Default Democratic Congress Was Productive

According to a pair of Congressional experts the perception that Congress did not get anything done in 2007 is not accurate. Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institution said this year's sesson of Congress was definitely not a do nothing congress.

"In terms of new laws enacted, it compares favorably with the 104th Republican Congress which took office in 1994 elections," Mann said. According to him the 1994 congress failed to enact all but one provision of their Contract with America during its first year. By contrast most of the items on the Democratic new direction agaenda found they way into law.

Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute also gave the 2007 congress a passing record. Congress's record looked worse that it was, he said.

Both experts said that negative perceptions of congress resulted from not being able to end the war in Iraq, which they said was impossible give the democrats narrow margin, as well as the partisan bickering between republicans and president Bush. They also pointed out the accomplishments were made while Republicans and Bush did everything they could to slow down the progress.

Given the perception of the Democratic congress on this forum I found this to be interesting.

For two reasons actually.

One: this was a record non-response thread. Old Tool even highlighted that one time. But two, it remains true. The Democratic controlled congress under Nancy Pelosi was statistically more productive than any Republican controlled congress including Newt Gingrich.

Look it up yourself

Yeah well they seemed to over look a total financial and banking crash that they still are not doing anything about and the shit is still going on...

JP Morgan may lose 9 billion now?

The new scandal in England with the bankers fixing the Libor rate was going on as far back as 2007...
2 Barclays bank top guys are gone...maybe more...

Pelosi failed to pass a budget for fiscal 2010 and it had to be done after the Republicans took over Congress in the 2010 elections.
EPIC FAIL!

Why didn't Fearless Leader keep Pelosi and Reid in line after he got into the White House?

Obama is a great candidate, but a lousy leader.
The abject failure of Obama to handle Reid and Pelosi is a hallmark of his tenure.
The clusterfuck the Democrats did after Obama was elected reminds me of Will Rogers, who famously said,

"I am not part of an organized political party. I am a Democrat"

Res ipsa loquitur

Ace, did the Federal government get smaller under Reagan's two terms?
Did the Federal government get smaller under George H.W. Bush?
The Federal Government sure as hell didn't get any smaller under W.
Since 1980, there has been a Republican President for 2/3 of the time, but the Federal government never got smaller and has grown exponentially!

Only mongoloids expect the Republicans to create a smaller Federal government.
Sure, Republicans babble about it all the fucking time, but it never happens.

The last President who passed a balanced budget was Bill Clinton.
The last Republican President who passed a balanced budget was Eisenhower.

Do the math, Ace.

No that would be you telling the lies Ace. Nearly all governments have been reduced and especially the federal govenment under President Obama and all you on the right can do is lie about that.

What all of you are missing is this congress ended their session in 2007 with President Bush still in the White House and just before the GOP caused Great Recession.

But if anything what this thread really represents is the huge gap between reality and people's political perceptions.

Look it up yourself
Liberals like stumbler cry about the evil capitalists making lots of money. But totally overlook the fact that Nancy Pelosi used insider trading to make millions and millions of dollars all while she was Speaker of The House.

If you or I used insider trading we would be convicted of a felony and sent to prison for a very long time. As well as forfeiting all of our assets. Congress decided that insider trading would be legal for them only while SHE was in charge.

She is as crooked as they all are, Democrats and Republicans. But somehow the liberals conveniently overlook this fact and only see one side as the problem. Go figure?

Look it up yourself

You may disagree with how he did it, but to even suggest that going after the terrorists in their lair after 9/11 was pointless is the cowards mantra.

That was what Clinton did; he let the terrorists blow up our embassies, attack our marine barracks, and try to sink our ships, and the most he came up with was to lob a few tomahawks into the dessert.

And I said it in 1993 when we left Somalia after Mogadishu; we'll just have to go back in there and clean up that shit pool.

Say what you will about Bush; Clinton did more to advance the cause of terrorism against the US than any other president. If he had done the right thing then, I believe we'd never have had to live through 9/11.

See, he missed the history lesson from WWII; never, ever back down from a bully. And you only negotiate with him once you have a boot firmly planted on his neck.

