Simple Health Care Math - (Obama/Dem Health Plan going down)

[Decker]

And those economies are just doing great right?

No economy is booming at the moment.

[Decker]

Ok Decker - HOW DO WE PAY FOR ANOTHER TRILLION DOLLAR GOVT PROGRAM?

When we had the will to kill a few thousand brown people, conquer their country, and spend hundreds of billions to that end, we had no problem raising the funds.

NOw that we are on the track of caring for our own, the well is suddenly dry?

IF it were up to me, I'd slash defense spending by 60% for the next year, raise corporate taxes and taxes on individuals (not households) earning over 100,000 a year with the largest increase on those earning 330,000 a year.  I would kill corporate welfare, close tax loopholes and anything else I can think of to raise revenue during a crisis such as this.

It's a good thing it's not up to you.

Ok, considering that Obama is not proposing those things, and the CBO says it will cost far more than they are projecting:

HOW DO WE PAY FOR THIS??

Thanks for the captain obvious retort.

Lighten up man. You know I got respect for ya. You're usually right when you're not wrong but mostly you make no sense.

I thought I was joking.

I think I've had enough.

Being that the U.S has one of the highest rates of corporate taxation in the world, that would be a further economic hit.  If we kill private industry, we kill the majority of the jobs in this country.  Any plan to raise corporate tax is disasterous.

The key is to cut spending across the board....including defence spending.

You mention social security, which may be efficient, but even that program will run out of money faster than we planned.  Which is another reason why we must cut spending (we need to save this program).

SS is a disaster.  Too many promises based upon a flawed model.

This is somewhat of an impossible statement, since the world economy is in theory a closed system than losses on side are gains on the other side.

Anyway, free Iran!
