I'm Glad you allowed yourself to Actually listen to him. He's the Only candidate, that can/will Make the tea party 'Walk The Talk', and he can do it without all the childish and FRIVOLOUS Obama DRAMA that HypocriteLoser politicians can't get enough of, because they have Nothing really intelligent to say. And the people that believe that Trash are derelicts.
That's why, it's 'Buddy Roemer' OR it WILL BE 'President Obama' Again! HAH!
NeilMacCallister 08/20/2011 12:55 AM Report
Hah! ..I (and the Tea Party) don't care if it is Buddy Roemer, Richard Pryor, or Milton Berle!! ..just stop this suicidal "blood letting" of the American economy which has already gotten us so weakened we can't even get ourselves up off the curb and back to work!
Barack Obama is that 55mph cop on the freeway who shuts down all progress-to-work for 6 miles behind him!
He HATES to see anyone else with a job!!!!!
"All money is mine", he says!
The Tea Party (.."Taxed Enough Already") is saying "No, Mr. President, ..all money is NOT yours!"
Yes, ..I would vote for Buddy Roemer, ..he has already shown the guts and the brains to agree with the Tea Party wisdom!
doodah 08/16/2011 02:58 PM Report
If I am wrong about the Tea Party, then they would embrace and adopt the PRIORITIES that 'Buddy Roemer' has brought forth. But they don't and won't, because they're ALL FAKES, PHONYS, AND FRAUDS. EVERYONE LAST ONE OF THEM. ABSOLUTELY
doodah 08/16/2011 02:40 PM Report
The Tea Party is playing good, righteous (albeit Foolishly- Naive and ONE-WAY THINKING) people like you, Neil, for SUCKERS. If the Tea Party has their way, Completely and Unchallenged, it will be harder, than it already is, for you to make a buck and provide for your family. People just won't have the money to pay you, and the fences will have to remain broken. But, you will be able to take soltice in knowing that the government is 'balancing' their finances just like you do. By Golly. Finally, Hip Hip Hooray! Let's Hear it for the Tea Party. the same Tea Party that collects big money from Wall Street and Bankers Lobbyists to keep the system skewed in their pockets; Easier to keep (And Steal) other peoples money, and suck the life blood out of those TRYING TO MAKE IT (i.e. Small Business) so those who ALREADY MADE IT (Big Corporations, Wall Street, Financial-Services etc.) can Keep it that way with minimal effort (as they sit on their pots of gold, in swiss bank accounts, waiting to exploit cheaper than dirt labor whereever they can find it; maybe if they squeeze your balls hard enough, they can get it from you at about 3 - 4 dollars an hour.
But your probably really just some smart ass Wall Street banker, aint chya Neil.
Republicans are NOT the party of small business and middle-class Americans ANYMORE. Boehner has lost touch and has his head up his ass. Todays repugnantcans have Nothing to do with what Reagan did in the 80s. So have fun with your irrelevant and redundant statistics. They don't mean .
NeilMacCallister 08/16/2011 01:35 AM Report
doodah, ..you only hate the Tea Party because they would prefer to see someone other than the credit-abusive Barack Obama in charge of our childrens' national debt.
Like an Aztec, ..you think it is okay to sacrifice human life to a governmental figurehead.
I value my own daughter more than that.
doodah 08/14/2011 08:28 PM Report
... like the Tea Party (in general)
doodah 08/14/2011 08:27 PM Report

doodah 08/14/2011 08:22 PM Report
And keeping track of REDUNDANT facts, ..is just so Wingnut!

NOT keeping track of facts, ..is just so Democrat!

