‘Best Moment Ever’ or ‘Over the Top’? CNBC Anchor Takes Dem. Senator to Task for Fiscal Cliff Debates

December 23, 2012 at 2:12pm

In reply to ao6464.

At 2:17 in the video, CNBC quotes Sen. Cardin as saying “Social Security has not added to the deficit.”

This talking point has been repeated by many Democrats lately, and is a complete lie. Social Security’s outflows have exceeded its inflows by $100-150 billion per year since summer of 2010. So any claims that Social Security is not contributing to the deficit are either ignorant or dishonest.

On page 10 of the 2012 Trustees Report for Social Security, it says: “In 2011, Social Security’s cost continued to exceed both the program’s tax income and its non-interest income, a trend that the Trustees project to continue throughout the short-range period and beyond. The 2011 deficit of tax income relative to cost was $148 billion, and the projected 2012 deficit is $165 billion.”

Where is the MainStreamMedia on these repeated falsehoods? Covering up the truth as usual? (of course they are)

At least Maria slammed Cardin for his dishonest talking point about Dems wanting a “balanced” approach without any real spending cuts. She should have corrected his Social Security lie, too — before CNBC put it up on the screen.

President Obama Explains How the Economy ‘Grows’: ‘Roads and Bridges…’

August 2, 2012 at 12:00pm

“Obama explains how the economy grows…” WHAT??

Since Obama has never run any kind of business in his life — not even a lemonade stand — what qualifies him as an expert on the economy?
Spending $50 billion-plus of taxpayer money to create temporary “green jobs” that ended when the companies went bankrupt?
Spending $65 billion of taxpayer money to bailout GM — so they can build 70% of their cars in other countries? (America’s Outsourcer In Chief)
Borrowing $1.3 trillion-plus year-after-year to support his cronies, fundraisers and voters?

No economy can have real growth when following the failed economic policies of Karl Marx. That’s why our national debt is out of control, and why the real Obama Economy is a total disaster. Obama is a FAILED president who is turning the US into Greece.
Sarah Palin Takes on Health Care During ‘The Five’ (And You’ll Want to Hear Her Advice for George Stephanopoulos)

In reply to TRONINTHEMORNING.

Beckel is a typical liberal Dumbocrat: he doesn’t know any real facts, doesn’t need to, just reads his morning email from the DNC telling him what to think — and what to say on Fox.

Gov. Palin is right about ObamaCare’s “death panels.” Of course, the legislation doesn’t call them death panels, just like it didn’t say that ObamaCare is a huge tax increase on the middle class. But the IPAB would surely become a death panel when they start running out of money, which is inevitable. That’s why Obama hired Rahm Emanuel’s brother — the famous “medical ethicist” — to help decide who gets treatment and who doesn’t (i.e., who lives and who dies). THAT’S A DEATH PANEL, BECKEL.
Moody’s Blues: Major Agency Threatens to Downgrade U.S. Credit Rating

July 14, 2011 at 1:04pm

In reply to awall1231.

So Moodys says the US credit rating will NOT be damaged if the US goes deeper in debt?

Moodys ?? — the irresponsible morons who gave sub-prime mortgages AAA ratings? Their unbelievable incompetence/stupidity helped collapse the economy! If there isn’t a law against that level of stupidity, there should be. Why does anyone listen to them — and why are they still in business?

So the inability to pay back debt without monetizing/hyperinflation is a good thing? What are they smoking? We need to find out what college(s) those Moodys morons went to and get refunds for all those parents who mistakenly thought their kids were getting a good education. They obviously graduated dumber than a six grader.
‘Fertility Management’: Al Gore Calls on Women to Have Fewer Children…to Curb Pollution

June 22, 2011 at 8:22pm

Fewer children? Is this just typical liberal/progressive stupidity? Or another phase of the Cloward-Piven/Stephen Lerner plan to wreck the economy so they can implement their dream government (Marxism)?

Social Security is already broke because the number of workers per retiree has dropped from 16 to 3. And these morons want people to have fewer children? Yeah, one or two workers per retiree is a great idea! That would cause massive deficits, way bigger than the ones that are now threatening to destroy the US. Of course, no one in the media thought of this little problem while they were basking in the glow of AlGore’s brilliance.

MORE PROOF THAT LIBERALISM MAKES PEOPLE STUPID.
