'Best Moment Ever' or 'Over the Top'? CNBC Anchor Takes Dem. Senator to Task for Fiscal Cliff Debates
A recent interview by CNBC's Maria Bartiromo has been getting traction on both left-leaning and right-leaning sites since it originally aired on Thursday, with some throwing up their hands in applause and others saying she should apologize.
Bartiromo was interviewing Democratic Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland about the "fiscal cliff' debates, and started off the discussion with a question that has been on the minds of many Americans for months (if not years).
"Are you guys incompetent, or what?" she askes the senator, noting that both Republicans and Democrats accuse each other of not having a "balanced approach."
"I mean, if you can't do this, if you can't do what the American people pay you to do, why don't you just step aside and put somebody in there who can actually get a deal done?" she continued in a no-nonsense tone.
After Cardin blames Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner for preventing the process from "moving forward," saying Democrats have been ready, Bartiromo proceeds with little patience and little expectation of a straight answer:
"So how come you're not moving forward? What's the problem? Because the American people are so tired of this, and they are really tired of the lawmakers thinking that the American people are stupid. You can't keep coming on the show every week saying the same thing– 'it's not a balanced approach.'"
Laughing in disbelief and shaking her head as Cardin says his party has been ready for six months to a year to "move forward," Bartiromo sticks her hand toward the screen and interrogates the senator, asking if he would be willing to amend the tax code to obtain the additional revenue the government is demanding.
When Cardin fumbles and replies "no" to all her questions, she summarizes: "You're talking about $1.2 trillion in revenue, but you're not prepared to put anything on the table. People are not stupid!"
But when Cardin repeats the Democrat line of raising taxes on the rich to solve the crisis, Bartiromo got to the crux of the matter and dismissed the sitting senator:
"That's all you want to do. That's it. It's your way or the highway. Raise the rates on the rich. No other way. Your way or the highway. That's it…That's where we are. Thank you, Senator."
Cardin complains that Bartiromo didn't let her answer the questions, and she responds that he's answered them "clearly."
After the interview, the floor erupts in applause for Bartiromo and she laughs, burying her face in her hand.
"Traders on the floor have been watching the show, that's all I'm gonna say," she says with a laugh.

And sadder yet this is the norm on both sides of the isle, and we wonder why nothing changes. -
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 7:31pmWhat else is scary, is that 99.9% of the people and these Financial "experts" are clueless about our Monetary system.
Let me make it simple for all.
The United States Government is a Private Corporation that is Insolvent.
It must Borrow "Money" with INTEREST from the Federal Reserve PRIVATE BANK to pay it's employees and the "Entitled".
Whether it is called TARP, Jobs Stimulus, QE 1, 2, or 3, it is still just another LOAN from the BANK.
We exchange T-Bills (IOUs backed by America's Assets) with the Bank for their NOTES, with INTEREST ATTACHED to those notes.
Since we could not Buy back our T-Bonds, The Bank sold them off to China and others.
Over 5 Trillion Dollars worth of America's T-Bonds have been sold.If these holders make a "run on the bank" we are screwed. We will have to borrow more with interest
and devalue our dollar, hurting us and ******* off the people by devaluing the "money" we just gave them, OR we have to surrender collateral worth 5 Trillion.Thomas Edison Said:
"If the nation can issue a dollar bond, it can also issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good, makes the bill good, also. The difference, between the bond and the bill, is that the bond lets the money-broker collect twice the amount of the bond, and an additional 20%. Whereas the currency, the honest sort, provided by the Constitution, pays nobody, but those, who contribute in some useful way." -
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 7:41pm@angeleyes63
Here is one reason why:
"Let me control a peoples currency and I care not who makes their laws."
– Meyer Nathaniel Rothschild in a speech to a gathering of world bankers February 12, 1912, a requote of his ancestor Mayer Amschel.They don't care about left or right. They just made that game up, to divide, distract and confuse the people.
A whack-a-mole game, if you will.""Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce."
– President James A. Garfield, assassinated 1881~~~~~~~~~~
The INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT is another reason why DemocRAT or RepubliCON makes no difference:
"This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President Wilson signs this bill, the INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT of the monetary power will be legalized….the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill. From now on, depressions will be scientifically created."
– Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr., 1913"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today."
– Theodore Roosevelt -
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 8:10pmWell isn't that cute! This woman is angling for a job at FOX with her Hannity-like interview, not even letting the guy speak. I guess her "interview" technique gets points because she frustrated the Senator.
She's right though. Americans aren't stupid. Boehner's "plan B," which was basically a wish list of everything the Tea Party could hope for – except for that marginal tax rate on the top 0.1% of Americans, the millionaires and billionaires – couldn't pass. Even a bill that had zero possibility of passing in the Senate couldn't even pass in the House, even as a meaningless political gesture. In other words, Republicans couldn't even whip the votes to pass their own legislation.
Though 60% of Americans support raising the marginal tax rate on those making more than $250K, Tea Party members shut down that idea even for those making $1000K, despite getting every thing else they could possibly dream for. "We the People" indeed.
The Republican party is held hostage to the Tea Party and is incapable of trying to govern. Republicans themselves can't even come up with legislation they can pass in the House as "Plan B" shows.
She's right, Americans aren't stupid and they know who is pushing us off the cliff.

