I think we need to talk both at the same time.
Revenue takes care of itself. In fact, from 2002-2008 we had RECORD revenue, expressed as both real dollars and as percentage of the GDP, which also ran its highest ever, during that same time period. The budget deficit was actually going down, not up.I think we need to talk both at the same time.
That's never worked, anywhere or any time it's been tried. It is a failed policy.Switch to a single-payer system so that the costs of health care drop. That's two for starters.
You don't understand the difference between the annual budget and the long term debt.it takes up more than 20% of our budget.
Defense spending is an obvious choice since it takes up more than 20% of our budget. Switch to a single-payer system so that the costs of health care drop. That's two for starters.
It's the obvious choice because you're a liberoidal....Start naming some non-military programs that need to be cut or dropped altogether.Defense spending is an obvious choice since it takes up more than 20% of our budget.
Name the first thing that the feds involved themselves where the costs were contained, let alone brought down.....Just one.Switch to a single-payer system so that the costs of health care drop.

Ryan's budget does cut defense spending, by the way. Why don't you take some time to read it.
I can.... But it was profitable, so Bill Clinton had to kill it.Name the first thing that the feds involved themselves where the costs were contained, let alone brought down.....Just one.
Which takes nothing at all away from the facts I gave you. The deficit was DROPPING before the "crash."The jobs aren't there, Midnight. Where would you suggest they work?
Revenues may have risen during that time period, but so did expenditures. Did spending outstrip revenues?
By the way, the deficit actually increased by $1 trillion in 2008.
And they won't be coming back, under this uncertain direction coming from this White House. Companies large and small are hoarding capital right now, and I don't blame them one little bit.The jobs aren't there, Midnight.
And Bam-Bam managed to quadruple it in 5 short months......The jobs aren't there, Midnight. Where would you suggest they work?

Actually, I do understand the budget. Do you?
Canada has an excellent health care systems. In most cases, my Canadian friends got treatment for their life-threatening illnesses much quicker than I got mine. And I have top-notch health insurance. Their system WORKS.
Yes, taxes would go up for everyone under single payer. I did a comparison of Canadian federal and provincial taxes, including their sales taxes, to what I pay here. TO make it apples to apples, I had to include my health insurance premiums. I would end up slightly better in Canada.
By the way, I'm not a "liberoidal," I'm a registered Republican.

It's just nine pages.... Shouldn't "tax" you too much.Sorry, whore-teaser, I don't read anything from a partisan website, left or right.
Midnight - Yes, I do need to read the Ryan budget rather than just the CBO score.
