Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

That alone would cut more than 2/3rds of the federal spending, and we ought to begin working towards complying with the Constitution before it loses its remaining value to this country.
The leftist pansies who are running (ruining) this nation have been using our Constitution for toilet paper. They are traitors. Barry is blameless as he isn't even a legitimate citizen. He's just a criminal, muslim communist puppet whose strings are being pulled by Soros and the rest of the internationalist conspiracy.
Walter Williams is correct.
If you’re a principled business owner competing against another business that uses government to get a favorable regulation or subsidy, YOU LOSE.
If you obey the law, hire personnel, and pay the appropriate payroll taxes for your employees, while your competitor pays illegal aliens under the table, YOU LOSE.
If you live responsibly and save for retirement while your irresponsible neighbor gets a handout or government intentionally inflates away the value of your life savings, YOU LOSE.
If you live a moral life, don’t cheat on your spouse, and provide for your children while the welfare mom down the street gets a payout for every child she pushes out while living with her boyfriend in secret, YOU LOSE.
How is an honest, moral, responsible person supposed to take care of themselves and their family when the system is rigged to the advantage of lawbreakers, liars, and cheats?
Probably won’t be saved before literal Armageddon.
However, Christ will pull the remnants together again, imho.
Short answer: yes
Long answer: it’ll take some smarts and hard work
Our entire Federal government needs to be torn down and rebuilt on the Constitution and the Bill or Rights. Same thing for the DoJ. States themselves need to sit down, look at the BoR, and sh*tcan anything that violates it. The 10th gives them power not ceded to the Fedgov, but some things are off limits even to them.
All of this needs to happen or we will be just another footnote in History.
Prof. Wiliams is totally correct. Too bad CBS News simply looked the other way when Obama’s failed economic ideas were made manifest during the 2008 campaign and chose instead to be part of his propaganda machine.
Cntl+Alt+Del.
short answer: NO and Austrian economists would agree.
when piddling cuts or even freezes in spending are offered the left and the media go apeshit in repeating the mantra that ‘ they want to kill your grandma, steal her SS checks and eat your baby’.
If 40% of the budget has to be borrowed and even tiny freezes are near impossible then the Cloward/Piven socialist progressive statist tactic and ideology has won.
Longer answer: Yes, but only after it first crashes.
It’s far too late to vote our way out of this. All we can do is prepare for the inevitable train wreck that’s coming.
Uhhhhhh
Isn’t that more than a little toooo insulting to 5 year olds?
No way. The most likely way to deal with the debt is to monetize the debt and bring on hyper inflation. The other, less likely result will be a revolution such as occurred in Germany during the Weimer Republic days. We are kaput! Even the Tea Partiers are not willing to cut enough to make any meaningful differences.
Sobering.
Compare the US to the Soviet Union before it crashed and dissolved. The Soviets went down because of money problems. Couldn’t support what Khrushchev grand ideas. What are our problems. Not enough money to support Zero’s grand ideas.
We have already slipped under the water and are drowning but not many in DC seem to recognize it.
This year at the SOTU address, when I saw dozens of members of Congress choose what they termed as “bipartisan seating”. In actual fact they were showing the American viewers that the US Congress is now a one party congress.
Yes, that’s what I said. There’s no substantial difference in the parties anymore. The US Congress is essentially a ONE PARTY congress. One goal in a ONE PARTY government is a Communist government. Sure we don’t have to admit the truth yet but we know what it is. The Republic is gone.
If the Tea Party stands up on its hind legs and kicks the out the Communist government maybe we’ll still have the strength to break the surface and start gasping for air once again.
OK.
If we’re talking about 5 year old lobotomized drunken slugs.
1. It’s all funny money.
2. Killing off millions of “useless eaters” . . . is part of their plan.
Honestly I think it’s too late (there’s also Trillions in Fannie/Freddie debt btw) they may be able to hold off the beasts by extend and pretend for a while longer. In that vein...
Rand Paul Calls for 30% Cut in Federal Spending
http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2011/01/rand-paul-calls-for-30-cut-in-federal.html
I like Rand Paul and I think this is great but I doubt it will be pushed through. On the plus side when the interest rates skyrocket like they did in the early 1980’s you may be able to make a little money for prepping before the crash.
