Obama's fiscal cliff

I heard he's going cliff diving in Hawaii during his 4 million dollar 20 day vacation starting jan 2 the same day as the fiscal cliff. During the last 4 years his personal travel cost the tax payers 1.4 billion but I think he's shooting for 2 billion this term so the rich better pony up.

Since his Supporters use Welfare and other government money to buy drugs I guess I wouldn't expect anything less

Doesn't the cliff hit 12/31?

And tax payers covering all presidential travel (except for during campaigning) whether that be to Hawaii or Nantucket or Kennebunkport or Crawford.

Yep. It's a well known fact that everyone who voted for Obama;

a) is on welfare
b) uses that money to by drugs.


weird they all remembered to vote.

True not everyone. But when you live off of government assistance and the other guy is going to take away that money you'll be suprised how motivated you can get. It's called voting for a living.

That's politically toxic they would never have the votes for this. Although the gas tax does collect less than it used to as cars have become more efficient. This has resulted in less money for highway/street repairs.

The government makes more on a gallon of gas than gas companies. What's hurting the prices of gas are the lack of drilling permits from Obama.

Hmmm, odd that 4.1% (http://www.statisticbrain.com/welfare-statistics/) of Americans are on welfare and it takes at least 50% to win an election, yet somehow you say this 4.1% makes up his entire voting base???

Teeeechnically not true. You can win the electoral college without winning the popular vote. It has happened like once or twice in history. However, yes, Obama had over 50% of the vote.

Obama phones, people who think they get free healthcare, people who pay no fed taxes, people on unemployment, people on Medicare, people on disablitity, people on social security, the 48 million on food stamps. Ya it adds up

So people are using their "free" healthcare/medicaid money, their social security money (which dont forget they paid into), and their food stamps all to buy drugs?

A pair of recent economic reports seems to present contradictory assessments of consumer attitudes about the economy. However, taken together, perhaps they just emphasize the financial doubt and confusion that is so easy to understand at this time of political brinksmanship.

And this is why you can't have nice things.

Of course, it could be worse. You could be the UK, with ~400% external debt to GDP...

Soon after two recent reports on consumer financial attitudes appear to offer contradictory findings in Feb. But could the reports suggest a fundamental and justifiable doubt about the economic climate? The Obama Administration won the election on the promise that things would get a lot better. It's a big promise, and I don't think they can keep it. As a result it's time to start thinking very carefully about what you will do for your family if things get a lot worse.

May be just a troll... but the fact that the gallons supply is going to run out, we're lucky it's the price it is. The price needs to be regulated to slow the process... other countries have it worse than the U.S., imagine that?!
