“...just begun”
We haven’t seen anything yet, Obamacare is going to require such massive funding it will change everything. The longer it’s in place, the more it will require. Can you say good-bye to a strong DOD?
Well, the Obama policy for four years hit his voters hard...high unemployment, lower wages, higher cost of living, higher insurance costs, more on food stamps and welfare. They were successfully convinced it was someone else’s fault. I have no doubt they’ll continue to fall for the same lies, sadly enough. Maybe enough people are willing to rightly blame him four years from now to go a different direction, but I doubt it. Even if it happens, 80+% of those hit hard will still vote Democrat.
This is the beginning. Folding your retirement accounts and pension (if you have one) into the SS system is next.
As the saying goes... get your money out of the country before your country gets your money out of you.
RE: get your money out of the country before your country gets your money out of you.
Thousands of the “rich” Americans did just that and placed their money in Swiss Bank accounts.
Did them little good. In fact it made them target for IRS prosecution.
The Swiss simply folded to the IRS and revealed their accounts.
Romney had part of his money in the Caymans. The newspapers outed it anyway.
Elections have consequences.
If America wanted a leader, they’d have elected one. The government they deserve.

The prosecuted ones are the ones who did not report their foreign holdings. It is not illegal to have a foreign bank account or brokerage. You must report it. They did not. RINOmney did.
So, you have a foreign bank account, you reported it. It then becomes liable for taxation...
How does that help with this : “get your money out of the country before your country gets your money out of you.”?
You get your money out of the country and the country gets the money out of you anyway.
spending needs to be paid for
RE: spending needs to be paid for
Only the following choices I can think of:
1) Tax
2) Borrow
3) Print
If anyone else has another way of paying for government spending, I am all ears.
That reminds me of years ago, in the 90’s, when I was going to board a plane and two burly agents pulled a man aside and asked him if he was carrying over $10,000 in cash. The man hadn’t and they let him go to ask another person the same thing.

And today’s GOP compains about all 3 ways to pay for government spending. As we are in a demand-driven slowdown/recession slashing spending from the only entity doing any real spending, the government, is not what needs to happen right now.
There’s enough slack in the economy to allow more printing of money without having to worry about inflation but I think the wiser course is to pay for the spending through tax collections. Fiscal responsibility does not mean spending cuts only, which seems to be the current stance of the GOP.
Well I don’t know about you, but I’m tapped out. If you wanna give the govt more of your hard-earned income to squander on pork and other pet projects, by all means, go right ahead. Don’t presume to speak for me, however.
Why?
(now THERE is a stupid question)
- because he can (and will)
and there is NOTHING (You and I can do) because there is nobody (besides myself and a few others) who are willing to stand up and attempt to take this country back.
The government has no problem losing money on Bank and GM bailouts then hitting up the taxpayer for the money. I am surprised no one has figured this out. The Bankers are taking over the country and our pocket book.
wat?
Drivel. Sounds like you agree with 0 that you can spend and tax your way out of debt. No thanks!
Here’s your quote: “There’s enough slack in the economy to allow more printing of money without having to worry about inflation but I think the wiser course is to pay for the spending through tax collections.

You seem to be a-okay with increasing our tax burden. I’m not.
Clear enough?
