So republicans released their budget

[Fort Fun Indiana]

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

Which is chiefly to secure global markets of necessary goods. Which defends our national security.

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!

Taking me out of context is the only thing you people have....pathetic.

Nobody did that.

But making you dodge and dance was the easiest thing I will do all day.

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!

I know, right?

It's not like republicans are the party of liars and thieves now is it?

Oh, wait...

Haha, this won't help you.

Now run along and turn on the AM radio to find your stance on these ideas.

All together total revenue collected = GDPx0.2

take last years known GDPx0.2 and that is the spening cap. Make it work or? several possibilities.

 

[j-mac]

Haha, this won't help you.

Now run along and turn on the AM radio to find your stance on these ideas.

Baby hissy fits, dodges the topic...

Yep, it's a trumper!

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.

Covid is over, Bring spending down to pre-Covid levels.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

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

Close loop-holes +$1.5T

List the loopholes you want to close.

Remove Capital Gains Tax loop-hole +$100b/yr

How much was raised the last time the capital gains tax was raised?

Well that's certainly the Pentagon's talking point.

Not that simple. It depends on income tax levels. Those have to come up first.

That you can't argue against, so you fling poo and run away.

Spending needs to come down first.

No evidence was provided for the Pentagon's claim so no argument against it was necessary.

1. Close all loopholes. No deductions, only the standard deduction.
2. Capitol gains was implemented in 1997, so it was never raised. The revenue generated should close to double.
