Politics Counts
Does Obama not remember that he initially asked for a "clean" vote on raising the debt ceiling? Now that it might get dropped in his lap, he argues something else. Let's hope the media reminds everyone of this flip. But what do we expect from a man used to voting "present".
Obama already has public opinion on his side.
I am with Bob on this. Obama doesn't want to vote on an increase either.
I like Rep. Ryan's ideas about the budget. There is excellent commentary on this and Catholic social teaching at http://www.catholicurrent.com/#/.
For God's sake, we are supposed to have elected some real competent and responsible people to represent us and work for us. Unfortunately, these politicians are more interested in scoring points against each other. ...while some real americans are unemployed and suffering out there. More to come if we do not avoid a debt default....
What a hypocrite, that Obama is. He says the the debt is a major issue but HE is the one that has been proposing the massive spending. If the American public, like "Misleading title" claims, is on his side then America deserves to default and become insolvent.
However, "Misleading" is mislead. I do not think the American public is on his side. I do believe that the American media is on his side, so I do not see too many pointing out the facts of his double-speak and the actions of himself that he projects onto others.
He has played this well and totally outmaneuvered the Republicans. Now he's become the proponent of a "big deal", knowing it can't get done. Even though neither he nor the Senate have proposed a budget, he'll point to the R's as the party that stood in the way of meaningful reform. (I can hear it now after the limit has been increased: "I wanted to cut further, but the Republicans chose special interests over the American people.") Our best bet now is to get behind the McConnell proposal under which everything between now and 2010 falls on the desk of BHO.
Mr. President, yes, we are paying attention to whom is serious and to whom is not. Your budget went down 97-0. You, sir, did not present a responsible document. Cong. Paul Ryan did and then you sandbagged him publicly. You have no class, Mr. President, and will be a one termer. Good riddance to an empty suit.
"Cong. Paul Ryan did and then you sandbagged him publicly."
It was Obama's fault that Ryan's budget is awful?
Obama has a tin ear when it comes to what the public wants. He is too focused on reading his own press clippings.
The public wants government to tighten its belt and reduce spending, NOT raise taxes. I guess from Obama's perspective the shellacking the Democrats took at the polls in 2010 meant "Raise taxes! Keep spending!" However, from the perspective of the people who actually CAST the votes that kicked so many Democrats out of office, the message was (and remains) "Reduce spending and the size of government. Get out of the way so we can create jobs and improve the quality of life for our families!"
Well if we really wanted to know whether the Republicans had really allowed the crazies take over their party, I believe this whole debt crisis is prove enough. During Clinton this would have been a done deal with Newt smiling the whole time because he got more spending cuts than the Dems cut taxes. Not so anymore. So instead of rejoicing about getting the deficit down (isn't that why we elected the Republicans?) with mainly spending cuts, we are about to screw over the US economy. Yeah I wonder what the housing market will look like when mortgage rates jump 100-200 bps when US debt is downgraded (yeah mortgage rates are based on Treasury rates). I have to believe that Wall Street has their lobbyists out in full force to get everyone to compromise (at least I hope so).
Since Obama has joined the office as President, the only solution that comes out is bailout, Stimulus package, Quantitative easing etc. In short Keep borrowing money and then borrow more money. SO when does it ever stop. First you bailed out non-functioning car companies that had already filed for bankrupty and want to die. Now you want to borrow more to keep alive the dead welfare programs like SS, Medicare etc.
Most people in our age group (20-30) will never see a penny from what is being contributed faithfully from our pay checks to Social security and medicare because it would be so expensive to keep that program running considering the current situation. So why keep these kind of programs artificially alive. Kill these programs Obama. Or atleast let us not contribute on this unconditionally. Increasing debt ceiling to borrow more for supporting these kind of programs is completely outrageous. No country ever became successful borrowing more to run charity programs. US surprisingly has 74 + welfare programs like these that it wants to keep alive. My question to you Obama is why are you supporting a lost cause? Even if you get reelected what good will it do to the american people. You were elected as president of united states to serve the country and american public, not to keep making policies or hatching new schemes to get reelected. Work on gaining respect of the people in a geniune way.
To anonymous above, please don't let facts get in the way of your propoganda. Obama has yet to raise taxes and in fact cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans during his first year in office.
And Thoughtful, just wondering if you were complaining about the debt ceiling and government borrowing during the eight years Bush was in office, turning Clinton's surplus into an enormous deficit.
Obama - "We're not Greece. We're not Portugal", but we are headed that way with reckless abandon.
The Reid/McConnell would cut $100B in spending per year out of a $1.6T deficit. Are you joking? So Obama plans on having $1.5T deficits every single year for the next ten years?
MDlaw: Obama's spending makes Bush's spending look like chicken-feed in comparison. And don't forget the Democrats controlled Congress 2006-2008, so they certainly were complicit in Bush's spending.
And, yes, we were complaining about government borrowing back then too. Clearly we were not complaining loud enough.
This Administration combines the ineptness of Carter's with the corruption of Clinton's and the venality of Nixon's.
we already have a $400 billion plus tax increase headed our way courtesy of the health care law, and we are going to get even more if and when there is a serious deficit reduction plan. i believe we have a spending problem, but i also believe in pragmatic solutions, so regardless of what the theory is, in practice we are going to need revenues to make this palatable to our democratic friends and obviously the president. the real shame here is that the big opportunity was lost when the president didn't support his own deficit commission $4 trillion plan. that was, and is still, the only 'real' plan i have heard of that meets what i think are the criteria necessary for a deal--real cuts to defense, non defense discretionary, higher revenues and a greatly reformed tax code with lower marginal rates, plus modest cuts to existing entitlement programs that generate huge savings in the out years. we might have been able to get this done if the president had gotten behind this plan and pressured repubs and dems to support it with him. now he is using rhetoric, not solid ideas or plans, to try to show that he is taking a leadership role as well as occupying the middle ground with his party...
In my opinion, Obama needs to become more Machiavellian in his approach to the bullies of the Republican Party who don't want to play if they don't get to make all the rules. This kindergarten behaviour is an insult to everyone except of course the wealthy whom they seem determined to serve above all other Americans. This debt was started by Republicans through the Bush era; the least the Republicans could do is give Democrats the tools to fix what the Republicans screwed up in the first place. America first, American's first ...not the wealthy first, not the banks first again! Why when the banks and the wealthy need help, the Republicans vote to give them money and tax breaks; yet when the average American needs help they vote to cut jobs and services for average Americans. Who do these people really serve?
Marxist Barry sure has the lamestream media on his side...
I find it interesting that when a person does not have an intelligent response, theyinvoke the name of Marx to try and alienate people from the comfort of their own beliefs. Mcarthyism apparently is still still alive.