Senator Schumer, ..I won't argue 2000-'02, ..but '08 to present is yours!
NeilMacCallister 08/14/2011 03:54 PM Report
P.s., ..Yes, the debt/deficit pair DID both go down for the '90 to '94 Dem control of House and Senate, ..but that dual-control started in '86, ..and the '86 to '94 shows an increase in deficits, ..Yes, after a lowering of taxes, ..but the only time of complete stretches where debt/deficits fell, and taxes stayed at least flat, were when Reps had H&S.
Pointedly, from 2002 to 2006, when Reps had both H&S, and the Presidency, ..all three of these graphs: debt, deficits, and taxes ..all came down!
The stock market (money in the private sector, where it allows job creation) also expands with Rep control of House and Senate, ..the only downturns (..2000-02 and 2008-present) occur when Dems control the Senate.
Is that just a coincidence Mr. Schumer?
NeilMacCallister 08/14/2011 03:14 PM Report
Really? ..Sharkie?? ..the CBO said "70% by this year's end"????
The 'Debt Clock' reads our current debt at $14.6 trillion, and our GDP at $14.8 trillion. That calculates to 99% ..RIGHT NOW!!!
see: http://www.usdebtclock.org/
You see, CBO actually stands for 'Congressional Budget Obfuscators'.
***
If you want the truth, overlay the graphs of US Debt and US Deficits for the last 40 years with a time line of party control in the House and Senate. You will discover that our debt and deficits both go down in times when Republicans control both the House and the Senate, ..and ONLY when Republicans control the House and the Senate!
This is true even though the tax rate has stayed remarkably FLAT!
You want jobs? ..You want freedom from debt?? ..hire Republicans! ..They have a proven track record!!
Paul Krugman's Democrat "party" has only costly and time-wasting leviathen-sized "dreams" for your nightly retirements.
Good luck, Sharkie, ..keep swimming, ..and enjoy the warm waters the Democrats stream out to you.

By the end of this year, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the federal debt will reach roughly 70 percent of gross domestic product(GDP)—the highest percentage since shortly after World War II. (Not good but interest rates are still low on this debt.)
The sharp rise in debt stems partly from lower tax revenues and higher federal spending related to the recent severe recession. However, the growing debt also reflects an imbalance between spending and revenues that predated the recession. (Hello, this is the CBO talking! Yes, much earlier Republicans, please take responsibility.)
To keep deficits and debt from climbing to unsustainable levels, policymakers will need to increase revenues substantially as a percentage of GDP, decrease spending significantly from projected levels, or adopt some combination of those two approaches. (What dreamers over at the CBO.) Making such changes while economic activity and employment remain well below their potential levels would probably slow the economic recovery. (Yes, and what would this cost. Paul Krugman says we are already losing a trillion in lost revenues from the unemployed.)
However, the sooner that medium- and long-term changes to tax and spending policies are agreed on, and the sooner they are carried out once the economy recovers, the smaller will be the damage to the economy from growing federal debt. (So time is a factor. Hmm we better get another committee to study time.)
Earlier action would permit smaller or more gradual changes and would give people more time to adjust to them, but it would require more sacrifices sooner from current older workers and retirees for the benefit of younger workers and future generations. (Those guys at the CBO are all comedians.)

No! ..Mr.Rose!! ..Stop throwing your confetti of phrases between the American viewer and President Obama's actions!!
The White House has not "tried to pivot toward jobs, over and over"..
They never cared!!! ..all they have done is pile tax-threats and regulatory handcuffs onto both American people and American businesses, ..and then "stimulated" those downed-and-bound bodies with TASERs of debts lest they forget to continue supporting the Feds!!!!
It is not just "The Market" that is in turmoil, ..it is anyone and everyone with ten-bucks still in their pocket!

How's your job security looking, Mr. Rose? ..as good as Tim Geithner's?
doodah 08/11/2011 04:16 PM Report
That's right Mr. Mant, whatever happened to good ole 'buy low, sell high'?; it's not brain surgery for crying out loud. That's what 'Louis Ruykeiser' would have said (RIP), who, by the way must still be spinning around in his grave, after what the punks in his beloved financial-services industry have done, especially after all the business he brought them. I'd like to punch them all out, on his behalf. They disgust me.
REMant 08/11/2011 11:11 AM Report
Mid-2013, I believe, which was still too long for three cmte members. One should really be suspicious of any contact between Fed and administration. We, of course, do not need to "stimulate" this economy. The stock mkt ought not make much difference to the avg person or even the avg corp. That it does is due to the influence asset appreciation has assumed in their affairs, but assets appreciate only because of monetary inflation, and that's what "stimulate" really means. Most ppl think what goes up must come down, but for Keynesians it's become what goes down must come up, and they've tried their darnedest to make that happen. I doubt very much that "fear" has anything to do with "instability." And I doubt there's any real uncertainty. In any case the stock mkts are not the economy, and, even if we could "do something" about them, we ought not. The president once, a long time ago now, said something like that, as FDR did, but seems to have, like FDR, forgotten about it. What he and the Fed as well really ought to worry about is the availability of solid earnings to increase real productivity, and thus employment.
