Except that they NEVER deliver the tax cuts after they get their “tiny” tax increase.
When Bush does secure the nomination, do you think we might actually see some conservative pols and pundits leave the party? I’m real curious.
Uh, no.
How many times must Lucy pull the ball away at the last moment before Charlie Brown figures out that he's been duped?
Even if "$1 in new taxes for every $10 in spending cuts" is "the deal" that is agreed to, it never, ever would work out that way. The new taxes would be permanent, while the spending cuts would never materialize. And the Demo/Comnmies and their wholly-owned subsidiary of the lamestream media would mercilessly hammer the Republicans as "tax raisers", even though the Demo/Commies would always raise taxes even more.
So, at least most Republicans understand how the rigged game works, and would not fall for it again.
No. We are just tired of the Center getting dragged further and further left. Jeb Bush is just another example of this. He would make a great moderate Democrat, but he is crappy moderate Republican.
I did not leave the Center - it left me about 30 years ago.
“He has as much appeal as used food.”
JB is like sitting down to a bowl of milk with a piece of white bread soaking in it, when you were promised a steak!
” I will say it again: Jeb Bush will deliver the worst electoral defeat the GOP has seen in a generation, “
” I will say it again: Jeb Bush will deliver the worst electoral defeat the GOP has seen in HISTORY
There....fixed it.
” “Fear” isn’t the term I would use. More like “disgusted.””
The left patented the use of the term “fear”, like in
“homophobia”
If something disgusts you, you must “fear” it. Another big lie.
does Jeb thinks taxes are too low?
OK, lets raise taxes on foreign workers!
taxes are not too low
I do not think there is a chance on Earth that Jeb would cut spending
The two percent differential needs to be used to pay down the debt.”
Impossible, we could not pay down ANY DEBT if we wanted to. That sort of deflation(restoring value) is cryptonite to a Central Banker. We have a stated policy of 3% inflation (theft of value) annually, that my friend REQUIRES at least 3% higher DEBT annually, add in the Interest and it is 5%.
NO GOVERNMENT DEBT CAN EVER BE PAID DOWN.
I don’t know. But I do know which part of the base will not show up on election day.
Reagan agreed to 1 dollar in taxes for every 2 dollars in cuts. They passed the taxes immediately, but somehow the cuts never happened. So why would anyone think the 10 dollars in cuts would?
But apparently those fools thought that spending shouldn't go lower even though they claimed the opposite.
Means none of them gave a crap about the deficit, even though they claimed they did.
nonsense like that got Obama back in office, voters could see it.
Isn't that power given to congress in budgeting?
so are taxes
point?
The headline...taken on “face value”
is HILARIOUS!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Everyone knows that another Bush can't possibly win, no matter what he says or does.
