Liberals Think We're Jerks For Wanting To Control Spending

It really depends on what it is. If it benefits America = leave it alone.

Infrastructure, science and investment into r&d = benefiting America.

It is a insane idea to cut those.

Why not raise taxes on the rich a little and cut welfare, waste and foreign aid?

 

[Mad Scientist]

The "Social Safety Net" is a Tax to the Bankers who set up this system of borrowing from them.

The USA went bankrupt in 1933 so the US Government set up a direct tax to the Banks and called it "Social Security" and set up this whole SS Ponzi Scheme. There is no "trust fund". The money isn't there.

SS is not mandatory and you may "opt out" of it but you will lose everything you paid into it as a result. It's just the way the law was written.

Good luck chumps and don't forget to send yer kids off to War.

Have at it boys:

Personally, I'd cut 5% from the military and place 2% of that into science and split the other 3% between the other areas.

Americans don't even know what those words mean.

Their goal is to destroy Social security destroy any protection for labor so that exploitation of the 99 percent by the one percent can accelerate...its why Conservatives are nasty...

Fine, but that saves nothing eh?

 

[ScienceRocks]

And the big picture with what can't be cut, like paying for the debt:

The funny thing is the republicans want to Cut that 1% science and that 3% transportion!!! Things that help the little guy here at home = cut!!!

Dumb.

At least it would be benefiting the American people.

Calling SS a Ponzi scheme does not make it a Ponzi scheme it just makes you sound stupid....what do you think the money should be in cash under a mattress for it to be real....in the Trust Fund are bonds that read backed by the Full Faith and Credit of the US Government...what does that mean ?


You do understand that in a real Ponzi scheme the participants are not aware their benefits are coming from new investors...SS though announced itself that way...this is known and was know by everyone ...what kind of Ponzi scheme does that ?

They take it for granted. Maybe they'll wake up if the republicans ever cut them.

Mention spending cuts or even controlling spending and it's like holding up a cross in front of a vampire. They react violently at times. Most of the time they claim that spending cuts will bring this country down.

The thing is, the only time you guys want to "cut spending' is when the other party is in the White House.

your Boy Reagan ran up more debt than the Previous 39 Presidents combined buying expensive toys for the military.

Your boy Bush took Surpluses and turned them into Trillion Dollar deficits- plus gave us wars and Recessions.

But the minute the black guy gets in, you are all for "Cutting Spending".

It is not so much that they run up spending (which they do), but they slash taxes without having reduced spending first

They firmly believe that tax cuts pay for themselves (just ask Kansas)

On Monday, President Obama released his 2016 budget, which calls for increased spending and raising taxes, and on MSNBC’s The Cycle, so-called conservative co-host Abby Huntsman did her best to scold the GOP for opposing the tax-and-spend Obama budget. ​

Speaking to Lauren Fox of National Journal, Huntsman proclaimed that Republicans’ “big thing is we’ve got to cut spending, this is not something we’re going to approve and that’s often why they are considered the jerks here, because they aren’t talking about entitlements, they are talking about cuts.” ​

Think of it. In only a few years since Obama has become president, we've gone from clamoring for spending reform to you're a terrorist for wanting to control government spending.

Anyone with half a brain can see one of the biggest problems in government isn't that we don't have any money, it's that we spend too much. So Democrats invented a word for it to demonize the practice. Austerity. Anyone who starts talking about Austerity and recommending new investment is just pumping us for more tax increases. That's really all Democrats do. They try to think of new ways of taking our cash. Spending is now investment. Controlling spending is evil austerity. Anyone who falls for this line of bs can't be thinking. The answer to everything in Washington is always throwing more money at it, yet the problems never get solved. Obama wants to give the IRS $30 billion more to become more and more inefficient. Seems the more money he throws at a problem the worse it becomes. The IRS has massively increase their budget, hired thousands of new agents, yet if you have a question about your taxes, forget getting an answer. They warn about holding up refunds this year because they claim they need more money.

Notice how everything Obama touches turns to shit?




Remember this?

June 2013

Still mired in scandal for its mishandling of nonprofit political groups, the Internal Revenue Service is prepping for a new role: chief enforcement arm of the Affordable Care Act.

That task will require new agents — 6,700, the IRS figures — and more money — about $1 billion more than the current budget.

Confronted with the tax agency’s 9-percent increase in its 2014 budget, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., blasted Deputy IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel at a meeting of the House Committee on Ways and Means Thursday morning.

After reading off a long list of instances of waste, fraud, excess and abuse at the agency over the past several years, Ryan demanded to know how the IRS felt it had the “moral authority” to ask for more money. He actually sounded almost hurt by the request.​

Republicans don't want to cut spending. They want to shift spending out of social programs and into defense.

Nope. But thanks for playing.

Provide a link for that and we'll discuss.

Provide a link to the Republicans in the last election who ran on cutting defense.

that makes no sense at all. Why would anyone in their right mind cut defense with all of the new threats we have today.

ISIS taking Northern Iraq
Russian aggression
Chinese expansion
Al Qaeda is growing again
Talliban is growing

See? At least you admit I was right.

You apparently don't know what a bad road or an unsafe bridge is.

Good idea. Let's do away with all spending and all taxes. Privatize everything including the military. If you're really serious about what you're asking this makes perfect sense. I say put your mouth where you're money is.

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

What if the privatized military attacks us ...what we get another subcontractor....?

 

[Manonthestreet]

Post full of lib talking points...what did you expect

I think we will just have to give them a "big" pay raise. Some might call it a "bribe" not to attack us. I think the warlords in Somalia have a similar setup. Private military for the warlords. Oh great.

So do the math then? I posted the links.

 

[Manonthestreet]

So audit every dept first and find out where the money is going...and how much is outright fraud and waste. We are running record receipts and somehow never catch up and its not because of defense which is shrinking as a % then when we do give you ideas to cut there why nothing happens....those are the things that become sacrosanct in defense. LCS should have been stopped as should F-35. Rumsfeld ended couple weapons systems lives.
