Republicans, here's your chance.

Yes, it should. YOur pretense that being a "capitalist" requires opposition to normal trade policy, is wrong.

Just don't pretend you are for "free trade" or really that you are even a "capitalist". If you want the government to protect your interests fine, but don't pretend that is anything but a government controlled economy.

I already told you. Cut spending first, then taxes. Be fiscally responsible.

Why this has made you guys so angry is anyone's guess.

Nobody would ever trusts politicians to do this.

Of course not. So in reality, this is all nothing more than rhetoric that some people think is real.

I called your bluff and gave you a fiscally responsible plan to cut spending in post #39

Which you have completely ignored

because your real purpose here is to bash trump supporters

Really with that being such a low bar it's probably not fair.

You are a typical associate of Mac1958

Since you cant attack the plan you sling mud instead

I did address your plan. No one will ever trust a politician to make cuts and then increase taxes. It's a pipe dream. Solutions must be real.

Lets hear your “real” solution that does not involve politicians

Another great example of why there is no reason for us to communicate.

I've noted we are going to collapse. What that will end up looking like I'm not sure.

You dont want to communicate with people who disagree with you

You demanded a plan to cut spending and I gave it to you

For them all you want is to have a food fight

 

[Mac-7]

I've noted we are going to collapse

If enough people think like you and Mac1958 total collapse is possible

Everyone or nearly everyone thinks like me. Neither side will trust either to live up to their promises because they never do.

You disagree?

 

[Mac-7]

Wrong

Most people are not nihilists who have given up hope

But I suspect you are not that either

Instead you just saying whatever you can think of to keep the argument going

Right.......you trust the Democrats to live up to their promises?

They either agree to cancel the automatic increases in the next fiscal year or they dont

Everything is year by year, including the spending cuts and tax increases

 

[pknopp]

Everything is year by year, including the spending cuts and tax increases

Which means nothing gets accomplished as the cuts or tax increases never sticks. But you didn't answer my question......

 

[Mac-7]

Btw Mac1958, this is your thread and your topic

Why dont you come out of hiding and participate?

 

[Mac-7]

We pass something resembling a budget every year

I agree that dems do not want to cut spending

But they do want to raise taxes

So compromise is possible

I have been. I've had a couple of interesting conversations. I've seen many interesting and educational posts. It's been a very interesting thread.

You bore me, so I don't bother with you. If you don't like that, too bad.

I've asked you nicely to stop tagging me, but you won't stop. So, I'm not required to respond.

Sorry.
