WASHINGTON The boasts of Congressional Republicans about their cost-cutting victories are ringing hollow to some well-known economists, financial analysts and corporate leaders, including some Republicans, who are expressing increasing alarm over Washingtons new austerity and antitax orthodoxy.

Dems had a super majority for almost two years, junior...
Prove it.
Seriously, wtf is wrong with trying to balance our national budget.
Nothing, when the timing is right. But should one try trimming their toenails during a heart attack?
Right now government should be spending on infrastructure and JOBS.
No, we shouldn't.
Because usually those projects waste money.
Remember the 1 Trillion dollar stimulus. How many jobs did that produce?
What we need to do is rebuild our manufacturing infrastructure and get our trade policies under control. Then you can get the money to do the infrastructure stuff.
We are running huge deficits because the free traders allowed us to move all the good manufacturing jobs overseas, and we are bleeding a half trillion a year in trade to other countries.
From 1776-1976, the entire national debt was all of 600 Billion. That was it. That's what we ran up with two world wars and a few smaller ones, building the interstate highway system, the space program, the New Deal and the Great Society. We could afford all this stuff.
Because in that time period, we exported more than we imported, there was plenty of money to finance the government, and plenty of jobs to keep the tax payer to tax recipiant ratio sane.
Spending a crapload of money we don't have isn't the solution. Getting us back on track econmically is. And if that means creating jobs that aren't great initially, so be it.

Are you suggesting they didn't have a super majority until the Scott Brown election? Even after that they had it in the house and had 59 in the Senate and could have rammed through any legislation they wanted, like obamacare.....

They did not. You can't discount the blue dogs and Lieberman.

OK.....I nominate this thread as one of the most boneheaded of the year.
Nobody is blaming the GOP for the economy being so fcukked up except for the far left k00ks on the internet.
Meanwhile..................
According to Reuters, Consumer Confidence just hit a 35 year low...........or, in other words.........not since Jimmy CarterU.S. consumer sentiment grim but retail sales jump | Reuters
.......and maybe 4 economists see it getting better in the next 16 months.
Sheeeeet..........even young people are now realizing they fcukked up with this Hope and Change crap..............
I like to watch Republicans squirm when they go to those "Town Hall" meetings. Think they will cancel them for the rest of the year?
All you need to know about the fundamental problem Republicans have is that they are trying to sell cutting government spending as a jobs program,
when in fact it is just the opposite.

Yea, because healthcare for Americans is a bad thing. Just ask Paul Ryan. How's that working out for him?

Google Search: U S Tax Law
If we plan to continue on as a relatively free nation, the first priority needs to be taxes.
Congress has stepped beyond the constitution when they took upon themselves the power to tax you differently from me. There is no place for favoritism in the tax code of a democracy - favoritism breeds corruption.
Step 1. A simple and fair tax code.
Step 2. A budget that is balanced by law.
The rest will fall into place once congress returns the power stolen from the people when it stepped outside the constitution to play favorites with the tax code.
Pay for your own health care. It sells itself. There is no right to someone else paying for your care.I like to watch Republicans squirm when they go to those "Town Hall" meetings. Think they will cancel them for the rest of the year?

The budget must come secondary to taxes.
Simple Tax Code = Fair Taxes.
Fair taxes, a budget balanced by law and then build a society your children can be proud of.
Complex Tax Code = Corruption.
Right?

You didnt address healthcare, you did pay off insurance companies along with several senators etc. Result higher costs.
You were saying?
