Rebublicans advocate massive budget cuts!

[Sail Away]

The Democrats are at $26B and the Republicans are $100B. There must be compromise. I say split the difference with no exclusions and get on with the business of governing. That's a 3.3% across the board cut. I have never seen a business or governmental body that couldn't absorb 3.3% cut.

Even the 100 Billion will not solve the problem, it is only a start.

I read in the paper today that the GOP has given up (already) on the $100 billion for FY 2011. The new target number? Thir-ty......bil-lion.....dollars!!! That's right folks, $30 billion or ONE THIRTIETH of the projected 2011 budget DEFICIT. Holly smokes, what a cutting extravaganza! Of course the article confirmed that no cuts will come from the pentagon, security, policing, spying, war, (non-existent) terrorist defense. The cuts will probably come from silly agencies like education and health/human resources.

Judging America based on what he sees in Las Vegas?

He might as well judge us based on what he sees in Disneyland

Historically Germany has always been the best place in the world to live, why would it be any different today. I am sure in Germany they do not have as many Mexican or Blacks, most likely this did not even occur to the German as he answered. Of course this German would not be able to live where he was born had it not been for the United States in the first place, hell, Germans are lucky Americans never treated Germans like every other country has treated the losers of war.

You know Europe still owes the USA billions of dollars, hundreds of billions. Its easy to enjoy you life in another country when all that is yours has been given by the USA.

Actually I read an article a few years ago that Germany made it's last war reparations payment to the UK and US.

Republicans advocate massive spending cuts in discretionary spending. They intend to a initiate a massive $100 Billion (1/15 of the projected 2011 deficit) from the annual budget. These draconian cuts will occur in all Federal agencies EXCEPT for; military, security, policing, DOJ (prisons), in-house spying (3,984 federal, state and local organization), contractor spying (923 contract agencies), Homeland Security, ATF, DEA, National Guard and military funding to other nations.

IF the Republicans were to eliminate Dept. of Education and Health and Human Services they would come close to their $100 goal. Go Republicans! Go Congress! Go USA!

Here is a novel idea: let's stop dropping bombs, waging wars, financing wars, spying, imprisoning (victimless crime), indicting, arresting, killing, harassing and financially exploiting. Let's take all that money, from those activities, and use it to invest in US human capital. Once we've made that investment, more people can work and pay more taxes. Once they pay more taxes we can pay down public debt.

Is this really such a difficult idea for Americans to comprehend? The Chinese and Indians understand it very well. The don't even have aircraft carriers yet. But India educates 7 engineers for every 1 US engineer and Chiba educated 10 engineers for every 1 US engineer. Engineers are primary discipline for innovation, a major economic driver.

This concept is how smart countries manipulate their economies. This is the premise that Merkel (Germany) noted while walking out on Obama (at the Toronto G20), stating 'people will have confidence in their economy when the have confidence in their own government' (Obama was advocating the same old fear-mongering rhetoric)

It is difficult for me to grasp the collective ignorance of the general US population.

Yet, today, China needs engineers of the USA, its true, they not only need them they are offering massive amounts of money to any US engineer willing to work in China.

China can make one hundred knives, China could make a million knives, but which knife would you trust your life with, one made in the USA or China, its kinda like the difference between Craftsman tools and Snap on tools. Both are good, but if your forty feet above the ground, working on a valve, your going to pay the extry hundred dollars for the Snap On Rachet, one mistake, one broken ratcher and your dead. At least that is how it was when I worked in the Rock Quarry.

Point being, China is using the USA, they are not outperforming us nor creating more, and better engineers, at this point, China is begging U.S. engineers to come to China.

Chinese or Indian education over a U.S. education, I guess when I actually have something in my hands, designed and engineered with Chinese technology, I will proof that the Chinese have taught something we are not. In India or China that day is not today, nor is tomorrow.

Still, if the Liberals have their way, the USA will decline further.

U.S. Engineers are the most sought after anywhere in the world.

