Os not making that type of argument.

O’s argument is they cant cut any spending till they show those affected that the rich are taking a little pain first, its not economic its a ‘fairness’ argument targeting emotions, that seems to work.

Also you got the problem that Clinton raised taxes on the rich and Bush cut them and Americans were much happier in 2000 than 2008. So dems will always throw that out too.

its a shame that the taxes didnt go up at the end of 2010 (Dems in charge) when they expired and then O wouldnt have had “raise taxes on the wealthy” as a campaign issue this past year.

maybe Romney could have used it instead

I can fund all of the Art 1 Sec 8 powers of the FedGov for about $450B in my estimation.

F*ck Congress. Liars and thieves...

I still haven’t heard Obummer utter a single word about cutting. “Tax the rich” is the limit of his ongoing campaign message.

So where is the “balanced” approach to the budget crisis? Let’s see the cuts.