Screw the Rich, The Wealthy, The Well To Do and everyone else with more money than me. Every time a proposal is made to cut spending some union, special interest group, environmental action committee, community action council, or partisan organization spends millions of dollars vilifying those attempting to cut funding to the government. These are the people who are winning the argument. The media fawns over the public sector unions, reporting how unfair it is that they have to pay for part of their healthcare and retirement benefits. And God forbid we actually ask them to prove their value with any sort of test of their competency or effectiveness; why we are told that is downright Un-American. How many ads are aired daily decrying all of the poor folks who will be starving, uneducated, sickly, cold and homeless; creatures living in a world of pollution, crime, and danger unless we fund every last government program imagined by politicians and those who suck at the teat of a perceived bottomless treasury. Want to pay these folks everything they demand; fine then soak the rich, raise taxes on those making more than $100,000. Bleed the money grubbing creeps, I don't care…but, I WANT MINE!
I used to buy into all that conservative crap about personal responsibility, but after almost 65 years on this planet, I know I will never be even moderately well off. My wife and I spent years sacrificing for our family, ran our own business, worked two and three jobs, scrimped, saved, sent our kids to parochial school, volunteered in our community, gave to our church and numerous charities… then and watched our savings, 401K, and home values plummet; while having to take jobs that paid well below our value. Now, I DEMAND MINE.
In the meantime I hear about how much the rich need a tax break; while some sports team owner spends $93,000 on a celebratory bottle of Champagne, and I see more Porches, Mercedes and Bentleys on the road than ever. Now, GIVE ME MINE.
I quit trying to be a good, honest, and productive citizen. Don't tell me you are cutting Social Security and Medicare. Hell I'm not happy with what I have. I am writing the president, my senator, my congressional representatives, the newspapers, and anyone else who will listen. I want an increase in my benefits, and not just a pittance. I want big increases, 20 – 30 – 50 percent… and I don't care who the government has to steal from to get it. But I will only support and vote for that politician who proves to me he can bring home the bacon…MY BACON.
"Obama has yet to raise taxes and in fact cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans during his first year in office"
-- Just a couple of points to get in the way of your daily dose of Kool Aid - I hate to do this, but I have a week spot for the stupid and the uninformed.
Keep in mind that Mr. Obama has already signed the largest tax increase since 1993. While everyone focuses on the Bush tax rates that expire after 2012, other tax increases are already set to hit the economy thanks to the 2010 Affordable Care Act. As a refresher, here's a non-exhaustive list of ObamaCare's tax increases:
• Starting in 2013, the bill adds an additional 0.9% to the 2.9% Medicare tax for singles who earn more than $200,000 and couples making more than $250,000. [THESE ARE MILLIONAIRES IN THE DEMS PERVERTED WORLD]
• For first time, the bill also applies Medicare's 2.9% payroll tax rate to investment income, including dividends, interest income and capital gains. Added to the 0.9% payroll surcharge, that means a 3.8-percentage point tax hike on "the rich." Oh, and these new taxes aren't indexed for inflation, so many middle-class families will soon be considered rich and pay the surcharge as their incomes rise past $250,000 due to tax-bracket creep. Remember how the Alternative Minimum Tax was supposed to apply only to a handful of millionaires?
• Also starting in 2013 is a 2.3% excise tax on medical device manufacturers and importers. That's estimated to raise $20 billion.[read – money that could have gone to research by device companies – hope that your heart holds out and you don't need that pacemaker – the IPAB might deny you one anyway]
• Already underway this year is the new annual fee on "branded" drug makers and importers, which will raise $27 billion. [again – more money out of research]
• Another $15.2 billion will come from raising the floor on allowable medical deductions to 10% of adjusted gross income from 7.5%.[tax on the middle class]
• Starting in 2018, the bill imposes a whopping 40% "excise tax" on high-cost health insurance plans. Though it only applies to two years in the 2010-2019 window of ObamaCare's original budget score, this tax would still raise $32 billion—and much more in future years.
• And don't forget a new annual fee on health insurance providers starting in 2014 and estimated to raise $60 billion. This tax, like many others on this list, will be passed along to consumers in higher health-care costs.
There are numerous other new taxes in the bill, all adding up to some $438 billion in new revenue over 10 years. But even that is understated because by 2019 the annual revenue increase is nearly $90 billion, or $900 billion in the 10 years after that. Yet Mr. Obama wants to add another $1 trillion in new taxes on top of this.
The economic ironies are also, well, rich. Mr. Obama is now pushing to reduce the payroll tax by two-percentage points for another year to boost the economy, but he's already built in a big increase in that same payroll tax for 2013. So if a payroll tax cut creates jobs this year, why doesn't a payroll tax increase destroy jobs after 2013?
As far as your last idiotic comment - the size of the government was about 20% GDP when Bush left office. Obama has taken that baseline and grown it to 25% GDP in only 2 years - not bad for an erstwhile community organizer. Since you're so enamored with Clinton - I agree - let's go back to Clinton sized government - about 18.5% of GDP.
The truth will set you free - but that doesn't work for ideologues.
Extending the payroll tax? Why? I got laid off and it doesn't help me.
CaveDave: Didn't you get the memo -- deficits don't matter. Reagan proved it.
It really shows you how out of touch with reality he really is if he thinks he is winning this debate. what a joke of a leader. Embarrasing!
Average Citizen, you're an idiot. The crisis started in 2006 with a dumbocrat congress. It was dumbacrats who passed TARP, and the autobailout...get it RIGHT, moron.
Obama has clearly lost the trust of this nation and congress alike. He has zero value add. This was an experiment that failed. Obama was elected president long before he had the qualifications to be one and we are living the results.
Just like Roger Mugabe and the rest...print, print, print. He is at the moment printing $1.45 for every dollar that comes in. He will keep it up, the dream from his Dad the Afrofraud.
MD law is committing malpractice, I would like to try to take you seriously, but since you don't even know the correct spelling of weak, that isn't worth the effort.
"One plan Mr. Obama said he would not support is a $2.4 trillion deficit reduction plan over 10 years that does not include tax increases, which is what the House Republicans proposed Friday morning and will vote on next week."
This is the fourth article I've read, and the second one that LIED.
Mr. Obama never used the word "tax increases," and emphasized throughout his answers REVENUE, which included loopholes and subsidies.
YOU, WSJ, with your bias and dishonesty, choose to interpret TAXPAYER GIVEAWAYS TO THOSE WHO DON"T NEED MORE MONEY as tax increases.
YOU, WSJ, should be ashamed of yourself.
