    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    No worries. I'm not pissed; I'm rejoicing since I have the ability to reason, which I can admittedly take for granted, until I see your uninformed ramblings.

    Sure you don't want to brag about Bush's lack of leadership again? This seems like a good spot...

    You are so full of shit!

    Listen to the partisan hack and his claim that there was a "precipitous" drop in the unemployment rate after the Bush tax cuts...LOL...if only!

    AFTER the Bush tax cuts from 2001 were passed..."The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001", passed June 7, 2001, unemployment went UP!

    Here are the Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers:

    Year Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
    2001 4.2 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.3 4.5 4.6 4.9 5.0 5.3 5.5 5.7
    2002 5.7 5.7 5.7 5.9 5.8 5.8 5.8 5.7 5.7 5.7 5.9 6.0

    2003 5.8 5.9 5.9 6.0 6.1 6.3 6.2 6.1 6.1 6.0 5.8 5.7

    The next round..."The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003", was passed by the United States Congress on May 23, 2003 and signed into law by President George W. Bush on May 28, 2003, FINALLY started to bring the numbers down from 6.3...however, Bush NEVER SAW NUMBERS AS LOW as he had at the beginning of his first term...BUT IF LOW TAXES CREATE JOBS, THEN WHY DID UNEMPLOYMENT GO UP?
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    Claims that Republicans make to bolster their support for extending the Bush tax cuts for the rich show they either don't understand the data that's available or they're banking on a few super-rich small businesses and many more very wealthy investors to take their tax cuts and trickle the effect down onto the rest of the economy.


    That's not an efficient method for creating jobs or boosting the lackluster economic recovery—as we experienced during the jobless recovery after the Bush tax cuts were first enacted.

    He's stated numerous times that his tiny mind is "closed" and he refuses to let in any new information.

    The Republican plan is an exceedingly efficient way to oblige Americans in the coming decade to pay the cost of borrowing $830 billion so that the wealthiest Americans can enjoy another tax cut courtesy of the Republican Party.


    Talk about budget-busting!

    ROFLMAO.... seriously?

    After the 2001 tax cuts, are you seriously claiming it was the tax cuts that caused unemployment to go up in the last quarter? Not 9/11, but the tax cuts? THAT is what you want to pretend was the cause?

    As for 2003, the tax cuts enacted at the end of MAY as you stated.... the unemployment rate in JUNE went up.... did you really think they were going to have an IMMEDIATE affect? Take a look at the REST of 2003. What happened to the unemployment rate AFTER JUNE? Notice a particular direction it was heading?

    "Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.

    They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

    Did you see anywhere in my post where I claimed it was the 01 tax cuts that caused unemployment to climb in 2001? One wonders why then you'd make such a ridiculous statement?

    Maybe because your just a partisan hack who refuses to admit that the RightWing mantra that lower taxes creates jobs is just plain bullshit?

    Maybe you could climb up Dixie's ass for his outlandish claims that unemployment under the Shrub "dropped precipitously to 4%" after the Bush tax cuts were enacted?

    Nope, you'd rather play word games and make up bullshit so you can taunt another poster...we understand.

    Bush said tax cuts would create jobs.

    Boehner, McConnell and Cantor all chant the same refrain.

    Perry, Bachmann and Romney sing the same tune.

    Tax cuts have been in continuous effect for over a decade.

    Where are the jobs?

    Obviously, if anyone had an actual answer, as opposed to the same old deflections and evasions, they'd answer...the silence speaks volumes!

    Over 10 years ago, Bush said that tax cuts would produce prosperity and jobs.


    He got them


    Then Bush said that more tax cuts would produce prosperity and jobs.


    He got them.


    Then Bush said that more tax cuts would produce prosperity and jobs.


    He got them.


    Then the GOP said that extending the Bush tax cuts would produce prosperity and jobs.


    They got the extension.


    Where is the prosperity?

    What they REALLY meant, but wouldn't say out loud is that...

    They wanted and got prosperity...for THEMSELVES.

    They wanted and got jobs...for THEMSELVES!

    The American public doesn't matter in the least to Righties.

    10 years ago, George W. Bush signed the first of his large tax cuts into law, which President Obama temporarily extended last December.


    And get this: In those 10 years -- under two different presidents and after more tax cuts -- the U.S. economy has lost a net of 1.1 million jobs.


    Those 1.1 million jobs lost -- compared with more than 20 million jobs added during higher tax rates in the 1990s -- make the argument that lower taxes aren't always a guarantee for economic growth and job expansion.
