Lakshmi.Zerowone said: » http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-not-know-much-nato-alliance-wolf-blitzer-cnn-obsolete-a7702201.html?amp Who knew military alliances were so complicated? Can pretty much apply that to his entire Presidency thus far. That guy who is constantly wrong, and also an economic denier said: » Nah I'm good, since you have proven nausi wrong and we know reconciliation is going to be a huge problem, I am interested in seeing any ideas on how Trump is going to offset his fantasy tax plan without breaking 1 or more of his campaign promises. As for the reconciliation/breaking campaign promises, who cares? As long as tax reform is actually done, that's all that matters. Knowing you, however, you are going to harp about a campaign promise that wasn't made and consider it a great victory for you and your side. Good for you, glad you finally found something to be happy about. Who cares anyway? Promises are nice, but actions are what is important. lol, what about the trump fantasy actually qualifies as tax reform? Raising/lowering taxes isn't reforming the system. Not that any action is going to be taken.
Nausi said: » So if we were to accept you're premise and revenues double irrelevant of tax rates, what is the harm in lowering taxes? The other flaw was that ALL revenue is considered in that argument so increased revenue attributable to tax increases in other areas are conflated with effects of tax decreases. Basically, it's more complicated than taxes go down, revenue goes up, which most logically-minded individuals would conclude. One of this really matters at this point as it's just something the Donald is throwing out there... it's not going to happen the way he wants it too... I doubt most republicans would even support this plan as is...
'Height of Hypocrisy': Obama Called Out for Planned Big-Money Speech to Wall St. Firm
Sources are bad, mmk? Especially if you are an economic denier. Quote: Former President Barack Obama reportedly agreed to give a lucrative speech to Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald LP. But many are now pointing back to the 44th president's harsh criticism of the financial industry, including calling Wall Street bankers "fat cats." Fox Business Network's Charlie Gasparino broke the story, reporting that Obama's speaking fee will be $400,000, nearly twice as much as Hillary Clinton received for similar appearances. Gasparino said Obama has agreed to be the keynote speaker on health care at an event in September. A spokesman for the former president didn’t return a call for comment; a spokeswoman for Cantor said the firm is not in a position to comment just yet, but would not deny that Obama has agreed to speak to the firm and at the $400,000 fee, he reported. On "Fox & Friends," Kristin Tate, author of "Government Gone Wild," said the speech would be the "height of hypocrisy" after his harsh criticism of Wall Street. "It's all about personal gain for Obama," she said, adding it's not surprising for a politician to "cash out" after they're out of office. "But Democrats end up looking more hypocritical than Republicans because it's the Democrats who constantly rail against greedy, rich bankers and rich business people," said Tate. lol.
You forgot "That's adorable" there, Mr. Economic Denier
Whatever you say kid. All that matters is you keep entertaining us.
Quote: On "Your World," Gasparino and Neil Cavuto both questioned why the mainstream media isn't focusing on this story.

Neither is Bush but that doesn't stop liberals from giving him ***constantly! Constantly eh? The only time I see Bush in the news is when he releases a new painting. Get used to the stories of Obama receiving very lucrative speaking fees all across the globe. Or keep crying about it @KN.  Of course, that only applies when he is requiring your votes. Once that's out of the way, he's open season for all sorts of sellouts.

Nausi said: » ... My father drinks the stuff, he loves glenlivit. I assume that's a decent brand.... Nausi said: » I mean I can more readily enjoy Bacardi 151 I would also mention that most people can't "get into scotch" until their mid - late 30s. Odin.Slore said: » Cerberus.Pleebo said: » Quote: On "Your World," Gasparino and Neil Cavuto both questioned why the mainstream media isn't focusing on this story. Neither is Bush but that doesn't stop liberals from giving him ***constantly! In any case it's not like it's abnormal for people to be critical of past presidents... people here still take every opportunity, and sometimes make some, to bash on obama... it's like some people want to call out hypocrisy by being hypocritical lol... Being paid for a speech is helping bankers out how exactly?
I like bush and I think he gets a bad wrap but when people ***on him they ***on what he did WHILE he was president not WHAT he does after (Most of the time they praise him for the stuff he did after).
Regardless if I was offered 400k to talk to a few rich guys, I'd do it. Lakshmi.Flavin said: » I really don't hear anyone talking about him... Cerberus.Pleebo said: » Being paid for a speech is helping bankers out how exactly? That's not really that unusual either... are you gonna *** at trump every time he brings obama up or blames him for something? I mean this is a nothing burger... it's like fishing for a reason to criticize obama for anything he does... you know like nausi assuming he went to a non extradition treaty country to escape justice instead of you know vacationing...

You know, for attacking them for the past 8 years. He needs to keep in good graces with his biggest donors. eliroo said: » Shiva.Nikolce said: » Cerberus.Pleebo said: » Being paid for a speech is helping bankers out how exactly?