Oh I'm sure that China is luring away US engineers. There is really no use for engineers in a country that has relatively low production and very high consumption.

Let's see, back to the GOP budget cuts; if we take that $30 billion for FY 2011 and consider the China/US trade deficit ($252 billion for 2010) , that is about 1/9th of a reduction in what we owe China (in just a single year). Wow, congress is making huge, huge headway in our debt reduction.

SO we should be socialist like Germany, or Communist like China. Is that what you want rdean?

I prefer being America.

I'm a free market kind of guy. I believe that regulated capitalism is how we became great. However, the game has changed in the last 20 years. Globalization is a harsh reality. In order for there to be surpluses (China, India, Malaysia, e.g.), there must be deficits (US, UK, EU). These deficits are destructive and unsustainable. Until the the deficit countries figure out a way to level the playing field, there will harsh social/cultural shocks on the people of these countries. Deficit country people have nowhere to go but "down", surplus country people have nowhere to go but "up".

Socialist polices, like Germany's, that are directed towards human capital (health, education, food, e.g.) will be imperative. Remember, people are your economic drivers. I'm don't believe that China's "live and let live" foreign policy is a communist philosophy. I believe it is more of a cultural philosophy. The US could learn a lesson from China's "live and let live" foreign policy and stop financing foreigner's wars, waging our own wars and policing the world on the back of the US taxpayer. Obviously, we can no longer afford it.

The left gets it. The right? Not so much.

I'll say the "left" is only less guilty. That is as far as I'll go. We have a left administration that is following the same fiscal policy (Bush grew gov by 19%), the same monetary policy (Keynesian policy is consistent with Greenspan or Bernanke), the current administration has escalated the war in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen.

Healthcare was a big plus though! But if you think about, an unfunded Obamacare is no different than a unfunded Bush Part D, Medicare.

As the song goes, 'same as it ever was...same as it never was...'

So we keep borrowing until there is nothing left to borrow?

This does not compute........

Or, we could fight back. Make things the rest of the world wants to buy. Sell things. Grow the economy.

How come the right can't think of those things?

Do you know that even with all the jobs you claim the USA sent to China that we are still the number one manufacturer in the world? I didn't think you actually knew that.

By the way, what some far right religious fanatics want is not what the republican party as a whole want. Even though you wished for it.

The jobs that were sent to China over the past 20 years are very relevant. However, this attrition was a slow process. the people who lost these jobs were able to retrain, reemploy over that time. A bigger issue is the job loss attributed to the the sub-prime crisis. People in construction, mortgages, real estate were not highly educated or trained. The collapse of the sub-prime bubble attributed to huge loss in US production and employment. These are the people we need to reeducate/retrain because housing is not coming back for along time.

They are getting very close to what the Democrats are proposing. The two parties will fight over it for several months, both will claim a great victory, that will have very little effect on the deficit.

I guess if you have never seen it there is no debate.

Oh, I've seen it in two business I have owned, state, and local government. If you want to see real cuts Google state percent cuts.

You have not seen a business absorb a 3.3% cut, now you state you have seen it, speaking of cuts that a business cannot afford.

If we actually talk about the facts, we are speaking of borrowing money, I for one do not calling spending more money than they take in taxes a 3.3% cut.

The question is this, in proper terms;

Can a business afford to increase its debt every year until that debt is more than its profit.

We are talking about spending more money and increasing debt as a "cut".

That is the Media for ya, we talk about borrowing money as "Cuts ". as a reduction.

You assume a lot, like everyone has the capacity to learn or be re-trained.

All the people who lost their jobs were able to retrain? That is why we see so many working at the front door, Welcoming us to Walmart.

Jobs sent to China or overseas not relevant, those jobs are the only reason we have unemployment at 10% or better across the USA.

Re-educate and re-train, the government propaganda works great, just teach someone something new and magically they can work. That is the most tired propaganda of the last century and now this, I heard this tired propaganda at least 4 times in my life. Gee, all I have to do is go back to school like a teenage and start my life over.

