Liar Liar Pants On Fire ( Romney ) Government Cuts No Need For Firemen ETC

by Debra129 in Just another opinion by Me DLCJ

First if anyone has read the book Aftershock you’d know that to cut government at a time in an economic crises would put us in a worsen position in fact it could be devastating to our country. During the great depression there was a man named Eccles he came up with a plan to get the economy moving again, actually quite brilliant some would say.

When you keep all the money at the top of wealth there is nothing moving all will be a bare market, banks would eventually have to call in loans and so forth. Many peoples were skeptical said nothing could be done to save the economy plus there were others that believed this wasn’t a was a depression of economic law that it was God-given and not man made as in today with our newly radical Republican Party is trying that same old song.

If there are no jobs knowing we are out sourcing them all overseas plus laying off our government jobs positions then there is no money flowing into our economy or to put back into revenue to make profit. And if the middle class poor haven’t been working then they aren’t paying taxes either so then question is where does the revenue come from?

In Robert Reich book he explain why we the liberals can and will win this battle for the middle class he mounts a defense of classic liberalism that’s also a guide for rolling back twenty years of radical conservative domination of our politics and political culture.

Also Reich sow how liberals can shift the focus on the values debate from the behavior in the bedroom to malfeasance in the boardroom and reclaim patriotism from those who equate it with the preemptive war-making and suppression of dissent.

There is a movie that has been released that has been related to almost of what is happening in our atmosphere now with this austerity of inequality towards the lesser class of wealth such as the middle class working poor. (The Hunger Games) it’s truly as if this was scripted by the Radical Paul Ryan with his budget of Tyranny to anyone who couldn’t keep up with the wealth in this country.

This movie clearly represents a war on women and competes with the weaker ones and finds a metaphor for school bullying they have no tolerance if you don’t keep up with them if not you will starve to death, as in our reality now with all of our safety net being cut gut and defunded leaving the weakest to die suffer without dignity.

We know that both Reagan and the 1^st Bush raised taxes also had a stimulus package to help the economy in a recession in both their times as President, put forth money into the public sector creating jobs thru government such as teachers firemen and yes policemen. This package helped every state in our country plus there was an infrastructure bill that both sides of the aisle agreed to for the better of the economics in our country.

The problem here that I see isn’t about what to do or does the congress realize what they should do it’s about sabotaging this economy this is unconscionable to any one person as an American Citizen. They know the jobs bill needs to be passed that our President has put to them last September and again in October if we are to save our economy, our posturing in our global markets.

Even Paul Krugman has said millions of times that the trouble with our Republican Party and Congress is that they rush to rescue everyone except the people who are unemployed, we need to drop tons of money from our federal department into our public sector get this economy moving again you never cut funds to any programs or lay off from public sectors when in an economic crises.

74.9% of our households are now carrying more debt, the family wealth has plunged over 40% mainly in the middle class but as we have seen the wealthy continue to receive their bonuses that could feed a whole state of families. Our President has proposed tax cuts for small businesses plus many other tactics that would help in this crises but as we have seen in past even if the Republicans had the idea 1^st it’s now become not such a great idea because our President has also agreed with it.

Knowing the havoc that has been created by disenfranchising our public sector by every red state their governors with radical thought of laws being pushed into law we are never going to see the light at the end of this recession.

How will we recover or will this be left for the next generation with there be no jobs or opportunities for the youth that now are just starting a life, a new born what will be here for these children? According from data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development the United States has some of the lowest rates of entrepreneurship in the world.

We don’t create in this country or build we would rather start wars put our funds into the military, even Steve Jobs took his product overseas, Apple the IPhone, why wasn’t in made in our country? Most should know this since the tax structure is less cheap labor no health care to pay.

From 1870 to 1973 the wage income of the average worker rose 2% a year, since then it has fallen when it should be growing with the height of inflation at its present growth. In today’s economy a 30 year old man/women now makes 27% less than a person back in 1973, does this make sense to any of us?

It’s time that even our radical Republicans need to realize that rags to riches robin hood in reverse trickle down economy just doesn’t work it’s their fantasy not a real true reality. A poll done in 2011 from Pew Charitable Trusts Economic Mobility Project has found that 83% of people in the United States support some type of government role in our recovery in economic crises as now.

This is what our federal government should be doing making sure no child is left hunger have quality education promote job creation in our public and private sector ensure equal opportunities no matter your race color and or religion.

We will never return to a stable economic recovery if we don’t have well-funded schools with our unions and or government services and taxes put upon those who can afford this tax not put the burden on the poor middle class who are the ones always to suffer from any crises with our economy.

What is our President afraid of why can’t he and the rest of our Democratic Party come out and admit that we really need government to help fix this so call recession which is become our worst nightmare? The Republicans will have you believe we need less government when in fact that is not the case since there job is also a government job as congress makes $84.00 an hour with nine weeks vacations let’s not forget all the recesses that they take with pay, with the best health care that we the people can’t afford or receive as in the same form.

The government role is and always growth plus financial success this has been to the very beginning, the federal government is to essential ensure the country’s prosperity promoting projects that would enrich our country value such as science building roadways bridges railways ETC but for some strange reason we’ve gone elsewhere instead of projecting light we’ve put darkness into our next generations future.

FDR with many other progressives who followed his beliefs in government construction the capabilities of growth from help with federal funds saw how a disastrous depression could recover so why is it that now our radical Republicans won’t see the light before their eyes?