You're a moron. You could tax those "Top 2%" at 100% of their income and you'd get enough
revenue to run the fed gov for 8 DAYS. The taxation part of this is nothing but a diversion in order
to distract everyone away from the REAL issue —– SPENDING.We DO NOT have a revenue problem. We have a SPENDING PROBLEM.
We take in $1.5 Trillion in revenues —– We spend $3 Trillion. Its not rocket science.
Those Tea Party members are the ONLY sane voices in the entire government right now.They're not going to pass tax increases because it doesnt SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
Why give DC even more money when they are COMPLETELY irresponsible with what we give them now? -
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 10:24pm"Though 60% of Americans support raising the marginal tax rate on those making more than $250K, "
Im real tired of the polling and statistics bulls**t.
The majority of that 60% were likely Obama voters with neverending welfare, foodstamps & ObamaPhones.Im a fan of Maria's but I disagree with her here. There are ALOT of stupid Americans.
They re-elected a radical communist. They're allowing their Liberty to be stripped away at alarming speed. They're allowing themselves to be fleeced of everything they'll ever hope to have, their children
will hope to have, and even their children after them.And they seem to believe all this taxation crap. Unbelieveable
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 11:14pmI hope people are smart enough to see that they created this cliff so they could go over it. Didn't you think the original agreement was bizarre? They came up with a process and said if we don't agree then this (the cliff) happens. It was obvious they weren't going to agree.
Both sides get to blame the other when the inevitable occurs, and their constituents get to believe that their guy tried. No one is labeled as raising taxes on the middle class, and no one takes the heat for cutting the defense budget.
They are stupid when it comes to running the country, but smart when it comes to keeping their jobs. -
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 11:23pm@METEORHEAD
You have finally witnessed an honest journalist. Maria hit conservatives too. Yet, if Americans were smart, there should be 95% that say to tax some one else, as long as it costs themselves nothing. They have learned a fatal tactic – the majority can vote themselves all kinds of freebies with no concern for the wealthy who pay. But if no one is wealthy, then who pays? Sure, there will always be some who can out wit the system and stay wealthy but in a lot fewer numbers. What is needed is a leader of ALL the people. Not leadership that uses the Alinsky style divide and conquer. Get ready, your standard of living will be going down with every one else's. Quit believing that taxing the rich will do anything to solve the spending problem. Your not Al Sharpton by any chance, are you? -
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 5:36amAnd not one of the posters offered the ultimate solution to the mess we have now!
It's called the FAIR TAX and it takes the decisions for taxes out of the hands of the corrupt political class. Everybody pays 22% sales tax on "new" goods like clothes, cars and homes. No tax is paid if the item is 'used." No personal or corporate income taxes and no inheritance tax.
When you see an absolute incompetant like Senator Cardin parrot the political talking points of his party, don't you think it's time to take these clowns out of the tax code equation? Will we have to have a deep depression in this country to get the FAIR TAX and get rid of the FED?
The absolute absurity of the situation is represented by a man like Charlie Rangle. He was a once powerful US House committee chairman who was responsible for making tax code while he enjoyed not paying taxes on incomes from a rental home he owned in the islands; or, there's John "I served in Viet Nam" Kerry, who bought a yacht a few years back and registered it in another state to avoid paying heavy MA taxes.
Start demanding the FAIR TAX, dissolving the FED and our withdrawal fronm the UN.
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 7:37amSendthemeteors, you truly are part of the problem and not the solution to our woes. We don't run our government on polls. It's bad enough we let the morons elect our president, but we won't let them make the laws too, without a fight. About 47 percent of the voting public did not vote for Obama. That may not be the majority, but it's a huge amount of people. We may not be represented by the president but we are by our congress. The progressives will not run roughshod over this country.
I am nowhere near the two percent of the top income level, but it p*sses me off when people like you demand others pay more in taxes, but if you had to pay more or lost any of your entitlements, you'd be crying big progressive crocodile tears about how unfair the system is towards you. At the end of the day, most of us (not just the two percent) will be paying higher taxes and entitlements will be cut. Get used to the idea. The free ride is just about over.
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 8:22amreply at bodybag,
Someone has been listening to Mark Levin i see. Yes but if your raise taxes at 1.4 trillion and you cut the Pentagon's wasteful spending and yes reform entitlements, and invest in infrastructure. which is the Presidents side of the deal you would cut the deficit and fix our government waste. But Not raising taxes, lowering corporate tax rates on companies that at the end of the year pay 0% effective taxes cause of the subsidies and tax breaks they enjoy. Like GE who got a refund check from the Government and Oil companies, the most profitable industry in human history still get subsidized from the government. So wake up people can't cut 16 trillion in debt by just cutting spending. MORONS
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 8:40amThe American People are SICK & TIRED
of these stupid, ignorant, know best-do nothing political pygmies.NO gumption, NO guts. No glory-
with no solutions of their own,
they sit around playing "Guillotine Politics"
waiting for someone else to stick their head & plan out,
only to cut it off
with nary a sensible contribution or serious effort,
coming out of their own lard azzes.The Tea Party members are the ONLY ones staying true to the American
citizens' stand on fiscal behavior.The Dems can all go to hell, go scratch & fidget with yourselves elsewhere-
OFF the taxpayers' dime.
Boehner, Cantor & the rest of his nincompooing, dopey dwarves
may think they can ignore & admonish the Tea Party Congressional
but be aware-
the American people are taking notes & scouting YOUR replacements !Maria Bartiroma-
YOU rock….
Washington needs a woman like you
to take the wheel, the helm & the country back.
RUN, Maria, RUN !ENOUGH !
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 9:29amReal independant-
You are the moron who doesn't understand a thing about money or business. I am a small 5 man coorporation. I and all of my employees pay income tax on everything we make, just like every other coorporate employee in America. If I am lucky enough to make a profit the government will take part of that also. So any coorporate owner with any sense would take that profit and re-invest it back into the company rather that pay it to a corrupt, irresponsible self serving government. And guess what? If I purchase new equipment for my company in lieu of coorporate tax, then the people who built that equipment get to keep their jobs and pay income taxes.
This is how economics works.
Instead of despising people who work hard and invest in their companies to protect their interest and the interest of their employees, you should applaud them. This is what made America great and people like you want to destroy it in favor of bitterness and class warfare instead of going and getting it for yourself. -
