GOP DROPS FILIBUSTER, Obama gets His budget with $1 trillion tax hike!

[Meister]

No new income taxes. Cutting of Defense. SS reform on means testing and age of retirement. 0% increase in all other budgets. Mandatory 1-day furlough for GS7 to GS16 per month.

For those that are GS7-GS16.....that's just like a new tax, fee, cut in pay....whatever you want to call it.

 

[JakeStarkey]

It's a cut in expenditures, not a tax hike.

Means testing for Social Security? That will never pass the House.

Someone that pays into the system for 45 years has a right to SS no matter what his bank account looks like.

The first time in 4 years the Democrats in the Senate actually pass a budget and the best they can do is spend more money than what they have?

Idiots.

It's very difficult running a government when more than half of it is out to nail our balls to the wall.

Democrats cannot be trusted. They have control of the media and they actually feel this gives them a license to steal. The trick is stealing it and not making it hurt too much. If anyone gets screwed too much they can always apply for food stamps till the money runs out. Imagine the whole United States being as screwed up as California or New York.

I say give the Democrats everything they want. Whatever it is, give it to them. Then when the country crashes big-time, it will be all on them. This country is so FUBAR now that no Conservative will ever be able to fix it. Better to let the Democrats finish destroying it, and then let them get booted so we can fix it.

Thing is that the democrats and the msm would be blaming the republicans and the uninformed voters would be duped once again. just sayin.....

OK, how about raising the cap to $250,000 for SS taxes coupled with Congress being unable to dump the SS taxes into the slush fund.

 

[Meister]

When at the end of the month they are $150.00 or more lighter, does it make any difference what you call it, Jake? That was my point

 

[JakeStarkey]

My point is I want to cut government expenditures. The middle and upper middle classes of federal government workers can give up some of their income.

 

[Rozman]

Their are people out there that believe that the higher we are taxed the better it will be for the country.

If anything people are clamping down on discretionary spending because they need it to pay the crippling taxes and high cost of living.

Try living in a big city these days.

NYC price of gas well over $4.00 and has been for a year.MTA raised the toll on all bridges and tunnels.Price of food is nuts.

Screw all you Libs who feel we aren't paying enough to live these days.

Raising the cap without raising the maximum benefit accordingly is just plain larceny.

I've been a proponent of hanging politicians who dip into the trust fund since Johnson.

 

[jknowgood]

pop open the champagne..

1 trillion tax hike...

It's for you own good, you know

you fail to realize the American people voted last November and already decided they did NOT agree with the republicans that taxes are a debil

Obama got relected on taxing the rich, but when everyone gets taxed your dear leaders popularity will be gone.

 

[Rozman]

Whatever happened with that genius Biden saying everyone has to get a little skin into the game?
Everyone should take a hit on raising the taxes then and every federal agency or program that spends one dollar of tax payer money takes a cut.

Everybody pays a bit more and everything takes a hit on cutting spending.

 

[Sallow]

WASHINGTON — After a grueling, all-night debate that ended close to 5 a.m., the Senate on Saturday adopted its first budget in four years, a $3.7 trillion blueprint for 2014 that would fast-track passage of tax increases, trim spending gingerly and leave the government still deeply in the debt a decade from now


Senate Passes $3.7 Trillion Budget, Its First in 4 Years

The Adults are back!!

Keep your seat. It's DOA in the House.

Doesn't matter.

It completely fucks over Boehner meme.

That, in itself, is just priceless.

It's not "we".

It's the people that believe that they can gloam off the work of others without doing a thing. Or the 1%.

Well, can they really be THAT stupid?

Socialists love high taxes......

Communists don't pay taxes.

But..we in the US do. Why? It's in the Constitution.

So you don't like taxes, Comrade? Interesting.

 

[bripat9643]

why should the gop filibuster this horrible budget..let the people see what the Democrats have in store for them, 1 trillion in new taxes and MORE SPENDING...

then why didnt they do that BEFORE the election if it woudl have worked?

becuase it would have killed them and they know it.

The election was less than 6 months ago.

Your party lost.

how often do you have to LOSE to understand you are NOT the majority?

You can't filibuster a budget. The Democrats didn't even propose one for 4 years. Only morons believe a republican filibuster is responsible.

Exactly...Budget only needs 50 yea votes... and you can't use a filibuster.
Wonder why it took the Senate so long to get one done.

And it's a $1 trillion tax hike and doesn't do a fucking thing about the debt?????
How it that even possible!

You Libs bitch and moan you don't have enough money to spend and now you get a
$1 trillion tax hike and it does nothing about the debt.

Then you are not willing to make a budget.
