there's no way to solely grow our way out of this

You mean the Government can spend and invest economic growth like we being told told?

As Van Jones has said, who is a guy who has written a book about the green collar economy, when you think about the green economy, don't think about Buck Rogers; think about joe six-pack putting on a green hard hat. Think about Rosie the riveter manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines. This is President Obama's plan -- jobs, jobs, jobs.

Too many people on the dole. The cart is getting too heavy to pull.

Note the (much smaller) pie chart on the left is made up almost exclusively of funds that are taken out of OUR suffering hides! And we’re tapped out on taxes, so there is nothing else they can take from us, try though they will.

Gee ... how did the United States government EVER have enough money to function before the 16th Amendment?

I’d like to see at least a 20% cut of all spending across the board—entitlement payments included.

That will cause pain—me included—but nothing like the pain that would result from America going into default or (maybe worse) paying off the debt with funny money.

This is NOT an accident!
This is Obama’s PLAN!

He want’s to screw the job creators, and limit the resources available to expand.
He wants to INCREASE THE COST OF BUSINESS through:
- Higher energy prices,
- Higher healthcare costs,
- Higher taxes,
- Increased regulatory restrictions!

Using the above tactics to shut down American business and industry results in more people DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT!

This is the destruction of capitalism and the American way of life!

In 2007 under the full force of the Bush tax cuts, the Federal Government had the highest level of tax receipts in history.
Lower taxes encourages business expansion and more employment, resulting in more people PAYING taxes and FEWER people needing “entitlements”.

THAT is the America I want!

“And what is obvious as well when you look at this is that there’s no way to solely grow our way out of this.”

Even Rush Limbaugh is admitting this. Thank God.

You would drop entitlement by 20%; by removing illegals, and you would improve taxes by nearly the same amount because of increased wages that would need to be paid people to work in a free market.

Cut not only SS, but Medicare/Medicaid, and Defense spending. All of the other programs are chump change compared to the Big Three.

The country is BROKE. We dont have the money anymore for bloated government. It all has to be cut drastically.