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 9:42amIf you don't have an ivy league degree, you are nothing. I guess what they teach at the ivy league schools is to lie, to lie and then lie some more. The uninformed are the stupid ones. You get what you pay for as they say.
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 10:29amWhat I don't understand is why the discussion is only about who to raise taxes on, and not a word about CUTTING SPENDING.
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 10:46amIt's the politicians and the media who are stupid. 1.2 trillion doors. Really. The yearly budget deficit is 1.2 trillion and the are talking about taxes over 10 years. No one in the media elite are telling the American people the full story. They are all pathetic
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 11:44amhey sendthemeteors…if 60% of Americans support tax hikes of wages 250k and above………..then wy did we allow the house to stay as it was…you know? The house that America knew whasnt going to raise taxes on the 250k threshhold. Typical progressive garbage, say something with a straight face in spite of the glaring facts at hand. let me guess, you are one of those people who argue the founding fathers didnt believe in God…right?
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 12:37pmIs CNBC FINALLY seeing Obama and his Democratic liberals for what they really are (impediments to positive progress for America)?
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 12:55pm@Read – you need to get real. The tax increases they are talking about are over TEN YEARS…
In fact, they will make the problem worse, by taking money out of the hands of JOB CREATORS.
But that's ok, after obama/baynor/reid are done collapsing the economy, and millions are hungry and rioting, I'm sure a little martial law will fix everything. You will be clamoring for it soon… yes, that is right, YOU WILL BE ASKING FOR TYRANNY!
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 1:20pmintelligence in congress…IS reid an example??
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 1:45pmAs has been said we don't have a revenue problem we have a spending problem. The federal government plans for an increase in spending each hear – these so called cuts are not cuts at all they are reductions in the amount of increase. We need actual CUTS. Start with the 1 penny plan – 1% cut across the board EVERYTHING EVERYBODY 1% CUT A REAL CUT NOT REDUCTION IN RATE OF INCREASE YOU MORONS! STOP SPENDING 3 TIMES WHAT YOU TAKE IN – AAARRRGGG! Our government is a bunch of idiots and liars and cheats and we voted them in. I guess we are going to get what we deserve. Say good night America!
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 2:12pmAt 2:17 in the video, CNBC quotes Sen. Cardin as saying "Social Security has not added to the deficit."
This talking point has been repeated by many Democrats lately, and is a complete lie. Social Security's outflows have exceeded its inflows by $100-150 billion per year since summer of 2010. So any claims that Social Security is not contributing to the deficit are either ignorant or dishonest.
On page 10 of the 2012 Trustees Report for Social Security, it says: "In 2011, Social Security's cost continued to exceed both the program's tax income and its non-interest income, a trend that the Trustees project to continue throughout the short-range period and beyond. The 2011 deficit of tax income relative to cost was $148 billion, and the projected 2012 deficit is $165 billion."
Where is the MainStreamMedia on these repeated falsehoods? Covering up the truth as usual? (of course they are)
At least Maria slammed Cardin for his dishonest talking point about Dems wanting a "balanced" approach without any real spending cuts. She should have corrected his Social Security lie, too — before CNBC put it up on the screen.
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 2:30pmI like that he what he said they had such a great offer to increase taxes but did not know if they were going anything about taking away those perks from themselves. We may start to believe them when they have the same retirement and medical programs as everyone else. If they think socialism is so great then prove it by going to that program for themselves. Their actions speak so loud we cannot hear what they are saying.
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 3:23pmSENDTHEMETEORS, have you seen Chris Mathews interview a conservative? And you dont like Maria's style?
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 5:16pmPeople say we don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem and even if we tax the top 2% at 100% it only run the government for a week or so. But nobody will come and say that if we won't raise taxes and we won't borrow more money what we have to do: get rid of Social Security,Medicare, and Medicaid and slash the defense budget severely. If we don't eliminate these programs, we HAVE to keep borrowing what we don't take in as taxes. Everybody cool with no more Medicare or Social Security?
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 6:36pm@SendTheMeteors – i think this is the first really smart thing bartiromo has said in the many years i watched cnbc. as for the republicans not being able to pass their bill….seems similar to obozo's budgets that garnered not one vote two years in a row. you've been standing too close to the meteors or maybe just drinking koolaid.
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 7:20pmMy "Law Professor" explains that our Government was a Trust before it became a Corporation.
The People Created that trust for the benefit of the people.
That means that the People are the Grantors/Administrators and Beneficiaries.
That means that ALL Government Employees are TRUSTEES, From the Lowest position all the way to the President and even the Supreme Court Justice.
Trustees take orders from the Grantor/Administrator.
Trustees can never administrate authority or take anything from the Beneficiaires.
The TRUSTEES are the Grantor's and Beneficiaries Servant. (I.E. Indentured Public Servant)
No one has Authority over you, unless you break the Law, then and only then, you can be detained by a law enforcement officer.
Government = A Trust
The People = Boss (Grantor)
The President and every government employee below him = Servant (trustee)
The People = Bosses' Family (beneficiary)
When they began managing America from the De-Facto Government in 1871, that changed everything. They Trademarked the Name 'United States Government' and made a Corporation under that name. They have been operating as a Corp ever since.
We are Still the Creators of the Corp. which makes us Grantors/Executors.
We are still beneficiaries of the Corp. and "Stockholders".
ANY Public Servant is still a TRUSTEE and /or "employee" of the Corp.Check this out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYLe02uld_0 -
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 7:32pm*Trustees can never administrate authority over a beneficiary, or take anything from the Beneficiaires.
(A trustee is the manager of the trust, but still subserviant to both the Grantor and Beneficiary,
which is THE PEOPLE !!!!) -
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 10:09pmMETEORS:
I sense you have no real clue concerning that which you speak. The economy needs @160k jobs a month to keep up with population growth. The economy needs at least 2.5% gdp growth to start making any dent in the debt. Your president and the progressive / democrat party have no answers to either of those challenges. I'm okay with going over the cliff and hope to watch folks like you suffer immeasurably. -

