Good read but needed some proofreading. :)
TEACHER’S UNIONS, NON PROFITS, SS, MEDICARE, ALL PROGRAMS FOR THE LAZY, THE SINGLE MOTHER CLASS BEING THE FASTEST GROWING, PENSIONS THAT ARE OUTRAGEOUS, ABSURD PUBLIC SECTOR SALARIES, UNPAID STUDENT LOANS, LOANS FOR ABSURD MAJORS THAT WILL PRODUCE NO INCOME..
and on and on and on and on and on. So many things need to be fixed, changed or done away with.
Mass college attending has been one of the worst things to ever happen to this country.
nothing learned for 70 percent except hatred of country, perversions, and how to pay off a debt with no job.
Libs only care about spending when they are out of power.
If all government employees in Washington D.C. took a 10% pay cut, all of congress start flying coach class, quit funding the brunt of the UN which hates us anyway. stop hand out welfare checks to a plethora of countries that for sure hate us, and we drop all of the bi-lingual nonsense on government forms we could have some money to pay on our national debt. Taking this into account this list could go on for days and we could probably pay off the debt in record time.
Oh Hell NO! Do not pay the debt down. Leave it on life support so the Democrats and Leftists cannot create “just another” entitlement program. For once a republican should do something we would like as conservatives and not leave the golden goose for the Dem’s to use.
It has been talked to death, nothing will happen, and the nation will die.
A 20% import tariff balances the budget tomorrow.
Combine the tariff with massive income tax reduction and watch the US economy on rocket fuel.
Globalist Free Traitors™ are killing the country.
The national debt increased from about $9 trillion when Obama took office, to about $20 trillion today.
I think we all know that tough choices have to be made, if we are ever to get this under control.
There are specific steps which should be taken. Among those are, for the Social Security system to balance its budget, as if it were a separate business entity. Ditto for Medicare.
Ditto for the federal government overall. The first step is not to run annual deficits. We need to balance the budget. After that, then hard choices have to be made to cut back federal spending, and/or increase revenues/taxes somehow, in order to pay down accumulated debt.
I think we all know that if we don’t take some obvious steps, that the consequences down the road will be severe.
But then, anyone making any proposals, such as when Paul Ryan wanted to change the structure of Medicare funding, are met by the liberals with cries of how he wants to throw Granny off a cliff.
Proposed cutbacks in any federal spending are met with the same reaction by liberals and the media, that (fill in the blank name of evil Republican conservative) wants to (see people become homeless, take food out of mouths of poor kids, shut down schools attended by our kids, etc)
So as a result, intimidation sets in, and then nothing is done about certain problems.
You cannot bring the deficit under control through cuts to discretionary spending. You could literally cut every single dollar of non-defense related, non-security related discretionary spending and still run a deficit. Without cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other non-discretionary spending you will never balance anything.
