Tell you what. If there are ACTUAL spending cuts (not this “cut in the rate of growth” bs), I would be willing to take a tax hike.
Ball’s in your court, Obammy!
“I would be willing to take a tax hike.”
If you are willing to have a tax hike then by all means send the Treasury Dept a big fat check. Make it 99% of your gross annual income if you would like. Timmy Geitner will gladly accept it. Just keep your hands, and especially the government’s hands, out of my pocket. NO NEW TAXES of any kind. Increased taxes of any kind just feed the rabid beast. The beast needs to starved.
It does indeed look as if these are actual spending cuts. It cuts 1% off our base budget each year (if I said that correctly) as opposed to saving on projected costs with inflated prices down the road.
Amazing, and so simple too. Who would have thought!
Oh, and I explained to FerociousRabbit that I really didn’t think you wanted a tax hike and were only exhibiting an enormous amount of joy at which time he agreed! :)
We’re all good here!
