This post is in: , , ,

The GOP has released their new “Pledge for America,” and surprising no one, it looks like the prescription for the future is tax cuts, missile defense, gay-bashing and fetus worship, and investigating ACORN the White House.

You know what they say:

Sadly, America no longer listens to the Who. I, for one, look forward to the new regime of tax cuts for Jesus.

    no, not ‘contract’

    Contract is too business sounding–very 1990’s–and the string pullers of the GOP don’t want focus on their big business privilege. So they craft it in much more post 9/11 patriotic terms, a pledge (as in allegiance).

    More like the 1890’s:

    The 1890s were sometimes referred to as the “Mauve Decade,” because William Henry Perkin’s aniline dye allowed the widespread use of that colour in fashion, and also as the “Gay Nineties”, under the then-current usage of the word “gay” which referred simply to merriment and frivolity, with no connotation of homosexuality as in present-day usage. The phrase, “The Gay Nineties,” was not coined until 1926. This decade was also part of the Gilded Age, a phrase coined by Mark Twain, alluding to the seemingly profitable era that was riddled with crime. In America, the 1890s were marked by a severe economic depression sparked by the Panic of 1893, as well as several strikes in the industrial workforce.

    Damn. Just a cursory glance at the text shows what craven, lying assholes the writers of the document are.

    For example, they include a quote from JFK about high tax rates, without noting the marginal tax rate at the time JFK made the comment. And, every example they list of the effect allowing the Bush Tax Cuts to expire involve those making under $250K per year, which isn’t the tax hike the President is seeking.

    And, the same old tired health care reform ideas that won’t work (private health savings accounts; opening the sale of health insurance policies across state lines) are recycled and regurgitated as if they are brand new shiny effective GOP solutions.

    It’s depressing. And it’s going to get a lot of attention, without any of the Village Wankers actually doubting or questioning the claims.

    Using their logic then let’s eliminate all taxes. When it’s time for paychecks in Congress tell them to go ahead and divvy up all that new revenue that no taxes has generated for them.

    I want congressional pay and benefits tied to the median income and benefits that the public enjoys. That’s the only way those fuckers will ever do something for us.

    I read the Pledge.

    It is actually well done. It sounds intelligent, it flows well, it seems to be organized and logical.

    I don’t think what they propose will restore the economy but they would probably try. I don’t think they can shrink the federal government as they certainly didn’t do that during their last time in power. I don’t think they can deliver peace or even a truce between the US and lots of other people.

    And if they actually did keep all their promises in that little document, the centrifugal forces in the USA would increase a lot and the country would fall apart and become several smaller countries. [Is that Balkanization?]

    Missile defense. Against who? China owes us, Russia is more concerned about gas prices, anyone else is an ally. Sure, they are worried about Iran, but that’s more Israel’s anxiety. And where would Iran get the wherewithal for an ICBM? It’s one thing to have anti-ship missles and anti-aircraft, but intercontinental missiles require expertise they don’t necessarily have.

    The people who give a damn about gay marriage and abortion are too old, too repressed, and too ugly to participate in either activity and already Republican.

The best thing I can think of would be if an independent group modeled, in hindsight, what would’ve likely happened with and without the stimulus; in fact, such a report was made by Mark Zandi (one of McCain’s economists) – http://www.economy.com/mark-zandi/documents/End-of-Great-Recession.pdf

    The Pledge isn’t to motivate voters, not at this late date (and not with the Republican Tea Party already quite motivated, thanks). It’s to put a thin, pseudo-intellectual varnish on their brainless movement so that after Nov 2, they can point back to it and say, “See?! This is what real Americans were voting for when we won back the House!”

    I mean, they can’t go in front of the microphones Nov 3 and say, “thank goodness, fear and lies came through again for us!” That’s not much of an agenda for action going forward, no matter how effective it turns out to be.

    But they can point to this Pledge and pretend that there was an actual debate, an actual ‘marketplace of ideas’, and theirs won…

    In a reloading scam, a victim is repeatedly approached by con artists, often until “sucked dry”.

That should help a lot since a human face can be put on the program now. Abstract “it could happen to you” doesn’t sell well in this economy.

    As I was suggesting a few threads over, here’s the problem we have today that didn’t exist in the 50s.

    If you take the richest 400 Americans – not even enough to fill a 747 – they’re sitting on an accumulated wealth of $1.37T. Now, most of that is banked in large cap equities and other such places, but a lot of it is not actively working for the economy – it’s providing equity support for corporations that are already sitting on mountains of cash. Sure, guys like Bill Gates are doing good things with some of that money through his foundation, but really that’s a drop in the bucket and going mostly toward other things.

    If we peeled off even half of that wealth and put it into stimulus efforts, either taxed and dumped into government stimulus efforts – or even better (as those 400 people wouldn’t have to sacrifice nearly so much) invested directly into stimulative projects that would benefit the nation such as creating a funding pool for high speed rail, wind farms, hospitals and clinics and so on. Yeah, some of these won’t be profitable, and maybe they only get back $.50 on the dollar, but that’s better than losing the whole dollar to the feds. No increase to the deficit, no need to saddle the middle class with additional debt by demanding that they go buy shit to prop up demand. The S&P 500 companies are sitting on another $1T in cash. Hell, just Apple, Google, and Intel – all in the same damn county are sitting on over $100B.

    We’re talking about four hundred individuals (about what this site has in commenters in a given day) that have the capacity to employ 26 million Americans at the median annual US salary of $52,000 for one year. That’s what the GOP is protecting. That’s what the Democrats are afraid of dealing with.

    That the GOP seems to have a shot at retaking the House confirms my belief that they have successfully absolved themselves, their practices, and their policies, of any blame for the current state of the nation. They were granted this absolution in part by an infotainment driven media that has reduced the attention span of the average American to the interval between episodes of “Dancing With the Stars.” The rest of their relief came from the fact that no politician from either side (Due to the complicity of both parties) will come out and state the honest truth that America is a nation in decline and extraordinary steps need to be taken to reverse that decline. Both parties are selling the myth that the Good Old Days are right around the corner; we just have to be patient for a bit longer and adhere to whatever their prescription might be.

    @Mnemosyne:

    I try not to judge people by their age, but I laughed out loud when I found out the guy was 21. By the time he was born, Carter had been out of office for almost 10 years. Yeah, he’s a real expert on the Democratic Party.

    Equally amusing are the observations in the comments about how great the Democrats were doing before Obama came along.

    They’d been out of power in Congress for 12 of the previous 14 years, had mucked up the two previous POTUS elections, and in 2004, looked like they were headed for long-term minority party status.

    It took 6 full years of the most toxic incomptence from Bush before they were able to reclaim a legislative majority.

    I just tried reading the Pledge,.. is this some kind of joke? The thing just rambles and is covered in charts. It looks like something someone does at work to pretend they are busy. You have to hunt around to find the actual points which are buried under long explanations. Where’s the short attention span under 30 seconds summery?
