NOTHING good comes from those “gangs”.
Soory not impressed. Any plan that’s over 10 years instead of cutting now is pure BS.
Isn't that code for tax increases?
They need to go back to Boehner's original statement..give Obama a debt increase equal to or more than the amount of spendign cuts in the next two years..period.
How can lowering it mean increasing it?
RE: Any plan thats over 10 years instead of cutting now is pure BS.
With Senate still under Dem control and the White House under Obama, cutting anything of significance *now* is near impossible.
Let's get them home NOW! And start those savings.
He mentioned cutting tax subsidies for ethanol. I could agree to that!
Cut sending money overseas to other nations; stop paying welfare to illegal aliens; cut subsidies to all different kinds of businesses - before we know it, it could all add up to billions.
>> We can increase revenues by adjusting the tax code and lowering it,
>> Isn’t that code for tax increases?
Sure it is. But more precisely, it’s code for “increase taxes on everyone but YOU PERSONALLY {wink wink nudge nudge}.”
I believe lowering the tax code means one pays more...

Yes they will BUT... If we refuse to touch/reform the big three -— Social Security, Meidcare and Medicaid, it will still not amount to much in our budget.
a flat tax or nat retail sales tax would do it - lower all marginal rates, increase the number of payers, and get the economy moving in the right direction.
i said it on another thread today - i think oZero is tanking us on purpose. He won’t agree to anything that will help. He’ll only push things that make it worse.
Coburn is a real POS lately. Derides the Tea Party and constituents to defend Nancy Pelosi as a “Nice Person”. Joins these “Gang for Concessions to Rats” groups and now wants $1 Trillion in tax increases.
Blow it out your ear Coburn. You are totally untrustworthy anymore.
It took only a few "not exactly's" from politicians to put us into this situation in the first place.
They need to cut the crap and get real and take care of our financial issues this time once and for all, up front and out in the open so we the public understand completely.
2012 will come around fast, they had better not mess this one up.
Call...and call again...DC is out of control...someone has got to stand up.

A flat tax would still leave the door open for politicians to hand out exemptions and put us right back into the same boat again where only a select few pay all the taxes.
A sales tax would force ALL to pay regardless of status.
Those who purchase must pay.
“Isn’t that code for tax increases?”
YES!
And I’m ALL for it.
When conservatives use words like “broadening the base” and “flattening the rates”, they usually mean more people will be paying and fewer will be getting a free federal ride as do half the population today.
Rush used to joke about “raising taxes on the poor”. But that is EXACTLY what needs to be done. Not for the sake of generating more revenue. But for the simple purpose of restraining their seemingly endless lust for other peoples money.
Closing Richie Rich loopholes and such is great too as part of a simplification strategy. But taxing the tit suckers is a way to get them to at least come up for air.
In other words:
NO REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION!
