Levin: Let The Whole Damn Thing Collapse

[Revere]

The agencies' budgets include their respective pension outlays; Therefore the ~$600B I cited includes those amounts.

Maybe I admit it's a problem, maybe not. But first we have to agree on the numbers. I really feel we can't go on any further if we can't. And I hope we do. This will be a nice debate if it stays friendly and we .

I thought we were told that just a few years ago the Clinton administration had a surplus.... yet now we are being told that we can't get that back without major tax increases? After all the added spending that the Bush and Obama administrations have already made? We can't do it? There's some BS in there somewhere.

According to GAO, to grow out of the problem would require double-digit GDP growth for the next 75 years.

According to Ben Bernanke in April of this year:

Unfortunately, we cannot grow our way out of this problem. No credible forecast suggests that future rates of growth of the U.S. economy will be sufficient to close these deficits without significant changes to our fiscal policies.

Also, nobody's calling for major tax increases - The only thing that was ever on the table by anyone this year was a 4.6% increase on wage earners making over $250k - And only on those wages above $250k.

I'm not saying it can't be both. But whatever it is, it's got to be sane and reside somewhere near the real world. Blind ideology does not solve problems, no matter how aggressive its proponents.

There was never any consideration of those tax increases being accompanied by any real spending cuts "on the table."

It isn't blind ideology to expect that the government cut itself as they expect Families to do.

It's the prudent thing to do.

Then tell me what you want to cut. "Entitlements" is not an answer. I need program names. You are $1.2T from a balanced budget.

Roll back spending to 2008 levels. All of it.

You mean raising taxes is prudent and targeted, but real cuts in spending are "blind ideology?"

The Omnibus bill looks like it might crash.....
Will go to sleep tonight and before I'm out will ask for Santa to make it so.

 

[The T]

Roll back spending to 2008 levels. All of it.

And then freeze it. Forbid any further spending until the Congress gets to the point where ALL spending must be justified by merits and NO riders attached.

And that means new rules for the Congress.

The foot-loose and Fancy-Free days are gone. We are BROKE.
