hMM,
I wonder why people use credit cards for FOOD and GAS??
COST OF LIVING IS TO HIGH.
This isn’t satire. Republicans don’t know funny and couldn’t do satire if their life depended on it.
Can anyone name a Republican comedian? And no, Dennis Miller is not funny and I don’t ever remember him being funny.
Now who would’ve guessed Mustard wouldn’t understand the sarcasm. Talk about buffoons. Ha!
#33 – Onan
Hey, at least I can SPELL MY FUCKING NAME RIGHT, you dimwit. Or is that “satire” too?
#33 – Onan the Spelling Bee Champ
>>Now who would’ve guessed Mustard wouldn’t
>>understand the sarcasm.
Uhhh, I never said anything about the sarcasm, champ. But now that you mention it, it’s about the level of sarcasm that would entertain a first-grader, if you explained what “leverage” means.
The joke, as it usually is with dimwits like you, is on the acolytes of Fred Dalton Thompson. That razor-sharp “satire” comes right back to bite him like a deadly snake – all that shit he’s lampooning with his “satire” (leveraging yourself out of debt, continuing to spend and spend, don’t save anything, blah blah blah) describes Dumbyas financial plan to a tee.
Stupid Repuglicans. When they make fun of something, they end up pulling a Plaxico Burress, and poppin’ a cap in they own damn fool ass.
Thanks to borrow-and-spend conservatism, the government has already spent my retirement money AND my kids. (and probably my grandkids’ too)
Wake up people, wake up! We have been asleep too long…fat sated and asleep. As long as most of us were oh so comfortable we ignored our government and it became our master not our servant. This video just highlights how much they control us and to blame a single party is just too ludicrous. Now it might be the time we have pay for our lack of attention. Maybe it is just a cycle our so called democracy has to endure-boom and bust. I only hope that it doesn’t get so bad that a dry place to sleep and just enough to eat is the best we can hope for.
What is this some Republican gag reel?

Actually, SS $ is the only money of yours the gov’t has. It has been spent for decades…
