Buying 50 million votes

[amdx]

Obama has called on congress to give $250 to SS recipients, 13 billion of
our dollars
split between 50 million SS recipients.

Obama said,
"Even as we seek to bring about recovery, we must act on behalf of those
hardest hit by this recession,"
How do you say "can I buy 50 million votes"

Inflation is non existent, that's why no SS COLA.

Many items are lower in price, because merchants are scurrying for sales.

The government is forcibly taking my money and giving

it to others, even though my income is down 30% in this bad economy.

It seems the SS recipients are not hit hardest, I'd suggest business owners
are hardest hit.

Politicians should be ashamed.

I'm getting more pissed everyday

I'll not send it back ;-)

Time for all you disenchanted young bucks to rise up and kill.

Start with Slowman, please !-)

Yes Jim,
But I know how ashamed you will feel while sipping your fine wine.

Indeed! I'm so overwhelmed with sorrow this morning over the plight
of leftist weenies that I've had to open another bottle ;-)

Easy now, I don't want to buy you a new liver!

You heard of "Cash for Clunkers"....
Well, this is "Cash for Creakers"!

As in bones so old they creak.

Now if only he was offering a handsome reward to turn eligible
oldsters over to the death panels for proper recycling...

He just gave Pakistan 7.5B. I guess that makes you a little more pissed
today.

Hmmm, let me understand this line of reasoning.

Give a tax cut to those that have an income. Fine.

Those with a higher income, get to send less of those dollars to the tax
collector.

How many recipients got to keep dollars out of the tax collectors hands ??

Is's not a matter of costs, but a matter of politics.

Sorry, the numbers tell the real "buying votes".

Well, now its your turn.

I think you said, those with higher income earned their money
and the government in all its generosity let them keep it.
The government didn't take it by force to give to others.

I'm not sure there could be some self defense strategy in that.
Oh wait, did you say Obama sent it, never mind.

[amdx]

Hmmm, so the "rich" did not get paid off for their votes ??

or are you changing the subject ?

don

Let's define rich as income over $250,000 (you can make it $1,000,000 if
you want)
I would be surprised if there are *300,000 people with that income.
So let's say the votes were bought, 300,000 vs 50,000,000.
Bought is a funny word, 50,000,000 were paid for their vote,
300,000 were allowed to keep what they earned.

*PS I don't think the number is that high.

So you don't see the difference between "giving" someone their own
money, and "giving" them someone else's money?

Since all money belongs to The State, it can give money to whoevere it
wants.

There was a time when the US of A was seen as a 'can do' nation.
Nowadays it is seen as a 'can whinge' nation.

Pity

You call it whinge we say whine, however this is just normal political
discourse.
It's rallying the troops to get the money into the peoples hands rather than
under
government productless control.
The good ole USA is still the strongest economic and military power in the
world,
and we CAN DO. However, if the government continues to take more and more
of the economy it may not last. Even with that said, technology moves so
fast I
believe the rest of the world will catch up.

You mean Barney Frank's disaster, in league with those of Mr. Obama's
advisors who helped cause it? I neither know nor care.

You assume it's been handled. It hasn't. You seem to think the money
was spent to some good or effective purpose. It wasn't.

The money's being wasted, dissipated, used for handouts, like the one
of this thread. And junk mortgages. Maybe you'd like to defend it,
since I believe it was you who posted a link about the FHA:

Huh?

What you don't understand is: Obama's making it worse. It won't hit
for a while--phase delay & all that.

Can the economy possibly stagger to its feet despite Obama? That
isn't at all clear. Maybe. Certainly the few industries he favors
will have a nice time, for a while. But the problem with socialism is
that you eventually run out of other people's money (Margret
Thatcher). And it could get ugly.

Is this the time to throw another 2 trillion on the pile, in the name
of covering but a fraction of the few who don't have health care
insurance, while rationing care and raising the rates for everyone
else?

Don't answer yet--Mr. Obama stands eager to heap not only the 2, but
14 trillion extra beyond even that on national debt over the next
years, with no prospect of paying it off.

It's quite incredible. It's as if he wants us to fail.

Oh shit. You figured out he is a demoncrat and NEEDS someone to
rescue? He can't become king any other way.
