Boomerang Economy Or Politicians Playing Games

by Debra129 in ECONOMICS POLITICIANS RECOVERY [Edit]

As we all know our congress has been playing games with much of our growth of our economy trying to sabotage every bill President Obama has put forth to relieve us of this horrific recession brought on by the Bush administration.

To me its been as this Republican Party have been playing Romper Room looking thru a looking glass only seeing one side of mirror which of course is only in their favor.

We’ve gone through a failed debt ceiling budget where the Republicans held the American people hostage for the extension of payroll taxes and to continue unemployment benefits to the unemployed.

There were cuts made to Medicare in exchange for a small increase in taxes not to the 1% as we’d like to see. We shouldn’t of continued the Bush tax cuts that would have brought much revenue into our economy without cutting funds to the safety net of many programs needed for the underprivileged.

Now with our economy on an up-hill course because of the bail out money for the auto industry saving millions of jobs, also the low interest rates on loans allowing people to borrow money which will help the economy.

But still were not out of the water yet there are many people still suffering while our politicians play in a pre-school manner not really caring of the hardship their games will create in many families.

With this being an election year the Republicans are truly on a war path determined to defund all programs once again as the Paul Ryan budget will cut the deficit by giving more money to the wealth of this country taking it from the people who have nothing at all.

Also this budget would create lower growth in a recovery from this recession created by their own party and make the deficits higher.

This is very serious to our structure if our government can’t compromise for the people in a humane way of equality for all for this will risk our social security benefits that we use as a safety net as we age, knowing not all people can afford to obtain a portfolio on the income they live on week to week.

This is another reason that we need to continue the path President Obama has been taking us down that will put our deficit down and achieve a stronger recovery which will help this country in the end result.

While most of the 1% feel that this recession is over for they aren’t feeling the burden of a financial lose at this point any longer. The wealth are spending money in the restaurants, buying newer cars, lets not forget how many summer vacation homes they have bought or remolded, so yes this recession is over for they have their portfolios the stocks that provide a wealthy income for them.

But the rest of us the 99% were still feeling the effects of this economical crises. So we know that the economy has grown about 3% last quarter more than the 1.8% the third quarter growth. We know this because its recorded, but what does this mean to the average person with a pay check that never changes who suffers still.

Nothing we need to see more in our pay checks as yes the economy is recovering it hasn’t shown in all areas as one would like to see. If you speak with the Republican Party they would rather make sure they keep their tax breaks and take from the poor to balance the deficit. As in the reverse of what Robin Hood did or what Jesus would believe in.

As we hear our candidate running for the peoples White House claiming they care of this country but yet will speak as they knew Jesus personally knowing all they say isn’t of what he stood for or did in his time that he walked our earth. This is called hypocrisy at its worst, the most disingenuous type of equality they try to hoodwink with such deceitful rhetoric. This is fraudulent what this party has been trying to claim will put this country back on an upward spin, knowing the only people it will truly work for will be the people in the 1% creating much havoc upon the rest of us the 99%.

Another reason why they now after wanting a mandate in our healthcare bill have changed their stand on this is because it might actually help the other side yes that means us the 99% and our President Obama but if it gets thrown out this might just help rid of the tax penalty that it would bring to people who didn’t buy into medical insurance hurting the public insurance companies with their ridiculous premiums.

We also know they have attacked our unions knowing they protect the wages of what the people are paid, the conditions they work under. This would only help the economy if people are working making a nice salary.

Our transportation bill that congress has been fighting over, wanting earmarks back into all things, you might wonder why, if people remember the bridge to know where in Alaska this was earmarks, there used for any politicians special interest project as they feel needed and could be tact on to major bills.

The Tea Party seems to be against this but I’m sure with this bill they will introduced it once again for a profit of a favor in their back pockets. Boehner has pushed for the earmarks ban now is considering of forming a team of sorts to decide on this idea once again.

Remembering that all of what congress has been doing has nothing to do with helping the economy or the job crises people in need of a stronger foundation to help with any type of a safety net.

In fact you will hear all of the Tea Gop clearly say we need smaller government unless its for them of course. They want to do away with public schooling, Santorum would have you believe it would help our economy if all children were home school and there would be less chances of harm coming to their minds.

These Republicans would also have you believe that women’s bodies are costing much money in our economics of government claiming it’s now a religious problem, we need to stop paying for any type of medical contraception pre-screening of women issues.

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP’s War on Women

1) Republicans not only want to reduce women’s access to abortion care, they’re actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven’t yet. Shocker.

2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to “accuser.” But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain “victims.”

3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)

4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.

5) In Congress, Republicans have a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.

6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids’ preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.

7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.

8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.

9) Congress just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.

10) And if that wasn’t enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can’t make this stuff up).

In the end result we know that our minimum wage needs to be increased for the average family, also if you want the economy to improve there must be spending from all people not just the top 1%.

Our unions can’t be dismantled by either party they are a necessity for the American people as in this transportation bill there must be protection for the people if our economy is going to continue to have any sort of growth.

Yes our country will proceed to grow if we continue on the proper path of an economic structure with equality for every person not just eliminating the 99% for then you will have a failing economics banks will close stores will be left with inventory, you will see the worst economic collapse before your eyes in my opinion worse than back in the 30”during the FDR Administration.

We need our labor to organize once again if this recovery is going to swing into the lower levels of our population where still people cant see any light of a recovery out of this recession.

One can only hope that congress will start to work for this country and not for their lobbyist hedge fund managers keeping in mind how they pro-claim to love this country and be so pro-life but yet all we see is them killing every thing that would protect the people and yes this beautiful country we call the USA .
