So republicans released their budget

[kyzr]

Those tax cuts and military spending are responsible for 95% of the spending debt.
When you reverse those tax cuts, and freeze military spending. I'll take you seriously on debt spending.
Until then, nothing else gets cut until those things do.

Agree on letting the tax cuts expire.
I'd even add new taxes.
Disagree on military spending, need to at keep up with inflation.
There are many other wasteful items to cut, I'd also hire another "Grace Commission" to cut the budget to the bone.
Here are my "balanced budget" options:

• Close loop-holes +$1.5T
  Fix SS net zero (raise the cap)
  Fix Medicare net zero (raise the co-pay & tax)
  Send Medicaid to the states +$500b
• Add new 0.2% transaction tax +$150b
• Add new remittance tax +$6b (Mexico pays for the wall, ICE, and CBP)
• Remove Capital Gains Tax loop-hole +$100b/yr
  Send Welfare to the states in phases +$1.3T
  Send Education to the states +$300b
  Eliminate all personal tax deductions +??????? (keep business deductions)
  Collect all taxes owed +$400b

$30T GDP means $6T in revenue max available.

Thats’ the max budget. Plan for it. Spend only what Tax revenue the FED can actually confiscate.

Even better, go back to $4T spending just a few years back. As posted by others.

Show us the proposal, not some made up BS from the Biden Admin.

Why? The items mentioned... do you not support those ideas?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Cuts to social security, medicare, medicaid, the ACA, and various other "entitlements".

But give a $5.5 trillion dollar tax cut to the wealthy and corporations.

THis is who they are folks. They don't give two wet shits about the common folks like you and me.

FACT SHEET: 80% of House Republicans Release Plan Targeting Medicare, Social Security, and the Affordable Care Act, Raising Costs, and Cutting Taxes for the Wealthy | The White House

In his State of the Union Less than two weeks ago, President Biden laid out his vision for an economy that gives the middle class a fair shot. He also warned that congressional Republicans “will cut Social Security and give more tax cuts to the wealthy,” that they continue to oppose the...

So, when Biden, in the SOTU, said the GOP would do this -- and they all booed-- were they just all full of shit?

No way!

So, you want to not only destroy investment, as well as weaken the US militarily....IOW, bring America down.

 

[j-mac]

Why?

Because if it comes from a liberal, it's most likely a lie.

No way!

Or he was projecting how he was going to attack any Republican proposal that hampered his runaway spending train....

You're dodging. We both know why.

You won't form a stance until you know of it is true. If true, you will defend it, reflexively. If not, you will dance and prance and say nothing of whether or not you support it.

Yawn.

 

[Thinker101]

Why? The items mentioned... do you not support those ideas?

Why, because we know how the left and the Biden Admin have major problems with honesty. Since the proposal was not shown, you can use google. All sites that refer to the proposal pretty much only point out Repubs want to raise the age for Social Security. So basically, the Biden Admin has nothing but BS.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Or he was projecting how he was going to attack any Republican proposal that hampered his runaway spending train....

Or he predicted with perfect accuracy what the GOP would do.

Again. Because that's what they said they would do.

You're dodging too.

So predictable.

Why have a fit and say it might be a lie? Do you NOT support those ideas?

Get ready for some tap dancing, folks.

 

[initforme]

This nation is looking for ways to keep people working longer which kills an economy when there's too many in the labor force now.

Mumbling to yourself again?

Haha, so predictable.

You really can't do it. It's a form of a mental handicap, at this point.

Biden can't even predict when he might soil himself....

Aaaand again....

It really is quite the standard your trying to set up here...

Agree with you, otherwise it's just deflection, is that right?

And, then all you have to do is respond like you did above with no substance at all....lazy, and weak are all you have.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes, supporting an idea or not. Maybe that's a lofty bar for you to clear, but normal adults have no problem.

Watch:

These are terrible ideas, and I do not support them.

Your turn!

 

[LeroyDumonde]

Most military spending has nothing to do with national defense. It's about the US mucking about in other countries' business.

This is standard rightwing fare, even if ill-advised and undoubtedly unpopular. It's the leaning into the IVF ban stuff in their budget that's uniquely nuts.
