Unproductive people on welfare sure as Hell aren't growing anything.No intelligent conservative thinks cutting alone works.
Idiot.
So how, specifically, would the 'intelligent' conservative balance the budget from where it is right now, i.e.,
we're borrowing 40% of what we're spending.
Let's hear the high IQ genius conservative plan on that, in detail.
Grow the economy, you idiot. More revenue coming without a tax hike, less expenditures going out. I tried to dumb it down for ya.
Cutting government spending WILL also decrease overall economic activity.
On that point he is absolutely right.

A lot of that depends on where and how you cut not to mention where you can shift some of the funds to after cutting other, more wasteful spending.
So let's say you trim the military budget, just in one area, as one example, by ending or canceling a weapons program.
You save billions of dollars. But, say, a thousand people are now out of work because that was their job, building those weapons.
Where do they go to work? How did you grow the economy by cutting spending?
On the other hand, we could eliminate the war on drugs, the various programs that buy military grade weapons and vehicles for small towns, and stop buying ice shavers for people that don't ask for them, or even the ones that do. Or did you assume that the entire defense budget goes to the military?
No more than removing a leech from your neck will reduce overall blood circulation.Cutting government spending WILL also decrease overall economic activity.
On that point he is absolutely right.

Then we go back to the spending levels under Clintoon, which includes repealing Obunglercare, Medicare D, DHS, TSA, NCLB, etcetera.OKNo intelligent conservative thinks cutting alone works.
Idiot.
OK. Then we re-instate the complete tax schedule that we had under Clinton, plus a surtax on incomes above 1,000,000. We raise the tax on unearned income to equal that of earned income, giving the average working stiff equal footing with the very wealthy.

Now that is a reasonable schedule to start with, and then we can consider cuts. Cuts like holding our military spending to a level equal to the military spending of the next seven highest spending countries. Go to a full Universal Health Care System. That would eliminate both MediCare and Mediaid. And lower our per citizen cost to that of other industrial nations. Maybe even bring our results up to match theirs, instead of matching third world nations.
Yeah...And notice his "solution" consists of raising taxes and increasing spending and bureaucracy....Like that has any chance of working.OKNo intelligent conservative thinks cutting alone works.

You have no idea what damage a UHC would do to this country... or maybe you just don't care.
