“Are you guys incompetent or what?”

“Are you guys incompetent or what?” Not only incompetent but stupid, greedy, self-serving, useless and lazy. Hack congressfraud tries parading the usual BS talking points but CNBC’s Bartiromo is not buying. Listen for the burst of applause from the stage crew at the 3:00 mark.

  • Just about everybody in the congress and senate are stupid and incompetent, and greedy liars to boot. Especially the Commircrats, who have raised the bar for graft and corruption.

  • Being from the People's Republic Of Maryland , and big Ben being the senior senator here, I heard this transfer and wondered , where has this type of questioning been of late .

    Ben , normally is VERY slick , but he definitely was blind sided this time . He maintained the talking points for as long as he could , but as usual never answered the serious questions .

    On some of the local news , it was mentioned how rude Bartiromo was to the "senior " senator and only goes to show the desperate nature of the right .

    Thanks for posting the pasting .

  • "Bbbbbbut my 'balanced approach' is to tax the 'rich' then tax them some more then, when that fails, tax everyone else."

    Hey Senator, I have an idea--why don't we keep the tax rates for the "rich" (those making more than $250k/yr) the same as they are now, and reduce the rate for the "not rich" by 20% across the board? Then "the rich" will pay more of their "fair share" which is what you guys keep babbling about.

      • Wanna bet?
        Is there anyone out there that doesn't believe I could go over the budget and find at least 1 trillion in cuts before I got 1/2 way through it?
        Give me the financial reins, and we could eliminate the national debt and still keep the military strong, give them all a nice raise, and still finance everything that we are constitutionally required to. It may take a few years, and there would be quite a few bureaucratic cuts, but it would be worth it.

        • When I was in business school I took a class where each of us had to balance the budget. This exercise was on a website designed for that purpose. This was back in the good old days of only being about $4T in debt with a $100-125B budget deficit. As I recall I balanced the budget in about 30 minutes. The cuts were easy to do because the waste was everywhere.

          • I looked into the others I could find, but they didn't give options to cut pork projects, and foreign aid could only be cut by 1/2. It seems one of them had an agenda because one of the biggest budget savings was to institute Cap and Trade.
            I would love to see one that allows for all options, not just a select few.
            I refused to even look at the one that the AARP had!

        • But Poppa, you're obviously a crazy man, and ALL your cuts would be draconian. Just ask a lib.

          No, we really DO need to know the personal sex habits of Japanese male prostitutes. For example.