Posted on December 23, 2012 at 10:36pmThe Senate and House passed a bill which President Obama signed into law..it takes effect 1-1-2013 unless a bill is passed to amend/stop the other law. The tax rates will return to what they were 12 years ago and mandate spending cuts. ..OK…PLEASE drive over the cliff…PLEASE…otherwise you will burden me, ,my children and grandchildren with trillions more in debt..all those in Washington DC knew they could never agree on real reform but also knew we could not continue on our current path and were able to pass the "Fiscal Cliff" legislation…it's the ultimate "..not my fault" law…even though they all voted and signed it to BE law…they will all blame the other side for it becoming the LAW they all passed….so sad…but let it happen, let's cut spending and pay a bit more…I don't need a leader but I don't need people who can govern…try again in 2 years…
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 11:59pmThe sad truth is that this has nothing to do with intelligence. The Democrats have no intention of cutting anything and would gladly spend any additional revenue that might be raised. They are of course unwilling to admit that,and so they come off with the foolish sounding nonsense that the Senator used.
The really sad part is that the Republicans are really terrible at explaining that to the american people, and it makes you wonder why. -

Posted on December 24, 2012 at 8:26amWe have about 1 year maybe less to prepare for a total economic collapse. The dollar is the reserve currency of the world, why do you think we invaded Iraq? Because Saddam was about to start purchasing oil with their own currency. This is all about the dollar bill. It will be worth absolutely nothing come next year.. Start storing food, investing in gold and silver, owning and operating a gun, self defense, basic survival instinct skills, growing your own food and most importantly prayer and community. There is no political solution to our problems. However, God wins, but not without tribulation.. There's no more time to waste. Many financial advisors and economists warn us to prepare for next year. I'm more than certain readers of the blaze are aware of this. But it's important to spread this to others as well because as the chaos increases the select few that are able to keep their balance and focus during these dark times are going to determine how much chaos will be experienced.
Posted on December 24, 2012 at 10:10amdon't mind "sendthemeteors" – it is apparent that he thrives on generic liberal ideologies and tries to apply them to every story possible, justifying idiocies at any expense – even at the sacrifice of his own dignity. He is truly a paid troll. I have learned to skip over his ignorant posts. I think if the truth slapped him in the face, he'd still cry foul.
Posted on December 24, 2012 at 11:06amWhy not just have the house pass legislation that says that the previous legislation deadline for change has been moved to Jan 2014 rather than Jan 2013 and leave it at that?

If only America would speak like Maria did, this country would come back together and wipe out the idiots in Washington. Good job Maria! Love you! Wow, did I get emotional or what!
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 10:12amOh, yes. Maria has REAL courage perpetuating the LIE that the mortgage and charity deductions are LOOPHOLES, thereby subtly casting aspersions and futhering the MARXIST adjenda of class warfare. She said the American people are not stupid, yet a large percentage of the commenters on this page alone completely missed her own Marxist adjenda. For those ignorant, the mortage and charitable deductions are a legal part of the tax code that helps to encourage home ownership and charitable giving. TWO things that are very good for our society. If you eliminate those without completely overhauling the tax code with a fair tax and eliminating the IRS, we will continue down the spiral of debasing our whole society as the Marxist adjenda requires. THINK people!
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 11:34amShe should have pointed out that: 1) the Democrat Senate (Reid) has yet to put forward a budget and 2) If they (Senate, House and President) really are responsible, why are they advocating spending more money (Trillions) than they take in??? This has to stop…

Posted on December 22, 2012 at 6:39pmSo good to hear real questions being asked. The news ignorant media isn't asking the questions that need to be asked and than they allow the people who they are interviewing to spin and spin and spin. And than they go on as if asking questions are their job, it does not matter whether the answer was spin or creditable or truth. So What Is That?

