SNIP...Republicans are finding it's one thing to issue a blanket promise to cut spending, an entirely different matter when you actually take the scissors to $1 of every $6 spent by agencies like the IRS, the FBI, NASA and the National Park Service. Federal layoffs would be unavoidable, the White House warns.

“...the Dem voterbase will be heading to the suburbs to take what they believe that they have a “Right” to........”

Yes, but the 14 Trillion dollars, and growing, of US debt will adversely affect 300 Million people in the USA, and Billions of people around the world.
Her struggle to de-socialize started with taking on the powerful unions. With unemployment at 30% in some cities, the battle was literally bloody, to say the least.
In order to get govt spending under control, the immediate result is unemployment. Do the Republicans have the stomach to boldly do what she did? She gritted her teeth and forged on with her unpopular policies. It's one of the reasons she became known as "The Iron Lady".
You need to read about her story. It is highly pertinent to our time, and the current predicament the Repubs find themselves:
"There is no Alternative: Why Margaret Thatcher Matters" by Claire Berlinski, Basic Books, 2008. An amazing account of an amazing conservative.
It’s good to be prepared.
Gee, I wonder how the “word got out they were giving out money”. Twitter? Facebook? Text message?
Yeah, all these “poor” people I’m sure had one if not all of these available.
Yep. They need to find $1,400billion in cuts or the ten count starts on America and the rest of the free world.
Layoffs? What is needed is permanent discharges. End these wasteful government pensions too
And 14 trillion dollars in debt will not affect people?
The federal government employs over 2.5 MILLION people and it costs hundreds of BILLIONS to employ them (and even tens of billions more that they waste). And everyone knows that there are literally hundreds of thousands of jobs that could be eliminated and no one except the “worker” would ever know it.
Start with the 6 billion we give to the UN every year. Eliminate billions in foreign aid and voila...problem solved
Not enough, not even close.
SS Medicare and Defense need to be cut by about 30% to make room for the rest cut by about 50% to prevent the fall of the United States.
I’m not worried that Liberals and Moderates don’t understand what needs to be done to save this country. I am worried that Conservatives don’t.

There, I just cut around $500 billion to 1 Trillion or so, in the last 10 minutes. See 0b0z0 & the demturds & RINOs? And you thought it couldn't be done.
Where is that? What is it about?
Same old story - - nothing is said when the ticks vote in their Democrat politicians to confiscate money from me and other productive taxpayers at gunpoint so that it may be handed over to them in exchange for their votes, but when I and other taxpayers vote in politicians who will swat the grabbing hands away from our pockets, we are “effecting millions of people”.
Funny how the ticks and their politicians are never “effecting millions of people” when they confiscate their money.
