We have deficits because voters just like all of you vote the people out that raise their taxes and then vote the people out that cut spending on programs that you support.
Right Wingers are like spoiled little children.
You people don't want to have to pay your taxes, but you're more than happy to go fight an expensive war overseas. And God forbid anyone should mention cuts in Medicare spending.
You get the most money in federal funding, per capita, pay the least taxes, per capita, and have the most representation, per capita, and then you just complain and complain about spending and taxes. Well, here's a hint YOU'RE THE PROBLEM.
You all complain and complain about your politicians, but how do you think they got there? YOU VOTED FOR THEM. Right-wingers in general have MORE representation, per capita, than democrats, because a larger percentage of them come from smaller states.
The average person in Wyoming, for instance has 1 representative in congress for every 177,556 people (including one House epresentative and 2 Senators). While the average person in California has 1 representative in congress for every 668,303 people.
That means that every citizen of Wyoming has almost four times the representation of the average citizen of California. And Washington DC, which has more people in it than Wyoming, has no representation at all.
You complain about deficit spending and the debt, but you voted the administrations into office that CREATED ALL THE DEBT. We have 11 Trillion Dollars of debt, almost all of which was created during Republican administrations. Administrations that the majority of the people that thanked the OP for their post voted for.
And you wait until NOW to voice your "outrage"? What the hell were you all doing in 1984, 1988, 2000 and 2004? You know, the years you all voted in the people that created the debt?
Oh, that's right, you were listening to their promises about how lower taxes were the solution for all of our ills. Yeah, lower taxes, that's just workd out so well, hasn't it?
And the OP goes on and on about how congress is responsible, of course they're responsible, so here's how you fix the problem. STOP VOTING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE BEEN VOTING FOR.
It's not "Nancy Pelosi" or someone else's congressman that's the problem, it's YOUR CONGRESSMAN that's the problem.
Lower Taxes Seemed to Preceed the End of Carter/Reagan Recession and were Followed by an Economic Boom...
And that Debt... It was Reagan Spending on Military and the DemocRATS getting a Blank Check to Let him... Politics is a Bitch, ain't she.
It Certainly wasn't REPUBLICan Tax Increases that Caused the Longest Economic Expansion in History... The 90's.
A Recession that Ended in 1991 and an Expansion that Lasted until the Year of 9/11.
And of course what was the Answer to the Recession in 2001 just before 9/11?...
Didn't (43) Force Through some Tax Relief?...
And how Bad did that Recession get, even Coupled with 9/11?...
6.4% Unemployment?...
(43) Obviously Lost his Way and Barry and the DemocRAT Congress are going to and VERY MUCH ARE Turbo Charging those Errors as we Speak...
The Misery Index is Upon us.
Gone are the Days of 50 Month Expansions with 5% Unemployment.
But Keep Throwing Money at it...
I am Sure it will Work Eventually.
peace...
Since it's getting Props, I am Bumping it...
peace...
