What a load of bs.

The truth is you extremists, Stump, have scared off the moderates in your party with your bullying screeching.

You are ruining the country.

Are you saying those laws were passed during the 72 days the Dems had a filibuster-proof majority?

the Dems did not have the ability to pass legislation for 72 days, we have been through this

but to refresh please read this link, modify your analysis, apologize and change your attitude

What's missing, Sketchy, really missing, I mean, really, really absent from any of your cut & paste baloney is this: You can not point to any reason to elect a Republican. You can't name any policy initiative they currently offer that you support - and provide any correlative evidence that it could work.

Try this, Mr. Wager...throw out your person right now, right now, as in now, that you would like to see as president. While you're at it, throw in 1 or 2 policies that that person supports that make sense to you...give it a go.

Any other righties out there are free to join in....c'mon, the '16 presidential election has practically started. Your gang is jockeying for position - pick a horse and let's start looking at their record.

It was alleged above that the Democrats simultaneously accomplished "the largest middle class tax cuts in history" and the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Not mentioned was that the ACA amounts to the largest middle class tax increase in American history outside of WWII.

Also, the "before and after" chart compares points, not trajectories. The criticism of Obamanomics centers on the weakness of the recovery, not its absence. Simple passage of time would have increased GDP and national employment far more than we experienced, but for the Administration's open hostility to private sector prosperity of its non-cronies.

Doesn't really matter if the admin is R or D. The oil companies, major corporations and billionaires run the country. The Rs just make it a little easier for them.

Over simplistic attitudes like this lead to complacency. Did a little deeper.

Competent macroeconomic analysis demonstrates the truth of the first statement. As for the second, Fact Check agreed that in dollars, it was the largest, and Fact Check did not include the "penalties" for failure to procure insurance as part of the "new taxes." Those "penalties," of course, form the basis of the taxation that the SCOTUS used to justify the constitutionality of the ACA.

Yeah right. I wish I was "middle class" enough for it have raised my taxes.

yes, me too

I believe the additional tax to help fund the ACA is only on adjusted gross incomes over $250,000
and only the specific amount over 250K

but you can look it up, this once I am not going to bother to look it up, just to be in keeping with
most everyone else who makes up their own facts and then repeats them often so they become true

So the tax on "Cadillac" plans, not to mention the "tax" on those without health insurance, not to mention the increased cost of health insurance, doesn't exist. I get it now.

From the above link..."“This is probably the most productive session of Congress since at least the ‘60s,” said Alan Brinkley, a historian at New York’s Columbia University. “It’s all the more impressive given how polarized the Congress has been.”

Sketch wrote: You guys keep producing lists and links for legislation passed during the 111th Congress, but not for the 72 day period.

What is your point??
