FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Your posts are reaching Mark2010 level for comparisons and doodah-esque in obtuseness.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

But here's the question, why didn't the GOP bring it up as a cudgel against Obama? And why aren't they hammering him about it now?

When you married her, did you expect to have sex with her every night?

The payroll tax hike is just that, a hike. And keeping most of the Bush rates the same was not a new tax cut. It is an insult to the language to claim otherwise.

That said, the payroll tax cut was a part of the evil, no good, America-hating Obama stimulus that never helped nobody. Or at least that is what we were told by the people now using it as a political prop.

No, we were definitely dealing with a short-term stimulus program back then ...

It's like everyone in Washington forgot about. Now most of the low information crowd is in for a January surprise.

It would have been nice if Washington was upfront about this increase but it clearly would have ruined the narrative.

I am willing to bet that payroll departments have been inundated with questions about checks being wrong.

I bet the sales of Mochachino's are down this year.

Any HR department that didn't send a memo out needs a new director.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

No doubt they did but how many read the memo?

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

I'm at a complete loss as to how to make it up to these geniuses. ;D

Japan going to spend the big bucks with a $224 billion stimulus. An extra billion for defense. The country has been stuck in the muck for more than 20 years.

Algore won't have to worry about stimulus. He got his and the sheep back at his old post are losing their wool....

"After buying Al Gore’s Current TV channel for $500 million, Al Jazeera won’t officially take over the programming until April. That leaves the current staff of leftwing idealists still on the job, but feeling used and disillusioned. The New York Post reports that they had an uncomfortable video conference call with their new bosses, two top Middle Eastern executives, with Gore’s partner Joel Hyatt by their side. One Current TV staffer said, “Of course Al didn’t show up. He has no credibility.” If he had shown up, he wouldn’t have liked what he’d heard from his former employees. They called him unrepeatable names and pointed out that he’d had them do stories about the tax code, then rushed through the sale to avoid taxes; and “Mr. Clean Energy” wouldn’t even accept advertising from Big Oil, then he sold the channel to the emir of Qatar. As one angry staffer summed it up, saying, quote: “Al was always lecturing us about green. He kept his word about green all right—as in cold, hard cash!” Still, you have to admit, it worked. Thanks to this deal, Al Gore is now officially richer than Mitt Romney."
