As to McCain, he did not support the bailouts. I was correct. We were discussing a purchase he voted for, not a bailout. In that thread (not just the posts that were pulled), I make clear the difference between a bailout and a purchase. FYI, I'm against both, but McCain said he did not support the bailouts and in his actions he only voted in favor of a purchase.

Yes, I was incorrect. I thought one needed 61 votes to break a filibuster.

Thank you! And see, it didn't kill ya.

Now if we can just get Jamieson to admit he was wrong when he said the Federal Reserve is a private corporation. Of course I'm not holding my breath on that one.

come on, hold your breath! Just for a little while, like, a week should do. Maybe someone could help you. lol

The federal reserve is controlled by private banks. there omg!!! I've said it again!

Let me say it one more time. The Federal Reserve of the United States of America is controlled by private banks.

Should I say it again? Because it is. I mean you can cite all sorts of rot and cover your ears and make grandiose statements about the treasury and so on and so forth. Go ahead.

but once again, The federal reserve of the USA is controlled by private banks which make up it's board of directors.
DIRECTORS!

why would a private bank be directing the federal reserve?
why would this be denied this fact that can be found almost anywhere?

Ah, but (as noted in the posts to which I linked) Senator McCain referred to them as bailouts and supported them. Hence, he supported the bailouts (his words, not mine).

poverty can teach americans a thing or two about humility and humanity.


fear of being poor is a sign of an insecure nation.

Shows what you know! We've always had lots of poverty! Our humility totally kicks the ass of your humility.

They went over a year without passing a budget and having it signed by the President. Which is against the law. Can we agree on this?

The President is required to present a budget, which he did. He can't force the Congress to vote on it. The Congress then puts together a budget resolution, which does not require a Presidential signature (though it must pass both chambers). Appropriation bills actually spend the budgeted money. Those require a Presidential signature. However, they are initiated in Congress, not by the President.

So, in the budget process, President Obama did everything he was required to do.
