Paul Ryan was seen drinking two bottles of $350 wine with Republican Lobbyists (he says Economists) in a swanky New York Bistro frequented by Political Lobbyists. Ryan is best known for his "Kick Granny to Curb - Cutting Medicare Bill." When a female Professor who witnessed these trangressions asked his table about their expensive tastes in wine, one of the economist gorillas shouted, ""F---- her!" And one of them stood up in a menacing way.
The next day, when asked about the events of the previous evening, Ryan admitted his expensive tastes in wine and defensively said he paid for his own dinner and expensive wine. Guiltily, he even showed the reporters his receipt. This is very convenient since it is against the law to accept such expensive gifts (anything over $100) from lobbyists. Obviously he had to hurry up afterwards and pick up his own check.
Amazing. He wants to cut Medicare and Social Security for our Senior Citizens and for them to eat Cat Food. Meanwhile, he has a bill for $472 (with $80 tip). Disgraceful!
WASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives on Thursday voted down a measure that would have reauthorized extended unemployment insurance for another three months, leaving no clear path forward to prevent the benefits from lapsing as scheduled on Nov. 30.
Without a reauthorization, the Labor Department estimates that two million long-term unemployed will prematurely stop receiving benefits before the end of the year.
"I think it's a sad moment," said Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) after the vote. "It appalls me that the Republicans keep pitching and pitching and pitching the tax cuts for the rich and won't join in a bill to help people keep their homes and not have to live in their cars."
TeaParty favorite, newly elected Senator Rand Paul was asked why the tax cuts should be extended to the highest 2% of the rich when the tax cuts were supposed to be temporary. Paul, staring very naively into the camera said: "There are no rich, there are no middle class, there are no poor...We all either work for rich people or we sell stuff to rich people so just punishing rich people is as bad for the economy is as bad as punishing anyone."
Hmmm. Let's see. The last time I heard a statement this naive was from Queen Marie Antoinette. Back in the 1700s, when asked what to do about the starving peasants in the midst of a national famine in her country who could not afford bread, she said: "No Bread? Then let them eat cake!" (As she stared naively into the interviewers presence)
Oh I know the Teaparty Rand Paul supporters will defend him and say we do all work for the Rich and it makes sense for them to continue to pay little to no taxes. Taxing them less means they will hire more people. La la la. What a fairy tale. All this means is they get bigger bonuses and the opportunity to ship more jobs overseas. It's like saying none of us should pay taxes. Let's stop all city, state and federal services. Think of the jobs this will create. The street lights will stop working. More accidents. More need for doctors and nurses and pharmaceuticals and morticians. Think of all the jobs. And, we will ALL EAT CAKE!The Video