Pointless war? Fuck that.

The war into Afghan is pointless, once Bora Bora was cleaned out the terrorists were gone, a swift diaspora across the sub continent and the mid east. The incursion into Iraq was just pointless, no records of terrorists there before, but plenty after.

You cannot say that 9/11 would not have happened if Clinton had done the right thing, there was plenty evidence that the planning was not done by Bin Laden, he apparently just provided financial support.

You do not take out terrorism by invasion but by surgical strikes, that would have saved a few Brit and American lives.

Wrong as usual. Federal employment is far below what it was during the Reagan Administration.

The Federal government, state governments, county governments, and local governments have all cut back not expanded Ace and just because the cost of doing business increases the cost of government which has to buy stuff goes up.

But don't try to deny you changed your story ace because its right in front of you.

This is also why so many pension funds are nearly broke. Because they trusted the private sector and allowed their funds to be invested in the biggest stock scam in history.

But that's what happens when it costs (nobody really knows for sure) somewhere between $13 and $30 Trillion to bail out the financial industry You know; welfare for the rich which Ace, that grand conservative, hardly ever bitches about

State and local government are required to balance their budgets,,when people are not working they are not paying taxes,, forcing that state and local governments to cut back,,the federal government is required by law to submit and pass an annual budget ,, which they have failed to do so for 3 consecutive years,, but the national debt continues to climb feverishly,, with NO end of the spending in site,, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GROWING.......And cost of doing business has not gone up by a $ trillion and a half annually.

Hey Ace show me where the federal government is required by law to submit and pass an annual budget would you? I'm not finding or seeing that anywhere.

Can you see it know.
Nope I can't see that bullshit at all Ace. Let's try looking at the facts for a change.

Obama spending binge never happened

Commentary: Government outlays rising at slowest pace since 1950s

Quote:
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree.
As would-be president Mitt Romney tells it: “I will lead us out of this debt and spending inferno.”
Almost everyone believes that Obama has presided over a massive increase in federal spending, an “inferno” of spending that threatens our jobs, our businesses and our children’s future. Even Democrats seem to think it’s true.
Government spending under Obama, including his signature stimulus bill, is rising at a 1.4% annualized pace — slower than at any time in nearly 60 years.
But it didn’t happen. Although there was a big stimulus bill under Obama, federal spending is rising at the slowest pace since Dwight Eisenhower brought the Korean War to an end in the 1950s.
Even hapless Herbert Hoover managed to increase spending more than Obama has.
Here are the facts, according to the official government statistics:
In the 2009 fiscal year — the last of George W. Bush’s presidency — federal spending rose by 17.9% from $2.98 trillion to $3.52 trillion. Check the official numbers at the Office of Management and Budget.
In fiscal 2010 — the first budget under Obama — spending fell 1.8% to $3.46 trillion.
In fiscal 2011, spending rose 4.3% to $3.60 trillion.
In fiscal 2012, spending is set to rise 0.7% to $3.63 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the budget that was agreed to last August.
Finally in fiscal 2013 — the final budget of Obama’s term — spending is scheduled to fall 1.3% to $3.58 trillion. Read the CBO’s latest budget outlook.
The big surge in federal spending happened in fiscal 2009, before Obama took office. Since then, spending growth has been relatively flat.
Over Obama’s four budget years, federal spending is on track to rise from $3.52 trillion to $3.58 trillion, an annualized increase of just 0.4%.
There has been no huge increase in spending under the current president, despite what you hear.
Why do people think Obama has spent like a drunken sailor? It’s in part because of a fundamental misunderstanding of the federal budget.



What people forget (or never knew) is that the first year of every presidential term starts with a budget approved by the previous administration and Congress. The president only begins to shape the budget in his second year. It takes time to develop a budget and steer it through Congress — especially in these days of congressional gridlock.



The 2009 fiscal year, which Republicans count as part of Obama’s legacy, began four months before Obama moved into the White House. The major spending decisions in the 2009 fiscal year were made by George W. Bush and the previous Congress.



