WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Also, the Senate is responsible for Budgets.

Article I, Section 7 states that all revenue bills shall originate in the House of Representatives but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on any other bills. The reason for this is that at the time the Constitution was written, it was felt that Senators would be more wealthy than Representatives and might be willing to spend more government money than the Representatives would. Also, the House with its greater numbers was seen as being the better guage of the wishes of the people for spending measures.

Revenue bills were only to originate in the House because members of the House of Representatives are the only federal officials elected directly by the people. Senators, up until the ratification of the 17th Amendment in 1913, were chosen by the state legislatures. And the president was chosen by the Electoral College. At the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787 it was felt that, in order for the new federal government to have sufficient legitimacy to gain popular support, it was imperative that at least part of the government would always have a popular mandate. Hence the three words at the beginning of the Constitution are "We the People." This meant that the new government would derive its authority directly from the people and not from state governments.

What this shows is is that there were only two time periods during the 111th Congress when the Democrats had a 60 seat majority:

From July 7. 2009 (when Al Franken was officially seated as the Senator from Minnesota after the last of Norm Coleman’s challenges came to an end) to August 25, 2009 (when Ted Kennedy died, although Kennedy’s illness had kept him from voting for several weeks before that date at least); and
From September 25, 2009 (when Paul Kirk was appointed to replace Kennedy) to February 4, 2010 (when Scott Brown took office after defeating Martha Coakley);
For one day in September 2009, Republicans lacked 40 votes due to the resignation of Mel Martinez, who was replaced the next day by George LeMieux

So, to the extent there was a filibuster proof majority in the Senate it lasted during two brief periods which lasted for a total of just over five months when counted altogether (and Congress was in its traditional summer recess for most of the July-August 2009 time frame).

This may, very possibly, be the most absurd response ever.

The senate does Budgets. Budgets. Budgets. Got it!

For 2 years, Democrats held a majority of both the House of Representatives and the US Senate...AND the Presidency.

Your "filibuster-proof" reference is rubbish.

When it comes to economics, you guys, you have to be able to discern cause and effect and the timing of cause and effect. The huge error many make is to look at a given action or circumstance and misjudge completely when the effect takes place and how long the effect lasts and when it ends.

From 1980 to 2007, the public income from compensation was flat and meager, but the spending money that powered the GDP and the economy during that period came from the public borrowing on credit cards, department store credit, car loans, education loans and ofcourse home loans. The spending money source from home loans soared and eclipsed the other free flowing sources of money due to MBS, derivatives and the shadow banking system duplicating in spades the efforts of FNMA and GNMA together with the boom of toxic lending and other malfeasons that accompanied the shadow banking system.

The point is, people, the 27 years of economic growth from 1980 to 2007 was a faux economy supported by crazy money, that is to say borrowed money and not wage earnings...now, everyone is in debt and cannot borrow any more. Student loans are maxed out, credit cards are maxed out, home loans are maxed out and many homeowners are under water together with depressed realty values. There is no borrowing going on because everyone (not the top 2%'ers, but the bottom 98%'ers) is maxed out on debt...that's a different situation than existed in 1970. The overly indebted public finally couldn't borrow anymore to fund the economy and down came our economy in 2008. The economic status that breached in 2008 is still with us. That bust that happened because of public overleveraging led to unemployment and a Great Recession...and the overindebtedness still exists and earnings for the botom 98%ers are still as flat as ever. That's why we are still in the economic abyss!

Now, having two unfunded wars, one of which broke records in duration, at the same time that Bush decreased taxes and provided an unfunded Medicare Part D that prohibits bargaining with Pharma doesn't help the economy either. Be advised that this is the first time in history we waged a war without increasing taxes to pay for it! These wars are lasting forever and then not to pay for it? Ask yourself..."Would that have anything to do with the National Debt balance we have today? You know, 2 wars and a tax break? Come on, man.

Now, if you can't see the salient facts for what they are, if you can't take the meager amount of time to read books on what caused the 2008 meltdown and verify the big picture stats (readily available on the internet) that coincide with GDP growth, household incomes from earnings , credit card debt, mortgage debt, student loan debt and the related household tracking of household debt, and distribution of wealth among individuals in percentiles between 1970 to 2008 and see for yourself what the real facts are, then how can you authoritatively cast your opinions on what the mistakes were, what factors are at work underlying our current economic malaise...when did those factors start, how long is the duration of their existence, when did those effects from those factors begin, how long are they the case, and how long will they be reasonably expected to continue?

I don't see how anyone can logically blame one administration over the other with any credibility if you don't know the festoring history of the factors and facts and the underlying micro and macroeconomics at play.

guess that is why the stock market is flirting with records again.

Someone is making money and the economy must be doing well in some sectors.

Not sure about where you live but housing prices are increasing as well. I recently heard that San Diego is expecting more revenue than predicted. In addition, the State of California is expected to have a budget surplus in the next year or two....and go figure...they just raised taxes:light:

When tax RATES are lowered, tax revenue increases... because more people are working and paying tax... also buying more stuff, which helps EVERYONE.

