I can agree with the rights idea of cutting programs to ballance our budget

[jbander]

No problem at all, I'll pick where to cut those programs. They hate our country, they hate our government and they hate democracy. Politicians are elected to decide these things. Much has to be changed but the system is doing what is paid to do, just to many haters right now but they are on the way out because of demographics .The browning of America will take care of much of our problems. They will not vote for the group that has treated them like shit for decades. They can just look in the mirror and say good bye and that's a good thing.

The first program I would eliminate is the $1.4 trillion tax expenditure program.

I'd kill it dead.

The smart move is to cut out redundant programs and programs that haven't worked for decades and programs that work against the interests of the people but democrats can't seem to figure out that concept.

Apparently, neither can Republicans since every time they control the federal government they jack up the national debt.

The Pentagon is brimming with that garbage, yet they always get more money instead of cutting the crap.

Where is the right wing advocating that?

Meaningless drivel which never provides details.

Trump told his Cabinet to cut spending by five percent.

Then he submitted a record spending bill, a trillion dollars larger than Obama's worst year of spending.

In FY2018 Trump, with the full cooperation of the Republican Congress, outspent Obama's worst year of spending by half a trillion dollars.

Trump's new goal is to beat Obama's record by a full trillion.

"Small government".

Nigga please!

Who created the 2018 & 2019 Budgets? 2018 Deficit $750b and 2019 Deficit $900b. They can never agree to Budget cuts, so IMHO we need a new Federal Sales Tax to cover expenditures.

I'll told you there is no problem cutting money distributed by the government but I get to choose. The right will always take away the money from the weak , the sick, the old , the vets the needy, teachers, government workers(they hate them) and anyone who isn't pure white.

Yup that's part of my cuts , where is the logic with the US and it's allies spending 3 out of every 4 dollars spent on the military in the world. The right isn't good with numbers though, they generally aren't very smart with numbers . They don't see the insanity in that.

Gee I guess I have to give you a history lesson, the strongest most powerful country in the world was put together from immigrants. Bigots can't grasp that.

I have two coworkers; both who retired from the government with pensions at the age of 55. If I had that ability in the private sector, I would have retired three years ago. But because I didn't work for government, I have to work 12 more years to retire.

Asking that government workers get pay (and benefits) equal to the private sector is not hate, it's equity. And WTF does the federal government have to do with teachers pay? Most teachers are funded by city or county taxpayers.

The problem with the "weak, the sick, the old" is that Democrats look to create more government dependents. The more government dependents, the more likely Democrat voters. It's not a coincidence that Commie Care created over 20 million more new government dependents, and that paled in comparison to DumBama's food stamp expansion. Together, Democrats created over 40 million more new government dependents, and they are proud as hell of it.

Yet if Republicans see these unnecessary needs and want to cut a bit, it's taking from those who need it the most.

You mean like they did in their own countries?

They will not vote for the group that has treated them like shit for decades. They can just look in the mirror and say good bye and that's a good thing.

Yes, then we can become another Socialist hellhole which is a liberals wet dream. And by treating them like shit, you mean not giving them things? Then you talk about cutting the budget? You people buy votes with taxpayer dollars, and yet you now say it's the only way of political survival.

Pensions are how we compensate Federal workers because we pay them less than the private sector

No, their pay is equal to those in the private sector. Besides the fact that benefits are much more costly than wages itself.

But even if your false claim was true, is it better to work for a dollar less an hour, retire at 55 years old, live on a pension until you're 85 years old, or is it better to make that one dollar an hour more?

I'll give you a hint: One dollar more per hour is only 40 bucks more a week, after taxes, probably closer to 35 bucks a week. What does it cost taxpayers to support a person who retired at the age of 55?

That would be supremely dumb. Federal revenue has risen substantially since the tax cuts took effect in January. Plus, the reduction in the corporate income tax and the offering of the reduced repatriated income tax has brought nearly $1 trillion in overseas American corporate money back into the country. Gee, isn't that a good thing? Furthermore, middle-income households that earn $80K per year have seen their federal income tax liability cut by at least $70 per month. Households that earn between $100K and $150K--the lower half of the third tax bracket--have seen their tax bill cut by at least $180 per month. I'm in that part of the third tax bracket, and the tax cuts have increased my monthly net pay by $220.

But you just don't care, do you? You don't care that the average corporate income tax rate in Europe and Asia is between 18% and 21%. No, you wanna jack up taxes on American companies back to 35%, just because you don't like big employers. And you wanna make millions of middle-income people lose the $80-$400 they are saving per month thanks to the tax cuts, because you want government to have that money.
