Desperate White House Tries to Blame Tea Party for Downgrade,on FTN

Just as the rape victim is for the rape.

 

Hold on a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing minute.

Who said we aren't going to pay our debt off?

There is so much fiction going on, over on the left they can't even keep the facts straight.

Who claimed we were going to stop paying off our debt?

 

What do you mean "going home"?

 

Back to their redneck way of life waving their flags.

 

Bigot much?

The Tea Party has just proven its growing influence, which will, undoubtably, carry over to , and beyond, the 2012 elections.

Get ready...it's coming.

 

THE U.S. CONGRESS DID NOT MAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT CUTS.

The TEA Party wanted real cuts off the current budget which would be frozen, not of the baseline increases which is what happened. The TEA Party DID NOT get the deal it wanted.

With this deal that was all about the Democrats and the establishment Republicans which most TEA Party members VOTED AGAINST we have the following result.

The U.S. DEBT will be $25 TRILLION in a decades time.

I hope these facts are getting through to you liberals.

The TEA Party wanted a 1% cut off the current budget and for it to be frozen. Then each year an additional 1% cut would be made. In 8 short years we would have a balanced budget and be able to pay down the debt. Had we done that, we would have maintained our top rating.

But...

BARACK OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS REFUSED TO MAKE REAL CUTS.

So now the country gets....



DOWNGRADED !!!

 

That is awesome!

Sincerely, I wished I could blame all of the spending issues in this country on one piece of the political landscape, but I must remind you the Republicans got much of what they wanted, so I am going to be logical here and say that the debt ceiling bill, passed through the Republican house, seems to be a bipartisan fiasco.

 

NOW, it's "the S & P's fault" according to the increasingly asinine/desperate White House:


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A top White House economic adviser slammed Standard & Poor's on Saturday for having stuck with its decision to downgrade the U.S. credit rating despite having made a $2 trillion mistake in its fiscal projections.

"The magnitude of their error combined with their willingness to simply change on the spot their lead rationale in the press release once the error was pointed out was breathtaking," National Economic Council head Gene Sperling said in a statement.

"It smacked of an institution starting with a conclusion and shaping any arguments to fit it," he said.

S&P, a major credit rating agency, cut the long-term U.S. credit rating by one notch from AAA to AA-plus on Friday on concerns about the government's budget and rising debt burden.

The U.S. Treasury said the rating agency's debt calculations were wrong by some $2 trillion. S&P has confirmed it changed its economic assumptions after discussion with the Treasury Department but said that did not affect its decision to downgrade.

A major theme in S&P's analysis was the apparent breakdown in the ability of Republicans and President Barack Obama's Democrats to govern effectively, as evidenced in the fractious negotiations leading to a last-minute debt limit deal that brought the United States to the edge of default.


Got it; everyone's fault but the people whon have been in 2/3 control for four years, TOTAL CONTROL for TWO YEARS...Uh-huh....

 

The establishment Republicans indeed did. I will not debate that point with you as I agree with you. They wanted basically what the Democrats wanted... MORE SPENDING.

We need to primary out those hacks and then get rid of the Democrats in the general election. We need people that are willing to make the real cuts.

 

Good luck with that.

 

I don't care what happens as long as leftist ideology dies in America. Whatever it takes.

 

It worked on the last election and will work again... the TEA Party should move up from 5% of Congress to 10% in 2012. So... thanks for the luck, but I will go with the trend.

 

"Lets get real" again (Biden lingo). The liberal jackass Democrats in the Senate were not going to even vote on a serious bill. You see what they did to Cut Cap, and Tax. After that, it made zero additional sense to keep sending them real solutions, as they were DOA with the liberal jackass Democrats. We already have the liberal jackass Democrats on record as not being serious about debt reduction.

So, within proper expectations, considering the liberal jackass Democrats in the Senate, the GOP did just fine.

Now we vote a slew of the liberal jackass Democrats in the Senate out of office in 2012. And the liberal jackass Democrat in the WH too.

And then we start with the serious solutions.

Yeah, Dan Burton, Lamar Smith, Steve King, Pete Hoekstra, all GOP retreads, not fresh faces. Seems a portion of your "5%" are nothing more than GOP hacks.

 

It's a well coordinated effort from OFA or similar to take the well deserved heat off of our Dear Leader From Behind, Dick Obama.

It's saturation bombing to minimize the epic O-fail.

There are many threads here started with those marching orders. Hen86 is clearly part of the cabal.

Next step: Spread the U3 epic fail.

$1 billion will tell a lot of lies in the coming 14 months.

 

They have seen the light...and they are but FOUR people out of DOZENS...

 

so why didn't the dems make a budget 2 years ago when they controlled the whole government? like they were supposed to.

 

Incompetence? Refusal of both sides to compromise? Desperation?

I don't absolve Democrats for their actions and inactions.

 

Lack of leadership?

 

Boehner turned out to be just another spineless DC occupant.
But that doesn't mean BO must keep on blaming others for his lack of leadership and utter incompetence. Its about time to man up and grow a pair. He wants to be the leader of the free world, its about time to show something more but moping, words and speeches, and finger pointing. Its getting old and really really silly.

 

On their not being a budget a few years ago? Absolutely.

 

It's neither dems nor TEA party folks...it is decades of DC spending by both parties.

Too much money goes to DC. Too few in control of it.
That means what it always means, no matter the ideology of any given Adm or Congress.
These people are career politicians who use their access to money to buy votes - plain and simple.

This reality makes it impossible for them to approach their jobs with any integrity -
After all you are putting them in the position of serving themselves by serving bundlers over serving the best interest of the country.

Without structural changes, nothing will ever change.

and the -->> LR <<-- misdirection is the perfect distraction to allow the players to perpetuate their game

 

Don't throw fact into the argument.

 

No doubt; that imbedded addiction to the public's money, is what the Tea Party is there to end.

We'll see...
