Prior to his comments, Reid proposed dealing with sequestration in a “balanced” way by closing tax loop holes on the wealthy and asking “millionaires to pay a little bit more.”

"Closing Tax Loop Holes"

"Asking Millionaires To Pay A Little Bit More"

I see two different means of increasing revenue in the dimocrat's proposal through stealing money from people who are already paying the lion's share of taxes. I DO NOT see any mention of cutting the spending (or rather, overspending, fraud, and waste) of the Federal Government.

HARRY REID - YOUR PLAN HAS ZERO BALANCE!!!!!

FY 2009: Revenue - $2105 Billion Spending - $3518 Billion Surplus or Deficit - $1413 Billion DEFICIT

I'm not understanding the use of the word "Billion" here. That deficit above is 1.413 TRILLION. The total deficit over those four years is 4.463 TRILLION. IMO, using the denomination of BILLION significantly underscores the actual amounts that were spent above the revenue received.

The Republicans are not willing to **deal** with the Democrats $$$.
It’s good to see the dems being exposed every day now.
The public is waking from it’s induced coma.

I am using the word BILLION to illustrate the point that all of the sequestration talk, $85 BILLION, is the amount cut from a MUCH large BILLION number. Using the word TRILLION hasn't seemed to sink in the heads of the Low Information Voters.

Spending for FY 2013 is estimated to be around $3800 BILLION. With a cut of $85 BILLION, that shrinks the estimate to $3725 BILLION. To me, that paints a much different picture than what Obama tries to paint. You may not agree.

If the "Low Information Voter" can't understand that,

$3,800,000,000,000 is a vastly larger number than,

$85,000,000,000

I believe it highly doubtful they will be able to understand that 3800 billion is a vastly larger number than 85 billion.

... asking “millionaires to pay a little bit more.”

Uh Harry...you just got that "little bit more." Going back to the well multiple times is bad form. Come up with a new slogan, that one's worn out by your boss.

Democrats Are Right

I don't need the msm to know that Progressives, Socialist, Liberals, and Democrats are left, not right.

I agree with you at #35

There are so many things to build a new party platform on.

Let the GOP die.

Don’t donate a dime to them.

If you are addressing the Zero information voter, you're in the wrong forum.
For us math literate, 1413 Billion$ IS identical to 1.413 Trillion$

Assuming the Zero Information voter is capable of grasping the concept is presenting facts not in evidence.

I love the way these Democrat scumbags use the word "ask" when what they mean is "confiscate at the point of a gun".

I disagree. I believe that the low information voter, or zero information voter, are quite capable of grasping the concept of 1.413 Trillion (or 6 trillion+ spent by this current administration in less than four years). It isn't that they do not, or cannot, grasp the concept. It's that they don't care that the country is going broke. And, they don't care, because THEY are the beneficiaries of this largess.