Posted on December 22, 2012 at 7:43pmDid you hear what he said? "the easiest thing to do is to raise taxes on the rich." We don't elect you as a representative to do the easy thing but to make hard decisions that are in the best interest of the people of America. That's what true leaders do.
Raise taxes on the rich and you'll have enough "revenue" top run the fed. government for 8 days, then what?
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 6:13pmShe was great! She speaks for the American public. (Don't you even think of apologizing, Maria.) Dems are PLAYING with Boehner and Americans–and laughing behind our backs as they do it. If Boehner caves on increased taxes for the wealthy, Obama will want something else that's obnoxious, like giving him a blank check on the debt ceiling. There's no end to what Obama wants and virtually nothing he's prepared to give. The Democrats are willing to let him become a dictator. Bravo, Ms. Bartiromo!

Posted on December 22, 2012 at 6:24pmIf they increase the debt ceiling, then we know they are not serious about fixing any fiscal problem. You want to control spending then, definitely don't raise they debt ceiling.
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 7:48pmlets be real, the repubs came up with ways of raising revenue requested w/o raising taxes but Pres. Obama said he WANTS RATES RAISED. its not about balancing the budget but about using the debt to justify their globalist redistributive aganda.
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 6:08pmTHIS IS WHY – THE GOP must not fold…hold the LINE ! You are going to get the blame no matter what you do. so at least HAVE A SPINE and KEEP SAYING "It's the SPENDING Stupid"
Washington DC is DRUNK on Borrowed Money and Saudi Oil. DC Spends like Drunken, Addicted Freaks…..Like addicts they will steal from us to keep their addiction going. STOP ! Enough ! Cold Turkey you Immoral Freaks. They are Insane in their Drunkeness.
One Trillion Seconds spent = 31,688.7 years ! That's just ONE TRILLION…..
We are so far gone NOW that there is NO WAY TO PAY ANY OF IT BACK. DC Treasury and Fed know this and EVERYONE in Senate and Congress Knows this. IF they took everything we ALL own

the US cannot pay it back ever.-
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 6:21pmThe GOP is part of the problem, just as the demon-craps. The American people are stupid, because they keep voting these imbecilic, self serving leaders back into office even after they demonstrate no ability to correct our fiscal issues, while continuing to spend on special pork projects to promote their own welfare and personal future. In my apinion the actions of the house, the Senate and the President is treason to the U.S. as they are promoting the fall of our once great country. But, at least Maria is not afraid to hold them accountable. Please, media members, keep the heat on all of them, or before to long you won't be able to report anything, except what is officially sanctioned by our communist government.
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 2:31pmI actually disagree on folding. I think the right strategy is to completely fold, give the Democrats 100% of what they want. We need to crash. There are too many criminals benefiting from our current corrupt system. The only way to break them loose is to collapse the economy and reset it.
Otherwise the federal government, which is the largest criminal conspiracy in world history, will continue to manipulate us all via tax code (choosing winners and losers), law, and code.
Only with a depression do we have the chance to chase out the rats and find some sensible people to run government. We all know how stupid these fools sound. They seem to think that they are still fooling us. And to an extent they have. We now have low voter turnout, a minority of people electing these con-men and women, and a majority that do not understand our economic system, currency (manipulation) nor does anyone understand our tax code. All of this is on purpose. Break it down, rebuilt it, resetting states rights and reducing the federal government to a minimum of services and power.
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 6:04pmI'm afraid it will take more of this kind of treatment to get these guys off the dime. Well done, Maria. You did a good job of expressing America's frustration for Congress's inability to get it done. I hope others like you will step up and nail their little feet to the floor.

Posted on December 22, 2012 at 7:15pmThe_Jerk, It appears that you're likely a low-paid worker, that reflects your hopelessness here, which you blame on others in this world, whom you feel are holding you back from any success. There are plenty of public programs, originated by our federal and state legislators, that will allow you to get your G.E.D. for little to no cost. Then, perhaps, you'll have a better outlook on life and not blame others for your misery.
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 5:41pmCome on Patriots slap on our tri- cornered hats and band together to hold the nation hostage until the Dems. cave on tax breaks for the rich! After ten years of achieving more wealth then at any time in our countries history they deserve at least ten more years of tax breaks. So what if 98% of the country will pay $2500 more. The millionaires and billionaires need those tax breaks. Thank God for the Tea Party and their admiration for the elites of our country don't give in. Keep our country hostage so that the 2% get what they want. God Guns and Gold!

