Obama To Draw Sharp Distinction From Republicans On Budget

First topic message reminder :

[He] will call for shrinking the nation’s long-term deficits by raising taxes on wealthier Americans and requiring them to pay more into Social Security, drawing a barbed contrast with a Republican plan to save money by deeply slashing Medicare, Medicaid and other domestic spending.

The "wealthy" do not create jobs. What the wealthy do is contribute mightily to Republican campaigns.

DEMAND creates jobs and only DEMAND creates jobs. Why do 9 business out 10 FAIL their first five years? It is NOT a lack of investment. It is a lack of DEMAND

recall how many jobs were destroyed when Bill Clinton raised taxes on all those "job creators"!

NONE as a matter fact 22 million jobs were created.

GOOD GRIEF!!! You cannot have it both ways. If you want to bash one party more than another, that's OK, but don't bash them and then turn around and beg for their support. We are all in this together and need help, but all the basing does not help. Turn it back a couple of notches.

By the way the crewof42 are the only ones fighting for the unemployed and they are all Ds. Just a fact, and I have given the Ds plenty of hell trust me.

Seems to me you can't get your conservative economics to work. How many times and in how many places do they have to fail before you guys figure that out?

Not to mention the fact that most of this is the fault of republicans anyway. On top of all that the new policies that they put forth will make the problem much worse. Representative Ryan's budget is ridiculous. I don't pretend to speak for Gethem but I will bash who I please and who I blame. You may say we are all in this together but the republcians don't act like they are in it with us. If it weren't for republicans tier 5 would have passed in October of last year.

We as a nation are broke and this sense that one group must constantly pay for the other while the later receives benefits must end. The Wisconsin election shows that (after claiming how this vote was a vote on Gov Walker the public supported him by how many thousand more the Unions puppet). Whether it is just $50.00 or $100.00 as Americans everybody needs to pony up no excuses.

Even a few of the richest people in America would disagree with this statement. Bill Gates and Donald Trump said publicly that they DID NOT WANT the tax breaks and feel that the rich should be contributing more in such a bad economy. I personally don't want any of their money. I just want them to have to sacrifice if the poor and middle class have to. Its wrong on so many levels to cut benefits and entitlements right now.
