$3.5 Trillion Spending Plan Approved by Congress with zero Republican support - Polidicks

[QUOTE=massn7;14468684]i fail to see how spending trillions is going to help us at this point[/QUOTE] money flow chart! GOV>Private sector(banks)>People>Random bullshit we don't need made by chinese babies> Their overlords in the united states>People(paycheck)>gov(taxes) and we keep the other 70%. See? we just made 7 trillion dollars!

[QUOTE=Canesfan;14460033]You DO realize that Congress doesn't change because of Presidential elections, right? Not only that, but the President couldn't have even introduced this to Congress. This EXACT same thing could've happened under Bush, especially if they managed to convince enough to get around a possible veto. So yea. Nice to meet your parents, by the way.[/QUOTE] Nothing stops Obama from going "Hey buddy ole pal of mine, would you mind introducing this to congress, thanks"

[QUOTE=D-Fens;14473653]If Obama really didn't want all that petty crap in it, he'd veto the thing. He's the President, but he still has to play by the rules of party politics. I have a feeling there's a LOT of Democrats in Congress that are only as loyal as the steady stream of pet projects they're given. Republicans too, of course. I like what the man's doing but I have no illusions about the fact that he still has to answer to the same crap as any other politician.[/QUOTE] because the republicans aren't cooperating he needs all their votes to pass the package, which needs to be passed. Ideally there would be less pork but he needs to start running these guys from their committees.

Regardless of whatever his personal feelings about pork are, he knows that it's necessary to keep his whole party in line. The Democrat's majority isn't so great that a few mercenary assholes can't rain on his parade by withholding their vote because their town didn't get another dog park.

republicans are a bunch of angry stupid faggots who are bitter about losing the election

[QUOTE=Endzone;14469624]That's because you don't know anything and Jesus hates you.[/QUOTE] i see

That's because the Republican party is a bunch of greedy people that think everyone can go fuck themselves and want to help no one. Republicans: Spend money on nothing Democrats: Spend money on everything

Fuck yeah go Obama. Get rid of them republican fucks. [b]Edit[/b] [QUOTE=Penis Colada;14473936]republicans are a bunch of angry stupid faggots who are bitter about losing the election[/QUOTE] Also, true dat.

[QUOTE=InsanePyro;14475876]That's because the Republican party is a bunch of greedy people that think everyone can go fuck themselves and want to help no one. Republicans: Spend money on nothing Democrats: Spend money on everything[/QUOTE] No that's nothing like what it really is. Republicans: Spend as much as possible, make government as big as possible Democrats: Spend as much as possible, make government as big as possible Not too hard really.

[QUOTE=Speed V2;14475924]No that's nothing like what it really is. Republicans: Fgts Democrats: Kewl [/QUOTE] Fixed Waitin' for my hating party.

Yay, people who support the two party system. Republicrats need to be done away with. Both of them are largely the same. Why isn't their a major third party? Because the Republicrats won't allow it. Guys, stop being tools of the system.

Because of this, every American child born from today on is already in a 50,000 dollar debt. My great-great-great grandchildren will be paying for the mistakes that Obama is making now.

Besides, I'm rather pay off a large deficit using new and improved infrastructure than a still pretty large deficit with shitty, collapsing, Eisenhower-era infrastructure.

[QUOTE=nolancamp2;14456160]Those Republicans are stupid. They automatically assume left = the work of Satan.[/QUOTE] Well, a lot of the extreme left and secular progressives are simply demons. Liberals can lead to a lot of degeneracy, plain and simple.

The real ones who need to pull us out of this hell hole are the middle-of-the-road democrats. Obama veered off to the left and is starting a class war. Hello Marxism.

[QUOTE=Conscript;14480740]i suppose it's better then letting the economy run itself into the ground and not be rebuilt until your great-great-great grandchildren are around.[/QUOTE] Yeah, instead of letting the failures be done away with and let a new generation rise from the uterus. We don't need competition and natural selection. What we need is this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0WaxMn3N8I[/media]

Kids stay out of politics. You don't get it as much as some of these people on this website do and you look like an idiot trying to argue with them. (not trying to say I'm one of the people that knows btw)

That's almost too much money,like jeez, with 3.5'trillion you could buy a good chunk of Canada.

So if something CAN get through congress without any republican support, why isn't healthcare doing it?

[QUOTE=lolwutdude;14456182][url]http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/[/url] I think.[/QUOTE] love that website it pretty much shows what a bunch of retards the republicans really are, heck i bet they dont even believe the shit they spout out themselves!

[QUOTE=thisispain;14466899]Tea party? They need a leader, and none of the prominent Republicans right now are anywhere close to being able to capture the undecided voter.[/QUOTE] That's a reason the Tea Parties are forming. Both parties suck. Bush was essentially horrible for most of his term. Obama who was thought to be the saviour, is not turning out to be so. People are completely dismayed by the whole two-party system and are moving on.

How about you Americans get public health care like Australia and shut up. There are long waiting times on some operations, but private is available. System works while our government can keep the doctors happy.
