Fence-sitters just means unbiased observers.
Looking at Republicans, their tax cuts exploded the Deficit and Debt. Totally irresponsible.
Looking at democrats, they spend wayyyyyyy too much on everything. Totally irresponsible.
Both parties suck.
1. Should the president have a "line item veto"? So he could strike out unnecessary political largess.A rather generic list of general nature.
Specifics, line itemized, etc. would be more useful.
Remember that inflation is a factor here as well. When I was a teen back in the 1960s a candy bar was a nickel or a dime, now the same ones are close to two dollars, and a bit smaller in size.

2. Maybe there are AI programs (or another Grace Commission) that can be used to advantage to reduce spending. Otherwise Congress will just do 1% budget cuts which is too slow. (I'm no budget expert, but I know we need spending cuts)
This administration has canceled some student loan debts and threatens to cancel more of same.View attachment 880200
The 70's and 80's were kinda ok for debt. But if you sit back and watch the scrabbling crowd defend their party, what the opposite party did was so bad, their own party didn't reverse it. So for example, if the tax reduction was so bad in the last administration, has this administration reversed it? So it doesn't matter who's in, they're as bad as each other, they're just in for the money.
If more than one percent of "we the people" got involved locally in the political party of their choice and did something about the choices of who is running for office, and helped then get elected, then more progress would be made.1. We tried that and SCOTUS said it was unconstitutional.
2. You are correct, 1% is not enough, but it would be a step in the right direction, but instead both parties just keep adding more and more and never cutting overall spending.
and "we the people" keep voting for them and then whining about what they are doing.

99% of "we the people" think all they need to do is vote, every now and then, and often using the coin toss method of selection. That don't work and is piss poor citizenship.
Sad truth is "we" get the Guv'mint "we" deserve because too many of "us" are too lazy to do more than just vote.

I'd suggest you read posts #128 and #137, and ponder.Honestly in my opinion, the "toss the coin" method would be far better than the blind partisan loyalty we have now. Partisanship is killing our country.
Indeed we do have the Govt we deserve.
Who would vote for me? You are all consumed by lo2e and voting for bad candidates out fear.If you are so smarter than either of them, you should run for office.
Well, if the current administration doesn't reverse the tax cuts, then writes off student loans, they've just compounded the problem, yet they feel the last administration was costly/wrong? It begs the question, who's the brains behind the current administration!This administration has canceled some student loan debts and threatens to cancel more of same.
That is a rip off to the investors and taxpayers whom provided the funding in the first place. Typical Democrat policy to steal from one to give to another.
Everybody is "in it for the money". Problem is too many, most citizens included, want somebody else's money rather than make their own.
One classic fail is the whine that the businesses and corporations should pay more taxes.
1. They will usually pass those taxes on to the consumer/customer via increased cost of their goods/services.
2. Investors also pay the costs. If you have an IRA, 401K, pension plan (such as through a union/work), or retirement investments those are usually invested into stocks and bonds issued by private corporations. If the businesses don't make profit, don't grow, or fail(go out of business) than the investors lose.
It's usually those whom aren't invested in anything, or don't understand economics, whom think that taxing the business, or "the rich" won't have negative economic consequences.
My skills are highly valued and well paid for as a corporate executive. The republicans want me to pay less and keep more of my money at the expense of average and below average Americans like you. Lets just be clear about that.And you support the filthy Dems whom are the party of wealth redistribution, taking from those who produce and create wealth to give away to parasitic non-producers like yourself. Dems have become criminals seeking to legalize their crimes.
Huh... does your board know you spend all your time wanking off on a political message board?My skills are highly valued and well paid for as a corporate executive.
My board only cares about the record results we deliver and not what I’m doing while sitting in a ski lodge in Utah on vacation.Huh... does your board know you spend all your time wanking off on a political message board?
Suckers.My board only cares about the record results we deliver and not what I’m doing while sitting in a ski lodge in Utah on vacation.
The basic problem is there no accountability for elected officials.I am beginning to think so. Democrats are this side of Demonic, and Republicans are just a side show if not secretly part of the corruption. Both parties need a major overhaul, but WHO is going to do this? We voters? The Military? WHO is going to fix the obviously broken political system?

Is this the part where you claim to be an extremely high quality wealthy positive contributor?My board only cares about the record results we deliver and not what I’m doing while sitting in a ski lodge in Utah on vacation.
It's very simple. All we have to do is stop voting for them.I am beginning to think so. Democrats are this side of Demonic, and Republicans are just a side show if not secretly part of the corruption. Both parties need a major overhaul, but WHO is going to do this? We voters?

AGREE PARTISANSHIP IS KILLING USHonestly in my opinion, the "toss the coin" method would be far better than the blind partisan loyalty we have now. Partisanship is killing our country.

You're an imaginative liar.My skills are highly valued and well paid for as a corporate executive. The republicans want me to pay less and keep more of my money at the expense of average and below average Americans like you. Lets just be clear about that.
