What are SOCIALIST Democrats doing in Congress?

[Independent thinker]

They won't even talk about cutting spending, end of discussion. They want to spend so badly they're willing to let the US default on it's debt rather than even talk about cutting spending. With the US debt closing in on 32 trillion dollars, cutting spending is completely off the table, not even open for discussion, even as the IMF told Biden the US needs to cut spending to bring down inflation instead of raising interest rates and bringing on banking collapses and a worldwide recession. It's really quite mind boggling.

LOL. So, with the US at close to 32 trillion dollars in debt, you don't think anything anywhere can be cut? Is that what you're saying?

Any and all spending the Constitution doesn’t specifically authorize the Federal Government to do. I believe that is limited to 17 things.

It's a straightforward question.

The Federal Budget in Fiscal Year 2022: An Infographic | Congressional Budget Office

The federal deficit in 2022 was $1.4 trillion, equal to 5.5 percent of gross domestic product, almost 2 percentage points greater than the average over the past 50 years.

Start the cutting at 15% across the board. There is nothing that says one program can't be eliminated or cut way back to fund another if it's all that important. That's what we elect the politicians to do, make hard choices.

That and all climate change hoax spending throughout the various agencies should be eliminated.....Not another nickel. Hell, that likely good for 5% right there.

All Fed agencies that aren't specifically authorized by the Constitution. EPA, DOE, ATF, HHS, FBI, etc.
All welfare programs.
And then massive cut's across the board everywhere else, including the DOD.
Phase out SS, medicare, etc.

Does that make you happy?

If only the Repubs had done anything about spending when they held the House, Senate and White House....

 

[Lisa558]

Let’s start by reducing all expenditures by 1%. Each federal department gets 1% less than the previous year, government salaries are cut by 1%, government pensions are cut by 1%, Social Security is cut by 1%, food stamps cut by 1%, etc., etc.

That 1% could EASILY be found in the fraud, waste, and abuse.

You would think that a DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) member in congress would be a violation of the Hatch Act.

The act also precludes federal employees from membership in "any political organization which advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of government".

 

[Nostra]

All unrealistic options.

Why?

Because it adheres to the Constitution?

There are a lot of deadbeats collecting benefits who should be working. Cut them off at the nuts and make them work.

That hasn't happened in a long time. You don't hold the Senate if you don't have a supermajority. But, I agree Republicans aren't very good at cutting spending unless there is a Democratic president. But, to outright declare that you aren't even going to talk about cutting spending is very telling.

Name one that has been on a national ticket?
I said this is what I would do, not what the corrupted pols will do

Completely agree - all unrealistic options with Democrats sharing government. That's why they won't even talk about cutting spending, any spending. They think they can tax the rich to the tune of 32 trillion dollars - also unrealistic.

What is the point of talking about it if we know they will never actually do it?

At least the Dems are honest about spending while the Repubs lie to you people so you will vote for them.

That doesn't sound like what he was saying. I'm pretty sure he was asking what you would like to cut
