Lesson # 1:

* U.S. Tax revenue: $ 2,170,000,000,000
* Fed budget: $ 3,820,000,000,000
* New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
* National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
* Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000

* A nnual family income: $ 21,700.
* Money the family spent: $ 38,200.
* New debt on the credit card: $ 16,500.
* Outstanding on the credit card: $142,710.

And then the Democrat father goes to his boss, demands a $800 a year raise and says that the family doesn't need to cut spending now.

Bush was a Progressive, Liberals hated him because he was a Republican and white, in that order.
Obama is a Progressive and liberals love him because he is black and a Democrat, in that order.

I think the point is to show in a more simple number solution how meaningless the "cuts" are... Not actually to look at it as if it were a family. If you really brought in 21k a year and were 140k in debt you're life is pretty much over.

it would take 370 years to balance the budget if every year you cut another 385$ while never ever spending a cent more than 142k a year. In fact. we're not looking at interest, that is prolly climbing faster than the cuts total. Likewise this is the same issue with "raising taxes on the rich." It wouldn't even come close to solving the problem. To be honest the worst thing that can happen to Obama is he gets hit tax increase because the following year people will see how poor the math is and wonder how they didn't see Obama for a fucking idiot while all of "us" sit back wondering how the voters who supported Obama didn't see themselves as fucking idiots.

And no, Mitt Romney was not the answer, he was Obama-lite.

 

[Avorysuds]

Yeah, if I'm correct the intrest alone would far far far outpace the "savings" in spending cuts. Same applies to new tax revenue from taxing the rich.

Grats, Progressives fail at basic math.... again.

You forgot one other thing.

Government: We were going to spend $4.5 billion on a new aircraft carrier, but we cut that from the budget so we "saved" $4.5 billion dollars.
Family Household: We were going to spend $45k on a new car, but we decided to not buy a new car, but we don't have an extra $45k in the savings account.

The way government defines "saving money" or "cutting the budget" is pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, but the proposed tax increases won't do anything to solve the deficit problems, nonetheless the debt.

i think pretending that our federal government's budget is akin to a family or business budget is about as moronic as it gets.

it won't? how do you think those things get paid. by wishing?

or should we starve the government until it can be drowned in a bathtub?

if they hate the government, they shouldn't work for the government... it's like being a museum curator when you hate museums.

Jill! Hey buddy! Can you update us all on how much taxes will go up for the 1% and how much revenue it will yield? Then tell us of that revenue how much will go towards the annual deficit.

Oh I can’t wait to see how “things are paid for!” Lol, this will be great!

Thanks Jill!

They have not been voted out of power.

There is more than one office in Government.

In case you missed it, the Republicans won a lot of elections too. Enough to hold onto power in the House.

The President is NOT king and the Speaker of the House is every bit as powerful as the President. So much so, that the office is third in line should something happen to the President and Vice President.

Get off this "He won so you have to give up your principles" crap.

Learn you basic government.
