It's probably help if you stopped personalizing everything. I never commented on your fiscal responsibility. But you really should elect politicians that are fiscally responsible and a group running around playing chicken with things like the debt ceiling are hardly being fiscally responsible. We have a bed we are currently lying in and it is going to take a combination of spending cuts and tax hikes to start fixing it. And crying about how going back to Clinton-era tax rates will destroy the economy is just so much ridiculuos fear-mongering.
Again, we dont have a revenue problem....we have a SPENDING problem
We have both right now. We are trying to recover from a severe recession which naturally dampens tax revenues, paying for unfunded military actions, and bailing out a bunch of people that should have been jailed instead of being bailed out by taxpayers so they can just tank the economy again in a couple of years. And instead of trying to fix those things the GOP is busy running around trying to cut programs for people that do need the help and are also the ones that if given cash will actually spend it and get into the economy circulating again.
You said: “If we are going to maintain this level of spending for the foreseeable future, then yeah, I’m in favor of paying for it now. Whether that results in higher taxes for you or not I really don’t care. What do you have against fiscal responsibility?”
Sounds personal to me.
Stop blaming the GOP for this president’s economy. After 4 years, this mess belongs to him. He pledged he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, but he failed miserably. He said he would bring all the troops home in his first 16 months in office, thereby ending the “unfunded wars” problem you mentioned, and again he failed to do so. Instead of criticizing his actions, you lay the blame on republicans, who really have little power to stop this idiot as he takes our country down. You really have a hard-on for Zero, like most obamabots, and it’s pathetic to see.
