Boehner fires back at 'whining' White House

When has Boehner EVER been in touch with middle class Americans?
*
When has Boehner EVER been in touch with "cutting spending", when he went along with EVERY deficit spending increase submitted by Dubya?
*
Why is Boehner whining about stimulus spending, which is designed to help middle class Americans, when he had no complaints about the $750 billion TARP spending to bail out Wall Street?
*
Frankly, Boehner - STFU!

I thought all the libs here have been stating that Republicans secretly liked the stimulus. Ooooh "secret". That is like
stating Don Fitz secretly votes Republican.
I agree with Boehner, the stimulus is a disaster that has created debt and few jobs. Time to put the money back in the Fed.

By events, he means fundraisers. Duh. Hardly work for his country.

By events, he means fundraisers. Duh. Hardly work for his country.

The last few days members of the GOP and their leader Crying John Boehner have savagely screwed the unemployed, protected the bankstas, trashed Thurgood Marshall, implied rape and incest is part of God's plan, defended BP, threatened to either end social security or screw over 20 million plus people who have paid into the system for at least 20 years by making them wait until age 70 to see their benefits, and screwed homeless veterans with children.

Way to go Spray Tan Boehner, you're a real man of and for the people......NOT!

And speaking of whining....

I wonder if Mr. Boner (R-OH) is aware that effective today, there's a new 10% federal tax on tanning. And there will be additional taxes levied on cigarettes in the near future.

Most economists agree that what ails the U.S. economy are the so-called financial reforms, health care reforms, energy reforms and everything this shaministration is trying to foist upon us. It is this shaministration's policies that are holding the economy back and costing more American jobs.
But don't tell the man-child president that!

More childish gibberich from Boehner the Clown...

Bush's policies, that Boehner helped put in place, took the US from a surplus to a record deficit. The #1 thing Republicans are good at is hypocritical double talk and projection.

Boehner is just ticked that Health Care Reform passed and Americans are starting to like it, and he's probably even more upset by the fact that there are no subsidies for tanning salons.

"What I was referring to is what it would take to fix the problem. And fixing the problem would have meant doing something about reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ..."
.
... AND the FRB. Why is the FRB is such a sacred cow that no one wants to rein it in? The actions of the FRB have been part of the root cause of just about every financial downturn this country has seen in the last 100 years (including the Great Depression). We are basically guaranteed many more financial crises unless the FRB is made more accountable, and its money supply and inflation control operations become more transparent. It causes me no small wonder that someone could tape, Post-It!, or nail the answer to the heads of these politicians, and they still won’t get it.

"Boehner focused on the stimulus program in particular, calling it "the epitome of failure."

What a lying sack of garbage Boehner is. The stimulus saved this country from going into a full blown Bush Depression at the beginning of 2010, and we need another one right now.

These hypocritical Republicans still refuse to give credit to the Obama Administration or the Democrats who voted for the bill, and quietly praise the stimulating effect it has had on local economies in their home districts. There are 21 two-faced Republican hypocrites on record as praising the stimulus, but instinct dictates to intelligent people that the number is much greater.

There is video, written proof and photographs of 21 Republican hypocrites and group pictures of them holding up big ‘fake checks,’ where everyone is smiling, and praising the much-needed funds for ‘shovel ready’ projects, and for the jobs they will create and infrastructure they improve. The same lawmakers praise the stimulus as good policy. Some of these hypocrites wrote letters requesting stimulus money for their districts, and say they know the cash will create jobs and help the economy.

For some reason I believe you brain-dead liberals really do not know why this bill is being held up. It's not the unemployment benefits it is a pay off to the teachers union for a total of $10 billion. And another $10 billion in pork of which 99% was put in there by Democrats. Most leading financial scholars believe the stimulus (Liberal pork) package is a failure. And to date only 43% of the package has been used the rest will be used leading up to the 2011 election as a slush fund for Democrats. Since Obama has taken office is not head a month where he has not ran up a deficit no president in history has ever done that. Pending home sales dropped 30% more, new jobless claims rise again, and that debt will soon reach the highest level since World War II. This administration also wasted $100 million to pay electric bills for dead people, people in prison, and people living in million-dollar mansions. The majority of people know you cannot have financial reform without including reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. What is amazing is Obama and the liberals in Congress do not get it. But they will in November.

As Americans continue to lose their jobs and the economy is on the edge of tanking again our Democratic and Republican Leadership, including the President, and their staunch supporters on the Far left and Far Right continue to play their childish games of "whining." name calling and blaming some else for the country's problems. The country badly needs strong leadership but there seems to be none from either political party. America seems to be adrift with no one in control.

