John Boehner: NO on Shutdown; YES on Entitlement Reform

Then why were you opposed to getting affordable health care......health care costs cripples small businesses, you idiot

I'm not...

What I am opposed to is the federal government being involved in healthcare...

[kwame k]

Yeah, me too....because the industry policing themselves has worked out great......

[FORD]

With the private sector employment dried up there's no way to sustain the bloated government...

Wisconsin is just the beginning and I say bring it on...

So you admit there are no private sector jobs available, and yet you want public employees to lose their jobs?

And even then, you would probably oppose them getting unemployment compensation.

Exactly how the fuck do you propose that people earn a living?

[Seshmeister]

One thing I'd like the government is to support small business and create an environment where a local business can stand on it's own and be able to make ends meet with healthy competition with overseas companies...

Huge tariffs should be imposed on the junk that is flooding the market from China...

I for one am willing to pay more for a quality item...

A fair playing field encourages quality and competition...

Inflation would rise like a banana republic and your economy would collapse.

I don't know, but you can't keep paying people with money that is not there...

You seem to have zero ability to let that sink in...

It's a house of cards now...

So you agree with me that all taxes and regulations should be rolled back to 1980 levels, and that all "too big to fail" corporations should be broken up by the courts, as Republican President Teddy Roosevelt would have done?

Because that (along with the tarriffs) is the only thing that is going to allow small business to have anything approximating a fair playing field.

Obamacare is affordable health care? Maybe you should read the law and see how much it's going to cost us. I told Ford I might go for single payer if it's paid for out of the military budget. Right now small businesses don't provide health care because they can't afford to do so. Obamacare will force them to but they will just pay the $2000 penalty on each employee so they still won't have healthcare but the employer will have to pay all that money.

The real problem is across the board corruption. You can't trust the insurance companies and you can't trust the current government. As things stand now, you are really on your own. It's the old west again.

There should be no such thing as too big to fail...

GM should have been left on their own, for instance...

Then get the money back from the rich fucks who STOLE it, and stop wasting it on global fascism.

[ELVIS]

Who do you think stole it ??

GM was worth saving because they pay living wage jobs and still make something in America. And the government will be out of the car business very soon.

Chrysler as well, though I would have preferred American ownership, for obvious reasons (money going to Germany, or Italy, or where ever. Same with the Honda and Toyota plants in the US.)

[Nitro Express]

Single payer may work if we get some decent people back into office and we watch them like hawks so they don't get bought off. If the country lasts that long.

[FORD]

Ask Warren Buffett.
