There is plenty of room to cut, the problem is that what needs to be cut is what each side cares about the most. We have ended one war and the other will be over next year, defense spending should be dropping massively, but Republicans don't want to cut it. The Social Security and Medicare age should also be raised, because people are living longer, but Democrats don't want to cut that. The only solution is for them to make deals that hurts both sides, like the recent sequester.

See... NOW we're getting somewhere.  Finally someone who can look at the situation objectively, and not come from a biased viewpoint where you're looking at things from the angle of your political party affiliation or blind love of individual politicians for no apparent reason.

In the 1930's our debt was way worse and we went on a spending program that got us out of debt. Because one thing that low information voters don't understand is a GOvernment Create markets. Without them you can't have one. It is not like a house hold or a business but if you have went to college like I have you would have already known that. 

Dear low information voter,

Read this.


Dear Badgenome.

Your SO funny.

I don't need to you read your two word sound bites. I study Economics and am taking a class in that and political science. If anything My class has taught me that this site is full of extremely low information and your articles from the Koch brothers are great but not for me.

The american debt is already nearing critical mass. There's little anyone could do right now to stall it.

Yes, no republican has gone to college since every republican is a low information voter

Ask for a refund, IMO.

Better yet... don't ask for a refund.  Better if you dump your tuition funds back into the economy.  At least then some good is coming of it.

Thread title is extremely ignorant of the actual situation. lol. Not to mention whoever wrote this article is clearly a member of the Democratic Party or at the very least an extremely biased person who writes care-free with a deliberate leftist slant.

This is from a website called ThinkProgress. That title screams left wing nuts.


Yep us on the left like to think and usually are more educated than people on the right. The right is good at 2 word sound bites and thats about it. LOL  FUnny you recognize. LOL

Yes, people on the left are so educated. But generally lack common sense and beg for handouts. Go figure.

Purchasing for purchasing's sake and then counting that as growth is a large part of the problem.

So uh

The Republicans are narrow-minded to bring a country to a paralysing crisis setting that lowers confidence in government, and:
The Democrats are too weak to propose anything bold at all
