But instead of using it to pay off our debt, the money was spent on trillions of dollars in new tax cuts,

When will this doofus and his peeps get it through their collective heads that government does NOT spend money to pay for tax cuts???

They will not. We need a balanced budget that, unfortunately, includes $600 million a year to pay back the debt this doofus racked up in 2 years. Insanity?!? Yes, our greatest export product!

Read this piece of twisted artistry, slowly:

The first approach says, let’s live within our means by making serious, historic cuts in government spending. Let’s cut domestic spending to the lowest level it’s been since Dwight Eisenhower was President. Let’s cut defense spending at the Pentagon by hundreds of billions of dollars. Let’s cut out waste and fraud in health care programs like Medicare — and at the same time, let’s make modest adjustments so that Medicare is still there for future generations. Finally, let’s ask the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations to give up some of their breaks in the tax code and special deductions.

This balanced approach asks everyone to give a little without requiring anyone to sacrifice too much.

I will gladly donate a pair of friggin’ designer roller skates and volunteer to string a guideline to pull herself along. When she is outside, she can hold on to BO’s leash. (Both of them.)

I made a little mistake in my post. The little pallet in front of the truck is $100 million, NOT billion.

THEY know this; they are hoping you (and every other voter) doesn’t because right now they want to demonize tax cuts.

They want some more “revenue enhancements.”

Well, the farm I’m thinking of should have had a hoarder’s intervention fifty years ago.

That's the difference. If the stuff lays around long enough, it is worth cash. Most of the time when we skip by the Hoarders program, my wife and I remark that they are not hoarders. Just slobs. Who collects half eaten tuna fish sandwiches and stained underwear anyway? People who don't clean.

“History is scattered with the stories of those who held fast to rigid ideologies and refused to listen to those who disagreed.’

Like our Founding Fathers, for instance. The blip on the screen does not have a lick of common sense. Not a lick.

Thought that statement was just another case of projection.

As the socialist/communist pillars all over the world come crashing down before his eyes, one would think he might take some time on the golf course to reassess his “rigid ideology” before he hurtles our country headfirst off the cliff and destroys 250 years of what was working.
