Republicans hate Americans. They cut domestic spending by 30 percent in the bill which failed.

30% is nothing,, fed spending needs cut by at least 70%

let the states take care of their own stuff,,

GOOD! We need to get to a balanced budget. Cutting spending that is not in the Constitution is a good start.

GOOD! We need to get to a balanced budget. Cutting spending that is not in the Constitution is a good start.

I have been explaining how to easily balance the budget for well over a decade on this forum.

We just don't have politicians honest enough or brave enough to do it, and the rubes have been carefully diverted from the solutions with trannies and space lasers and pizza shops and other daily fauxrages.

All we have to do is ban all tax expenditures. That's $1.4 trillion of ANNUAL savings right there. That alone would balance the budget. Not only that, it would remove the single largest corrupt practice in government. But wait, there's more!

Eliminating tax expenditures would remove all incentives to bribe our politicians to put them in the tax code. And that is exactly why our politicians won't ban them. Those bribes are their bread and butter.

Until the American people stop focusing on BULLSHIT, they will never start holding their elected representatives' feet to the fire to get this done.


You want a surplus? That's also easy.

Raise the Medicare and Social Security eligibility ages to 70, and index the retirement age to 9 percent of the population going forward.

We are living longer than our ancestors did, we should be working longer.


But you know, taking food stamps away from the poor is far more popular with right wing simple-minded haters.

The real handouts are tax expenditures. $1.4 TRILLION of handouts every year! That's more than all welfare programs combined.

Your eye is WAY off the ball!

The real handouts are tax expenditures.

I agree.

Your eye is WAY off the ball!

Not sure how you could get that from what I said.
But go ahead and support your welfare state, leftist

I am on topic. Someone said we need a balanced budget.

I absolutely agree. But I don't just whine about it, I offer actual solutions.

Comprehension fail.

Tax expenditures ARE welfare. They are the biggest wealth redistribution program in the history of the universe, and the largest government social engineering program.

False. The bill has lots of spending cuts for key programs that Democrats don’t want to cut. But you’re pretending that this is a bill that only has a provision for the military and nothing else.

keeping more of your own money is not an expenditure,,

I understand that is how your propagandists' have framed it for you. And I understand how this would cause you and the other credulous rubes to run with that and claim Democrats hate the military.

That's to be expected when you live in a bubble the way you do.

But the Republicans are also trying to cut domestic spending by 30 percent, and THAT is why the Democrats kiboshed the bill.

NOT because they hate the military, rube.

The Republican-led House failed Friday to approve a 30-day stopgap funding bill as a government shutdown looms. All Democrats and 21 Republicans voted against the measure, which would have cut most domestic programs by 30 percent. It is unclear what House lawmakers will do next. The Democratic-majority Senate is considering a separate bill to keep the government open that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has said the House would reject. The government will shut down Sunday at 12:01 a.m. if lawmakers do not act.