So...here's the situation: If we don't pass the debt ceiling, the government will be forced to spend only what it takes in (kind of like you or me) but there are REAL CONSEQUENCES. If we do raise the debt ceiling, then the government can go on borrowing money ad infinitum and we eventually go broke, and THERE ARE VERY REAL CONSEQUENCES TO GOING BROKE.
So...if this sounds to you like the epitome of a LOSE/LOSE situation, congratulations!; you have a grasp of what our politicians and wall street have done to us.
Well, I am one Democrat that Obama is losing very, very quickly because I no longer believe that he is honest with the American public. All he thinks about is his reelection. Below is a message that I sent today to him:
"Mr. President, I am a senior at 70 and a life-long, fiscally-conservative Democrat and I demand that you IMMEDIATELY present your proposed deficit cutting and debt reducing plan IN WRITING.
I have had numerous years of experience in negotiating commercial real estate transactions and the first order of business is always to demonstrate that all of the parties to the transaction show their "good faith." Frankly, in my personal opinion all I have heard from you is chatter, chatter, chatter. You have not even submitted a responsible federal budget for the last two fiscal years. How dare you ignore your constitutional responsibility. I am convinced that you have not been forthright with us American taxpaying citizens in this entire debt ceiling fiasco.
Finally, I think that you should be ashamed of yourself in the way you are conducting the office of the POTUS. I will just warn you that in the event that you continue leading the country in the disgusting manner that you have been doing during the last 30 months I, personally, will do everything possible, financially and otherwise, to see that you do not get reelected in November 2012."
Jimbo is exactly right!
Remember last year when X country said it wasn't Y bailed-out country, everybody knew that 3 months later they'd be asking for a bail-out?
That's it Obama said "we're not Greece!"
Apparently, they're not Greece, they're worse
Where does Obama think 80% of the American people support tax increases?
boy is the media on Obama's side or what..they are not even covering what sensible people like Ron Paul are saying
But Mr. President..
If deficit spending worked why are deficits going up? Isn't keeping govt this large by borrowing trillions just prolonging this depresson? I mean if we can only afford govt by borrowing $2T in the next year..it is self defeating
SS payments..isnt' the SS trust fund fully funded?
Why would our credit rating go down ..we are not going to miss any payments..we just need to cut other spending..that is his responsibilty and Turbo Tims... borrowing more money on top of the $14T would impact our credit rating more than reducing borrowing..right?
What affect does the Financial Markets have in promoting more debt? After all Goldman Sachs gets to borrow money for free from the Federal Reserves' magical printing press and buys treasuries..collects the interest and then rolls it all over as we issue more debt...
The GOP needs to be very firm and ask Obama what the benefit would be to borrow another $2T? So far all this govt spending has not worked...and what is the impact to the borrowing? More inflation..which hits the poor the hardest
Democrats are playing a game called "now I've got you, you SoB". This was from a psychology course I took about 50 years ago. The game starts when a woman with a short skirt walks into a room and sits down in a provocative manner that reveals her underwear (remember that this was 50 years ago). The man takes a quick glance and is immediately berated by the woman and called a pervert or told he has a filthy mind. In her mind she is thinking "now I've got you, you SoB. Democrats in congress and the POTUS play the same and won't offer any useful input into the budget crisis until republicans offer solutions first then they can say, "now I've got you, you SoB
We are in trouble. Mitch McConnell and John Boehner know it. They know who the voters are. They know that a vast majority of these voters are dependents of Social Security and Medicare. They know that there aren't enough voters making over $250,000 per year. And they know that our President, yes our collective President, has not only the sympathy, but also the support of most voters.
And why does he have this support? Because he genuinely sounds like he wants to work out a long term solution to not only our budget woes, but our long term economic health as well.
But we Republicans are seen as playing politics and brinksmanship, with an overriding desire to derail any successes that our political opponents might be credited with. How do we think that this will get us into the White House in 2012? Haven't we learned from the recent history of the last time we played this brinksmanship that led to the shut down of the government?
its words words words
off the teleprompter
so bored with this little man's pronouncements, and his tired metaphors, and his catchy election speak
all he does is run for president and wag his finger at us
there's gotta be a sad, insecure masochist deep inside every person who'd still vote for him
Obama continues to demonstrate that he is clueless. And even in a politician it is rare to see his level of hypocrisy. Being the rigid ideologue that he his, he has not yet proposed any realistic solution and has stonewalled all serious proposals for a budget, yet he has the chutzpah to call Republicans "unwilling to compromise".
And interest rates? They are at approximately 0% right now. Even high-yield money market funds pay < 0.5% interest. I would welcome a rise in interest rates. And it is coming. Rates can only move up from this point. The economy is recovering, albeit at a glacial pace, and there are sure signs of inflation heating up. Interest rates will be rising regardless. Obama can no more stop it than he can control the global climate. What a moron.
I am amazed that Obama always brings up oil subsidies as an example of coorporate greed. How about mentionng General Electric Corp. which paid no taxes? Maybe if Obama just let oil companies drill, they would give up subsidies.
I can identify with cavedave. We put our 2 kids through college without one penny of help.
As a retired CT. teacher I've already been gipped on my Soc. Sec. I taught in private schools for 12 years and payed into Soc.Sec. I got a job teaching in CT. public schools. CT. teachers don't pay into Soc. Sec., so they don't collect. However many of us had other jobs which did qualify us of Soc. Sec. CT is one of the states that has the GPO/WEP. This means that my Soc. Sec. is reduced by 2/3 the amount of my Teachers' pension, despite the fact that I paid enough into Soc. Sec. at another job. As far as I'm concerned that's more than my fair share of "shared sacrifice."
I also doubt 80% of the public wants taxes raIsed. Also why doesn't Obama get of his presidential backside and make some concrete suggestions himself? He expects both parties to bring everything to him for the thumbs up or down. May he doesn't have any ideas.
Obama reminds me of the guy who killed his parents and then asked the judge for mercy on account of being an orphan. This is the guy who is saying "nyet" to cutting practically anything from his bloated budget (windmills, high speed trains to nowhere, unspent stimulus - and, of course, his health care) and yet has the chutzpah to badmouth anybody who is against raising taxes in wimpy recovery. May God save us.
Augustus, we need more people like you to be a Democrat. Maybe you can start the Democratic wing of the Tea Party and bring like minded friends with you. Start with Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin.
The silent majority of the Republican Party want a more moderate fiscal and social platform.
One plan I'd like to see Mr. Obama accept, since he keeps hyperventilating about which plans he will or won't accept -- is his OWN plan. However, our Dear Leader doesn't have a plan, except to prevaricate, stall, bluster and hold news conferences. It's amateur hour at the White House, and it's clear to this former Obama voter that I voted for an empty suit.
