Without considering inflation, the likely rapid increases in spending due to unfunded liabilities, or the inevitable increases in interest rates, the US government is on track to spend roughly $40 trillion over the next 10 years while adding $15 Trillion to the debt ... and they can only cut $1 trillion made up mostly of accounting gimicks, and promise to cut $1.2 trillion more that will (most likely) never be implemented or will made up of accounting gimicks

Exactly, the whole thing is just a joke.

but dont you know the people who only pay 50% of the United tates tax burden need to pay their fair share, we need to make it 60% or 70% or more, its only fair. we need a balanced aproach, right

In other words, RAISE taxes on those who have less money and cut for those who have more?

...Or recognize that the biggest earners are already paying their fair share (the top 1% pay 60% of income taxes), and that we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
