The curse of socialism…

[Rustic]

Debt is debt, Red or black there is no in between… Except for in Al Gore's lockbox

Take my word for it, Rustic.......you're an idiot.....

No, you take my word for it, YOU are the idiot!

Don't like the graph? Than show the CBO numbers, the governments own, no others. We NEVER had a balance budget under Clinton, although he did come close.

And then, forget that fantasy about what cutting taxes does. Post the CBO numbers if income to the government went up, or down after Kennedy's, Reagan, and the Bush tax cuts. Because they spent MORE has nothing to do if revenue went up, or down. If YOU get a hundred dollar a week raise, but spend 200 dollars more, of course the deficit is going to rise.

Why won't the left admit to everyone, that Washington politicians are the problem, I just don't understand their logic. And each and every time they print money, it is a hidden tax on the working man because it makes the dollars you have worth less. And who gets that money! Why Wall Street and the rich, that is who, because they have the extra money to invest in the Market, and the price of those company's and corporations inflate with every extra dollar they print. All of you who have a few thousand in the bank, lose money, each and every time they do it, and you say, "thank you sir, may I have another!"

I see that the Cavalry of Cretin has arrived...

Federal government current tax receipts: Personal current taxes


Describe what you see post 1981 and 2001....

The rest of it is naive twaddle.......Life is too short to address such....

Since before the 40s all debt... No surplus

Surplus has been demonstrated.......and existing debt is independent of the balance of any year's budget....

You simply have no idea what you are going on about...

Only with government accounting, which has never been reality.

 

[Rustic]

Trickle down never worked. Trump complained of Reagans Tax cuts, said the wealthy would rather pay capital gains tax than invest in real estate. Bush Sr , had no choice but to raise taxes.

We need a more powerful IRS, EPA, and the ACA with GOP Governors expanding Medicaid.

Socialism has been tried thousands of times, it has a 100% fail rate long-term. And no, it will not work "this time"...

Those entities you speak of are the the very definition of greed, corruption and waste fraud and abuse…

 

[Rustic]

The GOP seems to be your go to for everything. That is not going to work here. I already told you I do not support the GOP.

You are deflecting to the GOP, because you do not know how to hold your own party accountable.

My party has been totally obstructed by the totally bought off, lying, brainwashing GOP. DUH.

There is very little difference between Rs and Ds. Both are criminal gangs only interested in increasing their power and wealth. When will you learn this obvious fact?

That's why Dem billionaires want to tax the rich more...Actually, they understand a healthy middle class is needed for a great economy.

The D party and probably much of the R party, do not want a strong middle class. They know unlike you, that the middle class hates big unlimited government.

And it's the GOP under Reagan and Booosh that added the most bureaucracy and debt, while Dems add gov't SERVICE and good gov't, dupe. Thanks for the stupidest wars ever, incredible pandering to the rich and giant corps, wrecking the middle class (see sig pp1), 9/11 thru sheer incompetence, AND a corrupt world depression, and now 7 3/4 years of mindless obstruction of typical solutions. Great job, dupes.

Like usual little lemming boy is wrong...

Obama has doubled the national debt in eight years. Do you know what that means? It means no other POTUS has added more debt than Big Ears. If you don't agree with this, you have a problem accepting the truth.

Almost all of it averting ANOTHER corrupt GOP depression and helping its victims DUH.

Going in debt can never help an economy, proven by this federal government paying debt with more debt. That's called a banana republic

 

[imawhosure]

Debt is a CUMULATIVE measure, the budget is a discreet PERIODIC event...

You are nipping at Bripat's heels.......and Clementine is right on yours...

Lol, good try there Boseaphus, but you must think you are dealing with a kid. Now, you didn't accidentally pull up just PERSONAL tax receipts to the government, did you. Oh, I bet it was an accident, so here, let me help you so as you can become intelligent-)

Federal Receipt and Outlay Summary

The point is, the tax cuts were a........ready for it..........POLICY, and the revenue it created was across the board. Oh, by the way, Clinton did it to when he cut capital gains taxes. As you can plainly see, all revenue rose dramatically after the personal rate cuts, and capital gains tax cuts. You should investigate a little more, there me be hope for you yet!

