How much money will that cost?
Oh goody. A commission. I’m excited. And hopeful. Not.
SHUT. OFF. THE. DXMN. MONEY. You don’t need no stinkin’ commission to do that! “Power of the purse”, idiots! The Constitution, idiots!
Dumb and dumber.
Send the illegals back where they came from and cut off benefits for non citizens, cancel the unbelievably stupid and ruinously expensive Green New Deal and start drilling for oil here in the US.
Balanced budget within 4 years, debt paid off, problem solved.
Just need the right president.
Forgive me Jimbo for this post. What BULLSHIT!! Stop spending money!!!!! Why is that so hard to understand for you f’king idiots? STOP BASELINE Budgeting, reduce eververy federal agency by 10% every year, abolish worthless agencies such as the Education Dept, Commerce Department and on and on. The Legal Services Corporation was going to be abolished but sued congress to reinstate funding and won!!!! You gutless Uniparty bastards are the problem. STOP SPENDING OUR F”KING TAX MONEY!!!!
there’s already a legal body that’s does this...its called CONGRESS!
Ohhh. A commission. Yeah, those always produce decisive policies.
A freakin’ commission.
Cue the facepalm meme.
How many commissions would that make it? I can recall at least 5 commissions on reducing the debt. These people have no intention at all on reducing spending. Bastards all of them.
And after the Commision blows through a few million bucks, they can issue a 1000 word report and close the whole effort out with a strongly worded letter to Congress suggesting a 1% tax cut to next Year's planned increase in Veteran's benefits.
Then they can get back to adding a few Trillion more to the U.S. Debt load and a whole slew of new taxes.
The solution is simple, stop spending what you don’t have. What’s lacking is the will to do so.
I have an idea: Abolish every department that isn’t authorized in the Constitution.
Yeah, it’ll get a lot of people riled up ... even on this forum ... Americans are addicted to Big Government. So what? It’s the only way to get the debt under control.
They really do think we are stupid and they aren't wrong because we keep sending them back for more of this genius representation.
Would this be the 10th or the 12th Blue Ribbon Commission on government debt?
politicians play moronic taxpayers.
Spending other peoples money like pigs at
a slop trough.
The answer is easy: NO MORE FOREIGN AID CASH GIVEAWAYS
Just great... another panel.
Rand Paul has come up with several very simple proposals over the last decade. In one bill, he asked Congress to eliminate the automatic annual budget increases, AND every dept CUT their budget spend by 5% … it failed to pass. The second one recently called for a dime cut since the nickel bill failed and we’re deeper in the hole. Guess what?
My personal philosophy is simple:
Eliminate every Federal department and agency created since 1960.
Congress would do well to follow in the footsteps of US Corporations and companies: reduce head count. Part of that reduction is to, slowly, eliminate those departments and agencies that duplicate similar departments run by the States, and more local government bodies. Now, some agencies do need to be federal in scope, such as the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Communications Commission. Other like agencies are easy to identify and segregate. Some agencies, like the National Transportation Safety Board, can be privatized and paid for by their members. Others can be returned to the States. And the list goes on.
You don’t have to be responsible or honest if the people can be fooled into thinking you are doing something.
This is the Uniparty Platform.