Fat and drunk,

The Stimulus saved us? Do you really believe that? The original intent of the Stimulus was to jump start the economy. When that didn't happen, BO et al. had to move the goal post. Invent an alternate justification for the Stimulus. Something that couldn't possibly be measured by any objective standard, e.g., what would have happened had the Stimulus not been passed. In other words, create a bogeyman, and then claim Obama rode in on his white horse and saved us from it. The idea is so ridiculous as to be childish, and sometimes I think posters like you are just kidding around. Nobody could really be that stupid as to swallow that BS.

It's not fair to blame Boehner for the stupid killing an ant with a nuclear bomb comment. There's a good chance he was drunk when he said it.

John,

I'd love to see the data on where "most economists agree" on reforms hurting the economy. Please provide a link.

Doogie,

Do you think the taxes on tanning salons and cigs will increase or decrease the sales of those services or products?

Drunk and Stupid,

The spending of the GOP four years ago was pitiful, but no way does it compare to hyper spending of the Obama Regime. The deficits under the Bush Administration averaged 2 - 3% of GDP, not the double digit deficits that the Obama Regime is accumulating

Boner, you dimwit.
It's not like killing an ant with a nuke; It's like killing the alien in Alien with a little ant poison button.
Or perhaps killing a charging rhino with a cap gun, or a pissed off grizzly with a bb gun, or,,, well you get it, dimwit.

I am physically sick today that 41Senators - all of whom are working and well enough off, as I am - are so mean hearted and cruel that they would deny unemployment benefits to millions of people who are scrimping and going hungry in this rich country of ours. To deny these people this basic kindness in the name of 'deficit fighting' is insane, especially since these are dollars they can no longer spend to help the economy grow and create jobs.

John,

I'd love to see the data on where "most economists agree" on reforms hurting the economy. Please provide a link.

Lately (LATELY? oh, well--give him the benefit of the doubt), Dolt has been pretty suspect about stuff where he has to provide links. "Most economists agree" could mean 51% didn't come out raging against the effect of reforms on government, could mean most of his buddies (and by "buddies" we COULD be talking about people who don't openly despise him OR people who are just as nuts as he is) think they're bad, could mean HE thinks it's all bad and therefore everybody (everybody who counts, anyway) must agree with him, could mean a poll taken at some wingnut website. Or it could mean "most of the economists who live in John D's world, where only Republicans are allowed to have an opinion and hold public office."

And -- probably -- there's a claim down the road that every single economist without exception who thinks the reforms are bad for the economy HATES HATES HATES all those who disagree with them.

Any way it plays out, I'm having a GREAT time seeing how Dolt's thought processes really unravel.

Oh Dopie Opie, don't you read the news?
First, just from TODAY's news:
Ahead of the announcement, Don Lee writes about some other economic indicators:

The number of pending home sales plunged 30% in May from April, to the lowest level since at least 2001, an industry group reported Thursday, reflecting a larger-than-expected fallout from the expiration of the federal tax credit for home buyers.
Also released Thursday, a closely watched index of factory activity suggested that manufacturing, which has been leading the economic recovery, may be losing momentum. In other reports that were more downbeat than expected, U.S. car sales dropped in June from May's level, and first-time jobless claims increased last week from the week before.

Thursday's reports -- although only snapshots of segments of the country's vast economy -- came against a background of other discouraging news from abroad, including Europe's continuing debt troubles and signs that even China's normally fast-growing economy may be slowing down.

And here is lots more stuff for you to digest (that is, if you can handle the truth, which I highly doubt):

Of course, it is difficult to understand how the unemployment rate can drop when 125,000 lost jobs. Perhaps cause so many have given up.
Once again, Dopie, YOU LOSE!

AHHHHHhhhh "Dopie Opie" rings again from the keyboard of John Dolt! Harbinger of entertaining insanity to come!

HAVE I lost, Dolt? Is there anything I've said that isn't true? (Well, actually, I DO wish I'd worded "51% didn't come out raging against the effect of reforms on government" as "51% didn't come out shouting that Obama's reforms is the only possible solution.") You DO seem to be unable to prove your allegations lately. If you can't prove that 80% of the country HATES liberals, it's reasonable to wonder whether "a majority of economists" is a reality, or if it's just a reality FOR YOU. I don't think I've overstepped things in the least by stating that fact. Sloppy logic is sloppy logic, after all -- no way to tell WHERE it's going to hit next. And for somebody who's so eager to jump right down to the level of those he deems "the worst humanity has to offer" it's a safe bet it'll happen again sometime soon.

Every one of your little rants is just brushwork on the big picture, Dolt. By all means -- keep 'em coming.

P.S.: Despite a whole lot of bad news (not entirely bad, though) not one of the articles you cited states that "most economists agree" that things aren't working. One DID mention "many experts" and I saw "some" also bandied about, but "many" isn't "MOST" (as exemplified by Republican voters in the last Presidential election).

