being afraid that obama was going to hurt medicare. I sincerely doubt that anyone openly advocating for an end to these two programs would win any state in a general election.

I also notice that you ignore the issue of the military. We spent a trillion dollars on it last year. You can not claim that you're for small government if you endorse spending a trillion dollars on the military.

ZippyDDoodah says

Why do you liberal fascists insist that Social security and medicare be MANDATORY?

You know, if you're going to ask a question it's polite to not stuff words in our mouths to make an answer to make a point. That's just unresponsive abuse.

Assuming you're not just trolling here. Tough to tell, really.

Anyhoo, my answer to this question, which I repeat whenever I can, is that all taxes and other mandatory contributions taken at gunpoint come out of rents (and land values).

By mandating as much as we can from paychecks, we take this money out of the flow that goes to our daily living costs, and for nearly everyone the dominant daily living cost is the rent or mortgage payment.

neo-classical economics is called the dismal science because it insists difficult choices must be made, there is no such thing as a free lunch. I'm convinced by Dr Mason Gaffney and others' argument that a high-tax and high-service mixed economy is more optimal.

ZippyDDoodah says

It’s because you think you know what’s best for everyone else.

No, SS came about because it was empirically obvious that people were failing to save enough to get through their old age. Medicare, too, was a government response to a social need.

Liberal fascism, elitism, whatever, if it works better than the status quo ante I'm all for it. Ideology is for suckers.

Sorry 'bout that. MF's collect 10% of member's income so they can dictate how other people live. If I were the Queen of Everything, I'd change that. You should be able to marry whomever you want, and it doesn't affect me.

Unless you try to marry animals. Because I've heard the argument that if gays can marry each other, next you'll want to marry animals and mine are really cute and remain unmarried.

Ellen Degeneres had a routine about how marrying a goat would run into some snags, such as when you're reading the morning paper and the goat eats it. She obviously doesn't know her goats - because they eat shiny things like ads & coupon sheets. So unless you're a cheap gay goat-marrying person, your morning paper is safe. But I digress.

My goats aren't the people marrying type. So keep your hooves off my critters. That goes for chickens and all sorts of domesticated animals. And no getting them drunk on the wild turkey. If I see you attempting to convert my critters into the gay lifestyle (such as their caring about their appearance) I'll be looking for you. I'll give you a pass on my lesbian dog that not only humps a pillow on a daily basis but has a thing going on with the female neighbor dog... it's too late for her.

OMG! I just outed my pup! Now they'll never vote me the Queen of Everything!

I'll recommend your pups to this sanctuary. And everything's super, thanks for asking.

Good luck with your pets. Its so hard to keep them in line these days.

When conservatives/libertarians/teabaggers (whatever they're calling themselves this week) start complaining about some of these strange marriages I'll start taking whatever their latest sidetracking argument against gays less cynically:

"Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black" - by Tim Wise
http://cosmicnavellint.blogspot.com/2010/04/imagine-if-tea-party-was-black-tim-wise.html
"Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s, assorted handguns, and ammunition..."

kind of expected, but kind of also puts a good perspective on it and its an excellent compendium of some recent batshit antics by people who associate themselves with "the tea party".

And for those who won't bother to read the thing I'll skip ahead to the summary, which should make the point clear enough:
"And this, my friends, is what white privilege is all about. The ability to threaten others, to engage in violent and incendiary rhetoric without consequence, to be viewed as patriotic and normal no matter what you do, and never to be feared and despised as people of color would be, if they tried to get away with half the shit we do, on a daily basis."

cheers.

kind of expected, but kind of also puts a good perspective on it and its an excellent compendium of some recent batshit antics by people who associate themselves with “the tea party”.

So a 100% fictional webpost equates to a "good perspective" on those who associate with the Tea party, right? Brilliant reasoning. No doubt you don't see yourself as delusional..

