I knew something was coming.
Frank Wolf (RINO-VA) was on the house floor railing against Norquist and the tax pledge a couple weeks ago.
You misspelled "scumbucket".
I still like Buffet’s solution for deficit reduction the best: Any year in which there is a budget deficit, all of the members of the current House and Senate may not run for reelection.
How long do you think it would take to fix the deficit with this in place?
We the people are NOT willing to bail out our failed politicians and their hair brained schemes...I say sell off Washington to chip away at the debt..and block the federal G from raising any money, state balanced budget requirements would give DC surplus for specific programs...tie the beast up tight
Smokescreen for raising taxes and fair share mental mentality.
When Dems sign a cost cutting pledge, it is only to effect higher taxes to “spread the pain”.
Perhaps the SuperCommittee of American Citizens needs to “Occupy the Capitol” if these birdbrains don’t get the job done.
Occupation can work two ways.
Guess I’m not seeing the problem here, other than the fact the SuperDuper Central Committee exists because the RINOs caved.
$4T of the right types of cuts will save the country. If, IF the republicans can continue to expound upon their tiny spurt of spinal growth and take a lesson from the last election cycle, we may just get the cuts we want.
Pubbies couldn’t even come up with $100 Billion in cuts they promised pre-election, so where are they intending on finding $4 Trillion?
Or how far across the decades will they kick that can?
2) If Chaka Fattah is a signer it's likely a bad idea.
The biggest concern is that they do nothing and Defense gets whacked for another 600 Billion. That should be the most important thing to avoid!
In other words: more/higher taxes.
Wonder who will be called upon to "pay their fair share?"
It should be automatically assumed that any congressperson recommending “revenue” increases as part of a deficit reduction package has NO intention of cutting spending.
“Everything is on the table” = raise taxes and cut defense. Claim billions in “savings” in welfare/foodstamps by reducing fraud and upgrading computerized systems.
Et tu Ron Paul?
Is the super committee like the czars? Even though they are elected; how come they are seem like they are representing the government rather than the people? Is this some new type of government and what is it modeled after?
axxholes! Reducing the deficit by raising taxes is no answer at all. Just more of the same old crap.
Gives ya a warm feeeling,, right in the old pocketbook.
Extra-Congressional legislation is illegal.
Are you surprised?
