Really?Very little money from our current budget goes to social programs.

Socialist Security and MediScam? Bueller, anyone, Bueller?
Raising taxes to close the deficit never works. It has never worked in any state that tried it. All it does is produce more revenue for the gov't to spend to expand its list of goodies, which is how they keep getting re-elected.
Reagan was right: You starve gov't of revenue to keep it small. There is no other way.
Republicans introduced a national sales tax bill last year.
I agree, tax all government workers making over 100K at 100%, make all government salaries public information, force them ALL to pay into Social Security, eliminate unfunded government pension guarantees, fully tax universities as the big business they are, fully tax non-profit salaries over 100K, there's some change that should help.
Why stop there?
Lets tax the shit out of EVERY American making over $100,000. You will get a lot more money out of taxing those $20 million executive salaries than you do out of those $175,000 government executive salaries
Than will zero out our deficit tomorrow
In that do you include all athletes, media personlaities, celbrities, musicians that are striclty in it for themselves?
Or just the greedy business executives that sacrificed all they had to start a business and applied all they knew to build it up and finally are reaping the financial rewards as they employ thousands at the same time?
Some thoughts on this thread:
The conservative R's have called for cutting taxes and cutting spending since Reagan first appeared on the national scene during the primary campaign in 1976. Beginning in 1994 the R's controlled the Congress (recall the Conract with America), and with the election of Bush&Co in 2000 controlled all three branches of the Federal Government after Bush packed the supreme court with conservatives.
How well did that play out?
Clinton, with a Republican Congress was able to bring spending under control - both deserve credit. But remember, the RW of the R's attacked Clinton during his entire eight years in office.
Bush immediately cut taxes, claiming it was to fix our economy, engaged in two wars off budget and expanded the federal government beyond that of any prior administration.
Obama inherited a crisis, in foreign affairs, domestic affairs and in a house divided. For his entire first year + he has been under attack much as Clinton experience.
The RW of the Republican Party has devolved into a spiteful, ignorant and hysterical movement but its roots go back to the Whiskey Rebellion of the late 18th Century. It's time for the hateful rhetoric to stop or we my see history repeat itself; the hope of the majority of Americans is for fair treatment and a civil society - the few and the fringe seem to hope for a violent confrontation and the last time that occurred over 600,000 young Americans died, nearly 150 years ago.
Maybe some of you younger 'rebels' ought to go to the battlefields of that war, and other national cemetaries and read a few headstones. War and Rebellion are not pretty, and be well aware that those (Beck, Limbaugh, Palin, et al) will not march into battle, they will beat the drums of war from the safety of their living rooms.
I can assure you, 99% of all government workers making over 100K do not deserve it, yes. And there are millions of them across this nation.

Nobody making over $100,000 deserves it..
Right Comrade Titanic??

You didn't hear about the election of Oscama, thus you had no reason to feel depressed.We all keep forgetting how close we came to another DEPRESSION UNDER BUSH. Obama had to do something radical to get us to where we are right now......on the path to a better America. Period.
We came close to a deprerssion in recent years?
How on eartth did I miss it?
I guess the question is why does it take so many government employees to enforce the constitution?????