Leftists need to make up their tiny little minds. Are tea party people a bunch of uneducated trailer park rednecks or are we a bunch of elitist millionaires? You don't find a lot of millionaires living in trailer parks. -
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 6:23pmRick— I'm not waving. I'm saluting the Tea Party! True Patriots that love our country so much they are willing to take it over the cliff to prove a point. What's not to love there? We need a revolution and the Tea Party has to lead. They make great politicians and are willing to teach 98% of the country a huge lesson. God Guns and Gold!
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 6:44pm@Skimmer
Even if the democrats got what they wanted on taxing the rich it would only raise enough money to cover eight or so days of government spending. Then you would have the (intended) consequences of added unemployment, stalled capital investment, a reduction in tax collection, and an increase on entitlement spending.
When you spend too much, it's time to start cutting back on things you don't need. It's called prioritation and you don't seem to have a clue about how to do this.
As written, "thou shall not covet", and I will not begrudge anyone who earns their money honestly for providing a service or product that others want or need. Just remember that the money in the pocket of the wealthy is only a fraction of the money the company earned to pay wages, retirement, pensions, healthcare, for millions across the country.
Give me my tri-cornered hat anyday to battle the likes of you, the entitlement class. You truly are brainwashed and jealous.
I hope the three ghosts of Christmas come to visit you soon. Merry Christmas.
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 6:56pmRPA– I agree! I mean the top 2% are the job creators! If we leave the taxes in place they will pull us out of this mess! It's been working just great for the past 12 years! We Patriots band together God Guns and Gold and maybe one pair of Beck's $129.99 pairs of blue jeans!
Posted on December 22, 2012 at 7:05pmRP– Maybe if Obama would have mentioned raising taxes on the top 2% when he was running for President and if he had won 330 electoral votes it wouldn't come as such a surprise! Gosh he's sneaky. Thank the good Lord for you Tea Party people and the lesson 98% of the country is going to get! Very admirable! God Guns and Gold!
Posted on December 23, 2012 at 12:11pmThis comment is the perfect example of how Obama is succeeding. He's making this a divide and conquer issue.. Against all facts, as to what rainging taxes on the rich as Obama proposes, will not in any way fix the problem Obama has made that theissue.. It's a non fix, BUT it does pit the millions and millions of entitled to se the wealthy as their enemy and Obama as the whiute hat that's going to protect them from the rich ..
Shades of the Russian revolution, careful what you wish for.

Posted on December 22, 2012 at 5:32pmDemocrats are fixed on raising the tax on the rich and then spending what they get. They will never cut spending until their base wise up and grow some balls to tell them STFU and do as we tell you. As she said with the Dems it is their way or the highway.
I want specifics. Give me specifics what is it about the Republicans plan you are against. Tell me what your plan is and why it is better than the Republican plan. They NEVER TALK SPECIFICS and I am sick and tired of the games they play with the AMERICAN PEOPLE. It is time to redress the government with our grievances. We can do this, it is in the Constitution. Maybe it is time we fill recall notices against those that play these games. Can we withhold their salary until an agreement is made?

The mission of Freeborn County Court Services is to provide the Freeborn County District Court and the citizens of Freeborn County with services designed to ensure public safety. By providing these services, we will actively reduce the incidence of crime, provide restoration to all victims and provide effective and accountable offenders supervision while minimizing the impact of crime on the citizens of Freeborn County.
The mission statement reflects the belief:
The County Probation's Department provides the Freeborn County District Court with a variety of services under the authority of Minnesota Statute 244.19.
MS 244.19 Subd. 3. Powers and duties. All county probation officers serving a district court shall act under the orders of the court in reference to any person committed to their care by the court, and in the performance of their duties shall have the general powers of a peace officer; and it shall be their duty to make such investigations with regard to any person as may be required by the court before, during, or after the trial or hearing, and to furnish to the court such information and assistance as may be required; to take charge of any person before, during or after trial or hearing when so directed by the court, and to keep such records and to make such reports to the court as the court may order.
Services include, but are not limited to, providing probation supervision to juvenile, adult misdemeanor, and selected adult gross misdemeanor offenders, pretrial supervision for all levels of offenders, coordinating the placement of offenders in appropriate community and residential programs, and providing the Court with necessary reports such as pre-dispositional reports, probation violation reports, reference reports, review and discharge reports, chemical use assessments, domestic abuse investigations, In addition, we aid in the collection of restitution, provide local community service work, attend staffings at schools and residential programs, provide electronic monitoring of selected cases, and ensure that selected offenders receive random drug and alcohol testing.
Probation Officers appointed within Freeborn County cooperate with all law enforcement agencies, schools, child welfare agencies of a public or private character, and other groups concerned with the prevention of crime and delinquency and the rehabilitation of persons convicted of crime and delinquency.
When providing these services, this department strives to maintain a balance of providing public safety, community restoration and restitution, and encouraging the offender to self improvement. All of these and other services are provided under the direction of the Freeborn County District Court and within Minnesota statutes.

Broken Group Islands, Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (JF Bergeron photo)
British Columbia has more than 1,100 different wildlife species and some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world.
Spotting wildlife in BC can take place at unexpected times and places. Hiking, boating and even driving BC's highways present opportunities for wildlife viewing. Bighorn sheep, moose, mountain goats, bears, whales, and sea lions are a few of the wildlife species that can be seen here.
For the best experience, consider a professionally guided wildlife tour. Trained guides and naturalists take visitors into natural environments safely, informatively and in comfort.

