eliminate 95% of government and no taxes are needed!!!
“the head of IMF is demanding the US raise its debt limit”
While they rely on us to fund them for their very existence...
Taxes, taxes, taxes.
You make it, we take it.
Now fork it over: we need raises. :)
“If the debt limit is not lifted then we acquire no more debt.”
Fine, but most of what we spend is in social security and medicare checks. If we dont raise the debt limit, those checks dont go out.
That’s not gonna work ... at all.
“The constitution requires that we pay our debt so the fat cats of spending will just need to figure it friggen out.”
The answer - cut entitlements - is politically unpalatable.
“If I was in debt, my balanced approach would not include a demanded pay raise at work, would it?”
No, but politicians will lose their jobs if they stop handing out the freebies.
That’s the real problem, we have a nation of 50% taxpayers and 50% freeloaders. If the freeloaders outvote the taxpayers, the system is doomed.

We need a President who is less focused on punishing the employed and more focused on getting people employed.
trusts are supposed to spend 5% of their wealth each year on something. Harvard and Yale were exempted for some reason, those exemptions should end. as a start
What happens when the government employees can outvote the people??
Yes the interesting thing is that the Feds (Pols) see no need to hide their systematic looting of taxpayers money now. I have tried to figure out what kind of mind would destroy the lives, retirement or otherwise of American Citizens. Is it pure ideological ignorance. Progressive/Socialist agenda depend on a lazy, self obsessed citizenry.
The total detachment from the reality of the conditions for regular Americans during this recession (2) is scarey. Means they have no intention of considering what Americans want.
