Joe is right

Well he is back to spewing rethug talking points. Thank God Andrea Mitchell discovered football or Mika might have punched Joe.

Anyway, Joe is right the Dems need to put forth spending cuts. What would be awesome is if these cuts included the normal medicaid medicare and ss savings with all that smoke and mirrors means testing streamlining. And then for the real cuts in defense budget and corporate welfare and closing tax code loop holes.

PS I think Joe is either not going to be on the air on tuesday or if he is he will extremely sad and mad. I'm a sec homer but I think ND wins tonight.

I prefer no spending cuts in a demand starved economy. mmonk Jan 2013 #5
Spending cuts should be tied to economic growth. Otherwise they are big drags on economic recovery. Zen Democrat Jan 2013 #6

And if the Democrats proposed spending cuts where they need to be cut instead of in social services and infrastructure, Joe would be the first one to start screaming.

why I said the dems should put up cuts and the bulk of the cuts come from defense and corporate welfare programs.

The big three programs should not be subject to cuts other then streamlining.

Personally I'd love to see Mika punch Joe one morning and he fall off the set into the windows and spill his drink all over his mac.

Did you hear the silence when Joe went on the "where's the dems budget?" and every one at the table just stared the "are you that stupid Joe?" stare.

But he is right Dems should put up spending cuts all defense and corporate subsidies cuts.

He calculatingly makes a few comments for the opposing side of an issue so he can later say things like, "I was as critical of George W. Bush as anyone."

Don't be fooled.

I like the other people on this show thats why I watch. The best days are when Joe is on holiday. Of course the second best days are when some one that talks more and louder than Joe Schmo smacks Joe when he speaks nonsense. Of course 99% of time Joe is the prefect definition of nonsense.
