Ryan plan:TOTAL SAVINGS: $2.5 Trillion over Ten Years
Obama plan:Tax and repeat tax and repeat...............
I agree. Also, tell the South Koreans, Japanese, and Europeans that they can either start reimbursing the American taxpayer for their defense or we bring our troops home. Send a bill to Canada for the de-facto military we have been providing to them for years. And bring our troops home from the middle eastern hell holes and station them along our borders. Let them spend their military pay stimulating our economy.
The budget was also going UP every year.
Defending the world against the USSR fulfilled any obligation. The Cold War defense posture should be considered a special and temporary case, not an endless burden.
Then the You’re-a-peons couldn’t spend their $ on welfare and Statists in Congress couldn’t claim to be ‘pro-military’.
Why can’t they do these reductions in one year?
The other thing not examined in the 2.5 Trillion reduction is that every government program shut down represents government employees or people on the government tit who will now have to go get jobs which contribute to GDP rather than drain it. What will that value added to the market place do for our tax revenues?
Yep.
I sure hope the taxpayers aren't supporting that freak of nature offspring of Sonny Bono.
RE: A “death gratuity” is paid to the surviving spouse and/or children of a member of Congress who dies in office
Paid for maybe by the “death tax” on ordinary hardworking tax payers who worked hard their whole life and saved too much ...
RE: The budget was also going UP every year.
I have no problems with that with the following proviso in mind:
1) Keep an eye on TAX REVENUE, you cannot increase the budget if your revenue is SHRINKING.
2) Increase the budget based on this normal rule : Inflation rate plus population growth.
