<quoted text>What part of the term "corporate welfare" do you not understand; corporate, or welfare?

Allowing a business or person is not welfare. To imply that it is means you think the government owns everything. A very dangerous point of view.

He was a compassionate conservative. The Republicans have now turned on him, well except for Carol, so now he is a progressive.

Just think, we had a balanced budged....and then Bush was sworn in.
When will you right whiners ever ever ever ever ever ever admit that it was YOUR party that took us off the path of balanced budgets & onto the path of debt, deficits, unfunded wars, unfunded tax cuts,unfunded spending, unfunded record earmarks, a near financial meltdown, a housing collapse, and the worst recession on 80 years.

The balanced budget had to be shoved down Clinton's throat by the Conservative Congress. BJ Clinton even shut down the gubbermint for weeks, trying to force them to accept liberal-business-as-usual buying votes with Welfare.

Now you Socialist/Democrats want credit for reforming Welfare?

The budget took a dive when liberal Republicans replaced the conservatives in early 2000, then exploded when Princess Pelosi and the entitlement kings on the left took BOTH houses of Congress in 2006.

If you want balanced budgets, kick out the Socialist/Democrats and liberal Republicans, replace them with Conservatives.

By the way, do you think Lord Obama will EVER have a budget? It's been years since the federal gubbermint operated with one. Seems like Lord Obama doesn't want to be constrained to ANY budget.

How's the 100K sound room business? Those 1 percenters are keeping you golfing at the country club....
Cue the:>>>>>>

Homer could use a 100K sound room so I could crank up my Fender Strat(Made in the USA), without disturbing my neighbors. Maybe get back to writing songs, quit my day job, get back to being in a rock and roll band. Nah, f it.

Jonah Goldberg: Bush prescient in ‘compassionate conservative’ approach

Compassionate conservatism increasingly faded from view after 9/11. Bush ran as a war president first and a compassionate conservative at best second in 2004. Still, it’s worth remembering that Bush won a staggering (for a Republican) 44 percent of the Hispanic vote. Mitt Romney got 27 percent.

Moreover, according to exit polls, Romney decisively beat Barack Obama on the questions of leadership, values and economic expertise but was crushed by more than 60 points on the question of which candidate “cares about people like me.”

I still don’t like compassionate conservatism or its conception of the role of government. But given the election results, I have to acknowledge that Bush was more prescient than I appreciated at the time.

Morning Folks,
Thought I'd let ya'll know how your tax dollars are being spent.
Oct....can't recall all the Doctor visits but I shopped around for bargins and took the most expensive ones.
Nov....Dentist, error, I pay for that myself. To be honest dentist's are a rip off of Medicare funds. It's really just a scam, I've done my best to get it cut out.
Nov. 25th. Look out, I blew the budget wide open. Had blown out blood vessels in the esophogus and gut, not a preety site. Wife switced hats to abulance driver. She broke the record from here to there. Decided I was not done tossing up blood and headed to the Lav. Wife in hot persuit with wheel chair. In the middle of a big purge I kinda asked her to get someone to help. She only heard help and thought this would be a good time to wipe my mouth. Bad Idea, never block the exit in the middle of a blood vomit. Enter a real nurse wisking me off to behind the curtains and leaving the Men's Room looking like a Crime scene.
About that time my heart thought it was a good time to just quiver, not good for pumping blood. Long story short, heart got back into rythem, 2 blood transfusions, into the operating room, banded off 5 vessels.
I'm worth it folks, I'm worth it!
Today is some heart expert that will work on the heart quiver issue. Looks like an upgrade to a defib.
Keep smiling! Can someone lead a hand, this cross is getting heavy.

Be nice ifn the ECONOMY would allow fer it again. SOME of us DON'T like seeing our LOVED ones especially, have to SUFFER burdens of OTHERS crosses of their OWN doings especially!!!

Good choice Homer-that fame stuff is just SOOOOOO fleeting, and seemingly VERY UNfullfilling (just look at all the whackedout nutjobs like Derbil, in that place called HollyWIERD of CaliPHONYborkia!!)

Obama is just using Romney.

It is a tradition for the two candidates to meet after the election. Normally done without much fanfare. Of course Obama can never let a photo op go to waste.

Can't ya just answer RealDave's question without a bunch of diversionary excuses? Bush was handed a budget surplus, the CBO at the time projected that the debt would be all but paid off by 2013 ... what happened and who did it?

Clinton + Republican Congress got us a balanced budget.

Then Clinton left

Bush + basically same Congress got s debt & deficits.

What changed? Certainly, if it were the Republicans that pushed Clinton into it, those balanced budgets would have continued. But hey, who am I to argue with a dumbass like you.

Obamahas presented a budget every year.