You can spin it all you want, and keep making stuff up, but the fact is the president is serious. He has made enormous concessions that are angering a lot of Democrats. The Republicans are simply saying no. They have idiotically pledged to Grover Norquist that they won't ever, never, ever raise taxes, and people are seeing that this is completely unfair. Obama is winning this argument hands down.
Is this the WSJ or the Obama for President campaign website? That was the most one-sided article I've ever read in this newspaper.
Incredible. Americans spoke loud and clear on Nov 2 2010. There will be no debt increase, no tax increase. Keep your doom and gloom to youselves, we don't care about a temporary credit rating blip. If the markets suffer, we're sorry, we bailed wall st out for the last time. Consider this repayment. A small price to pay to end the Fedzilla fleecing of it's employers.
Obama is a FRAUD !! Like the passage of Obamacare which Obama thought would Crown him KING CHAVEZ OF AMERICA, the opposite happened !! The American people are listening,watching and see Obama for the LIAR and FRAUD that he really is !! . Everything Obama touches turns to CRAP and so will raising the debt ceiling and his BIG DEAL !! The only thing this Marxist knows how to do is CAMPAIGN and SPEECHIFY !! Well the Non-Communist majority in this Country have grown DEAF to that Teleprompter !! Obama is a ONE-TERMER WALKING !! As he spends and spends our hard earned tax dollars, the ECONOMY KEEPS TANKING and by Nov 2012, Obama will HEAR US again !!
He stands there and tells us that most Republicans want tax increases cause the polls say so. Huh. I read the polls. What polls is he looking at? is it another bald face lie ? Rassmussen and Gallup say otherwise. Meanwhile mainstream Woodward and Bernsteins simply look the other way. I'm now covinced more than ever that the Bamster wants to crash the economy. Our press and media are complicit in this scheme whether or not they reaize it. Will someone ask him why he didn't allow the Bush Tax cuts to lapse 7 months ago? Does he really think the economy has improved since then? Where was I when that happened?
re you tired of real estate agents ripping you off? Afraid to tackle selling your home by yourself because the process in confusing and intimidating? My Six Percent walks you through the home buying/selling similar to how Turbo Tax walks you through the tax preparation process. We're free, organized and intuitive.
My Six Percent - Because You Don't Need a Real Estate Agent
Exactly which "cut" angered Obama's base? The one he said he might be willing to pledge a future president and Congress to make long after the current crop has all left office? One reporter -- the one from ABC -- had the guts to leave the leftist reservation and ask the president to name just one entitlement he had agreed to cut a part of his "big bargain." The president couldn't name even one. It's not exactly leadership to phone it in for the last year, ignore your own commission's ideas, then step in to "take charge" and do nothing but hold blustery, obnoxious press conferences where you castigate others for not having a plan but actually refuse to propose one yourself.
Anyone who thinks that Barry is winning either the propaganda war or doing the right thing by blathering on and on, droning like a prosaic professor, is smoking some really bad ghetto crack. The guy's voters jumped ship a long time ago. I know. I'm one of them, and to say I'm not impressed is the understatement of the century.
The guy is an unqualified, sanctimonious bubble of hot air and image-driven puffery that can't and won't exert even one ounce of real leadership. The tragedy is that if he would just bring his own big plan to the table and cut the silly shtick about corporate jets and the laughable rhetoric about the "rich" not paying "their fair share" he could get a big spending cut through, have his debt ceiling increase, win back a lot of independents and coast to victory. If he would back his claims to being fiscally responsible by supporting a balanced budget amendment he'd lock up the election tomorrow. But he's incapable of doing that because he's a feeble-minded socialist and really a crummy strategist. Badly misplayed, but sooner or later the incompetence was going to be obvious. I guess we can expect press conferences several times a day now until no one even shows up anymore.
Personally I'd like to see Congress just wrap thing up and go on recess.
"Even as he chastised Republicans for playing politics with the nation's economic future, he played some of his own. He said Republicans who insist on a deal that includes no new tax revenue are out of step with the American people, most of whom want a "balanced" deal that includes spending cuts and tax increases."
Guess I don't understand how this is "playing politics". I lean anti-GOP (not Dem, but definitely anti-GOP), but most of my friends are GOP fans. Even they say that we need to have spending cuts (mainly spending cuts) but also tax increases, especially the ones that close loopholes allowing millionaires to pay lower percent of their income in taxes than they (they are middle class) do. Think Obama is on the right side of this argument.
I really WANT to play poker with Obama.
Who tells anyone in poker that they are bluffing?
This guy is not ready for Prime Time.
Hey ibjibdecoder, Name calling and insults are the defence of the poorly educated, so I will categorize your comments and opinions with that in mind.
Who should Republican Representatives cater to, the American voter or Grover G. Norquist. I believe it is irresponsible for an elected official to sign away his or her ability to make any choices which may be in the favour of a strong America.
Wealthy Americans are living the good life in America, why it is so wrong to ask them to help America be strong during a difficult time which is a culmination of debt created by both parties, largely due to the war.
Obama is offering huge cuts which will affect mostly the poor and middle classes and when added to increased revenue from abolishing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, would put America in good standing financially. That is all Americans sacrificing for the good of the country. It seems to me that that is what patriotism is all about.
Obama reminds me of Charlie Sheen. Winning, winning. They are both mad as hatters.
average citizen - please point to a link or something that shows what line items Obama is offering in "huge" spending cuts. So far, no one can find anything. There is no budget and there is no plan by Obama. He just gave a generic statement with no backup.
Even if you got rid of the current tax rates for the wealthy (defined as ??) calculations have been done that would only be 700 billion over 10 years, 70 billion a year which is chump change. Plus this assumes the wealthy don't change their ways or decide not to make as much money. There is no way taxing the wealthy can put America in good standing financially. Where are the jobs????
The only way to get America back to financial stability is to get rid of Obama so we can end the Obama Depression.
Where are the jobs? Government can't create jobs, all they can do is take money (taxes) from the job creators and give to other people. There is no wealth created, it is just a transfer of money, no pie increase, the size of the pie stays the same.
The only way to create jobs and grow the economy is to keep the money in the private sector where the job creators are. We need to increase the number of tax payers, i.e., people with jobs, so we can have growth and increase revenue to the government. Raising taxes on the wealthy will just allow the government to keep on spending.
I decided to subscribe to the WSJ because I thought I would read thoughtful articles and read intelligent comments from readers. I have to say I'm annoyed by both and am ready to drop my subscription. This paper just isn't the same as it was in the 1980's when I first began reading.
As for reader comments...some of the comments are as insulting as is the politics in Washington DC. Blame, Blame and more blame. I'm sick of the blame and all of the propoganda some of you spew on this site.
