What’s so great about going over “the cliff”?
Because it may help the government cut its entitlement spending, or at the very least think harder about trying to expand ways to entrap and enslave more people with money for nothing. I’m not saying it is a panacea for all this country’s ills, but it is a check on Obama’s spending.
Last year, Obama’s extra entitlement spending amounted to $1.2 Trillion Dollars spread over 80+ programs. This was in addition to Social Security and Medicare. Why would you be ‘for’ stopping the ‘cliff’?
You don't compromise with evil communists/democrats who want to empower government , raise taxes and take away our individual rights. Do you people realize that everything democrats and the media(democrats) do is to empower government and at the same time dis-empower the individual?
No deal with the democrats, GOP must not cave to media pressure. Why do you want them to deal to solve what? democrat just want GOP to agree to raise taxes so they can destroy them in the next election as they did to Bush 1 "read my lips" made him agree to raise taxes promised him spending cuts that they never did. he fell for their democrat lies that they would cut spending later on which they never did. the media and democrats want Republicans to agree to raise taxes on the rich so then the media could tell all conservatives the GOP agreed to raise taxes to lower conservative voter turnout and then get democrats to take control of the HOuse again. that is the plan and if none of you see you don't know what is going on. I would put a proposal: dismantle the entire federal government and no tax raises on anyone, take it or leave it otherwise no deal.
All government agencies could be well served by a 50% budget haircut and I include the Pentagon as well as Congress.
Having served in the military there is massive waste.
The only way to unravel it is just as is done in the private sector. We must tell the individual in command JCS or Sec Def that we want the budget cut by 50% and continuity of mission.
Tell him/her to figure out how to do it and if they don’t know how that another Sec Def will be appointed. They’ll get ur done.
