PUMPKINHEAD SPEAKS!!!

The more these pinhead Democrats keep coming, the more ludicrous sounding they get. This time around we have yet another genius Democrat in the person of New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler, aka, "Pumpkinhead," who has made the insane argument at a recent news conference with the Congressional Out of Poverty Caucus that the United States does not currently have a budget crisis. Ok, forget about the outright lunacy of his argument, what on God's green Earth is the "Congressional Out of Poverty Caucus?" I guess I have not been paying nearly enough attention here regarding the goings on in Congress. "That’s the real crisis – the unemployment, not the deficit. We don’t have a deficit problem right now. In the long term, we have a deficit problem – we’ve got to get it under control but not right now," or so said the brilliant Mr. Nadler at the Capitol on Wednesday. "Right now we’ve got to get unemployment under control. If we got unemployment down to 7 percent, down to 5 percent, which is what it was in 2005, and 2007 rather before the recession hit, if we got it down to 5 percent, half the deficit would be eliminated just by that – half the deficit without cutting a nickel from the budget. So, we have to address the real problem. The real problem is we are not taxing properly." Not taxing properly? The policies advocated by buffoons like Nadler and, of course Barry, that have been put in place thus far, have directly resulted in 2.4 million jobs having now been lost in the last 31 months.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the federal budget deficit will reach $1.5 trillion by the end of the fiscal year 2011. The current national debt limit is $14.29 trillion. Rep. Nadler, of course, supports a higher corporate tax rate which is already the highest in the World. "In 1950, corporations paid taxes equal to 8 percent of GDP, today they’re paying taxes equal to less than 1 percent of GDP. In 1980, corporations' taxes were 6 percent, sorry, were 30 percent of total tax revenues, today they’re 6 percent of total tax revenues – they’re taking the taxes off the corporations and off the rich," he said. He continued, "When we talk about, ‘we’ve got a budget deficit crisis’ no we don’t. We have a tax crisis, we have a crisis that we’re not taxing properly and we have a recession and an unemployment crisis. "The way to get out of that unemployment crisis is to spend money on more food stamps and on aid to states and local governments so they don’t lay off people and on infrastructure so we can be competitive and put people to work and if we did that, unemployment would go down, tax receipts would go up and we’d be well on our way out of this so-called crisis." What has gone on over the course of the last 10 years and, yes actually is something in which Bush did play a role, is that the government has essentially doubled in size and therefore doubled in the cost that it takes to run it.


This rabid amount of spending and the accelerated pace of government expansion is not something that is in any way sustainable. And this idiot's suggestion that the answer to our problem is as simple as spending even more money on such things as food stamps and on aid to the states so that they can keep unionized public employees on the job, goes beyond being insane, it's absolutely irresponsible. This is not rocket science. And I just cannot for the life of me, understand why it is that with people like this Democrat moron out there making such imbecilic statements that rational people simply cannot see who the main culprits are behind our present economic and fiscal situation. Never in our history has such a massive amount of spending taken place in such a short period of time. And we're just supposed to sit back and let it continue because fat slobs like this jerk are either living in denial regarding our current fiscal mess, or are simply just flat out lying to us. This runaway freight train has got to be stopped before it plows headlong into the wheelhouse. And the Democrats, Barry included, want to do nothing more than to continue with business as usual. There is a complete unwillingness on the part of the Democrats to do anything substantive regarding this supposed deadline on 2 August. I think they are hoping for the worst, because that is the caliber of individual that we are dealing with here.
