They seem to be stupid, because their idea of cutting spending is to cut 38 billion from what might be spent over the course of years....you have got to be kidding.....we don't need cuts that add up to less than 9 days of borrowing......ooooooo that was a big deal.....NOT!!!!! They cut things...but some of the things they cut were money for low income mother and infant help, money for community health centers......yea those things need to go. While 22 million for the botanical gardens needs to stay...while 122 million for teaching 3rd world children the nutrition pyramid needed to stay...while 20 million to invite foreign leaders and their families to come to Washington D.C. for a week vacation, to learn about American government...while not cutting any of their own pay checks....while not cutting anything that might affect any of them.... These people are stupid and they don't care that you know it, nor do they care if you care. They will just BS you when the election rolls around...blaming everything on the other party...lets face it America, both parties are STUPID.
Neither side did anything to solve our problems. What we need is something that makes sense. First, start by bringing home Americana's solders. It's time to bring home alot of the folks, we have hanging out in Europe....to be honest with everyone...i don't see a major war breaking out in Germany anytime soon and if it does? do we really think we could stop it with what we have there?? Waste of money.....
Next start cutting something that might not really help as far as the amount goes...but cut your own salaries....cut your staffs...cut your travel.....cut your lunches out....cut your budgets...start at home. The best idea I've heard so far is that congress should get the average pay of their constitutes. Maybe make it the median household income in the United States of $46,326 plus say $20,000. Then make it so you can't have a pay increase, without it being on a national vote and then only every 4 years. It just might leave the impression you care...and guess what, you can still be the ignorant, arrogant, elitists assholes that you really are...but the impression will be, that you really do care...and that is the game in politics right????
Next cut the stupid stuff....do we really need national gardens???? when we have to barrow the money to have them?
Do we need to send any money to any other country when we have to barrow to do it??
Do we need to have any program that gives any money or tax breaks of any kind to oil companies. Exxon had $10.7 billion, Chevron $6.2 billion, Royal Dutch Shell $6.3 billion. Those are quarterly NET profits. Do you understand what that really is....that's how much is left over after paying all the bills...that's what they call disposable income....what you and i have left over....for the silly stuff that we don't really need but want....that works out to....$120,224,719.10 per day, 5,009,363.29 an hour, 83,489 a minute, 1391.49 per second, for Exxon in NET PROFITS.....and we give these guys a tax break.....give them government subsidies??? You still hear some of America's leaders saying we can't cut those things????? see they really are STUPID. Considering that over 80% of Americans made less last year, than Exxon did per minute in the first quarter....how can anyone......anyone without an oil company paying them off, honestly say they need tax breaks and government subsidies???? The answer is...they can't, unless they are STUPID....REALLY STUPID...
Do we need to spend $170 billion a year to fight a war in Afghanistan and Iraq...when we have to barrow every dollar????? No....if it really is a fight for the personal freedom of those folks....let them earn it themselves, it will mean more....if it's for oil, as some say, then it isn't working.....hell it really isn't working no matter what it's about ....every person that comes out for a democracy has to worry about being shot...so we really aren't fixing things over there.....stop being stupid....make them figure it out. We had to.
Then do something for me and the rest of the 80% of Americans that make less than Exxon did per minute in three months......stop talking about how much of a percentage the top 1% pay. They have 90% of the money, if they aren't paying 90% of the taxes then the percentages aren't quite equal yet are they???? How can you keep a straight face while taxing people that are classified as under the poverty limit.......and still talk about cutting taxes for someone making 7 figures????? Maybe there should be a tax bracket above what we have now???? Something starting at $1,000,000 and up????? Maybe then you could eliminate the one on the folks in the bottom bracket that are under the poverty limit????? Just a thought...might look humane.
Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut save you thirty cents? ~Peg Bracken
The point to remember is that what the government gives it must first take away. ~John S. Coleman, address, Detroit Chamber of Commerce, 1956
The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. ~Ronald Reagan
If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute. ~Thomas Paine
There may be liberty and justice for all, but there are tax breaks only for some. ~Martin A. Sullivan
