How did we manage to have a highly successful prosperous orderly society prior to LBJ imposing his Federal takeover of everything with his “great society” in the late 1960s?
The argument you advanced was that cutting ANYTHING from the Fed Budget “reduces us to 1900 era levels of protection”.
Try and explain the massive contradiction between what you said and the facts.
For once answer the point, do not just keep spewing more hyper hysteric shrill demagoguery, ignorant slogans and lies.
No I’m saying cutting 33% of the federal budget, while leaving Defense, Debt, Social Security and Medicare untouched will drop us into 1900 levels of protection.
If you think it’s no problem privatizing the National Parks, doing away with the VA, closing down the FDA, getting rid of Medicaid, getting rid of federally subsidized hurricane insurance, shutting down NASA, etc...
As responsible adults we have to make choices, we have to decide what is worth paying for and what is not worth paying for.
So if we refuse to cut Defense, if we refuse to cut Social Security (not privatize, but cut), if we refuse to cut Medicare and we refuse to raise taxes that means we have to balance the budget on NASA, on the VA, on the National Parks, on the FDA.
Stop living in some fantasy world where we can have this level of government services, low taxes, strong defense and no deficit.
We have to make choices,
Is NASA worth an increase in taxes?
Are National Parks worth an increase in taxes?
Are food stamps worth an increase in taxes?
Is the FDA worth an increase in Taxes?
Is the FBI worth an increase in Taxes?
Is the VA worth an increase in Taxes?
And we can go down the line. And if we have to remove every federal program, every social safety net then we have to say, I’m willing to take the risks.
If Balancing the budget was easy, don’t you think the Republicans would have done that from 2000-2006?
