I would make Paul Ryan eat his crazy budget.

I bet you would. Lets just go by Ubama's budget. PRINT MORE AND MORE MONEY. That would make you lefties so very happy.

 

[Gadawg73]

Social Security has been tuned and tweaked several times since its creation. It just needs some more tuning and tweaking - not VOUCHERS. Vouchercare is not what American want.

bullshit.....the word is RAIDED......

The word is RAIDED......the names are Ronald Reagan, Alan Greenspan and David Stockman.

Democratic Congress passed it overwhelmingly.

WELL DUH

"Reagan forced us to do it Mommy"

Ignorance is growing.

business expense...if you owned the Horse you would be doing the same dam thing....

A legitimate business has to have a reasonable expectation of being able to make money.

A legitimate business has to have a reasonable expectation OF WHAT GOVERNMENT POLICY WILL BE on taxes.
And with Obama I do not have that. I have "we will do this and that for another year and see"
So why would I want to start my 4th business when I have no clue what one of my major expenses will be?
You could tax everyone that makes over 250K a year 100% and it will not run the country for 7 months. That is fact.
Spending is the problem. Unfunded mandates for Medicare alone are 35 trillion for the next 30 years.
Do you really believe taxes being raised solves that?
Everytime we raise taxes government raises spending to match it.
We doubled the size of food stamps and unemployment insurance in 4 years and Obama believes that is a success story.

"Uncertainty" is a red herring. There is never certainty, about tax policy, spending policy, regulatory policy, anything. When was there ever certainty?

Reagan changed tax policy repeatedly over 8 years. He cut taxes raised taxes cut taxes raised taxes over and over again.

That is a Legislative function per The Constitution.

Revenues are the bigger problem. And one party refuses to raise them. Do you understand what Obama is proposing on taxes over $250,000?

Your tax rate would not change on the first $250,000, it would be at the Bush tax rates even for Bill Gates, and it would increase by 4.5% on anything over $250,000.

So, if you made $250,001 you would pay 4 1/2 CENTS more in taxes...

SOCIALISM!!!!

Or what? They no longer desire profit? How come I don't need to be able to predict the future for myself to desire income?

Lakhota what would you cut to balance the budget?

I would cut the defense budget in HALF.

I would allow Bush tax cuts to expire.

So otherwise stated.. you would cut extreme amounts from something the federal government is constitutionally charged to do... continue with a tax policy that is based on unequal treatment... continue to have larger numbers not contributing to the federal income tax pool.. and keep spending extraordinary amounts on entitlements the federal government is not constitutionally charged to do

Idiotic, to say the least

The Constitution charges the Congress with spending way too much on the military? Really?

Nice leap... I said extreme cuts to something that the government is constitutionally charged to do.... There is no doubt that there is fat that can be trimmed from the defense budget.. but this bozo wants a 50% cut, while not eliminating things that the government is not constitutionally charged to do... all the while keeping the mantra of unequal treatment so that 'others' can pay for things you want

The Constitution charges Congress with a lot of things.

It charges the government to do a list of SPECIFIC things.... it is not charged to be a nanny, allowance giver, etc.. then you have the 10th amendment that ensures that powers not specifically given to the federal govt are reserved for the states and/or the citizens...

I wasn't aware that the signing of tax legislation by the President had been stopped. What year was that?

Stop being an idiot. PLEASE.

Only an idiot believes that Congress has no authority to over ride a Presidential veto.

 

[Gadawg73]

GAO has it that by 2045, 33 years, that Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security will consume ONE HUNDRED PER CENT OF THE BUDGET.
So where do we cut other than the 3 fastest growing out of control expenses.

I saw a dumb ass reporter on the news last night asking Romney a question?

"So what was your objective when you were on the Board at Bain, creating jobs or making a profit?"

What OTHER motive and objective does any investor with an IQ over 42 have other than PROFIT?

America has become a nation of village idiots.

 

[Lovebears65]

Like it or not . IT is SOMETHING that has to be done. We ARE BROKE. Like NO MONEY. Like we borrow 40 cents on EVERY damn dollar.. The WELL IS DRY..

It is like a bad dream come true, Ann Romney explaining the policies that will be put in place, should her husband win the election in November. There’s going to be cuts, in programs and people won’t like it.

Why on earth would the wife of a so-called experienced businessman, who claims he has a reputation for creating jobs when in reality he outsourced them to China, be speaking to American families and digging in the knife?

Why would Ann Romney love rubbing salt in the wounds of many bankrupt Americans, many homeless Americans, the jobless, the disabled and the elderly in an almost boastful fashion say this to “you people”?

SOCIALISM!!!!

So tell us oh wise one how the 4.5 increases in the taxes income above 250K makes a dent in the debt.
Fact is those additional revenues were added up and it would take 250 years of them to balance the current 1.2 trillion dollar deficit this year.
Those extra taxes do not amount to anything to touch the 1.2 trillion a year deficit we are running.
Spending is the problem. Everytime we have raised taxes the spending goes up to spend the $.
You trust government? How stupid is that?
You trust government with that extra tax revenue. Respectfully, that is about as stupid as it gets brother. Who in government do you trust?
Please join us in the real world. QUIT GIVING THOSE FOOLS MORE $$$$$.

We have become a nation of village idiots.

Ok, so under your theory that Reagan raised taxes how come that was not enough to balance the budget then?
What happened then?
Democrats raised spending TO MATCH THOSE INCREASES every time.
Wake the fuck up dude. That is FACT.