Maybe I've been around this ole world to many years and becoming less and less tolerant of the idiot comments and politics.
I think the comment made that I agree with most is that we had a nice surplus during the Clinton years and with Bush we got tax cuts and increased spending. This was a result of 9-11. Now, some people are trying to blame this on Obama? Give me an f'n break. This is NOT my first rodeo. My memory is good and I know whats been going on so I'd appreciate the idiots to stop blaming and that includes the nut case republicans and the idiot tea partiers.
One thing we can all be sure of is that our interest rates are going up, whether or not there is a deal on the debt ceiling. The Fed has managed to tamp down the inflation tsunami that is heading our way. There is just too much money in the system with all the "stimulus" the 0 and company have done over the past 30 months for the system not to react. So, just watch your interest rates creep up over the next six months or so...and really start to gallop just before the fall of 2012.
And I'm just a sure that if bo wins the election America will become a third rate power and another example of what socialism did to Europe.
Yes definitely USA is not Portugal, the estimated deficit for 2011 will 9.8% of GDP in USA whereas Portugal will be 5.9%... also USA's economy is the most dependent in the world on internal consumption which itself depends on abundant cheap credit, disposable income and low unemployment...
Definitely USA is different from Portugal, they are involved in multi-billion endless wars and have a big portion of the population defaulting on their huge debt.
But the main differences are that USA's mafia-meets-casino financial institutions gang up with USA's corrupted ratings agencies oligopoly as well as USA's morally and financially bankrupt government to undermine the Euro's status of a safe heaven by speculating against small EU countries debt and thus prevent other countries from selling out their worthless US bonds and exchange them by Euro bonds! Freaking hypocrites!
The President is a congenital liar. There is no truth in him. Every word he speaks is a lie, including "the" and "and."
Again, his speeches are filled with lies and cheap political tripe. What a failure both as a president and as a man.
What no one in this nation wants to accept is that it is too late. The government has already broken open the piggy bank. Now it is going to be scrounging for pennies the rest of our natural lives. Only a lucky few will ever be able to "retire" based on the fruits of their own labors. Not quite half of the rest of us will have an increasing share of our incomes from actual labor taken from us and handed to the more than half lacking any marketable skills or even any capabilities to produce items that anyone else would want. The president has no understanding of how normal humans react to incentives, so he does not understand this; he honestly thinks that he is doing good even as he works toward transforming this into an unproductive, second-rate nation.
"The American people aren't paying attention to the details of every aspect of this negotiation, but I think what the American people are paying attention to is, who seems to be trying to get something done, and who seems to be just posturing and trying to score political points?"
The President is a fear-monger and demagogue in this battle. There are hundreds of things the government can do before they would have to stop payments to Social Security recepients, military pay, student loans, etc. You notice how he picks on the most sensitive potential voters. What a liar he is.
The solution to countless debt ceiling limit increasing is constitutional requirement to balance the budget. When a President wants to fund a major project, he has to think if he has the money.
This President stimulated the economy. Now, he asked each and everyone to pay for it. That is not fair. You are welcome to stimulate; I am fine if you did not stimulate it. But it is absolute No for me to share the cost.
The Republicans who are oppose any tax increase are not those who can not afford. They are play back to the game the President played when he advocated for economic stimulus.
Why is it such a good deal to raise my taxes to cover a loan for a beuaracrat to buy votes. Wake up America, the legislature is passing another $200,000 loan to each taxpayer that will indebt you for life. We don't get anything for a tax increase, we just get to pay more to the government so it can raise the debt ceiling agiain. I thought slavery was outlaed. We have all been asleep!
I find it most interesting that a post that refers to the Rasmmus3n site or the Ga11up site gets eaten by the WSJ filters.
"A family, if they get overextended and their credit card is too high, they don't just stop paying their bills. What they do is they say, 'How do we start cutting our monthly costs?" Mr. Obama said. "We keep on making payments, but we start cutting out the things that aren't necessary, and we do it in a way that maintains our credit rating."
The corollary to this is that same family doesn't just go out and take money that it didn't earn to pay for things either. If they want to increase their revenue they have to provide a better product or service than they were before.
Pennsylvania Farmer - That's to prevent any actual "news" or anything that could be construed as "actual reporting" to intrude on Murdoch's empire....
Obama has masterfully played this one. By cutting off Cantor and leaving the room, he sent a message to mainstream America that Cantor is a petulant child. The President's re-election campaign is on the ground in 50 states while the GOP is still beating back the teabaggers. I'm thinking that the probability of an Obama re-election landslide is looking more and more probable.
Nov 2012 can't come soon enough. 33% of the people support the clown in office. The public opinion is clear.

"Don't call my bluff..."
In his "press" conference the President stated that when a family gets overextended they "keep on making payments, but we start cutting out the things that aren't neccessary, and we do it in a way that maintains our credit rating."
Well, the president's family would do two more things according to his" balanced" approach:
(1) They would obtain another credit card to pay off some more billls (increase debt ceiling)
(2) March down to their wealthier neighbor's home and demand they pay off their debt with the threat of force. ( increase taxes)
You have to love our President's family values.
I'm voting for Obama, he is my opinion better than any of the other candidates.
whatnow - You mean the greater percentage of Americans who trust Obama on the economy than the Republicans? Or the 60% approval rating? Not sure which polling you're referring to...
Actually, I believe that when an American family has a credit card bill, a) they pay it and b) if they need more money they GET ANOTHER JOB. It's called raising revenue, something that the current GOP can't really fathom.
Publieke opinie is het belangriijkste wat er is. Jammer genoeg zijn meer dan 80 p^rocent niet op de hoogte of houden zich bezig met luxe en de ernst niet inzien van wat zou kunnen veranderen of wat het te bereiken doel is. Door omstandigheden ben ik mij gaan verdiepen in echt alles en ben tot de meest onthustende ontdekking gekomen. In mijn ogen hebben wij het recht om op de hoogte gesteld te worden van dergelijke ingrijpende of laten we zeggen bevindingen die MISSCHIEN voor 80 procent kloppen. Het is niet aan enkele om keuzes te maken vind ik nu en toch begrijp ik volkomen wat hun beweegreden is echter eerder ingrijpen had een mogelijkheid geweest. Het is jammer tot we in dit tijdperk tot de vaststelling moeten komen dat er zo gereageerd wordt. lachen en plezier maken zeggen ze hier ... Dom, inderdaad.
Waarschijnlijk een van de weinige die echt een andere oplossing ziet en deze wereld niet kapot wil laten maken door een stelletje idioten die niet weten waar het over gaat en anderzjjds goed wetend dat er een andere mogelijkheid is.
