What Treasury? US Treasury is $18,000,000,000,000 in recorded debt and $100,000,000,000,000 in unfunded promised future benefits.
Nope that is not the reason why Boehner & company won’t tackle Trillion dollar problems. If they tried that, they will need to institute belt tightening for all....and that will not be popular. So the politicians will continue kicking the can down the road as long as possible, so they can hold on to the power, keep getting re-elected and enrich themselves in the process. How do you think Harry Reid became a multi-millionaire?.
I believe once they get elected they realize there’s nothing that can be done. Those elected who are decent keep fighting anyway or don’t run again and go home. The rest join the team and start cashing in.
I could honestly give a dead rat’s arsche for why Boehnor and the establishment care not for addressing these and many more problems. Their agenda is not about doing the tough things but instead about doing as much for them personally.
All we need is people like David Brat and Ted Cruz to do what is tough and not insane.
Minor belt tightening like wiping out the government class dependencies. Major tax relief in the way of wiping out capital gains, reducing or even eliminating corporate income tax, especially on small business. Remove the EPA, DEA and DOE. Anything to get our taxes back into State Houses and not go directly to DC to be laundered.
Put just these into play and let free enterprise flourish with the expansion it allows, especially in the manufacturing sector, which in turn creates jobs, which in turn creates personal taxable revenue combined with a total rewrite of the IRS to be a sales tax recipient for the Treasury.
Listen to David Brat more, your wizards of smart less and we can topple the establishment party just as he toppled the past House Majority Leader with only spending $100,000 total for his campaign.