Like a relief pitcher who comes into the game with the bases loaded, Obama came in with a budget in place that called for spending to increase by hundreds of billions of dollars in response to the worst economic and financial calamity in generations.

Thank you, Stumbler...I was hoping to get to that part of it after I got Ace to admit he was wrong about the other part. Fat chance.

It amazes me that he can just keep going in circles about this stuff. But that's what happens when you allow yourself to be brainwashed by people who are willing to tell you what you want to hear instead of what's actually happening.

I just don't get it......when the 1% has drained 50% of the net worth from the middle class and shifted that wealth to their own pockets why is it so bad to tax the 1% a few extra million to help ensure the safety net for this country.

There is no FREE Market anymore...it is all rigged and manipulated and set by those with the money.

MarketWatch Says Obama's Spending Binge Never Happened, Keeps Straight Face

Just when you thought media bias couldn't possibly be more blatant, along comes this article from MarketWatch, a purportedly trusted source of Wall Street news. (Never mind that MarketWatch is operated by CBS, who should change their acronym to Cooing Barack Supporters ... but I digress).
This article so blatantly misrepresents the facts that it's difficult to know where to start:

But the second argument is even more powerful. The Bush budgets - you remember, back in the day, when we actually passed budgets - never exceeded $2.5 Trillion, and deficit spending never exceeded $500 Billion. DEFICIT SPENDING HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED SINCE OBAMA TOOK OFFICE. Overall spending has increased by upwards of 50% since 2006, when the Democrats took control in Congress and the Senate. This chart is from the White House website:
http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/lt1...ge-never-happe

Try again.

Its not and the Bush Tax Cuts are only one of the arteries where the bleeding needs to stop. Here's another one that's really easy.

We hear them screaming Social Security is insolvent. Its going broke. Its breaking the government and the nation. All lies but let's say that its true in 2036 or something like that the program will be paying our more than its taking in.

Fine, lift the cap on contributions that favor again that !% and we make social security solvent for the next 70 years.

I point out again neither you nor your source could dispute the actual numbers and research. All you could do is fall back on your old favorite ad homenim logical fallacy. Which is your only choice when the facts prove you wrong.

The story is the price of Gold....

Bush walks into to office and it was 235 bucks an oz
Bush leaves office it is 1250 bucks an oz

That is how much he fucked up the USA printing and destroying the currency of this country.

Bush has some significant blame for what Bush has done during his 2 terms, and I can accept it,,Bush was a RINO,,and I wont protect Bush,,like you are protecting Obama.

Bush's terms are over,,hind site is 100%,,Obama is at the wheel todayand nothing is getting better for the future of our kids and grandkids,,just more debt to be paid off.

You leftist can play the race card and the blame Bush card all you want,,that is serious telling signs of how Obama is doing.

The thing is it's not as simple as his presidency being over, the things he did are still effecting the shape of current events. You can't just dismiss everything that came Obama and say "Look how bad he's made everything."

Also, you really need to stop putting two commas when there's only a need to use one. It's an eyesore for anyone with an elementary school education.

So far it looks like the best thing Bush did was appoint John Roberts to the SC....

Whoa there pardner. That's one of those things I'd never personally thought of but when I just read it the truth jumped out at me unmistakably and just rang.

And if you listened to Glenn Beck and Goldline it should be $2,000 by now.

Then stop with the bullshit lies that its President Obama increasing the size of government when the facts are the opposite.

But every time you start talking about that deficit you better acknowledge Bush's part first and then I won't have to,.

And I say again what I'm not willing to stand for are the absolute lies that President Obama is spending money out of control, government is growing, nothing is being done to cut the deficit, and conservatives can be trusted with money.

It is trading now between 1550 and 1700 on fear of total banking collapse which is still in the cards no mater what anyone says....

The biggest banks just turned in a report to the FDIC explaining how to break them up when/if they go under....

NOW this is what pisses me off with Obama....about two Hundred of those banking fuckers should be heading to prison right now but his justice dept has not even indicted anyone.

These bankers are still pulling all this shit.....they have no fear at all to stay in line. They own our fucking govt.