Vind het niet erg als ik er niet meer ben, echter heb een dochter van 8 jaar en ik wil dat zij wakker wordt met het gevoel iets te kunnen betekenen.
Geraakt worden is in een flank.
Een bom creeren we zelf, perfect af te weren niet tegen te houden.
Enkele maanden geleden wilde ze dat ik iets duidelijk maaktte dit is mij niet gelukt, echter heb me nog nooit zo sterk en zeker gevoeld, enkel en allen metwat wij met onze kennis WAAR kunnen maken.
Go ahead and raise my taxes! It will be easier to leave the land of the slaves and the home of the progressives. Let slavery reign... One neigbor will pay for the others life. the elite class will dictate who succeeds and who fails. I will take my chanes in a new world where government resepect a persons freedoms by not taxing them to death....
Obama never had even a dream about deficit reduction until re-election started heating up. He's a dyed-in-the-wool tax and spend, income redistributing liberal, and the source of money to spend is just assumed. Four more years of Obama's policies and we'll be lucky to be only second to China.
The President said in his press conference that he had stacks of paper and many spreadsheets with plans to sole the debt issue. Why doesn't he share them with us? He could post them on Twitter or Facebook or the White House web site.
Mr. President, you have not sold the American people but rather the majority of the voting public now realizes that in addition to being a prima facie fabricator, you are quite simply the most self congratulatory, obnoxiously self promoting, sanctimonious president ever, who employs a disingenuous communication style of insolence, evasion, contradiction and deception.
Again I say and ask, IS THIS an ploy to create a way to declare a Natioal Emergency? Reason: So thaat the Adminstrative Branch can set aside the Legeistrative Branch. No matter what it appears that is the case and EVERY action and statement by the Radical Democratic Force makes that their point.
Tom, that is, without a doubt, the dumbest thing posted here, to date.
Raise that imaginary debt limit now - and stop shooting yourself in the foot.
This "debate" between the political parties is a disgrace. The Republicans will not budge on ending the Bush tax credits for the super wealthy while the middle class drowns in unemployment, reduced hours and pay, expensive cost of living. Add to insult is the way these rotten politicians want to downsize our wonderful programs as Social Security which monthly amounts need to be raised when the baby boomers retire AND Medicare. Without these programs, what do we have to look forward to??
It is a shame that the Republicans want to protect the super wealthy as the top 1% of the country earns the substantial amount of earnings and has the power (i.e. the politicians the the folks running for President).
Is this a democracy or an oligarchy?? We are like Russia and Iran now with little or no voice for us proletariats!

It is apparent that Obama is more interested in giving a speech to enhance his chance to win the presidency than fixing the debt.
You screwed up America!.... voting this president in.
I haven't seen things this level of lying and misrepresentation of the truth in Washington since the 60's,
can't wait for 11/2012... hopefully America will get it's wheels back on the tracks once again.
But not with this clown in office... The GREAT DIVIDER
I am hurt. A posting all writen in GERMAN over three paragraphs long is given prominence on the unbiased WallStreet journal postings and my intgelligent critical commentary is no where to be seen.HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?
It is not public opinion that is at stake. Rather it is a entire country and all of it's people that are hostages to these inept elected officials.
Just get a deal done, save the country and then work on public opinion. Reverse the order of importance from politics to governing.
Obama's idea of a deal is tax increases that take effect right now followed by make believe spending cuts in the future that never will happen. It is an old liberal trick that the people will not fall for as long as the GOP tells the truth loudly.
This is like watching the same bad movie all over again. We all know how it ends. Badly for the Economy and the burden increases for already overtaxes U.S. taxpayers.
Mr. Petulant himself says one thing, waxes on and on about evil rich people needing to pay their fair share - but now rich people includes small businesses that earn $250k or more. His plans won't hurt us little people, even though we are employed by the small businesses that he intends to penalize for earning money. So when our pay is cut by our small business employer as they struggle to stay afloat in this horrible economy, or when our friends and coworkers, and possibly us personally find ourselves with a pink slip in hand and pointed to the nearest unemployment office - we know who to thank.
We are supposed to feel guilty and rich for still having an employer, because our neighbor down the street has been out of work, on SSI, or is in foreclosure....and as our paychecks shrink we are told we the Consumer are at Fault for not buying more. Our employers are at fault for not Hiring more. Everyone is at fault, but the people who wrote the laws and regulations that lead us to this debacle.
And now you try to talk tough as you play chicken - with raising the debt ceiling and leveraging your tax increase out of it so you and your cronies can continue to spend spend spend. No thank you Mr. Petulant. Enough Already.
For those who don't think small businesses are going to be impacted by this....or that it's all ok -- because after all they are 'wealthy'...well I'm not biting from that apple. I know personally after having our family impacted with 3 paycuts in 2 years that went across the board at our small company -- in order to save us from having to lay anyone off. Paycuts coupled with higher costs of living means we are earning less now. And if this 'tax revenue' against America's wealthiest goes into effect, we can look forward to another paycut and/or a layoff. And our family personally in no way even comes close to meeting the supposed $250k threshold for making rich people pay their fair share. So go ahead increase those taxes -- you will only decrease the earned income of my family -- which by the way -- we pay taxes on ...so Mr. President, what you take out of one end, you ultimately lose in the other.
Watching Obama the last few weeks reminds me of nothing so much as Muhammad Ali's "Rope-A-Dope" strategy against George Foreman in Zaire in the 1974 Rumble in the Jungle. Obama comes out, day after day, blandly stares into the camera with those button flat eyes, and just says the same thing over and over again. He asks for people to give him things. A plan in 36 hours. He doesnt want his bluff called (?). Why would a bluffer want his bluff called? He wants the big deal of $4B, except he has no details. He makes up poll results - 80% of Americans want higher taxes? And generally it is the tactics of stubborn repetition and bullet headed obstinancy. He must think this is all he has to do to wear the opposition down, and it remains to be seen if that is right. But the approach, and tactic, is worth noting. Yes, it is childish. A little crazy - doing the same thing that hasnt worked over and over. And ignoring reality, ignoring the record. Making believe that each new day he can start all over again with the same mantra, that when he is told "no", he can ignore that and take it to mean "yes". It is relying on the office of the Presidency to carry the argument, when there is no other argument. A most cynical process.
War is expensive, that's been inherited. Social Security has enough to pay out for 25 years. What is really holding things up? Republicans refuse to repeal tax cut on the wealthy and corporations. There are more millionaires every year because there are plenty of tax benefits and tax deductions for the top earners, and that has to be adjusted. Bigger CEO and executive paychecks again. While top wage earners' compensation grows wildly, middle class is being gutted. The wealthiest are paying less over the years, direct link to our country's growing debt. How will Republicans pay for all the military in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya? with middle class taxes and hurting the poor while cutting meager programs to the elderly and poor when, clearly, the wealthiest have more than enough to support the government's expenditures at war. I call THAT balancing the budget. Republicans drag this out, after 13 times raising debt ceiling without blinking. Stop politics-as-usual and get to work - discuss, cooperate, negotiate - I'm so sick of 'posturing and false rhetoric' in Congress.