Raise taxes (on the 'rich', but is really mostly small business) and less jobs are created, more people lose jobs, less people paying taxes... what we have now.

You can't solve this by ever increasing taxation of small businesses and the few 'rich'. Nearly HALF of adult Americans pay NO taxes at all, and they are the ones that take most of the benefits of government programs.

As it is now, the top 2% pay (almost) 50% of the taxes... just how greedy is government going to get (before every 'rich' person or business really LEAVES)?

The Reagan tax cuts created the greatest peacetime boost to the U.S. treasury in history. Our coffers didn't swell because the Democrats reneged on their promise to not increase spending as they were in control of congress... More money came in, and more money went out.

Bush '1' was fooled by the Democrats when they tricked him into signing a tax increase, after he promised 'no new taxes', then they used that to defeat him and bring in Clinton... who looked great to voters on his re-election BECAUSE Republicans were in power after his first term (Americans wanted to stop Hilary-care) and our country was on sound financial ground with a balanced budget (Republican congress/Democrat president).

His VP (Al Gore) nearly won in 2000, but no matter how many times they recounted the Florida votes, they never could pull it off, hanging chads and all... even the Supreme Court had to stop the third or fourth recount and let the new guy get on with it.

Bush prevented 9-11 from destroying our economy by reducing tax rates again... and it worked... and Republicans got control of congress after (the people were so jazzed). Then, the Republicans began to spend like Democrats... same thing, more $$ came in and too much went out. The people fired the Republicans for not being conservative, so in came the Democrat congress of 2007, they made things worse, said it was Bush's fault (he was still president)... people fell for that... McCain (not a conservative) was all we could put up against Obama who dazzled so many, and then you had a full leftest government until 2011 when we got the House back for some counter-measure.

Sadly with National-Socialism intruding into the lives of everyone (Obama-care), and us not having a dynamo to win in 2012, it is really now scary for us and our children's future...

Isn't it funny how when Bush was president, the shouts from the leftist media was "How are you going to pay for that?" Why do we NEVER hear that from the media when a Democrat is president and he not only spends more than Bush, but spends more than all presidents since George Washington... COMBINED!!???







[Edited on 3-3-2013 by David K]


Just a clarification...if you are not working as much as you were in the past, does that make you one of the people not paying taxes:?: Should we follow the rhetoric and come after you? No, we should close corporate tax loop holes as well as invest in our economy...yes investing in our economy.

Each month I invest money in the stock market, in housing, and to pay down my personal debt...funny thing....I also strive to increase my revenue....what a crazy concept...reduce spending, invest, and strive to increase my revenue....:?:

The stock market is not doing well using traditional PE ratios. It is purely an emotional buy and not from strong economic principals used for years. It is kind of like going to vegas. In vegas, you are either a slot machine player, hoping that you have the luck of hitting the jack pot. Or you play Craps or Black Jack becuase there are hard facts of how to win and the player has control of how to move forward with bets and options.

Many in the stock market today are playing the same game, including me.

Investing, in my opinion, is like have a series of buckets in front of you and they are labeled:

Real Estate

Mutual Funds that cover, Prescious metals, Foreign stocks, Domestic Stocks, Petroleum, dividends etc.

Real holdings of precious metals

Options (to bet against the market)

Cash

Foreign Currency

The only guy to listen to on TV that tells it as it is is Jim Krammer, the rest of them have no clue!!

I agree with you to some extent....seems like there is so much market manipulation whether it be the Street, real estate, commodities...you name it.

But what about the companies sitting on piles of cash? What about the record profits from a lot of companies...it's not all smoke and mirrors.

The only thing I want to know from this thread is the actual border wait at the US/Mexican border longer due to the sequestration or is it about the same?

The other stuff about Bush being a great President is funny. Bush ran the US economy into the ground, and put the US on a brink of another deep depression with stock market values losing nearly 50 percent on the major indexes.

Obama has been busy digging the US out of the hole Bush put America in, and a byproduct of Obama's work are great stock market returns the last few years, and it's looking good again this year.

My goodness what is CortezBlue talking about when he says, " The stock market is not doing well using traditional PE ratios. It is purely an emotional buy and not from strong economic principals used for years."

CortezBlue doesn't tell us how he uses the PE ratio, but traditionally stock market pros look for stocks with low PE's, and they look at high PE ratios at being a sign the stock is over heated and it might be time to sell. Of course when a stock is hot, the PE ratio is often ignored for awhile and other stock market signals or factors are looked at.

The PE of S&P 500 ratio is not too high, and in fact it's looking pretty good, and not out of line of the last few years, and the PE average of 17.27 in 2013 is nowhere near the PE levels of the late 90's, and early 2000's that often had high PE ratios in the high 20's and 30's during the stock market's bull market of the Clinton years, and the stock market bubble that started to go south during the end of Clinton's second term, and busted during the Bush years, and 911.

There is no Las Vegas mentality with stock market fundamentals like the PE this year, however there is macroeconomic issues worldwide that could hurt the US stock market at any time.

I hope that's a joke. Jim Cramer is the guy who was telling people to buy right up until the market tanked, then told everyone to get their money out of the market at precisely the best time in fifty years to get into the market.