Kootenay Rockies: Bears, elk, bighorn sheep, cougars and wolves roam national and provincial parks set in the dramatic scenery of the Rocky Mountains.
Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: Wildlife-rich region that ranges from whales, grizzly bears, and rare white Kermode bears on the coast to bighorn sheep, moose and beaver in interior provincial parks such as Bowron Lakes.
Thompson Okanagan: Enormous salmon runs, Canada's only desert climate and viewing opportunities in Wells Gray and Mount Robson provincial parks.
Vancouver Island: Stunning coastlines populated with whales, dolphins, seals, sea lions and other marine animals, in addition to colourful tidal pools and inland parks with bears, deer and more.
Vancouver, Coast & Mountains: Whale watching from coastal towns, bald eagle viewing in Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park and abundant wildlife in parks such as Garibaldi and Manning.
Northern British Columbia: Enormous terrain including Canada's only grizzly bear sanctuary, the unique wildlife of Haida Gwaii and a wildlife area known as the "Serengeti of the North."
Vancouver: Large urban parks home to birds and small mammals, shoreline wildlife and more than 70,000 aquatic creatures in the Vancouver Aquarium.
Victoria: Ocean animals and seabirds on picturesque coastlines, salmon runs and bald eagles, and vibrant islands accessible only by boat.
Whistler: Spot bears and deer from chairlifts, meet pikas and whiskey jacks on mountain tops or take a canoe tour to see beaver, otter and birds.
Go cruising to experience the rugged BC coast – take a bear-watching tour to spot rare Kermode (Spirit) bears that wander the coastal forests, or look for black and grizzly bears in almost every region.
Marine wildlife is abundant in BC. There are thousands of kilometres of coastline teeming with seals, sea lions, porpoises, fish and marine birds. Whale-watching tours look for Orcas year round, and BC's coast lies in the migratory path of more than 20,000 grey whales.
Hiking is a great self-guided way to see wildlife in the mountains. Inland, the parks, grasslands and forests are alive with moose, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep. Canoe the countless lakes, rivers and wetlands that make for prime bird watching habitat.
A driving tour is a great way to view the wildlife and landscape; in BC, even the highways are prime wildlife viewing areas.
Animals are most active around dawn and dusk and many species of wildlife are seasonal. Visitor centres can provide information on local wildlife, habitat and behaviour and can also help book tours.
Check out nature and wildlife viewing trip ideas for some suggestions on where to see bald eagles, bears, tidal pools and more.

Mike's driving like a maniac and calling Susan. They're singing, "There was an old woman who swallowed a fly," and laughing. Mike asks where Susan is, and she says they're in the car singing. He tells her not to react to what he's about to say. She says this sounds really... but he interrupts and says, "Susan! Do you understand me?" She agrees, and he says that Dave's real name is David Dash, the husband of Lila. Susan says, "Oh my god," but Mike reminds her not to react. Creepy Dave asks if there's a problem, so Susan says it sucks that they canceled Mike's flight. Mike tells Susan they're in danger and to get away from him at a gas station or store, any place there's people. Mike's on his way, so Susan asks how long he will be delayed. He's about a half-hour from the lake, and is calling the cops. He tells her to get away and call as soon as she does. She says okay, and that she hopes he gets there soon. She hangs up, and Creepy Dave says it's a drag that they bumped Mike's flight. Then he starts another round of the song and when they get to "Perhaps she'll die," it's totally ominous. Hopefully, Susan and MJ don't swallow any flies.
After commercial, Susan asks if they can stop and stretch their legs. Creepy Dave would like to just keep going. She asks if he's hungry, though, and could they stop and eat. He says he really doesn't want to stop, so she says okay; it was no big deal. She sneaks a juice box out of her purse and hands it to MJ.
Lynette arrives home, where Tom's laying out all of his new college gear, all excited. He got pens, notebooks, an English-to-Mandarin dictionary. He also got scented highlighters. She just glares at him, and then says she went to the doctor today. He asks what's wrong, and she says she's pregnant. He's all, "With a baby?!" She asks how long he's been sniffing his markers. He says, "But you can't. We can't. We're old." She says they're apparently not old enough. He wonders about school, and she wonders about her job. They sit and stare ahead. He says, "We're going to have another baby." She says there's actually an addendum: They're having twins. Again. Wow, someone should have had a vasectomy.
Susan's plan is working in the car, as MJ has to go potty. Susan asks if they can pull over at the next rest stop. Creepy Dave asks if MJ can hold it, but he can't. Susan asks MJ to hold on, and Creepy Dave swerves onto the side of the road. Susan says he can't go here, but Creepy Dave says he's a big boy and can use the bushes. MJ and Susan head off to pee, and Creepy Dave's phone rings. It's the police detective, who tells him they know everything. He says that if Creepy Dave comes in now, he'll do everything he can to help him, but let's end this before someone gets hurt. Too late, though, since Susan bangs Creepy Dave over the head with a rock and knocks him out. She tries to start the car, but the keys aren't there. She reaches for Creepy Dave's pocket, but he grabs her hand. She tells MJ to run, and says they're playing a game with Dave. They run, but Susan trips over a knotty piece of wood. MJ asks if she's okay, but she really doesn't seem to be. Creepy Dave is yelling for them, so Susan tells MJ how important it is to win this game. She tells him to find a good hiding place and not to come out even if he hears Dave. He takes off.

"Yummmmmmm......with a capital Y! Both my husband and I loved it! I didn't have quite enough ketchup for the sauce so I substituted chili sauce for the remaining amount. It added a delightful bit of sweetness, though I'm sure the original sauce was quite tasty. The meat literally fell off the bones and the sauce was heavy enough to coat the egg..."

"Not enough "m's" in yummy to describe this!! Made it for a neighborhood potluck and it was a major hit! The addition of tomato paste gave the sauce a perfect consistency; I tossed in a small can of diced green chilies as well. MOST EXCELLENT!!"