This country has gone crazy. Why are we trying to cut benefits for people born in this country. There are so many other ways to cut spending. I have heard that we give social security to people that enter the country illegally. What is wrong with making them enter legally before they get benefits. When I was in Florida the government was trying to give the governor money for a railroad between Orlando and Tampa and he didn't even want it. I have heard that they are talking about a railroad between Chicago and St. Louis. I am sure we can do without either as they have in the past. I have heard that we help oil cimpanies. If this is true, it is unbelievable. Do we have to help every country that has a disaster. Why not ask the churches and Red Cross to raise money? Would they help us? It is good to be charitable but only if you take care of your own first. I have trouble believing that this counry is for the people, by the people anymore. The first thing that we should do is make lobbyist illegal. I don't think that the representatives or senators actually represent their people anymore. I suppose a nice trip to the Bahamas is hard to resist. We have computers. Why don't we let the people vote for what they want to spend money unless it involves helping someone in this country. This county needs a major overhaul before we go down the tubes.

I'll still vote for Obama in the next election. GOP have shown that they're either incompetent, evil, or a mix of the two.
More fear mongering from President Obama if Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling and enact spending cuts including cuts to Social Security and Medicare but no tax increases. Obama keeps warning against the dire consequences of a default if the debt ceiling is not raised by his August 2 deadline - the consequences to include withholding issuance of Social Security checks on August 3 and higher interest. However, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner says there will be NO default regardless of whether the debt ceiling is raised.
So it looks like Obama's policy of hope and changed has turned into a policy of fear - fear that if he is not reelected there will be dire consequences for the American people. Well, I'm not buying it.

America is so bless to have someone like Obama
We wish
This country is run by big business and powerful lobbyists
Got to love the hypocrisy of Obama:
--- "He said that increasing the U.S. government's borrowing limit to avoid default may not be enough to protect nation's economy if the move isn't accompanied by a significant plan to reduce the federal deficit."
Didn't he and the democrats clowns advocated a "clean" ceiling raise just a few weeks ago?
--- "The president also rejected a Balanced Budget Amendment that some Republicans are pushing, saying all that does is put tough decisions off for another day"
COrrect. Let's pass a debt ceiling now, spend now. The spending cut will happen in 2013, ur.. 2014, no, let's make it in 10 years time. That is dealing with tough decisions NOW, I am sure.
--- "Even as he chastised Republicans for playing politics with the nation's economic future, he played some of his own."
Right again, he will end politics-as-usual in Washsington, a change that we can believe in?
--- "Still, he suggested it wouldn't take much for lawmakers to broker a significant compromise. "We don't have to do anything radical to solve this problem,""
Absolutely! Tax and spend will not be radical. Real spending cut is tough.
--- "Mr. Obama said. "We should not even be this close to the deadline."
Yeah. He hasn't been involved in the negotiation until 2 weeks ago, because there were a few more important matters that required his attention, e.g. the golf games.
--- "One plan Mr. Obama said he would not support is a $2.4 trillion deficit reduction plan over 10 years that does not include tax increases,"
Yes, but he just said above that he wasn't "locked into ideologically rigid positions" during this debate." So, tax has to be, absolutely positively 100% must be part of the solution - and that is not ideologically rigid position.
--- "A family, if they get overextended and their credit card is too high, they don't just stop paying their bills. What they do is they say, 'How do we start cutting our monthly costs?" Mr. Obama said. "
So, where his spending cut or at least plan for spending cut, since he took office, or since this debate started. Nah... we need to increase tax on the filty evil rich people to balance the approach. And of course, he forgot that democrats has been saying that government's finance is different from household's.
--- "Mr. Obama also pushed for an extension of the payroll tax break for employees,"
Really want to laugh this one out. Did anyone forget that 2012 is his re-election? No, he doesn't want a permanent tax break of any sort for anyone, but just for next year.
Omg r u telling me this guy is trying to run again ?!?!?!? Stay the f... Away and I would not give u my VOTE this time around either how much more do u wanna destroy this country!!!! Go back where u came fro me damn it !!!!!
Also they wiLl get about $2000 a year for my daughter back to go strait to our Gov. My daughter is 4 years old and get her fathers SSI and surviving spouse benifits who got KIA in 2008. I can't clam here bcuz she makes a couple of $more then me so u guys in Congress and Obama u guys keep up the good work make us ppl of this great country (soldiers and there families, Vetrans, our old ppl and sick ppl, and our homeless ppl and kids ) let take more money from them so u guys don't have to get a pay cut and Obama u for serving as a President get a Salery of $400000 a month and u don't pay taxes for the rest of ur life !!! I know u nor worried what it does to this country and the ppl !!!! A Soldier who gets KIA in a war zone get a one time payment of $400000 and that's rite ????? R u kidding me really ?????
Note that the President's comments below do not include "make a plan to rob their neighbors". So why does he reject any plan that avoids raising taxes (or increasing revenues through closing "loopholes")?
"A family, if they get overextended and their credit card is too high, they don't just stop paying their bills. What they do is they say, 'How do we start cutting our monthly costs?" Mr. Obama said. "We keep on making payments, but we start cutting out the things that aren't necessary, and we do it in a way that maintains our credit rating."

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Dead Rising 2
Question from flechetteXXX
How do you catch up to TK on the train?
I cant catch up to the train. Every time I try it just speeds up in about the first 20 seconds and I lose. And every time I go to jump off one of the "ramps" he goes off the jump and I lose in mid air. WTF?
5 years ago
I was wandering the time thing myself but I should still have plenty of time for the case. The bar is in the red but its still got a good bit of length on it. The problem Im having is that as soon as the chase starts the train speeds up and off the screen before I can even catch up. The only way I can even hit the ramp is by sticking to the right side immediately after the chase begins but when I go off the ramp the train is already to far ahead to jump onto so I just lose out in mid air. Im thinking its a glitch because Ive noticed every time Im about to lose one of the mercenaries on the train will "fall" off the train and just be floating in mid air behind the train.

i dont think u having problems with the Train.
I think you are just having a time problem with the Case File being to close to expire.

Counting – Reciting Numbers is Not Counting! I can remember learning to count. Counting was so abstract. We just counted for the sake of counting, reciting numbers each day. There was no correlation to the real world and counting. Yes, I knew many counting songs and counting rhymes but we were not given the hands on experience that is needed to count.