The government has fucked us, over and over, and its only the complete idiots that continue to support the government.

Throw all the bums out of office, reduce tax to nothing, stop the endless political campaigns, take the power from the government and give it to the people.

For some stupid reason, at all levels of government from local PTA boards, to the City Mayor to the Federal Government, we end up with Morons with no intelligence telling us how to live, and making laws they believe help, yet only cost money.

We need Steel and Textiles, not re-education.

Well, if Congress does cut $26B out of the budget and they stick to the budget, then that’s $26B they won’t have to borrow. Depending on your perspective, it is a cut.

The penalty for running deficits is quite different for a business versus government. We all know that no business can continue to operate if it consistently operates with a deficit. Eventually creditors will say enough is enough and that’s it.

The penalty for the federal government to consistently run deficits is much different than a business. Our creditors will never reach a point where they refuse to loan the government money unless they loose faith in the government’s ability to meet their financial obligations. Since the government creates money, it will always be able create enough money to meet their obligations. The “funny money” government creates is worth less, so creditors begin demanding higher interests rates. Additional interest adds to deficit forcing more borrowing. Over the years our standard of living goes down and we become a second rate country.

The process ends with painful cuts in government spending, increases in taxes, or both. I look at the issue as a pay me now or pay me later decision.

Here an article noting that we racked up $108 billion in debt in January alone! Let's see, if my math is correct, that FY 2011, $32 billion (Republican SUPER SAVINGS CUTS) is less that a third of what the gov borrowed just in January. I'm past being "amazed". I'm down-right offended.

Read that post again. I said 'The jobs that were sent to China over the past 20 years are very relevant.'

However to make matters much, much worse there was the Sub-prime bubble collapse.

I consider myself somewhat of an anarchist. But I think we'll all agree that we need some sort of government. We also need to tax as to pay sovereign debt down to a point that the US is not first (and formost) in the world.

If we are lucky it ends this way. If we are unlucky bond vigilantes (buyers of large amounts of sovereign dept) stop buying bonds. This lead to a loss of confidence in the dollar which leads to high inflation or even hyperinflation. Inflation is just an indirect tax. If you add together high inflation, to high unemployment (don't be fooled by yesterday's 9% report, U6 is around 18%), high commodity costs (fuel, food, e.g.), and lack of confidence in government; you get Egypt. Now add to Egypt, 200,000,000 guns and you will the US (in a few years).

It's quite simple. If by the next election, there is still a deficit and more deficit spending, then we once again vote out those who haven't fixed it. And we keep voting them out until we get a group in there who will and can fix it.

 

[Jackson]

Nothing draconian about cutting money we don't have from programs we don't need.

It's a good start. It's not nearly enough though.

Let's start making the DoD budget much more efficient. There is no reason we can't cut a third from that budget and not keep the same security levels.

Eliminating the Dept of Energy and Homeland security would be good a good addition to the departments already mentioned.

And of course, they need to start hitting the deceptively named "mandatory" spending as there is nothing mandatory about it.

How bout cutting the Dept of Education and the IRS completely. Or the EPA.

Imagine how much we'd save.

Well, let's start and stop talking about it! Where's Congress? Where's the Administration? We need cuts and everyone is sittting on their thumbs!

There will always be a deficit. As I noted in an earlier post, by 2013 the gov revenues (tax) will only be equal to what is spent under "Mandatory Spending" (SS, Medicare, gov pensions, interest on debt, VA, disability, e.g.). There will be no room for "Discretionary Spending" (military, EPA, DOE, DOJ, Homeland Security, Dept of Ed. and many more) if the Federal budget is balanced. The goal is to get the deficit to a manageable number, comparable to the deficits of the countries rest of the world. Right now the US deficit spending is outpacing the rest of the world exponentially.

I like Chris Christie. That man can take some heat.