So when a Republican says as we know they will that government doesn’t create jobs this is nonsense a falsehood, we must quickly turn around and ask them who do they work for? Of course our employment rate is at a very high rate in these crises since our house of Congress has made it their main goal to block every jobs bill that President Obama has put forth for them to pass.

In fact Ronald Reagan’s declaration I quote (Opposition to government isn’t the solution, Opposition to government was and remains the problem, It is past time that we affirm government’s ability to heal the economy and it responsibility for doing so.) Now what will the Romney’s or Ryan’s say to this we know they will disagree for they don’t believe in any government but only for themselves.

The only way to get any type of real change is to scare the crap out of the Republicans stand up to them our President has to put out a very large jobs bill as we the people need to also become extremely louder with him. How about a large bargaining chip we need a fair tax since the Bush tax cuts weren’t for any of the poor or middle class it helped only the 1%. President Obama needs to come out fighting if he intends on winning in this race for the White House.

Since Romney and his cronies are planning a serious battle to keep them from losing with all their super pac’s money from unknown places, when they try to smack down government creation our President needs to come back with a fight showing factual facts how wrong they truly are. How we need our firemen, teachers, policemen, how they not only help grow our economy but they keep our neighborhoods safe our children smart to go on to further their education become the next entrepreneur.

If we are to achieve such a high standard we will need adequate levels of investments that are critical in our education rebuilding our infrastructure create and sustain jobs. Once on our way into recovery then we’d need a balance approach to the federal budget which would include protecting the safety net for our most vulnerable the middle class working poor our seniors, our veterans returning home from wars.

I’ve found some facts that most might know 65%of people making over $1million pay a lower tax rate than people in the middle class. In 1930 the taxes were for every $1 dollar in an individual tax you got $1dollar in corporate tax, but now it’s $6.dollars individual for every $1.dollar in corporate tax. With corporations paying less the end result we know is that there buying our political seats our politicians. The way I see it understanding what is going on not being hoodwinked by this system but most of the public is way behind most of us that are aware of what has been taken from our civil rights as the 99%.

Being a women of age yes will be 60years old this July knowing I’m on a fixed income I feel as a war has not just been put on our youth but of all of us the seniors living on Medicare, Social Security knowing if we read the Ryan Budget they will be putting us all out to die in a field of lilies. What will happen when I can’t afford my rent where will the affordable housing be since that just another program our Republicans will defund? As we heard during the election in 2008 Sarah Palin and others in the Tea Party claim death panels would be next but the real issues facing the seniors seem to be the Republicans Tea right wingers in Congress determine to push thru legislature/law that would be our true death panel.

When an older person is let go of their job they have no chance of returning into the work place so this also show as higher unemployment rate, so how compassionate are the Republicans to the elderly who have worked all their life trying to maintain life with some dignity, now they want to take away your humanity.

In fact under the Ryan budget starting in 2022 Medicare would cease to exist instead you would be given a certain amount of vouchers to purchase private health care knowing that the cost of health care continues to raise daily, so who would be able to afford this health care or would as in the primaries all be left to die as Ron Paul said if no medical you can’t be treated.

According to Howard Gleckman author of Caring for Our Parents there are services that seniors also face threats, these critical supports for those receiving home care, and transportation to and from doctor visits nutrition counseling, with the possibility that federal funding for most of these programs would be entirely eliminated, (Administration on Aging budget took $23, million hit in 2012 that’s about 2%).

What we need to do is understand these crises and some would say that capitalism is intrinsically crisis prone. When in different types of crises we do different things as such as a war or economics we know from history to use government to keep the country a float as back during the great depression.

As then property value dropped so did the market but at least there were some level headed politicians who knew the way was of a bipartisanship agreement on a new compromise in this crises. As in Spain throughout neither Europe austerity isn’t working nor will it work in our country it will push us further into deeper economic crises.

If we haven’t learned anything by now with all this country has been through we will never see the light at the end nor will we recover from this crises. Its common sense a jobs plan with infrastructure building up our bridges roadways I’m sure our represent ivies in the house of congress have a road and or bridge that needs fixing.

In fact we need to expand refinancing for homeowner creating more jobs than needed for our returning veterans. It’s time to think smart not let other countries get a head of us such as China stealing our country from us buying up our land in manufacturing. There are ways to invest in clean energy this would help not only by creating more jobs but our environment, all of these things I’ve mentioned are in a bill that President Obama has put forth and presented to Congress as they do nothing it sits on the house floor taking up space.

Romney hasn’t created jobs in fact while being Governor in Massachusetts they came in 47 with jobs plus in the public sector he laid off more teacher firemen, plus policemen, and as CEO of Bain he destroyed more jobs disassembled tore them apart making millions for others not caring of people that just had lost their wages loss of income pensions wondering how they would make ends meet.

We know that under President Obama he hasn’t spent a lot but you’ll hear others claim he has when in fact he has spent less than the last administration. Reagan-style Keynesianism may have preached small government but in practice he presided over a lot of spending growth and right now this is what we need in our Country for it to recover in a way to prosper.

When there is no person spending or receiving wages then the revenue will stop from coming in someone will suffer in our government it won’t be the poor middle class they have already been suffering in chaos because of self-greed by the wealth who now will start to see and feel the realization that they will also lose in the end if they don’t feed back some of their wealth into this country’s economy.
