Total spending 2007
2.7 trillion
2007 United States federal budget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Total spending 2011
3.4 trilliom
2011 United States federal budget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am confused
What is it that taxing the rich is suppose to do?
Where spending 700 billion dollars more than we were in 2007
We had a 163 billion dollar defict in 07 with a 5% UE
1.5 in 2011 with a "9%" (well kind of)
Now if we are to tax the rich to balance the budget (not even close), well what is this suppose to do?
By growing the size of govt 700 billion dollars, what has it done for us is my question.
looks like to me job creation is the key.
It also looks like to me that taxing the rich will not help us
I think your message and reality are not riding in the same boat
