.... is why you should not trust the CBO.

So here are the facts they have to share:

1. Suspending tax increases for everyone would grow the GDP 1.5%
2. Suspending tax increases for all but the wealthy would grow the GDP 1.25%

Their headline?

"Tax hike on wealthy won't slow growth"

What a crock of sh*t that is. At a time when we need to do whatever makes the growth grow best, we get CBO studies that support the hack in chief. If suspending ALL the increases gives us an extra .25%, f*cking do it!

But then I'm reminded of Barry's comments 4 years ago, when confronted with the fact that raising rates lowers revenue. His answer was, "its not about revenue, its about fairness".

And now the market is crashing, not even a week after re-election and companies are revealing the massive layoffs they were poised to make.

Its gonna be a rough 4 years folks. I keep passing up the chance to climb on the "doom and gloom" bandwagon, and I think we can survive this blow the blue just dealt us, but its going to be a rough go.

I am ALMOST to the point of saying OK FINE. Go ahead and give the community organizer everything he wants. Raise taxes on the "evil rich", and any other foolishness he has in store. Just do, lets just go full bore liberal. Boehner can just go to sleep for 2 more years, just let Obama call all the shots. Let's see where we are in 2 years of Obama's America.

Doom and gloom are only logical feelings about what is happening and will happen. It's not something to apologize for if it's true. I share the sentiment of let's just crash this thing already so the BS will be fully exposed and we can start doing the things we need to do to become prosperous again. The reelection of Obama should hasten that.

you need to stop believing the BS Fox has been feeding you

Here are a few facts to help you get your head out of your a$$

I think Megyn Kelly gets it but Karl Rove still does not

“In case you missed the whole thing, back in June at a CNN Republican primary debate, the presidential candidate was asked about his stance on FEMA by debate moderator John King:
FEMA is about to run out of money, and there are some people who say, ‘Do it on a case-by-case basis.’ And there are some people who say, ‘You know what, maybe we’re learning a lesson here that the states should take on more of this role.’ How do you deal with something like that?
To which Romney responded that he didn’t believe disaster aid should come from the federal government:
Absolutely. And every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better.
As expected, this comment is now drawing a lot of criticism after Hurricane Sandy. And rightly so.”

The budget doesn't involve Romney anymore Telco, in fact it never involved Romney. So take your fvcking BS about Bush and now Romney and STFU. It's old and it's tired. This is Obama's problem to fix. He has had 4 years of policy making and shaping America and he's going to have 4 more. That means you can't say a fvcking thing about Romney anymore because he's never even been the POTUS. Wake the f*** up already guy.

With that said, YOU pop your head out of your a$$. I'll be waiting to hear the sonic fvcking boom when it happens.

Your guy has the chance to make some changes and fix the budget. He'll have a total of 8 years to do so. I'm betting he doesn't even come close to a balanced budget let alone making a single payment towards the principle of the debt. I think it will be quite the opposite...more debt accrued.

Your pandering is pathetic.

In case you missed it, 3 million republicans stayed home. You didn't win by any mandate my friend. You won because conservative Americans conceded the win to a known evil rather than an unknown.

Tossed out?

Before dreaming about that Rachel Maddow - Anderson Cooper threeway during your morning nap did you somehow imagine that the 22nd Amendment had been repealed?

Well, I understand Ann Romney is quite happy that she won't have to move into that dreadfully small house over there on Pennsylvania Ave.

What to say when your promises are not fulfilled after four years?
