Stimulus 2
 

Here it comes..... BOHICA!

This Fool of a President's speech has become background noise..... Good luck in 2012.

You're an expert in background noise.

Gosh, now I remember why I stopped posting in politics forums.

Sometimes the people you least expect can be arseholes.

Merc, I'm curious what you don't like about the plan?

My French leaves much to be desired - almost as much as my understanding of Merc when he goes all ditzy on us.

Anyhow, I actually tried to listen to parts of the Prez's job speech - kept getting interrupted by hapless souls wanting to check into the Casa a la Bates. I liked the part about payroll taxes being cut in half for outfits that hire new workers or raise current workers' salaries. Surely, even the 'pubs can't object to that (yes, Merc, I know you will be the exception - you don't even have to tell me in French).

I'm going to bring that up to the owner of this dive, Norman - I mean Bill - when he gets back from his latest jaunt to Cali. This place brings in an incredible $288,000/year. Carmen left the tax reporting forms out once, and I sneaked a read through them. Yeah, those folks in the upper tax percentiles sure create all these wonderful jobs for the rest of us. We get minimum wage no matter what - never any overtime for our 14 hour days, no holiday pay even at Christmas, etc. Yeah, Norman is a real "producer", alright - for himself. The only people who get above minimum wage is the head of housekeeping (I think Norman is afraid of her) and Motel Maintenance Man who pads his accounts. Yet, we're all happy for the work because there is NO work in my remote little town.

And I imagine that a significant percent of workers across the country are working at a lower wage than what they deserve and/or working part time when they need full time work. Maybe that tax reduction thing will help - if the Republicans don't throw temper tantrums and refuse to agree to ANYTHING or even try to come up with an alternative that might fall somewhere within the realm of possibility.

800 billion more in the hole. This god damm fool is going to be the end of us as country...

But Ali, Glatt is right. Merc excels at extreme right-wing background noise. He never comes across at trying to be reasonable, he only comes across like he is selling the propaganda.

My propaganda is my own, it knows no party. Anyone but Obama in 2012! :D

You fail to have the credentials to judge your assessment. So along we go.....

Merc, when it comes to politics, you are a one trick pony. You cant deny that. Well at least here.

Pico, I think everyone has a right to their own opinions. Even glatt. I was just surprised that he would say such a thing. Normally I consider him to be the voice of reason, not dismissal.

:lol2: You don't define me, I define me. Republickins suck as much as Demoncrats. Obama sucks the most. And his bullshit speech tonight proves how much he sucks... Make Obama a One Term President in 2012! :lol:

At the same time, just because Merc (appears) to have only one opinion, doesn't mean he doesn't have a right to say it. ;)

As usual the devil is in he details. Unfortunately everything has a cost. Until we know where the money is coming from for this next "stimulus" I'll reserve judgement.
I'm relatively sure his base is pleased. I'm equally certain that the R's are united in their disagreement with him.

I gotta give him credit though. This President can deliver a quite moving speech. That is something far different than the last one.