Children learn by doing, experiencing and talking. If you get them to count to twenty without making any reference to any objects, they will be unable to count accurately when given a set of objects to count. What tends to happen is when they are given a set of objects to count, they fail to recognise that to count a given quantity one has to count accurately and not miss out objects or count them twice.
I am not saying that recite counting is not beneficial, as it is useful for testing their knowledge. What I am saying is that counting needs to be specific, and in order for a child to count they need to count something, reciting numbers is not counting.
I am not saying that recite counting is not beneficial, as it is useful for testing their knowledge. What I am saying is that counting needs to be specific, and in order for a child to count they need to count something, reciting numbers is not counting.
Learning Numbers – How to help your child with counting:
- Start by getting them to recite numbers up to ten. Use real objects and point to them. This will help with counting.
- Give them items to count.
- Make them touch each item they are counting.
- When counting objects, get them to move each object to the side, to separate them from the rest of the objects.
- Slow them down. Often, if they are used to just reciting numbers, they go too fast when counting objects.
- Get them to count all sorts of things from counting bricks, oranges, houses, patterns on the carpet, the stairs and their fingers.
- Let them count their fingers, toes , ears and eyes. Often young children are not aware of how many fingers and toes they have , even if they can count up to ten, so don't forget to make it personal.
- Give them plenty of practice with counting – each day do ten or fifteen minutes. Use missing number worksheets. You can also quickly write some of these out by hand, you don't always have to print out a worksheet.
- At first, your child may only be able to count up to a small number maybe six or seven. With time, this will increase. Set a target to of five , then ten and so on.
- Introduce your child to what numbers look like. You can use large playing cards for this or just write numbers and cut them out. Whilst they are counting, show them the numbers on the cards.
- Let your child write the numbers down. This will give practice with handwriting skills.
- Sing counting songs and learn counting rhymes.
- Aside from the ten or fifteen minutes a day, make counting part of your daily life. Encourage your child to count and count with them when out shopping, cooking, setting the table – just count!
Just Count √
What should my child know for Year 1 Maths – ks1?
Counting in twos, fives and tens
Once your child is confident with counting in ones, introduce them to counting in twos and fives. Introduce twos and tens by using objects to explain what what is actually happening. So if you want to count in twos, get some pasta:
Once they have mastered counting in twos, you can move on to tens and fives in the same way.
- First count the pasta in ones. Then count them in twos.
- Draw you child's attention to the fact that even if they count in twos or ones, you will still have the same quantity at the end.
Once they have mastered counting in twos, you can move on to tens and fives in the same way.
Good Luck.
Counting to 100
Next help your child count to 100:
Once your child can count in tens they are ready to counting up to 100. Start with getting to twenty first. Give plenty of practice.
Once your child can count in tens they are ready to counting up to 100. Start with getting to twenty first. Give plenty of practice.
- Use a fill in the missing numbers sheet to really reinforce what they have learned.
- Once they are proficient.
- Move on the counting to 30.
- Again, plenty of practice and missing numbers number worksheets will help with counting.
- Show your child written numbers to thirty. Show them the pattern of the units just going up in ones and then after 9 we jump to thirty.
- Remind your child that counting to 100 follows the same pattern as when they counted to 10.
- Children do not have to count 100 objects. if you apply what I stated above about counting objects, by now they will understand the relationship between objects, quantity and numbers.
- Reciting numbers to 100 and completing missing number worksheets, alongside writing the numbers, will give your child a great foundation.
Good luck, just have fun counting.

How did you first hear about Common Sense Media?
Submitted by johnwilliams on
Jump to navigation
Parents need to know that Ziggity Zoom is a fun, lightly educational site for preschoolers or early readers and their parents. This creative site is filled with games, printables, and craft activities for kids that encourage reading, coloring, drawing, and imagination. Parents must login with their Facebook accounts for kids to play some of the games. There's so much here to choose from that preschoolers will likely need a parent's help to navigate the site (at least the first few visits) to find what's right for their individual age and abilities. There's also a parent section with articles about education, healthy habits, arts and crafts, and other topics. Whether looking for a holiday craft or a rainy day game, you'll likely find something engaging on Ziggity Zoom.
Most of the games on Ziggity Zoom are engaging and easy for preschoolers to figure out on their own. They'll need some direction to find the games or printables that are appropriate for their current level.
There are many ways that preschoolers and early readers can approach basic skills, including online games, food, crafts, and printable charts, so that even if one approach doesn't appeal, another likely will.
There's almost as much content on this site for parents as for kids, so parents will find information about education, craft ideas, and printable charts and reward sheets to help reinforce good habits.
ZIGGITY ZOOM provides preschoolers and early grade-schoolers a fun place to explore online. The site also contains information for their parents, including kid-friendly recipes, videos of crafts, and holiday activities. The site's main page includes many categories of content, including Family, Crafts, Food, Printables, Learning, Tech, Kids (games and stories), Activities, as well as a blog (not regularly updated) and holiday sections. There are also areas that include worksheets and homeschooling resources. If you're looking for something specific, use the search field.
Most of the games on Ziggity Zoom are engaging and easy for preschoolers to figure out on their own. They'll need some direction to find the games or printables that are appropriate for their current level. Kids this age want to try computers like the big kids, but they also still value hands-on and outdoor fun. Ziggity Zoom provides both, and a meaty parent section, too. Online easy reader books add to the fun.
Families can talk about the healthy lifestyle messages this site includes, such as the games that take kids outside. The Look and Find printout sheets for the park, zoo, and backyard are excellent examples of finding resources online that can get kids outdoors and moving.
Ask your young computer user to compare coloring the whimsical coloring pages online versus printing them and coloring with crayons. What's the difference in the two experiences?

What's-her-pajamas is seriously one hawt woman. Been that way since I first saw her in the first X-Men movie, but there's snthmeiog about this series that never grabbed me. I don't hate it. . . I dunno . . . just snthmeiog about this particular brand of Vampire doesn't itch my Vampire fetish. I think the first couple episodes went a little over the top with the gratuitous vamp sex and it kind of ruined the image in my opinion; like it was the big selling point of the whole series or snthmeiog.

S/O Hall Pass famous peeps?
Do you have a "list?"
We sort of do but we both laugh at each other because we know it will never happen. So if he sees my person he laughs and says, "Hey look it's your boyfriend!"
And honestly if it EVER was EVEN CLOSE to happening, yeah I wouldn't. But we both giggle about it.
dh's is Kerry Washington
mine is Chris Brown, Zoe Saldanawe both would do Khloe Kardasian lol like you said never gonna happen but its funny
We obviously both know it would never happen, however it's nice to fantasize
