Liberals Think We're Jerks For Wanting To Control Spending

Spending can be cut, start with the DOD. It's not the cutting, it's what you want to cut. The Fed budget is roughly 3,500 billion. Find that cash and tell us how much you are going to save?

And you can also grow the economy and raise taxes. You are off and running.

The purpose of increasing taxes is? Why is it that you lefties cannot get out of bed in the morning without thinking up a new method of confiscation?
I ask because it is your side that never sees a tax increase it doesn't like.
The truth is the majority of discretionary federal spending is money thrown down a rat hole. And no one seems to want to punish or even question the throwers

BTW, without a strong and ready military, we don't get to have the freedom to discuss these things.
Oh and do you know the initial net effects of cuts in military spending?
The answer is....The private sector takes the first and ultimately the largest hit.
Most of the workers are defacto federal employees. A most favored constituency of the political left.
Sort of leaves you with a conundrum.
It will be free entertainment seeing you try to worm your way out of this one.
Come on paint boy...Show us something clever.

Mention spending cuts or even controlling spending and it's like holding up a cross in front of a vampire. They react violently at times. Most of the time they claim that spending cuts will bring this country down.

On Monday, President Obama released his 2016 budget, which calls for increased spending and raising taxes, and on MSNBC’s The Cycle, so-called conservative co-host Abby Huntsman did her best to scold the GOP for opposing the tax-and-spend Obama budget.

Speaking to Lauren Fox of National Journal, Huntsman proclaimed that Republicans’ “big thing is we’ve got to cut spending, this is not something we’re going to approve and that’s often why they are considered the jerks here, because they aren’t talking about entitlements, they are talking about cuts.”

Think of it. In only a few years since Obama has become president, we've gone from clamoring for spending reform to you're a terrorist for wanting to control government spending.

Anyone with half a brain can see one of the biggest problems in government isn't that we don't have any money, it's that we spend too much. So Democrats invented a word for it to demonize the practice. Austerity. Anyone who starts talking about Austerity and recommending new investment is just pumping us for more tax increases. That's really all Democrats do. They try to think of new ways of taking our cash. Spending is now investment. Controlling spending is evil austerity. Anyone who falls for this line of bs can't be thinking. The answer to everything in Washington is always throwing more money at it, yet the problems never get solved. Obama wants to give the IRS $30 billion more to become more and more inefficient. Seems the more money he throws at a problem the worse it becomes. The IRS has massively increase their budget, hired thousands of new agents, yet if you have a question about your taxes, forget getting an answer. They warn about holding up refunds this year because they claim they need more money.

Notice how everything Obama touches turns to shit?




Remember this?

June 2013
Still mired in scandal for its mishandling of nonprofit political groups, the Internal Revenue Service is prepping for a new role: chief enforcement arm of the Affordable Care Act.

That task will require new agents — 6,700, the IRS figures — and more money — about $1 billion more than the current budget.

Confronted with the tax agency’s 9-percent increase in its 2014 budget, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., blasted Deputy IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel at a meeting of the House Committee on Ways and Means Thursday morning.

After reading off a long list of instances of waste, fraud, excess and abuse at the agency over the past several years, Ryan demanded to know how the IRS felt it had the “moral authority” to ask for more money. He actually sounded almost hurt by the request.

Republicans don't want to cut spending. They want to shift spending out of social programs and into defense.
Nope. But thanks for playing.

Provide a link for that and we'll discuss.

Provide a link to the Republicans in the last election who ran on cutting defense.

that makes no sense at all. Why would anyone in their right mind cut defense with all of the new threats we have today.

ISIS taking Northern Iraq
Russian aggression
Chinese expansion
Al Qaeda is growing again
Talliban is growing

ISIS is nowhere near the supposed threat that Iraq was.
Russian Aggression in 2015 is a tenth what it was in 1980
Chinese Expansion is about the same as it always was
Al Queda is decimated as is the Taliban. It's growth is of little concern.

See? At least you admit I was right.
Wrong. You said they wanted to increase defense spending. I argued that defense cuts now is simply irrational.
 
And the big picture with what can't be cut, like paying for the debt:
presidents-proposed-total-spending.png
Genius......You cannot discuss paying down debt when YOU are the cause of the debt.
the only way this gets fixed is to put an end to baseline budgeting and automatic yearly spending increases.
I'm still waiting to hear what you would cut, how much it would save us, and when you think we should start actually paying our bills?
 
Could have been paying them down under Obama if the spending had nt shot up so fast........record receipts
 
There should not be any scared cows when it comes to getting our fiscal house in order. Any plans that do not trim our defense budget and the social safety net are not serious attempts to get our spending under control. The idea that one solely needs to get cut while the other remains untouched is nonsense and fiscally imprudent.

Rand Paul might support cuts but not now. Too many threats.
