We know that Obama's 1st budget got shot down in the Senate with no votes at all for it. He has not put forth another one, nor has the dems inthe House or the Senate to compare with the House budget. They talk about reducing spending, how are they planning to do that? What do they think can be cut? And what kind of leadership doesn't put up an alternative budget? That's lame guys, really lame.
What spending cuts are the dems willing to make?
Cut tax breaks to billionaires for one.
Second, stop taking money from Blue States and giving it to Red States. It's not our fault that Republicans, Rednecks and Conservatives are the laziest people on earth and don't know anything about money. It's not our fault and I'm sick and tired of seeing my tax money fund those people who keep threatening to secede. Let them. Good riddance.

So the dem position is to cut defense spending and raise taxes on the rich and corporations.

What Democratic proposals have been made to do that?
What tax breaks do billionaires get?

Sounds good. Can we eliminate the CIA now that we have the Department of Homeland Security?
Not to be rude, but instead of PT can domestically stationed troops do highway department work or something so we can get more value out of them?
Again, I have much respect for our military men but like the Roman and British Empire, the size and quality of our military is somehow supported by and fixed to our GDP.
Cut spending?
First thing is to put teeth into fraud laws on medicare and such.
Make the finiancial fine for medicare, etc fraud to be 200% of the wamount that the govt was defrauded. No more of this just a cost of doing business.
Cut off 25% of foreign military bases.
Cut off all corporate welfare. Including farm subsidies and such.
Pull troops from Afganistan and Iraq.
Reduce sixe of military by 25%. We would still be the worlds largest in terms of spending.
Increase benefits age for SS benefits and raise the withholding. Also do not allow any surplus to be spent.
Allow Medicare Pard D to bargain for prescription drug prices even going out of country to obtain cheaper drugs.
Make gas tax a percentage of gas price not a flat per gal tax to enable the tax to provide for road upkeep.
Pass a flat income tax on ALL personal income with no deductions.
Yes this went beyond cuts but more than just cuts is needed.

Almost all of this is raising taxes and cutting defense. Very little of it is actually feasible, politically speaking. I like the idea of the flat tax with no deductions and getting tougher on medicare cheats.
