My case in point: in 2012 the Koch brothers made 11 billion in profit yet still laid off over 25% of their workers in Green Bay, many middle aged. Now they need to find retraining, find a job, and still support their families. Most ended up losing their homes or at the very least downsizing. What CEO has every lost their home, needed to be retrained, or lost their life savings trying to make ends meet after a business went under or they got fired?
What I heard from Obama is that one man cannot make a successful business without good workers and good workers should be recognized for their contribution to the organization. Currently the climate is that only the CEO is of any importance and should take advantage of their workers any way they can.
Also during that measaly 2 years, Republicans fillibustered more times than ANY MINORITY IN HISTORY. Also during that time Bush DID use veto power 11 times.
Pelosi's congress was the most obstructed congress in history. Unless you can identify some specific policies they got passed and tell me why those caused 8 years of gdp and job stagnation retroactively --you can't really blame them. There wasn't much they could do.
Now the 6 previous years with Pubs in the House, Senate, Scotus, Potus, most governorships... they went wild with completely unopposed power. I remember telling my Republican parents at the time over coffee in 2001 "Well Republicans have EVERYTHING now... so it should be economic paradise any time... I'll be waiting." The Bush tax cuts are still in effect and I'm still waiting.
You just pissed that President bush did such a good job of rebuilding after the Dotcom crash and 9/11 and your guy has done such a bad job that we are now bankrupt !
See how I have you know facts and stuff to back me up? If you had those you'd be a liberal.
We were bankrupt when "my guy" took office. He got stuck with the bill for "your guys" insane policies.
"to grow their own power" hahah man yeah they're sitting around saying yeah lets crash the economy so we can "grow our own power" by losing the senate. How exactly do you get from banks making bad loans to Democrats getting power?
Democrats want to lower MY taxes and raise their own. They sometimes stand up for things that would distinguish them from corporate lobbyists.
Republicans ARE corporate lobbyists. They want to raise MY taxes and lower their own.
HAHAHAH over the top spending? Man you crack me up!
Try lowest federal spending since Eisenhower! And that's straight from the Republican run CBO!
Seriously I'd put some winged horses in your fantasy world but give them laser eyes.

Reading is power. Next time, read first then speak.
Here is an article with a reference link to the research that proves people who watch Fox News are the most misinformed people.

Right wingers are unable to read or listen to a news article without having a talk radio host explain it to them. Unlike the vast majority of moderates who read an article and know which parts are opinion and which are claiming to be fact, and if we question those facts, which we usually do, we then research the accuracy of what was said. The right takes one look at who the article is written by and with great prejudice, accepts or rejects the article BEFORE even being read.
"Just because a person who criticizes you is an idiot doesn’t make him wrong" - Roger Rosenblatt
or in political terms, "Just because the person writing the article is biased, doesn't automatically make him wrong."
If you really want to have some fun and see just how brainwashed the right wing is, post negative comments about a Republican and you will be called a lib'rul, socialist, commie pink-o lefty even if you are a moderate. To the Republican sheeple, if you are not a right-wing brainwashed nutjob, you are a lefty-lib'rul.
Oh and it was the defense department built the internet (that department Obama wants to gut - you remember) or maybe it was Gore but most intelligent people know it was the defense department. As to roads, are you under the impression that they did not exist before the government - if so you are sadly mistaken - seems we did business for some time before the interstate system was built.
The stupidity of thinking that government began all positive things before anything was invented is stunning. Stunningly stupid.
Yes the defense dept created the internet what's your point? I don't see Obama "gutting" it at all, maybe getting rid of some planes we never ever use and never will. Is there any room in your mind for nuance between cutting wasteful programs and "gutting the defense department?"
And what place with "no government" ever had anything like our interstate highway system? Your rant reminds me of the "What have the Romans ever done for us..." skit in Monty Pithon's Life of Brian.
Just because you chose to live in denial of these facts doesn't make them "stupid." More innovation comes when more people have the opportunity to achieve it. An ordered society with an accountable government makes that possible. Who put a man on the moon? Got rid of Small Pox?
