Republicans Losing Their Advantage on How to Handle the Deficit, Poll Finds

Gee - I invite you all to go over to Daily Finance and read yet more positive reports coming from our business and manufacturing sectors due to better trade agreements and increasing our exports. And even though we have seen 19 months of manufacturing and export gains, President Obama continues his goal of increasing our exports with South America. The gop's agenda: cutting jobs and wages, eliminating collective bargaining, and working for corporations to make record profits overseas.

The Republicans are hampered by A dem senate and president. Obamas budget was a joke.
The Dems do not understand macro-economics. I write a check to the Department of the
Treasury every year. If Obama is re-elected, I and others may not write the check. If the Gov.
will not control its spending, then we will do it for them. There is a lot of talk about a tax payer
revolt. The buck stops with the minority that pays taxes. We will not support a spendthrift admin.
Let him try to hire 22k new IRS agents with no money. There are those in my community in
need that i would rather give the money to. Dems must help to seriously slash or NO MORE
CASH. Taxpaying Americans unite!

Who is doing a better job of handling the economy:
Obama or the Republicans? None of them. Only the banks
know how to handle the economy.

Look at how the brought the US economy down and how
they made a hell lot of money with it. Paying Bush.
That was a good investment.

And Mr. Boehner just replaced the biodegradable coffee cups used in congress with styrophone cups. Why? Because the ceo of Koch brothers owns the cup company. Where are the jobs Mr. Boehner? Where is illegal immigration on your agenda? Where is an energy plan?

House majority leader Eric Cantor is fighting to return the 2004 gop legislation that allows overseas profits to be taxed at only 5.25%. Michelle Bachmann is fighting to repeal the new banking legislation that addressed the problems of the 2002 gop banking legislation. Things like predatory lending, eliminating truth in lending laws, and legalizing credit card loan sharking. They are also fighting the new consumer advocate agency, which the lady running this is the very person that brought to light the problems with the 2002 gop banking legislation. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I think that's where a lot of gop supporters are at right now and why they are protesting in the streets across the country in gop states.

When the secretary of defense hands you billions in cuts, you don't say no thank you Mr. Boehner. But the gop does want to cut the IRS. Sounds good right? Wrong. The IRS was given the resources early 2009 to go after offshore accounts and over 14,000 individuals came forward before the October 2009 deadline. Also, they went after so called offshore corporate headquarters - you know the one's that had a room a desk, and a person just to avoid taxes. Just last week they rounded up more in Virginia setting up swiss accounts. This is why the gop wants to cut the IRS - it is self serving. For every dollar spent on the IRS returns ten. The dems aren't worried about us, we have our taxes taken right out of our paychecks; they're going after the big ones and the gop doesn't like it one bit.

Oh.... I just hope somebody gets it right!!

reply to jensengirls3: I agree. Bank of America, GE and Exxon Mobil pay no federal income tax and the other big banks paid only 11%. The gop's agenda and legislation reflects that only little people pay taxes. Well businesses use our roads, police, fire, and much more just as much if not more and they should pay also. We all want the most efficient form of govt and the lowest taxes possible - but we are not going to get that with the gop.

All those manufacturing paychecks are starting to come back into our communities and small businesses and creating demand for goods and services again which leads to more job growth, the return of our tax base, and the natl debt can be addressed more aggressively. The gop's approach of cutting jobs and wages will only lead to a double dip recession.

Our manufacturing and exports have seen significant gains in the last 19 months with financial forecasts coming from the business community (not the govt) for 2011 to be an additional over 2 million in job growth. Much of this is due to better trade agreements being negotiated, enforcing existing trade laws, and having incentives for businesses to create jobs in this country - like the 100% business writeoffs for improvements made here. The dems policies are working and the gop and their followers can't stand it. The only thing standing in our way is the gop cuts being made at the federal and state levels.
