Second-By-Second Cost of the Bush Tax Cuts

Check it out HERE.  At the time of this posting, the cost was:

$1,035,245,530,000

For those of you who are numerically challenged, that's a little over ONE TRILLION dollars.

Think we got our money's worth?

Republican Jobs Bill

Koch-Cain

I just heard this from a caller on the Thom Hartmann program and had to pass it along.

We should get one of the Koch brothers to run for president and have Herman Cain as vice president.  We would then have the:

Koch/Cain Ticket.

Obama -- The New Reagan Republican

Reagan and Obama are in agreement.  Watch the video.

The Honest Reason

Tax Test

Take this test on the relationship between taxes and GDP that I picked up over at Angry Bear.  There are only 3 questions, and no tricks.

Elizabeth Warren Gets It

From What IS Working Check out the video in the link.

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody.
You built a factory out there—good for you! But I want to be clear.
You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for.
You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate.
You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.
You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did.
Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea—God bless. Keep a big hunk of it.
But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

I wish I could vote for her.

If They Were Teabaggers...

the MSM would be all over it.  Where is the supposedly "Liberal Mainstream Press" when it comes to the current protest on Wall Street?  Thousands of people have shown up, but narry a word in the press.

Shame!

Time For Scalia And Thomas To Go

Are these guys crazy?  They say executing an innocent man is not unconstitutional.  Watch out.  YOU may be next!

Republican Healthcare

Republican presidential candidates hate the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).  They would rather have people like Amy Ward declare bankruptcy and/or die.

At a tea party-sponsored debate this week, front-runners Rick Perry and Mitt Romney vowed to sign executive orders exempting states from enforcing it. Michele Bachmann bragged of working for its repeal in Congress.

  If either of them had been President, Amy Ward would have had to declare bankruptcy and most likely died.
