You are so right about taxes. Of course the next step is asking if a balanced budget will help the people or not. Will the benefits end up with the banksters? I do think we could balance this budget in one year of belt tightening and sacrifice, but then what? Our manufacturing is still being done in Communist China and the GOP is against any tariffs.
The GOP needs to wake up. The tea party movement is about to leave their uselss butts in the dust. Most of them are going to get sent home if they don’t adopt fiscal responsibility and stop allowing the democrap machine to dole out anything the unions demand. Manufacturing is dirt cheap in foreign countries because our unions have driven the labor costs (not just wages, retirement and medical, etc are throught he roof) beyond reason. Congress could devise incentives for manufacturing to come back to the US but there must also be accompanying changes in union thggery demands. ... Don’t hold your breath. We The People are purposely being made into a services nation, rather than have the manufacturing strength to tell the rest of the corrupted socialist world to go pound Saudi sand.
We need to have tariffs to product our own industry. We had them almost two hundred years, and did pretty well.
But that will not happen. The tax increases will, and Obambi will get another term.
