claire mccaskill is still a dumbass...

This morning, on the way to work, I heard claire mccaskill talking about the need for compromise on the debt ceiling solution.

That's great, except for a couple of minor details. We, the conservatives in this Country, have allowed our elected officials to "compromise" us into this situation in the first place. If we had forced our government to stick by the conservative principles that this Country was founded on, we wouldn't have $14 TRILLION dollars worth of debt. We would have zero debt.

And second, there is no compromising with democrats. It's like trying to make a deal with a rattlesnake, even if he only bites you little bit you are still snakebit.

The deal that Boehner is signing us up for is a bad one. And Boehner is starting to sound like a democrat too. He says there are no tax increases in this deal. Well, wait a minute, part of the "savings" in this thing counts on not renewing the Bush tax cuts. Ok, well, no matter how democrats want to slice it, that is a tax increase. Back during the Bush presidency, George W. decided to let us keep more of our own money, our money, the money we earn when we go to work, not the fucking government's money. The government doesn't have any money, they have what we pay in taxes. It is ours, not theirs. There is quite a bit of confusion in washington about that money. We entrust them to spend that money to protect us, give us good roads and provide the BASIC services we need to live our lives. It is not their money. I can't say that loud enough, often enough.

Anyway, since Bush allowed us to keep more of our own money, if the democrats decide not to renew those tax cuts again, it is a tax increase, they will be taking more of our money.

Boehner, reid, pelosi and obama can describe it in any way they like, but they can't make it anything other than more taxes.

So, if claire mccaskill thinks that compromise is going to get us out of the looming financial disaster that is right over the horizon, she is a dumbass. The Republicans had a decent plan in Cut, Cap and Balance. It's not a perfect plan, but it is several steps in the right direction. The current plan that will be voted on today has NO REAL SPENDING CUTS, none. It reduces the growth of future spending, but even that isn't effective for two years.

claire mccaskill, this line of thinking, or lack of thinking, is one of the main reasons you will be unemployed in 2012...

You Paid For It: Sen. McCaskill’s Air Claire Hypocrisy

I don't know Ed Martin, but if I ever meet him I'll buy him a beer. This is some damn fine reporting and near and dear to my heart. I despise a hypocrite and mccaskill has proven she is that and more. Not only is she a hypocrite, she doesn't give a damn about the people of Missouri. She cares about claire mccaskill and what she can gain from her current position. It sure seems like she has gained a lot.

Read the rest of this article at the link below. The ties between mccaskill's private businesses and her votes as a politician. It sure seems as if there could be some conflict of interest going on, and with her record so far, I have to doubt that it was unintentional...

All Americans should thank Senator Claire McCaskill for showing – yet again – how the liberal economic “jobs” plan works for politicians instead of people.

A few years ago after her election to the U.S. Senate, McCaskill and her husband bought an airplane to use as their own charter company. She then paid her own company using tax payer dollars from her Senate office budget to fly back and forth to Missouri for official and political events.

Liberals seem to love this kind of business: funded by tax payer dollars, with no bid contracts, entirely self-dealing, and with complete secrecy.

Is it just me, or does that also remind you of the so-called Stimulus bill McCaskill helped President Obama pass in 2009?

Flash forward to a few weeks ago when McCaskill was confronted about her sketchy business deal. McCaskill did what any good taxpayer-subsidized businessperson might do. She sold the plane and shut the scheme down.

After all, it’s tough to run an airplane charter business without taxpayer payments.

It gets worse for Air Claire. The public realized (even the press) that using taxpayer dollars to pay yourself is wrong. The pressure was unbearable and McCaskill whipped out her personal checkbook and re-paid the federal treasury with an $88,000 check. It’s shameful when you game the system to the point of being politically forced to pay back a taxpayer subsidy.

As I watched the Air Claire story develop – I started http://www.airclaire.com/ to help people stay informed – I knew there were more questions not being asked.

McCaskill had been keeping the plane in Delaware and Illinois, two states that do not impose personal property taxes. Well, Missouri does. So, was McCaskill, a committed liberal millionaire who advocates soaking the rich, actually dodging taxes?

Yes, Air Claire was trying to pay fewer taxes. Caught again and pressured by the public, McCaskill pulled out her checkbook and wrote a check for over $300,000 for back taxes on the plane.

Not only was McCaskill paying her own company taxpayer dollars to fund her travels, she avoided paying taxes to the state she supposedly serves.

This is a trend with liberal power-players. Remember how Tom Daschle and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner were exposed for skipping out on taxes? It’d be different if these politicians didn’t preach for higher taxes, but these hypocrites love higher taxes for their constitutes yet hate to pay up themselves.
