Sure, all that unemployment suddenly appeared after Jan 20.

yeah, we can be like Japan in the 1990s and have a stimulus plan every quarter. How well did that work? Oh, it didn’t.

14.7 million: People unemployed in June 2009, the most ever in records dating to 1948. Nice 1st 6 months on the job, Obama. Plus you piled on historic debt with crazy stimulus. Welcome to the 2nd Carter administration and total disaster.

Mountains of debt. Thanks, Obama. Stimulus has never worked. http://bit.ly/OSgDQ

“We want to end burdensome government regulation and rely on the marketplace as an efficient regulator of business activity,” Armey’s FreedomWorks website states.

Oh, yeah….like that worked so well the LAST 8 years!

Another day, another Dick.

Hey Tombaker, that’s just begging for a template with drag and drop images—the cyber version of paper dolls for the GOP.

comes with slogans!
hats!
threats of all kinds!

I have never seen anyone screw up anything as fast as Obama has done to the USA. Total idiot, needs to be removed from office before we are all dead or broke. This jerk really scares me.
===========================================================

Definitely not dealing with a full deck. Reported as stupid and abusive.

Obama could not screw up what was already screwed up by Bush.

This coming from the man who did more to destroy the Middle Class of America than anyone else? Piss off Dick.

Armey liked it back in the 90’s when everything was blooming and it looked like the sky was the limit — who was the one with blinders on, the one who wrote a book on money, the one who thinks the NEA is ridiculous, who is friends with Newt Gingrich, who wants a flat tax, and supported deregulation.

You are speculating that Gramm is guilty at this point. That website might have to eat their insinuation. If the guy is guilty, I won’t make any excuses for him.
Senator Phil Gramm may have played in their illegal activity
ZeitGeithner only paid up when he knew it would be uncovered. He is a crook. He only paid when he was busted to get the Obama job. This guy is some kind of genious? Can’t use Turbo Tax?

Come on.

Standards get results.

Has Dick ever gotten any of his Econmic Predictions right?
Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX), CNN, 8/2/93:
Clearly this is a job killer in the short run. The revenues forecast for this budget will not materialize; the costs of this budget will be greater than what is forecast. The deficit will be worse, and it is not a good omen for the American economy.

Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX), CNN, 8/2/93:
The impact on job creation is going to be devastating, and the American young people in particular will suffer a fairly substantial deferment of their lives because there simply won’t be jobs for the next two to three years to go around to our young graduates across the country.

Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX), 8/5/93:
The economy will sputter along. Dreams will be put off and all this for the hollow promise of deficit reduction and magical theories of lower interest rates. Like so many of the President’s past promises, deficit reduction will be another cruel hoax.

Rep. Dick Armey, CNN, 2/18/93:
I will tell you, this program will not give you deficit reduction. It will be a disaster for the performance of the economy.

Republicans are the cheats for hiding income in Switzerland and the Bahamas.

who are you talking about?
============================================================

Of the 52,000 UBS has been hiding there will be one big republican, Phil Gramm, and probably many more. I doubt that there will not be democrat crooks as well. My point to you is the difference in a tax error that is paid at a later date with penalties and those that are hidden in a foriegn land. You called Geithner a tax crooks, basically. Once he paid the taxes and penalties, he did what millions of citizens do each year. When the taxes haven’t been declared or paid, that is a crime, whoever it is.

He may not be a economist however unlike Bush who didn’t want to hear all the opinions Obama has been commended by his Republican Cabinet members for hearing everyone view, even calling them out if they are speaking. With that in mind one would think the man learns, and knows what’s going on.

Instead of the Republicant solution to cut taxes all the time, well if you do that then eventually you get to no taxes and by extension no government.

I would agree, he’s being totally illiterate about the economy, you can’t get much dumber than advocating more power to the federal reserve.

Yes, this is exactly what gave us the likes of Ken Lay, Bernie Ebbers, Jack Cunningham, Jack Abramoff and Bernie Madoff. How many hundreds of billions were they responsible for?

http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/Madoff_fraud_Democrats/2008/12/22/164523.html

Madoff and Ebbers were major Dem bribers/contributors. They knew how to get what they wanted…or didn’t want

Take your blinders off!!!!!Not just GOP.