OK guys come to your senses. If the opening paragraph is true about Somalia then it is an anarchy. Tea party folks want LIMITED government and far from an Anarchy. Our government is a LIMITED Constitutional Republic. Over the years Congress and Presidents have usurped the Constitution and the role of government. Some of the worst ones are "Dishonest" Abe Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Bush and Usurper Barry Soreto (aka OBAMA).

The Tea Party will be a force to be reckon with in 2010 and 2012 (likely 2016). If the establishment GOP does not change to get their support - they will be in the doldrums. Don't forget - the Tea Party also include conservative Dems. Actually, the Tea Party did not begin after Obama became president. It was re-instituted with the Ron Paul campaign in 2008.

For those who have wrath against the Tea Party must also be hateful of the original Boston Tea Party. You Liberals are unable to discern the times. Ron Paul in 2012! A poll shows he is neck to neck vs Obama. What does this tell you about Obama?

Ok, I forgot to ask... I'd forgotten the South Park link. I do think Prop 8 was ridiculous and a waste of time & energy. People should live their lives and stop worrying about how everyone else lives. I even love my secretly lesbian dog and her little "friend."

I do like the "if the tea party were black" theme. Food for thought.

Tea Party types were strongly opposed to TARP and the pork laden stimulus bill.

Tea Party “types” opposed absolutely none of Bush’s wasteful spending. They began protesting once Obama was elected, not a minute sooner, and everyone knows this.
If (and that’s a big if) the Tea Party manages to purge themselves of the racist, white supremacist, and militia elements, they stand a chance of gaining some traction with middle Americans. Personally, I don’t think they will be able to do so, which is why they will most likely remain a political sideshow of bad behavior.

(On Soapbox)

Did I forget to mention that I'm a Liberal who holds almost no credence in politically correct phraseology? Why is it that people get offended only when certain buzz phrases or words are written or said instead of being offended when there is actual bigotry or racism happening? Why is it that certain people are so focused on words that they forget to check how they act toward others and the judgments that they make about people?

"You people" was meant to be offensive. Get it? And no, it's not a racial or ethnic reference for the PC Police here. Sometimes, just because you see two words together that in another context sound like they're racist or bigoted doesn't mean that every time you see those words together there is something racist or bigoted afoot.

It's time that BayAryans learn to let go of their PC blinders and actually practice what they preach instead of monitoring spoken and written words so that they can be "outraged" without considering the context.

I'm fed up with BayAryans who use all of the PC lingo while telling me that they don't want any of the people I serve to live in THEIR neighborhoods. NIMBYism is alive and well here in the Bay Area. Socioeconomic bigotry, racism, classism, and other forms of hatred are practiced daily by some of the most PC versed people I know here. It disgusts me that these BayAryans hide their racism, classism, and socioeconomic bigotry behind PC language while they practice racism, classism, and socioeconomic bigotry in every facet of their lives.

By the way, I use the term "BayAryan" consciously since I've noticed that the biggest offenders tend to be white people who consider themselves "Liberal" but are adherents of some weird version of Ultra-Orthodox "Dogmatic Bay Area Ultra Liberalism" that is utterly foreign to the political or philosophical underpinnings of the adjective "Liberal." These are the same BayAryans who consider it a necessity to believe that the Palestinians are 100% innocent bystanders and the Israelis are 100% the aggressors (without actually knowing anything about the actual history of the conflict and deciding what must be good for the Middle East from comfortable arm chairs in the USA). They also tend to frown upon anyone who doesn't buy organic, recycle, compost, adhere to a strict vegan diet, blame tobacco smokers for everything from asthma in children living 10 floors away from someone who smokes to sunspots while persecuting said tobacco smokers with ever more restrictive laws and taxes while advocating for the right of cannabis smokers to toke anywhere they like, or any other "Sacred Cow" that they have decided is a "must" for anyone who is "enlightened." These BayAreans are best described as Dogmatic Extreme Bay Area Ultra-Leftists and they often look a lot like the Dogmatic Extreme Ultra-Conservative Right Wingers that they so vehemently despise.
