I’m so stunned that somebody agreed with me that I have nothing to say.

Kinda like the Brewers and the World Series isn’t it Mike.
January 5, 2013 at 3:41 pm #1127091Welcome to the real world
That’s the world where the VIKES STOMP THE PACKERS TONIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 5, 2013 at 3:43 pm #1127092Yep, somethings are just not meant to be.
January 5, 2013 at 8:45 pm #1127143Man I was so much better off 5 years ago…..
Can’t some of you remember when we were going down the fiscal waterslide 5 years ago… when ol George had the old economy hummin along…. man some of you have selective memory 
Banks were collapsing, people were being locked out of their homes, pink slips were being handed out like candy on halloween…. jobs were leaving this country faster than Grant went through Richmond…..you have it so damn rough today 
January 5, 2013 at 9:52 pm #1127155I’m with G. Its Bush’s fault. You’d think you people have heard it enough by now that you would have let it sink into your cement heads.
January 5, 2013 at 10:11 pm #1127158I am placing fault where it should be… on all of them. To think this country has gone in the tank in the last 4 years… man pass the crack pipe…
I have a longer memory than 4 years… read the posts pug and see who is placing blame January 5, 2013 at 10:28 pm #1127165I have a long memory and this country’s economy is stagnant.
January 7, 2013 at 1:19 am #1127578Yes it is very stagnant Pug. The economy is expected to grow by 1.5% to 2% over the next decade. Maybe. Well below average of 3% to 5% in a typical decade. Well below average of 6% to 8% when we emerge from a recession as we did in 2009.
The tax on the rich enacted Jan 1 will shave another .5% or so off economic growth in the next year. So maybe, just maybe, this economy will grow at 1% a year for awhile.
Have you asked yourself why that is the case Pug? Or are you the typical uniformed voter I mentioned? Are you in for the “fundamental transformation of America”? Hope not and don’t think so.
George W Bush fault? Give me, and everyone else, a @!#&%^$# break. The guy you voted for now owns this economy and everything about it going foward.January 7, 2013 at 1:08 pm #1127664wow, you are off on the pug
so your saying Obama owns a “growing” economy, as opposed to the “declining” one when he took the office ? 
right ?? What the &*%$ is up with that ???

Just like Bush inherited a declining economy, a housing bubble and a dot com bubble from Clinton. I searched your posted from 12 years ago, but I didnt see any comments blaming Clinton.
Make Minnesota a Right to Work state in 2013!
January 7, 2013 at 2:02 pm #1127679Considering I am coming up on 10 years on IDO…. and IDO itself is coming up on 12 years , I’d like to see the old posts ??? Others are playing the “blame” game, not me… I am just keeping it real
Kinda tired hearing about the last 4 years & how terrible it was gonna be and now again… watch out for the “next 4 years”… seems like some have a syndrome that comes up about every 4 years I am trying to help them come to grips with reality… January 7, 2013 at 4:54 pm #1127757Whatever way we look at it, it is already done.
They just took back Millions of Dollars out of the current poor economy, IMHO!
Yes, I believe what they did helped the economy in a small way for the last Two Years, but there is much, much more to do!
Because of a few at one time dis-honest business people and then a few more here and there we have a huge burden of RED-TAPE cutting profits of millions of small businesses.
A close friend previously worked for a large Defense Dept. Contractor as a Senior Electrical Engineer. He complained all the time of the huge amount of RED_TAPE he had to go through on a daily basis.
1) Could not leave his cubicle without Locking his Computer.
2) Had to fill in time on his Online Time sheet every time he switched working on one project to another during the day. He might work on 8-10 projects each day and spend 20-minutes checking something, send it back, then re-check something else on the same job an hour later. Yet, each time he was required to spend the 2-3 minutes accessing his time sheet, recording and verifying his time working on that project. He ran a stopwatch one day and he had 1-hour, 14-minutes of filling out required time sheets and recording data.
3) He had to attend numerous seminars and classes each year, all required by Federal contracts. Last year he spent over 20-days attending these along with all of the others 2,500 others employees at his location. This alone amounts to over $20,000,000 at this lone locationNow, this is just one example.
We have a spending problem, as there is no way to increase taxes enough to put a dent in the deficit!
See example below, kind of put it in perspective:
Personally, I would like to see ALL Congressional, Senatorial & Presidential Pensions, Health Care and ALL others Perks ENDED, stopped. These people are supposed to be SERVANTS of the PEOPLE, Not sucking us down the hole to bankruptcy.
January 7, 2013 at 5:00 pm #1127765there is no way to increase taxes enough to put a dent in the deficit!
They certainly could increase taxes enough to put a dent in the deficit. You were doing well up until that point.
January 7, 2013 at 5:10 pm #1127770birddog, the guy I voted for is out of work right now. You missed my sarcasm.

I am saying he owns both. Did he not read the job description? And a growing economy is a relative term. You might think 1-2% GDP is growth, and I suppose technically it is, but I see it as stagnant.

I’m required to do these 3 things in my current postion in a Financial Services company. Not unreasonable at all. Pretty typical actually.

You are cracked
if you think the US government can tax it’s way out of this deficit. No way, not mathematically possible. The cost of living alone continues to climb like mad each year. Yet I keep seeing the government taking more of my hard earned money spending it on things I morally oppose. My employer says we can’t give raises due to poor margins. Until spending is drastically cut and applied immediately to our debt this deficit will only continue to grow exponentially. No way any group is going to step up and be the first to say, go ahead, take our funding. Cripes look what happened in WI when the first cuts were made just at a state level. Think anyone at the BIA is saying well, we have all this income from casinos now, we could use less from the US government??
I for one am completely tired of my taxes going to drug addicted welfare folks, groups who have unlimited income and pay little to no taxes to the US government and to programs such as Obamacare.

January 7, 2013 at 8:00 pm #1127848Kooty, If you had any morals you’d have paid off on our bet from a while back. It isn’t your money they need to tax. It is people who have the money who need it. People who cheat on their taxes hiding their money on offshore havens might be a good place to start. People who enjoy the protection of our military but never serve. PS not much of your money goes to welfare folks. A lot more goes to welfare for corporations who then invest in the politicians that gave it to them

Here’s where’s the money’s going in 2013.
http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/united_states_total_spending_pie_chart
We borrow roughly 50% of every dollar spent and to cover 2013’s budget we would need to raise another trillion in taxes.
Right now the USA is living in a financial fantasy world.

If you had any morals, you would provide your sources for this (that “corporate welfare” exceeds transfer payments).
Also, why do people who diversify using foreign banks cheat on their taxes?

I believe he was referring to individuals with off shore accounts, not corporations who have headquarters in tax havens.
Either way, I dont see how these individuals or corporations are cheating. Also, $60,000,000,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to $1,000,0000,000,000.
