   Alot of democrats also believed WMD’s in Iraq….one of them was Bill Clinton. Pelosi, Gore, Kerry, Albright, and scores of democrats also thought Saddam had WMD’s.

   Must be the 47% of Obama moochers who are watching Madcow O’donnell the loser. It’s about the only viewing audience that MSNBC can muster up.

   CNN came out against Obama today. As well as Andrea Mitchell.

   *Iran unveils long-range drone…
   Israel quiet on Ahmadinejad as Yom Kippur descends…

   (Reuters) – Iran’s Revolutionary Guards unveiled a home-built long-range drone capable of reaching most of the Middle East, including the Islamic state’s arch-foe Israel, state television reported on Tuesday.

   The reconnaissance drone named Shahed 129 has a range of 2,000 km (1,240 miles) and is capable of carrying bombs and missiles, state television said. It gave no further details.

   It’s one thing to believe it when we first went to war that the President wouldn’t lie to us, it’s another to believe it in 2012. For argument sake I called BS from the get go, I just knew Bush wanted to go to war with Iraq and would come up with any excuse to do it. It also made absolutely no sense going to war with a guy might be a huge butthole but was an enemy of Al Qaeda and it just felt like the rhetoric Bush used to talk down Saddam Hussein was playing on peoples stupidity not knowing that Iraq was at odds with AL Qaeda, instead trying to paint them as allies.

   Hey guys, I need your help with a Budget plan that I’m coming up with for one of my college ccourses. Feel free to troubleshoot the numbers and tell me what you think and what else I can cut to balance the budget. I’m 41 Billion short right now.

   After analyzing the Federal Budget spending charts for the last couple of days, this is the plan I’ve come up with to balance the budget…which includes cuts and tax increases. I know people on the far left and people on the far right are not going to like this but both sides have to give. Based on FY2011 numbers:

   Pensions – 775 Billion cut by 10% = savings of 77.5 Billion
   Healthcare – 858 Billion cut by 10% = savings of 85.8 Billion
   Education – 113 Billion cut by 10% = savings of 11.3 Billion
   Defense – 878 Billion cut by 30% = savings of 263.4 Billion
   Welfare – 472 Billion cut by 20% = savings of 94.4 Billion
   Protection – 56 Billion cut by 10% = savings of 5.6 Billion
   Transportation – 93 Billion cut by 10% = savings of 9.3 Billion
   General Govt – 29 Billion cut by 10% = savings of 2.9 Billion
   Other Spending – 96 Billion cut by 10% = savings of 9.6 Billion
   Interest – 230 Million (remains the same for now)
   *In addition, cut the 100 Billion to Corporate Welfare.

   -Tax rates returned to the Clinton years: 39.6% for Top bracket and 29% for long-term capital gains = increases revenues by 100 Billion.

   -Current Loopholes – 1 Trillion cut by 50% = increases revenues by 500 Billion

   —Current Spending = 3.6 Trillion
   —Current Revenues = 2.3 Trillion
   —CURRENT DEFICIT = 1.3 Trillion

   Savings from Cuts to Spending = 659 Billion
   Increases to Revenues = 600 Billion

   —Adjusted current Spending = 2.941 Trillion
   —Adjusted Revenues = 2.9 Trillion
   —Adjusted Deficit = 41 Billion

   Thanks for your help

   By the way you wonder my biggest beef against Romney it’s that he has 17 of Bush 24 foreign policy “experts” on his team. Basically the same group of people(ie people who bow down to the military industrial complex) who lied their way into Iraq on the basis of WMD have wanted to attack Iran for years, and with Romney at the helm I think the likelyhood of us getting the “evidence” needed to attack Iran will increase and we will go to another useless war.

    Cut welfare 250 billion.

    How many people are going to be added to medicaid with Obamacare?

    Find a way to grow the economy. 2.3 trillion is roughly the amount we were bringing in, in 2008. Instead of raising taxes promote business growth.

    Some of the other cuts I would go along with except help for seniors.

    What the media did not report today

    *Dow drops 100 after Fed official’s warning…

    NEW YORK (AP) — A quiet day on Wall Street turned into the worst sell-off in three months after a Federal Reserve official said he doubted the bank’s effort to boost economic growth would work.

    Charles Plosser, president of the Fed’s Philadelphia branch, told an audience Tuesday that the Fed’s effort to support the economy would likely fall short of its goals.

    The speech probably startled some investors who had faith in the Fed’s latest plan, said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer Harris Private Bank. The plan includes buying $40 billion in mortgage bonds each month until the economy improves.

    “So many investors have bought into the illusion,” he said. “And it was like Plosser pulled up the curtain on the Wizard of Oz.”

    The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 15.30 points, its fourth straight decline, to close at 1,441.59. The 1.05 percent drop was the worst for the S&P since June 25.

    The Dow Jones industrial average lost 101.37 points to close at 13,457.55.

    **One too many QE’s boys and girls. You can’t print fake money forever and get by with it. Our economy is being run on Dream Money. Stay Tuned…

    @Mark & @Mark2 How about the millions of dollars the government spends on educating the children of illegal immigrants? How about millions of dollars spent on their healthcare, subsidized housing, and food stamps?
    Taxing investment income at 39% is economic suicide. Why would anyone risk and invest their income in a corporation only to have it taxed into oblivion. What is your return on the investment is only around 15%, would you risk millions of dollars to make 1%. NO WAY. You would take your money and go some where you can make money, like China. Economics 101. Obamabots don’t understand since 47% of them don’t invest money they only take money from those who earn it and invest it.
