AFL-CIO union boss Richard Trumka says this country doesn’t have a deficit crisis… And any suggestion that we do is the fault of the Republicans and their willing allies in the press.
Seriously, he really said that!
Here, take a look:
(Video)
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind about the veracity, logic, and intelligence of Mr. Trumka’s fiscal analysis of our country:
* The AFL-CIO is one of the single largest contributors to President Obama and the Democratic Party * They reap enormous, direct benefits from the ever-expanding size of the federal government * The AFL-CIO ran itself insolvent in the 2008 presidential election–spending millions more than the union had taken in from dues, and later engaged in “creative accounting” to conceal their financial hardships

The guy doesn’t look very bright, does he......wait until the American people find out that the Democrats have been lying to them for years about how much money is stashed in the SS and Medicare “trust funds”.....The Democrats talked out of both sides of their mouth when Bush was president and the press let them get away with it.....
They complained about the “deficit” on one hand, but on the other insisted that Medicare and SS were flush with cash——thus many people didn’t worry too much about the Bush deficits because the Democrats told them that Medicare and SS were not at risk.....
so now Obama has put ALL at risk.....our presents and our futures......
I want a pony for Christmas.
If he doesn’t have to live in reality, neither should I.
I think that if the press and media are in the business to sell news and information, then product liability laws should apply...and we get to sue the press for “fraud” when they spread lies and disinformation, ie “truth” which is not true......
When liberals tell you that the so-called “trust funds” possesss “treasury bonds” as assets, remind them that bonds are government DEBT......and it’s a wash......and they aren’t even really bonds at all.....
In a twisted sort of way, Trumka is right: as long as there are people, institutions, and national banks that will fund the deficit, it’s not a crisis in the short term. But trees do not grow to the sky. And that’s the twisted sort of Keynesian nonsense that guides our ruling class. But Keynes is dead and the long run has arrived.
Deficit spending can continue, bot only until it can’t go on any more.
If Congress will not cut spending, the US will certainly face a deficit crisis that will force cuts ... and that won’t be pretty.
bttt
stuck on stupid ping
This notorious union thug’s lips are moving.
It is incredible what is passing for truth these days; as this garbage spews forth from lesser minds and zero moral reasoning. Just when you think they cannot go lower; they hit that 'reset' button. . .and find new lows.
If Obama suceeds in his communist takeover Mr. Trumka and other useless idiots will find themselve the first in line to the Gulags. Along with the wealthy useless idiots like Michael Moore, Sean Penn, Olbermann, and the Trial Lawyers. Ya do not need these types in communism.
Criminals know there is always more to steal somewhere.
“Republicans and their willing allies in the press.”
Or the tooth fairy. Maybe Bigfoot!
Where are there allies in the press that aren’t sycophants of the Muslim Communist Dictator?
(with a mafia thug accent) Duh, hey Berry, you do what I tells you to do or somebody gonna get hurt, a, real bad! Yous tell the rest of em up there what I said.
Mr. Trumpka, your days are numbered.