Oh, Dolt, Dolt, Dolt. Sloppy, sloppy,sloppy. You really ought to watch out for what you say. First one little stitch, and then -- before you know it -- the whole seam's shot to H - E - Double Toothpicks! It's a slippery slope, you know!

No, it is not difficult to understand how unemployment figures go down when more jobs are lost. The Department of Labor gives us a false picture of the real unemployment figures by excluding from the total number of “unemployed” those who aren’t looking for work any more or who are desperately underemployed (and these numbers have risen in the same time interval). We can’t really accuse the DoL of lying, because they explicitly admit what they are doing. The deception, if any, comes from politicians and left-wing hacks who manipulate these figures to make the employment situation look better than it really is.

Dopie Opie, as you note, many experts was bandied about. I said most. Most could be 51 percent of economist. Now with "many," this link will take you to the free dictionary website:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/many

To help your amoeba-sized brain, they say many is a large indefinite number (which means expansive, perhaps even most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and another part of the definition say "the masses," for which the dictionary says a large amount or number.

I can see, DopieOpie that you are one of those who has difficulty with understanding the meaning of "is."

Now, Dopie, the last I checked the stock market was tanking again. And, while there were some private sector jobs gains, there below expectations. Well, expectations prior to yesterday when word was coming down that the numbers were bad.

You see, Dopie, most small- to medium-sized businesses are not hiring. They don't know what to expect with higher taxes, more regulations, health care reform, banking reform, cap and trade all coming down the lpike. So, they are holding back. That's a fact, Jack, er DopieOpie.

Yeah, you know what, though? The problem with that is you DIDN'T SAY "MANY ECONOMISTS", you said "MOST ECONOMISTS" According to the American Heritage Dictionary (2nd Edition), "MOST" is defined as: "1. Greatest in number, quantity, size, or degree. 2. The greatest part of ([as in] most people)." Note "greatEST" rather than just plain ole "great." "Most" is a more restrictive word than "many," which means that you can't prove just "many" but rather you HAVE TO PROVE "MOST" -- which you FAILED TO DO. Plain and simple, FAILED. Again. "Many" people voted for John Kerry in 2004 -- does that make him President???

And what are you trying to pull, saying that maybe many could be an "expansive number" and maybe even "most" maybe? That has to be the MOST PATHETIC attempt at an excuse I've seen yet yet. That's the kind of thing an 8-year-old tries to get away with! I came to the conclusion before that you're a fool, Dolt, but this grasping at straws is just plain EMBARASSING. I feel SORRY for you -- I really do!

None of the things you've given out as evidence is news to me, Dolt. And it's ALL beside the point of whether or not "most economists" agree, as you stated, or whether that's not the case at all. The economy can be in the crapper without "most economists" agreeing one way or the other what measures are working or not working.

This is all a simple matter of logic (of which I BELIEVE you've said that Conservatives supposedly possess in abundance, although perhaps you were gone the day they handed it out).

The bottom line is: if your facts say one thing, DON'T TRY TO TELL ME THEY SAY SOMETHING ELSE just because that's the way you want it to be.

Again, you can go now. You've proven disappointing and I have no more use for you.

DopieOpie, yes, "many" people did vote for Kerry in 2004. More people voted for Bush. As you point out, most is the greatest number. So, if Bush received 51 percent of the vote and John Kerry received 48 percent, then most voters voted for Bush, right?
You blew yourself up with your own argument, idiot!
If there are 12 donuts in a box and then seven of them were gone, then one could say with accuracy, "most of the donuts are gone."
Go back to the bottle, Dopie, it suits you better.

Posted by: John D | July 2, 2010 7:20 PM

That was EXACTLY my point, you brainless "bauphougn"! Do you have NO reading comprehension skills at ALL? I never made any claim whatsoever for "many" being as much as or more than "most" -- that was YOU -- rather, that if you were allowed your lame "many" COULD maybe be "most" lunacy, Kerry would BE President. Therefore, YOUR argument is false -- IDIOT. STILL false, and you're still WRONG, and you just went out of your way to POINT OUT you're wrong (as it were, you "blew yourself up with your own argument"). GOOD GOD you're clueless! Or are you now re-writing history in the classic Republican tradition, trying to say you were the one claiming "many" economists rather than "most" economists agreed all along? Or is it just that you can't REMEMBER that far back?

Anyway, Dolt -- thank you for proving I was right in the first place. Others can read, even if you can't.

And perhaps you need to LAY OFF the bottle for awhile -- at least until your head clears (if it ever does, and assuming there was ever a time when it WAS clear to begin with).

Ah... folks...? take a deep breath and try and be civil towards each other. An exchange of ideas in very good. But, you folks are sounding like 6th graders on a playground, trying to hurt without making sense. Follow me?
We're adults, right?
