Are you ******* kidding me? The amount of revenue lost to Bush's insane tax cuts is a chief reason our deficit became so high. I can't believe you people cannot wrap your minds around this concept. The less revenue the government has, the more it has to borrow.
That's the Liberal way of looking at things. The responsible way of doing it is not spending on things for which you shouldn't spend and don't spend more than you have. In your mind, the government shouldn't reduce wasteful spending just tax people more so they can waste more.
That government spending more than it has is why the debt is so high and why we have a deficit each year. Tell you what, if you think spending more than you have is a good idea, do it on a personal level and see how quickly you go bankrupt.
Good god dude. Yeah, the government is spending more than it has. That's because of TAX CUTS. CUTS IN REVENUE. I'm sure if I explained this to a 6 year old on the streets, he or she would understand the concept.
And im all for reducing spending waste. Our defense budget is insane. Clearly right now we don't have the revenue to pay for it.
So the government wasn't spending more than it had before the Bush cuts?
The typical defense budget cut excuse. To support and maintain a military is a delegated power of Congress. That you don't like the amount doesn't change that. Tell you what. Stop spending on social welfare programs for which nothing is said in the Constitution. We don't have the revenue to pay for such things.
Yes actually. There has been no spending growth under Obama. He was spending at the same rate Bush was. Bush's tax cuts are what fucked up the debt in both administrations.
Our defense budget is more expensive than all of our allies combined. We have useless Warcraft being churned out because republicans are stupid. We have useless bases in Europe.
So your solution to the debt is to get rid of Medicaid and Medicare huh? We should just let the poor, disabled, and senior citizens just die from no healthcare huh? Brilliant.
The debt under Obama is his, boy.
And you point about military spending is? Like I said, you argument centers around you not liking the amount. That falls under tough shit.
Medicare and Medicaid aren't the same thing. People on Medicare actually put something into the pot from which they draws. People on Medicaid don't.
If poor, etc. aren't getting what you think they need, that's on you. You think one person deserves healthcare forcibly funded by someone else. Prove to me you care by finding all the poor people you can and providing them with whatever you think they deserve. The only thing si you have to do it with your money not mine.
