Obama: Not Raising Taxes is a Form of Government Spending

Taking it off the top in revenue or off the bottom in spending makes no difference to the deficit, it differs only symbolically to republicans as they are pathologically unwilling to reduce the deficit with any kind of taxation at all.

Wrong, they offered 400 billion in new taxes, the Democrats refused because it would have required cuts to match. What you mean to say is the Democrats refuse to cut anything.

They have cut a lot but there is only so much you can do with discretionary spending, No way to cut our way out of debt with that alone, there has to be some new revenue from somewhere to replace all they have allowed people to keep instead of paying in. Not familiar with the offer you are talking about but any offer of a tax hike by republicans is just a scheme to shift the tax burden further downward.

Super committee the Republicans made the offer the dems refused. SO you are gonna claim that the paltry 30 billion cut the dems agreed to is all we can cut? And that 400 billion in new revenue is chicken feed?

Can we say PARTISAN HACK?
 
Keeping taxes low when they are due be raised and tax cuts are spending. They have the exact same effect on the bottom line as spending money, you thought otherwise?

It doesn't have the same effect on the taxpayer, you blithering idiot. The next time you have more money in your check after the government raises taxes, please let us know. We'd all love to marvel at such a miracle.
 
It's true, because if tax cuts aren't accompanied by spending cuts, the lost revenue that would have paid for the spending is made up for by borrowing.


It's still not true. A tax cut is or a failure to increase taxes is not a spending increase. That argument is the sleaziest brand of demagoguery.
 
The thing is, the money does not belong to the government. It belongs to the people. The government takes money from people to do important and useful stuff, but the money left in their pockets in no way counts as spending by the government

It just appears that way to the useless ticks on the ass of society.

When we are talking about the budget deficit specifically, when the government acts to cut taxes that would have otherwise been paid, it is spending. It's like taking an unpaid day off work, it still costs.


In other words, if you ignore any facts that invalidate your claim, then it's valid.

That's the kind of "logic" we've come to expect from libturds.
