It’s That Damn “Ticking Tax Bomb”!

OMG!  It is coming!  The horror that is taxes!

Soon the Bush tax cuts will be allowed to expire….you see they were only meant to last until 2011….so if they are allowed to expire then the Obama admin can raise needed revenue without having to pass new taxation legislation…..

And of course the Repubs have lit into this with both feet….calling it a tax increase and a deficit expander and the death of any economic recovery……but the best slogan they have come up with to describe the end of the Bush tax cuts is…….”a ticking tax bomb”….this would be a clever….yes i said it would be clever…..except for one small thing…..the term “a ticking tax bomb” was first used by the UK’s Cameron on March of 2010……I mean the GOP cannot even come up with their own slogan to try and demonize the Obama proposal.

The is sad on so many levels……I mean the GOP has no new ideas they have to resurrect the Reagan supply side economics proposal….they have nothing to reform social security other than the tired old “privatization” thing……they have NO idea how to solve the deficit other than tax cuts….and then they do not even have an original thought for a slogan blasting the expiration of the Bush Tax cuts…like I said sad on so many levels……..it would not be so bad if it was a simple slip of the tongue….but it is not…it is a talking point that all the talking heads are using when they step in front of the camera.

I find it so sad, yet so indicative of the whole out of touch label that has been given to the GOP.

Issa Is An Ass!

From the VOMITORIUM

Welcome to the VOMITORIUM,  place for political regurgitation, and in this case it is Republican regurgitation…….meaning political bullshit that does NOTHING to help the country only to further some political obstructionism as a way to divert the voter from the real story……and the GOP has become masterful at this tactic…..

We have the dipsticks that yell at the president….we have mental midgets accusing the Dems of creating death panels…..we have the mental deficient that questions citizenship….we have……you get my drift…….none of these sideshows does anything to improve the situation in the US….but that is just what the spin doctor ordered…..this ploy is to bring up some minor irritant that takes the air out of real issues and focuses on BS…….focus on anything that will divert the attention from problems that truly need to be solved…….

But one of the biggest role players in our Congress is the Honorable representative from San Diego, CA….one Issa!

This guy has spent his time in Congress making work for bureaucrats….wasting the people’s money….and being a complete “tool”……

Rep. Darrell Issa is out with a report (please read his report) this morning claiming that the Obama administration has engaged in an unprecedented amount of illegal propaganda.

Issa, the top Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, made the request to the Government Accountability Office Monday following his own investigation. Issa accuses the White House of, among other things, using the National Endowment for the Arts and the Department of Health and Human Services to press organizations and members of Congress to support President Barack Obama’s health care plan.

This is a utter waste of time and resources….maybe the people in Issa’s district should demand a refund on the salary he is paid for he is obviously NOT doing the business of the country but rather attempting to play political games that benefits NO one but him.

The people of his district really need to question this dicks motives….they will not…they will continue, like so many other Americans, to let self-serving a/holes represent them and blame their non action on others…….America can live without morons and demi-gods….what we need are statesmen and there are NONE in Washington….
