Rand Paul raised an interesting point,

[archives]

this budget deal just approved by a Republican owned Congress and signed by a Republican President spends more money than President Obama's stimulus package that conservatives not only labeled and echoed "porkulus," but also campaigned on in 2010.

Adding in the trillions dollar tax give away, this "making America great" Administration isn't even giving lip service to the deficit/debt concern that conservatives told us for decades was one of their leading principles.

Always said conservatism for most proclaiming to be conservative was just a made up as you go along political ideology

Do you disagree with the budget?

[Jarod]

I disagree with cutting income while increasing spending.

Do you disagree with the budget?

I think he was just laughing at American conservatism.

It is a joke. I am laughing at it. Aren't you?

Do you disagree with the budget?

Not about me, I am not a conservative, I have not been telling others for decades that deficits/debit was the major problem facing the country, that Obama's stimulus legislation was a disaster, that spending caps and balanced budgets were essential, those were all conservative principles, least that is what conservatives told is were thier core principles

[Jarod]

It does make people like Paul Ryan look like a joke.

All the Repugnants give a damn about is giving massive irresponsible tax cuts to people who are already wealthy anyway.

Nothing else matters.

If they could've gotten away with it, they'd have slashed social programs to the bone to pay for their give away to the rich without batting an eye.

But thanks to the Democrats, they didn't get away with it.

stop complaining and become wealthy

problem solved

stop being a taker

[blackascoal]

Rand Paul illustrates the utter hypocrisy of conservatives and the Republican Party .. including him.

[Irish]

It was Democrats that demanded the massive spending or threatened to shut down govt Again.

Thread fail.

Unlike you and the right, I'm not worried only about myself, Teflon Dildo.

I want what's good for society and regular, working people.

I am 100% self supporting and I've never taken a dime of taxpayer money in my life.

Why don't you stop being such poor ignorant white trash who lets yourself be brainwashed into supporting policies that are harmful to the lower income bracket you belong to?

Supporting Repugnants and their pro-1% anti-working class policies will not magically cause you to become wealthy yourself someday. They aren't going to just let you join the team no matter how loudly you cheer for them.

You'll always be just a cheerleader and never a player.

Sequestor really hit the military..lots of training accidents, as well as operational failures.
a CR was unacceptable- the military was BEGGING to reverse sequestor damage

a budget requires Dem votes. Dems made it clear they would hold Defense spending hostage,
unless they go an approximate same increase in domestic spending.

so off the fiscal cliff we go. Good for Rand Paul to point it out, but the process required this compromise

yeppers. Chuck Schumer is one happy guy today- it had to be done to improve readiness

Yet the deficit increased every year under Obama, didn't it? Don't believe me?

Here, I'll show you...

"Thus, the national debt under Obama will have grown by about $9 trillion, or an increase of 86%."
