No, Howard, the truth is the government needs to stop spending.

Howard , if i have to pay more taxes , it means I have to budget my money.
Is it too much to ask for the FED to go on a budget ?
When was the last budget proposed by the President ?
Oh yeah , it got NO democrat votes , and Reid won’t even bring up Obama’s proposed budget for a vote !
No budget in 4 years..??
And now you want more money —> stop the spending, idiot ! I had to do it , now it’s your turn !!
Exactly. The federal government takes in what, about 3 trillion dollars a year? If it stopped all the BS - like the unconstitutional entitlement spending and just got back to what it is Constitutionally authorized (and supposedly limited) to doing... They would have a surplus every year and we could pay off the debt inside of a decade or less.
Except America didn't vote for spending cuts. America voted for European-style social welfare. This doesn't come cheap and the "rich" alone won' be able to pay for it, even if they were taxed to the last penny. Not even close.
Pay it America! You asked for it!
While I agree with you, how will our elected officials then be able to line their AND their friends filthy pockets with our money?
Call me cynical but I'd be happy to retract that statement if someone could name just ONE elected official that hasn't enriched himself beyond his fat paycheck.
Reminds me of Lot arguing with God over how many righteous lived in Sodom!