Tell us where Socialism has worked a long term?

 

[francoHFW]

a) why is it that every other industrialized nation on Earth manages to deliver health care to a larger percentage of its population at a lower cost?

First off, the US population is only surpassed in population by China and India, so obviously the budget is always going to be a higher cost per percentage of population.

Healthcare does not have a one track cost. The best healthcare in the world exists in the United States, being pretty much the medical capital of the world. That means the most expensive surgeries, the highest costs for hospital care, and the largest selection of drugs at huge mark ups set by the corporations that produce them,

Relatively over 40% of healthcare costs go to seniors, so old people can stop themselves from croaking for several more years. The other 40% goes into health supply companies. (that's your corporate welfare PPACA) The rest is spread out lightly among the general population and research and development for new antibiotics and stuff.

Even though I totally oppose healthcare spending, your best bet for making it one of the best healthcare systems in the world is setting a significant spending cap on senior citizens. (stop expanding medicare Democrats) and ending corporate welfare in the health industry (never going to happen Democrats)

b) "Governments do not boost the economy. " This is ignorant codswallop......

They do not.

Would be nice to see an argument in support of your position though.

Transparent competition and gov't regulation. It's happening, dupe.

 

[francoHFW]

Well Obama only had to spend 7-8 trillion to avoid a full blown depression here. Check the effects in parts of the world who couldn't afford that...

Yes, he fixed temporary pain with long term troubles (and the puppet did not even do that)

We already expanded the artificial economy several times during the 20th century. The risk of implosion has been in steady growth.

All Obama did was make the rich richer. The stock market boomed, but over 50% of Americans are not invested in the stock market...and certainly the poor and lower middle class are not in the stock market.

If Big Ears were an R, libs and progs would be condemning him for enriching the rich while doing nothing for the poor.

JESUS CHRIST!!! GOPers blocked everything you want in this area. HELLOOOOO????

The federal government are all progressives, no one blocked shit they all spent more than what they have to spend. fact

Your ignorance is amazing.

You do realize Karl Marx popularized the term socialism? It is the revolutionary government geared towards transitioning the world into a communist utopia.

Liberal politics want to end up creating the perfect society through government. Try and differentiate the semantical differences between your definition of socialism and the communist definition of socialism...

 

[francoHFW]

From first link: (MY short list- Tax hike on bloated rich, free training/ed. for 3 million tech jobs going begging, infrastructure jobs bank, immigration bill with good SS ID card to END illegal immigration forever, living wage, tax cuts for nonrich, medicaid for poor workers in red states, etc etc)

1. Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas- A bill that would have eliminated a tax break that companies get when they ship jobs overseas. Republicans blocked this, allowing companies to keep the tax break they receive when they ship jobs to other countries.
2. Political Ad disclosure bill- Would have required all donors to political campaigns to reveal themselves. Republicans blocked this, not once but twice.
3. Subpoena Power for the Committee investigating the BP Oil Spill – Give subpoena power to the independent committee responsible for investigating BP’s roll in the oil spill. Republicans attempted to block this.
4. The Small Business Jobs Act -would give LOCAL, community banks access to billions of dollars to loan to small businesses. Republicans blocked this, then attempted to block it a second time and failed.
5. The DREAM Act- Gives immigrant youth who were brought here as children a path to citizenship by earning a college degree or serving the military for 2 years. Republicans blocked this.
6. Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”- Would have repealed the law that forces gay and lesbian services members to lie about their sexuality and gives the military the right to discharge soldiers based on their sexuality. Republicans blocked this many times and Democrats were finally able to pass it with the support of just 2 Republicans.
7. Senator Franken’s Anti-Rape Amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill – Makes it so that women raped overseas while working for foreign contractors have the right to have their case heard in an American court instead of having their case mediated by the company they work for. Only Republican men voted against this, but it passed.
8. Benefits for Homeless Veterans- Would have expanded benefits to homeless veterans and homeless veterans with children. Republicans blocked this.
9. Affordable Health Care For America Act- Prevents insurance companies from discriminating against you on the basis of “pre-existing conditions”. Requires that insurance companies spend 85 cents of every dollar that you pay on your actual health care. Limits health insurance companies profit margins. Republicans blocked this for months before it finally passed and have vowed to repeal it if they are elected.
10. Health Care for the 9/11 First Responders who got sick from being at Ground Zero- Would provide billions of dollars in health care to help the 9/11 First Responders who were at Ground Zero on 9/11 and are now sick because of it. Republicans blocked this.
11. The Jobs Bill- Offsets the payroll tax for 1 year for companies that hire new employees, or people receiving unemployment insurance. Also gives other tax incentives to companies hiring new employees. Republicans attempted to block this.
12. Wall Street Reform- Puts stricter regulations on the banks, preventing them from becoming “too big to fail”. Curbs reckless spending practices that caused the banking crisis. Republicans attempted to block this.
13. American Recovery and Reinvestment Act- Pumped billions of dollars into state and local Governments to prevent us from sinking into a second Great Depression. Republicans opposed this but now want to take credit for the parts of it that we know are successful.
14. Oil Spill Liability- Raises the liability on what companies can be made to pay to clean up after an oil spill. Republicans blocked this.
15. Immigration Reform- Republican suggested comprehensive immigration reform until Obama supported it. Now they’re rabidly opposed to it and even voted against their own legislation. Republicans blocked this.
16. Unemployment extension bill HR-4213- Would provide additional aid to the millions of Americans still on unemployment who are just trying to support themselves and their families. Republicans blocked this bill for 8 weeks before it finally passed. Republicans blocked this for 8 weeks before it finally passed.
17. Fair Pay Act of 2009- Also called the Lily Ledbetter bill. Requires that women receive equal compensation to men for doing the same work. Republicans attempted to block this.
18. No permanent military bases in Afghanistan.
19. Report identifying hybrid or electric propulsion systems and other fuel-saving technologies for incorporation into tactical motor vehicles.
20. Protection of child custody arrangements for parents who are members of the Armed Forces deployed in support of a contingency operation.
21. Improvements to Department of Defense domestic violence programs.
22. Department of Defense recognition of spouses of members of the Armed Forces.
23. Department of Defense recognition of children of members of the Armed Forces.
24. Enhancements to the Troops-to-Teachers Program.
25. Fiscal year 2011 increase in military basic pay.
26. Improving aural protection for members of the Armed Forces.
27. Comprehensive policy on neurocognitive assessment by the military health care system.
28. Authority to make excess nonlethal supplies available for domestic emergency assistance.

You do realize that it is one party rule in Washington? The progressive party

Absolute idiocy. And we STILL have reaganist tax rates that give almost all new wealth to the richest, and wreck the middle class and the country. see sig PP1.

A progressive income tax has never made a healthy country, in fact it's been all downhill since... Or I should say uphill. LOL

My party has been totally obstructed by the totally bought off, lying, brainwashing GOP. DUH.

There is very little difference between Rs and Ds. Both are criminal gangs only interested in increasing their power and wealth. When will you learn this obvious fact?

That's why Dem billionaires want to tax the rich more...Actually, they understand a healthy middle class is needed for a great economy.

The D party and probably much of the R party, do not want a strong middle class. They know unlike you, that the middle class hates big unlimited government.

And it's the GOP under Reagan and Booosh that added the most bureaucracy and debt, while Dems add gov't SERVICE and good gov't, dupe. Thanks for the stupidest wars ever, incredible pandering to the rich and giant corps, wrecking the middle class (see sig pp1), 9/11 thru sheer incompetence, AND a corrupt world depression, and now 7 3/4 years of mindless obstruction of typical solutions. Great job, dupes.

Like usual little lemming boy is wrong...

Look under Reagan and Boosh DUH. Obama is all about 7-8 trillion averting a corrupt GOP depression and helping victims DUH.
