My argument is where to begin, not that cuts are needed. It is political stupidity of the highest order to begin a negotiation with the enemy (and the Marxists who want it ALL are our enemy) by ceding that “well maybe we producers do need maybe to pay a little bit more in taxes.”
Anyone, and I mean anyone who is that stupid is too stupid to post on FRee Republic.
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid take up a combined 43% of the federal budget today; these programs are all mainly utilized by retirees. Over the next few years the percentage is set to explode to a much higher rate as the boomers retire.
Don't you think these programs would be a good starting point??? It is political stupidity of the highest order to begin a negotiation with the enemy (and the Marxists who want it ALL are our enemy) by ceding that “well maybe we producers do need maybe to pay a little bit more in taxes.”
You are letting yourself get distracted. The impact of not making painful choices will impact dems, repubs, marxists, capitalists, etc... equally. We will all be in the poor house. Focus on the economics and it makes the politics simple.
