^^^This is what we have to look forward to? Oh, goody. I really can't wait to have someone as charming as you "in charge." |
Yep. Same here - didn’t vote for him but now that I’m benefiting, I’m not going to sit here complaining on behalf of all these so called marginalized groups - who btw also benefit from a good economy. |
shhh don't tell anyone. Keep those successes on the down low. It goes against the liberal tone. |
So when the dems had the Whitehouse and congress, and the gov was shutdown, it was the republicans fault
Then when the dems had the Whitehouse and republicans had congress and the gov was shutdown, it was the republicans fault. Then when the republicans had the Whitehouse and the dems had congress and the gov was shutdown, it was the republicans fault. Then when the republicans had the Whitehouse and congress and the gov was shutdown, its the republicans fault. So when exactly is it EVER the democrats fault? |
Maybe when there isn't an abusive republican president who says the government needs a good shutdown? |
I expect this thread to get completely deleted. Jeff and Maria do not take kindly to obama criticisms. At all. |
Who did you vote for? |
You do realized that many feds still had to show up for work, right? Even though they didn’t know if they’d be paid for it. I’m glad that our dedicated federal employees manged to keep things running seamlessly so that you did not have to skip a beat. You should thank them. |
Not the pp you are responding to but the anger and frustration with conservatives in pp's post is very real and very much justified. |
You conveniently left a lot out. |

They don't benefit from 401k if they work at McDonalds. A bunch of those "so-called" marginalized groups are also disproportionately lower middle class/working poor -- earn too much to benefit from Medicaid but too little to be able to pay for health insurance. They make enough to get taxed, and they rely on the deductions that are being eliminated. They will be destroyed by tax cuts. So no, they don't always benefit from a "good economy." |
Were you making the same statements when the right threatened and forced closures in years past? |
Generally speaking, the dems haven't threatened or executed on closing down the government. These are threats and actions from the right. |
WRONG. There has never been a shutdown when the same party controlled Congress and WH. Think Obama-Boehner and Clinton-Newt. Again, a Dem-Dem and R-R shouttooo HAS NEVER HAPPENED. And why should it? If you have all the control, why should you need a power play? |