Iraq: Women's rights in danger
By Dahr Jamail and Abdu Rahman
Iraqi women demonstrators protest lack of security and basic services
Prior to the US-led invasion of Iraq, women working in the public and
government sectors were entitled to receive a year's maternity leave
under family laws enforced by the former Saddam Hussein leadership.
In the seven years since the US-led invasion which ousted Saddam,
however, maternity leave has been cut to six months.
Since the Personal Status Law was enacted on July 14, 1958, when
Iraqis overthrew the British-installed monarchy, Iraqi women have
enjoyed many of the rights that Western women do.
But the statutes governing the status of women since 1958 have been
replaced with Article 2 of the new Iraqi Constitution, which states
that "Islam is the official religion of the state and is a basic
source of legislation."
Sub-head A says "No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed
rules of Islam." Under this Article the interpretation of women's
rights is left to religious leaders.
Islamic governance
Yanar Mohammed, a women's rights campaigner in Iraq, believes that the
US has "let go of women's rights" in the war-ravaged country.
"Political Islamic groups have taken southern Iraq, are fully in power
there, and are using the financial support of Iran to recruit troops
and allies," she says.
"The financial and political support from Iran is why the Iraqis in
the south accept this, not because the Iraqi people want Islamic law."
According to the post-2003 Iraqi constitution, parliament should be
comprised of no less than 25 per cent female candidates. As a result,
the amended electoral law of December 2009 stipulated that parliament
should comprise 82 female representatives.
Each party and coalition list must ensure that 25 per cent of its
nominated candidates are women. However, the women's quota has not
been filled since 2005 and as a result, the elections commission said
"special measures" must be implemented to ensure the quota is met.
Women's rights groups in Iraq and abroad have complained that the
Iraqi parliament has not provided information on what the measures
involve or how it would go about implementing them.
According to Maha Sabria, a professor of political science at Al-
Nahrain University in Baghdad, women members of parliament "stand up
to defend their party in the parliament, not for women's rights".
Lack of infrastructure
Sabria also makes a direct link between the deteriorated status of
women in the country to the lack of infrastructure, political and
economic stability, and security. She believes that women bear a
"double burden" as they have lost many of their freedoms due to, and
under, the US occupation.
"The violation of women's rights [is] part of the violation of the
rights of all Iraqis," she says.
"More men are now under the weight of detention, so now women bear the
entire burden of the family and are obliged to provide full support to
the families and children. At the same time, women do not have freedom
of movement because of the deteriorated security conditions and
because of abductions of women and children by criminal gangs."
Women, she says, are also now under pressure to marry at a younger age
in the hope that a husband (including his family and tribal
affiliations) will bring added security.
Sabria says that the abduction of women "did not exist prior to the
occupation. We find that women lost their right to learn and their
right to a free and normal life, so Iraqi women are struggling with
oppression and denial of all their rights, more than ever before."
"Tribal, backward laws"
The Constitution mandates that 25 per cent of seats in Parliament be
allocated to women
Since 2003, many Iraqis sought refuge in the tried and tested security
offered by tribal affiliations and allegiances.
As contemporary Iraqi society fell apart in the face of lawlessness,
abductions, revenge killings and overall lack of security, the tribal
system offered both refuge and order.
Some Iraqis believe that the decline in the modern and secular
standard of living since 2003 propelled the social dynamic back by
several decades.
"The real ruler in Iraq now is the rule of old traditions and tribal,
backward laws," Sabria says.
"The biggest problem is that more women in Iraq are unaware of their
rights because of the backwardness and ignorance prevailing in Iraqi
society today."
Fleeing Iraq
Compounding the severity of the situation is the fact that many women
also fled their homes because their husbands were arbitrarily arrested
by occupation forces or government security personnel. A household
without a male figure became far more vulnerable since 2003. Women
sought refuge with relatives and failing to do so fled to Syria or
According to United Nations estimates, more than four million Iraqis
have been displaced in the past seven years, including approximately
2.8 million registered as internally displaced persons.
Many live as refugees mainly in neighbouring countries, according to a
report by Elizabeth Ferris, co-director of the Brookings Institution-
University of Bern Project on Internal Displacement.
The report, titled, Going Home? Prospects and Pitfalls For Large-Scale
Return Of Iraqis, says most displaced Iraqi women are reluctant to
return home because of continuing uncertainties.
Obstacles to repatriation
For its part, the Washington-based Refugees International (RI) says in
another report - Iraqi Refugees: Women's Rights and Security Critical
to Return - that "Iraqi women will resist returning home, even if
conditions improve in Iraq, if there is no focus on securing their
rights as women and assuring their personal security and their
families' well-being".
The RI report covered internally displaced women in Iraq's semi-
autonomous northern Kurdish region and female refugees in Syria. "Not
one woman interviewed by RI indicated her intention to return," the
report says.
"This tent is more comfortable than a palace in Baghdad; my family is
safe here," a displaced woman in northern Iraq told RI.
The situation continues to be challenging for women within Iraq. Yanar
Mohammed believes the constitution neither protects women nor ensures
their basic rights. She blames the US for abdicating its
responsibility to help develop a pluralistic democracy in Iraq.
"I am an employee, and everyday go to my work place, and the biggest
challenge for me and all the suffering Iraqis is the roads are closed
and you feel you are a person without rights, without respect," a 35-
year-old government employee, who asked to be referred to as Iman,
"To what extent has this improved my security," she asked. "We have
better salaries now, but how can women live with no security? How can
we enjoy our rights if there is no safe place to go, for rest and
recreation and living?"

Twitter feuds, however, aren't new to social media active politicians, especially Swamy, whose profile describes him as one who gives as good as he gets.
