Government consumption/spending=Consumption/Spending *pats hands* We have plenty of credit flowing around (due to the Fed's infusion of it into the banks and the increased spending by American consumers). Ending the tax cuts for the rich won't kill investment. If you don't want to end the tax cuts for the rich in return for increased spending, at least do it in return for a larger tax cut for the lower and middle class. Keep tax cuts for the poor and middle class, end the Bush tax cuts, increase spending, rebuild our infrastructure (has to be done anyway, might as well use this as an opportunity), impose modest reformations on Medicare and Medicaid and BOOM! You fucking fix the economy, and solve America's long and short term debt problems. |
Agreed, and we could probably do even more if they cut Military spending, something that is never brought up during these talks but needs to be. The excessive amount of money we spend on it is ridiculous. You dont even have to cut the technology part of it, just get rid of the large amount of soldiers sitting on foreign bases that have no need to be there.
