    Jobs bills in the House?
    Such as?

    The rest of that post is nothing but party line BS, so it will be ignored as such.

    I should post something like your irrational suggestion of an 80% tax on capitol gains? Proving that you are blissfully unaware that almost ALL union retirement programs are DEPENDENT on the stock market. As are millions of middle class 401K's. You knock party line (And I'm NOT a Republican, NEVER WAS) and post misinformed idiocy.

    It is your kind of "thinking" that wants a 50% tax on corporations, and then declares they are unAmerican for going offshore.

    Irrational and illogical, but liberalistic.

    How will the public school system get sorted out? There are vested leftist interests that would be harmed by any change to the status quo.

    You see public education is your side's achilles heel. It can't be reformed, and it can't continue along the existing trajectory. There is no way out for your side on this fundamental issue. Each generation following the Baby Boomers is progressively less well educated. The reservoir of human capital is running dry.

    You have no idea about how to resolve the problem in public education. To try to solve the problem would require leftists to fight an internal civil war to overthrow the teachers unions. Leftists won't do this.

    you don't know what you're talking about, i never reported you


    the problem with you is that you think it can't get worked out

    if everyone just sat back and whined about everything, nothing would get done

    luckily there are people around that are working to solve the country's problems

    I don't believe you.

    How can it get worked out?

    Yeah, I know...I saw the movie version.

    Can you name any conservatives who are doing so?

    I have a question for President Barack Obama and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: If former President George W. Bush was 98 percent right, does that mean you're 98 percent wrong?

    In the weeks leading up to the November election, then-candidate Barack Obama bombarded the airwaves with a campaign ad claiming that the Bush-era tax cuts led to the economic crisis. On Dec. 5, he told the Business Roundtable we must "make sure that 98 percent of Americans don't see a single dime in tax increases next year."

    For years, Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi cast the Bush tax cuts as "tax cuts for the rich." If that's true, then allowing them to expire would only impact the rich, right?

    In a press conference last week, Pelosi accused Republicans of holding the middle class "hostage" and called for passage of "middle income tax cuts." For the better part of the past decade, she called them tax cuts for the rich, but now, suddenly, they're "middle income tax cuts?"

    Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi can't have it both ways.

    The most telling piece of selective rhetoric is when Democrats suggest tax rates for the 2 percent should return to the Clinton-era tax rate of 39 percent. But if the Clinton-era rates are so great and the Bush tax cuts are so bad, why aren't Democrats making the case that all rates for all people should return to the Clinton-era tax rate? Because if they did, it would result in a tax increase on the middle class and the working poor in America.

    You mean stop offering facts because they make "craftsman" look Ignorant. Well sorry the truth makes you look so bad.

    You don't even know how 401K's work, so a lecture from you is laughable.
    Of course it fails to answer the question posed to you.
    What jobs bills from the House?

    Deflect all you can, make up all you can including words but avoid the truth.
    Typical con.

    That and what they called 'jobs bills' were in fact more tax cuts for the rich.

    It is completely unfair of you to use facts, logic and truth. Liberals have no use or understanding of any of those things. The really sad part is that the Democrat Party is absolutely kicking the Republican Party's ass all over the place. The Democrats should NOT have scored a point in 6 years of malfeasance on their part. Yet it is the Republican Party that is being shut out, And they seem to go out of their way to help the Democrats whup them. We may be living in the most ridiculous time in the history of the USA. Up is down, far is near, black is white (not people) left is right, go is stop. Weird.

    Hey, I have a question for you dujac. It concerns the new bipartisan compromise on tax rates, unemployment, deductions and credits. The legislation is reported to raise about $60 billion per year in new revenues, but that still leaves a budget deficit of between $900 billion and a trillion dollars for the fiscal year.

    Do you think there will be new tax legislation coming out of the new Congress to be sworn in tomorrow which would raise more revenue in an effort to reduce the budget deficit?

    We reap what we sow and we let the *******s inundate our universities and the media, now they have created a whole generation of moronic useless sheep that will believe anything the media and or their professor tell them. You can’t find better example than the fiscal cliff fiasco, I mean really we just had the Democrats fighting for the Bush tax cuts that when they were passed in 2003 or 2004 the media told the *******s that they were only tax cuts for the rich, now in 2013 suddenly these are tax cuts we need for the middle class. So now what we have is the democrats have embraced all of Bushes policy’s that supposedly brought about our economic destruction save that Obombya has carried a 1 trillion dollar deficit in lieu of Bushes 500 Billion and the sheep don’t even realize what just happened. Fact is they were either duped during the Bush years, or duped now, and they don’t even know it, understand it, or quite frankly even care.

    Just The Facts Folks!

    All you have to do is believe in common sense and logic if that was the case we wouldn't have the likes of Obombya, Pelosi or Reid intrenched in our government.
