Simple question for RETHUGS and Freepers
Was 'Bush's tax cuts for the rich reconciliation bill' a fundamental change to the economy?
Is heath care 'more fundamental' than tax cuts for the rich???? STFU Cantor. Stop fucking lying and spinning. ReTHUGS have used reconciliation way more than Democrats and it is perfectly legal.

2. No those tax cuts created millions of jobs ( just not in the USA ) after all giving money to the
poor doesn't create jobs it just makes them lazy and shiftless criminals. Then these people are not the brightest bulbs in the pack, they don't realize that the poor do pay taxes by buying things they need which also creates jobs because businesses have to hire people to make the products the poor need. That was one of the reasons Rayguns economy didn't go down the drain like * did, there was welfare to make up for the lost income tax from workers.

Btw, whenever a con does something these nit wits will claim its against the law for a Dem to do the same exact thing the con did. Clinton affair with an aide = impeachment, con getting caught playing footsie in a bathroom stall with another man = he was miss understood, he has a wide stance when he shits, he was framed.

6. I just completed a budget exercise ...
for one of my grad school courses. It used the 2006 Whitehouse budget. I was amazed to see graphically that by completely eliminating the 2001 and 2003, healthcare could be completely funded And decrease the deficit. Fyrther by eliminating the tax cuts AND the personal and corporate deduction for untaxed foriegn income, we could completely fund healthcare AND increase the education and training related line-items by 50%, while decreasing the budget.

Give the simulation a spin, it'll be eye opening.
