Quoted for Truth. Well said, Tonytitan.
The spending is a problem of course. No one is arguing with that . Unless there are spending cuts, and DRASTIC ones, the 700 billion (over 10 years) is not going to mean anything as far as the debt is concerned .But two wrongs don’t make a right and you don’t keep throwing good money after bad. If tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% were invested in business we would be overflowing with work. In fact there was NO increase on the numbers of employment in this decade that can be placed upon their ‘effectiveness’
As to the tax increase argument, Republicans argue that Democrats want to increase taxes. Nope. Democrats simply want to restore the tax to the rate during Bill Clinton’s administration. When the sale price returns to the normal retail price, you don’t cry that prices have increased.
If you can’t cut back enough to live with the post sale “tax increase” on your 250+K a year, you have serious problems. And according to polls that is where half of all Americans draw the line.
