I remember (yes I’m old but it wasn’t prehistoric times) when the MSM would actually mention the “deficit” occasionally.
In the Era of Baraq, it disappeared like “McJobs” and “homeless problem”
Oh, hey, ALL good libs know that the booming economy of the 50’s was because of FDR!!!
But the 90’s boom was Bill Clinton all the way!!!
HA! Idiots all.
here’s how to restore the budget and push fiscal responsibility
—
toss the 16th amendment, break apart the IRS and reestablish taxation as per the founders.
the state owes the federal govt tax money, not the individual.
set up taxation on a state by state basis, the type of tax being up to the state to decide.
reestablish the IRS to be state centric.
establish departments of taxation in every state to collect taxes from residents and funnel monies to the IRS
the amount owed by the state is dependent on the population of the state compared to the country, as per the founders. if the state has 10% of the US population, they owe 10% of the federal budget.
the budget must be passed by jan 1. if it is not passed, states will owe per the previous year’s budget.
no spending, except in times of war, will exceed the budget. any expenditures exceeding the budget will result in the immediate removal of all parties involves, with all benefits forfeit.
It’s a miracle we won WWII with FDR and Truman in charge..
a MIRACLE...
The real budget buster did not exist quite yet during the time of FDR and Truman. What is the real killer is unionized government workers. Under FDR and Truman government spending actually turned into something tangible, like dams, bridges, buildings, etc. Today with government workers unionized, we see nothing tangible. The government spends it all on either transfer payments to the unproductive or salaries, pensions, and health care to every government worker and all the retired ones on the Federal, State, and Local levels. Remember your teachers in HS back 30-40 years ago, guess what, if they still have a pulse, you are all still paying for them.
