Obama's Speech Today Was SPOT ON!!

[rightwinger]

The debt is too large for gimmicks

ALL Areas must be up for scrutiny including taxes, social security, the military, entitlements.....

GOP wants to balance the budget on Medicare, Planned Parenthood and Public TV

All areas are up for scrutiny.

Obama is offering $3 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax increases. The debt is too large to handle by spending cuts alone.

The role of our Military needs to be examined. Not just killing weapons systems that aren't popular. Our whole global mission and what other major players contribute needs to be modified. The US does not need to protect the world

How about we roll back the level of government spending to 2008 before the Stimulus Bill? That would cut $800B immediately.

We're NOT going to tax those of us who are most vulnerable and are going to ask those of us who have PROFITED the most from the system to PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

It's all about SHARED SACRIFICE.

Remember that Republicans?

Kudos Obama...way to win back your support.

Getting rid of the Bush tax cuts would go a long way to solving our problems.

George Bush was the worst president in American history.

This thread clearly illuminates the reason why this country is sinking in debt up to its eyeballs. Currently the USA is being smothered in 14 trillion dollars in debt. In his speech today the President declared that soon this country would be paying over 1 trillion dollars for just the interest that we owe on the money that we've spent. The pinhead in chief's solution is to spend more money. He wants to borrow more money, and he wants to consume all the wealth in this country so that job creation will come to a screeching halt. Yes sir. The President's speech today was right on target. His target is the bankruptcy of this country. Good job komrad mr. president. Your handlers would be very proud of you.

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING TO RW? OBAMA HAS NOT TRIED TO CUT MILITARY SPENDING AT ALL. You keep running off Obama's 2008 platform, now it's Obama that starts wars and expands them, with his Dem congress.

Most of us "conservatives" here are fine with huge military cuts, we want that. YOU and many "liberals" ONLY want military cuts is the issue.

Representatives are supposed to be representing the people right? Guess what the people want?

Most Americans say tax rich to balance budget

Let's try for Eisenhower tax rates and then bargain down to Reagan tax rates.

Seriously? Do you not understand how a representative government works? Just because people "want" something doesn't give them the right to it. I want free titty and beer everyday at lunch. Hell, I would fancy a guess that most guys would too. Doesn't mean the gubmint can do it. By what right do YOU or anyone else who "wants" it have to confiscate that which is the possession of someone else? Why are you entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor?

Maybe this will drive the point home to you a little better. How many bedrooms do you have in your home? Are any not in use? If they aren't, hows about you hop in the car, drive over to the homeless shelter, pick up a homeless person and move them into your house? I mean hell, you have more than you need. Spread it around. Share the sacrifice.

Notice when the leachy left talks about paying taxes it's always "paying their fair share"?

Its never "paying my fair share."

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Just more sad Community Organizer Divide & Conquer demagoguery. Gotta get those "Evil Rich People!!" Unfortunately there are Millions of Dummies who buy into that stuff. It's very depressing.

No, not really. Just for wingnuts like yourself he is.

Dan Mitchell nails it SPOT ON:

Called a “debt failsafe trigger,” Obama’s scheme would automatically raise taxes if politicians spend too much. According to the talking points distributed by the White House, the automatic tax increase would take effect “if, by 2014, the projected ratio of debt-to-GDP is not stabilized and declining toward the end of the decade.”

Let’s ponder what this means. If politicians in Washington spend too much and cause more red ink, which happens on a routine basis, Obama wants a provision that automatically would raise taxes on the American people.

In other words, they play and we pay. The last thing we need is a perverse incentive for even more reckless spending from Washington.

Great idea....and we could roll taxes back to where they were in 2001. That would save $2 trillion off the national debt

That isn't a true statement Chris. During President Bush's tenure the title of America's worst President was held by Jimmy Carter. After Obama's election he bumped Carter down to second place. Now Obama bin Lyin is hands down the worst President in the history of the United States of America. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to set the record straight.

Wrong.

The reason this country has a large National Debt is because Reagan and the two Bushes lowered taxes for the rich. Reagan's own budget director, David Stockman, said the tax cuts were a "trojan horse" to lower taxes for the rich.

You bet, it's impossible to cut enough to balance the budget.
A family can cut and cut, but eventually needs a pay raise.

A family doesn't get paid as percentage of the business' income. You need to educate yourself as to the way taxation works. In your world it's 30% today... 50% tomorrow.... 70% after that.... eventually ending up at 100%.

That's just plain stupid.

Can somebody tell me what sacrifice those who pay ZERO in FEDeral Income Tax are making???? What??? What is "shared sacrifice."?
