Obama Failure Thread Part IV

Since your candidate hasn't followed through on his?

 

I was about to suggest TP3 for his nickname, but probably TP^3 is a better fit...

 

The Machine-Generated Golden Oldies Just Keep On Coming!

 

Dude's basically baiting American Brummie at this point.

 

No, because I'm not naïve.

 

Keep trying. Multi quote is tricky.

 

What is amazing is that no one has mentioned anything that the Obama presidency has been a success?

 

So you want people making less than $10K a year to pay federal income taxes. Why? Whom does that help, exactly?

 

I understand how a bill becomes a law. Doesn't change the fact he hasn't passed one.

 

Depends on the context. Successful in many respects. Not successful when compared to, say, my last game of poker.

 

No - anyone making 17 grand and above.

How does it help to let the Bush tax cuts expire on those 250,000 and above when it nets 87 billion? The deficit is over a trillion. Where does the rest of the money come from? No one has answered that yet!

 

People who are sleeping with Doritos. Try to keep up, won't you?

 

What respects was it successful?

 

It is beating the hell out of the 2008 alternative, and the 2012 model alternative might even be worse.

 

No people sitting in their chair watching television with their head in a bag of Doritos.

 

Arresting the recession before it really bottomed out was probably a good thing. Though opinions differ, obviously.

How many people are in this chair?

 

Pissing off people like you.

 

Well, this is the Obama FAILURE thread. Can't you read?

But since you asked...there's a whole website about this:

Some quick research:

• Signed New START Treaty - nuclear arms reduction pact with Russia
• Repeal of DADT.
• Came out in support of marriage equality
• Signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, restoring basic protections against pay discrimination for women and other workers
• Launched recovery.gov to track spending from the Recovery Act, providing transparency and allowing the public to report fraud, waste, or abuse
• Provided the Department of Veterans Affairs with more than $1.4 billion to improve services to America's Veterans
• Signed the Children's Health Insurance Reauthorization Act, which provides health care to 11 million kids -- 4 million of whom were previously uninsured

Now, I know these are things that "help people" and are "fair" and "right" in the moral sense of the word...so they're probably gonna cause you an allergic reaction. But some of us voted for him hoping for these things and we're pretty damned pleased, thanks very much.

 

That is opinion. No facts.

Is it forty months of unemployment over eight percent.
16 trillion in debt.
23 million unemployed/underemployed.


I guess there aren't any good things like that - huh.

 

Oh, and I forgot implementing Shari'ia Law nationwide and takin' people's guns and stuff.

 

Why $17K? How is that a magic number?

So you're asking why not get 10% of what we need to close the revenue gap? I hope you don't run a business.
The reason why asking those who make 17K to pay federal income tax makes no sense is because: a) it makes taxes more regressive, b) it hurts the economy, and c) the amount realized is negligible. None of that holds true with the taxes on those making more than 250K.
