I Just Read The Republican Road To Recovery

[WeDidIt]

Wow!

You Can Read It TOO!

Wow!

Nothing new at all.

But I'll tell you one thing...

I now understand completely how we got into this fucked up situation we're in as a world.

[rug]

1. Sorry, I don't have four seconds to spare.

[RoccoR5955]

2. Large fonts, big pictures and clearly HALF of it,

is a compilation of Obama's statements on the budget.
No details, no numbers, no substance.
What else is new with the Nopublicans.

[annabanana]

3. Why is there a "gop.gov" url?. . Why would there be such a thing?

Is there a dem.gov site?

[Patsy Stone]

4. The stock photos were a nice touch.

:eyes:

[csziggy]

15. What page is the windmill on? n/t

[HughBeaumont]

5. I dunno . . .

. . . did "cut everyone's taxes, hyperbolize Obama's proposals, crib Democratic ideas as our own and pretend the last 8 years never happened" require 19 pages?

And what was with the Reaganite "do you want the government to choose FOR you" health care piece? Errrrr . .. private insurance companies . . . you know, the ones you GOPhers are for . . . do that NOW.

6. yikes! I can't even read the shit..

without getting livid... My favorite:

Republicans support leveling the playing field through
policies that will provide tax incentives for millions more
working families and small business owners to obtain
access to coverage.
Republicans also support breaking down the balkanized
barriers within our current health insurance industry,
allowing individuals to shop across state lines to purchase
affordable policies that best meet their needs.
Independent estimates suggest that as many as 12 million
individuals could obtain access to health insurance
through this approach alone—health insurance that
would be more responsive to individual consumers’
needs.
Republicans support reasonable limits on non-economic
damages, along with penalties for trial lawyers who file
frivolous lawsuits, among other reforms necessary to
preserve patients’ relationships with their physicians and
end the unnecessary defensive medicine practices
increasing costs for all Americans
--------------------------------

Instead of raising taxes on all Americans in the midst of a
recession, Republicans seek to reduce the tax burden on
working families and small businesses in order to create
jobs and unlock private capital.

7. 99% of the document is tearing down President Obama's budget numbers with no numbers of their own.

Except for the tax cut for the wealthy, which would set that rate to 25% instead of the Clinton era 39.6% or current 35%.

[TahitiNut]

8. The last paragraph betrays the GOP's war on the working class.

They aim to explicitly repudiate 'full employment' and embrace the notion that higher unemployment is a 'good thing.'

Fucking fascist bastards! :grr:

[Juche]

9. They want to cut taxes, secure entitlements and cut the deficit at the same time

THIS IS HUGH! REPUBLICANS HAVE CIRCUMVENTED MATH!!!! If they truly pulled something like that off, that is like traveling faster than light.

On another note never underestimate how poorly informed the average voter is. The GOP will be back to fuck the country up again.

10. Here's a truthier version ...

... Republican Road To Recovery (you're welcome to add anything I might have missed to he pamphlet)

[stevedeshazer]

11. Wow. There really is nothing in it!

They're completely out of ideas.

[Patsy Stone]

13. It was a nice shade of blue, though.

You gotta give them that.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Yeah, it was

hell of a way to lay a document

They know how to use WORD, I think

:-)

If this was background for a novel, has enough detail for that... (Yes I am in the process), but for actual, ahem POLICY....

This was written by children, mentally that is

[Historic NY]

12. What a bunch of CRAP...the 08 budget is Democrats?

Why did they show from Clintons time forward? Then again they haven't got nothibng but the same old s--t when it come to health care comparing problems in Great Britian patient care to this country is unrealistic.

[handmade34]

14. Lies and deception...

...made a couple notes. all points from the "road to recovery" ...Parenthesis are my words. The republicans are old pasty white men that cannot accept the fact that we are now in the 21st and time has passed them by.. and they need to work on presentation...



1. Lowers Taxes Instead of raising taxes on all Americans in the midst of a recession?? (I’m NOT paying more tax)
2. We will ensure that this financial crisis can never occur again??? (Oh Ya) see #15
3. And even community organizers, such as ACORN, performing “neighborhood stabilization.” (incomplete sentence)
4. Americorps (what’s wrong with Americorp?)
5. …Republicans would fully fund our ongoing commitments overseas…(and cut)The National Endowment for the Arts (our arts make us human, war makes us inhumane)
6. In a government-run health care system, bureaucrats would exercise increasing control over all health care? (instead of loving, caring, insurance folks…)
7. Medicaid beneficiaries often fails to match private health insurance coverage (BCBS costs upwards of $30,000/year)
8. …tax incentives to obtain access to coverage (tax incentives?? Sounds complicated)
9. Republicans propose a simple and fair tax code with a marginal tax rate for income up to $100,000 of 10 percent and 25 percent for any income thereafter (what????)
10. the death tax?? (that name has to go ...call it what it is)
11. U.S. oil shale alone could provide about 2.5 million barrels of oil per day. (processing of oil shale has environmental impacts, such as global warming, greenhouse gas emissions, disturbance of mined land, impacts on wildlife and air and water quality, significant social and economic impacts on local communities, etc, etc…)
12. Republicans support removing government barriers to new nuclear reactors (???)
13. Democrats are telling us no. (???)
14. (Still blaming the) …Community Reinvestment Act (Despite all the FACTS)
15. The Republican budget ends this failed bailout strategy by refusing to assume additional spending (that’s the plan??)
