Ryan and Bachamann are people you should avoid. These two think others should die for them to live. They hate others having health insurance while themselves have government insurance. Their districts have highest unemployment and foreclosures. Business in their districts have shipped jobs abroad. These two do not see that as a problem. Why? They have 6 digits salaries from taxpayers. Let's vote them out next election. Like Ex-governor Tommy Thompson, they will learn how others live. Tommy is now looking for employment. By other way, did you see how timid Ryan and Bachamann looked during their rebuttals. Terrible.
Paul Ryan like Bill, Hannity, Karl Rove and the rest at FoxNews want us go back to 8 years of Bush administration? They really want government out of our lives or not to be involved in investment. So they are telling us to revisit pure capitalism? No! We did that and did not work. During 8 years of Bush administration the government had miniscule role. WallStreet, Banks, big business run the country. See what happened. The country came to a halt-bankrupt. People were cheated at WallStreet, big banks were closing doors. Some people killed themselves finding their investments had evaporated. How did you like banks charging you bogus charges? How about insurances-they denied you pre-existing conditions, if you lose your job, not pay costs if you stayed too long in hospital? Insurance premiums were going up every year. O'rielly one time during his show whined his premium had gone up by 25% in one year. None of that with Obama as president. One role of the government is to protect us as citizen from being killed or killing one other. We humans-selfish. We do everything to make the best of others. Pure capitalism is BS. FoxNews should not lie to the public. Another government role is to promote economy and innovations. Bill, was talking to a democrat congressman who informed us the Internet was discovered by the government and then private sector came in and distributed it to us all. You know government universities do research and pass their findings to private sector. The government has role to invest and then private sector takes over. Look what banks have been doing in the last year. They have been sitting tight with their money. You cannot borrow money for business if your credit score is low. Therefore poor credit business people who want to retool business cannot get money. That delays innovations. Also do you know CEOs with good credit score easily borrow your savings in your local banks to establish businesses abroad. CEO are using your own money to ship your jobs abroad. So you want government not to intervene. You have to spend money to get create more money. The government has a role in investing in innovations. Be careful what you say government. Pure capitalism is just as evil as pure socialism. Business sector is perfect if government sees that we do not cheat or kill one another. You remember in 2006 New York coast line was almost sold to Yemen business people? Our nation security was at stake. FoxNews people pretend to forget that? We have to involve government in creating jobs. FoxNews and its hosts again mentioned the fate of future generation. That is a lie. Pure capitalists and FoxNews people do not care for the future. They care to be rich now. In fact if we now improve the economy, we are creating better future for our children. Pure capitalism failed 8 years ago and we are not going back.
Time is nearly past for salvaging the US economy. We need to reduce spending but we also need to reduce government control and government size. Reducing spending will not salvage the US economy alone, we need to increase government revenue ALSO. What if there were a way to increase government revenue without a direct burden upon the US citizen taxpayer. When I shop for everyday life, 50%+ of the items on the shelf are imported, sitting there with little or no import tax revenue for the US government. NAFTA has failed the US economy with loss of jobs and loss of import tax revenue. Step 1: repeal NAFTA step 2: levy stiff import tax on ALL imports step 3: collect the revenue to boost government income without a direct burden upon the US citizen taxpayer. I would strongly suggest that we cannot salvage the US economy when we send 50%+ of store shelf revenue to other countries to rebuild their ecomomies at the same time that we are trying to rebuild ours. Save America First ! Thank You for Free Speech, Jerry 9500
When Paul Ryan gave the republican response to the president's speech, I went to the bathroom, fed my cat,and nuked some left over chili. Paul is smart. So,I know he learned last night, that it is never a good idea to be the second act after an Obama speech. Remember Bobby Jindall? Most people don't
Lucillioness: Paul Ryan was duped by John Boehner and Mitchell McConnell. Nobody in GOP wanted to give the rebuttal. John was afraid he would do his cry-baby again. Mitchell chickened out. Another GOP governor said No. Now Paul is paying to allow these two to fool him. Poor Paul, all people including republicans are laughing at him.
As selected to respond, Paul Ryan looked timid and afraid of what he was talking about. Maybe because Paul voted for the bail outs and therefore could not abandon his vote. He was lucky he was re-elected last year. I believe TEA Partiers and Republicans did not know Paul voted to increase the deficit. And the Congress woman from Minnesota really, as TEA Party rep, made a mess of herself. Her response just collided with that Paul Ryan. I was further surprised why she gave a rebuttal in the first place. Is she running as TEA Party person for US presidential ticket?
With a few of the Tea Party elected, if they are all as bright as Ryan and Bachmann, I expect the folks who vote T P candidates will reconsider their choices next time.
The next generation will inherit a stagnant economy and a diminished country.
