Has the debt ever been 16 trillion before? If you think spending more money that we don't have is progress............
Whats wrong with not raising taxes? Perhaps the government needs to spend less........
both need to happen, I suggesting that the number is trivial now, all of a sudden there is this big fucking deal that risks America's credit rating, you truly think the GOP did that for the country? no, they did it to fuck Obama, it's so silly.
the rich need to pay more taxes, the middle class who spend the majority of their income need breaks, it's simple economics. Rich people have too much money, they don't spend it, they horde it in offshore accounts free from taxation. It's socialism, they made the money in the US they should contribute back at the same rate as those struggling to make ends meet. Welfare should be temporary with goals that must be reached, like a job in a certain period or reductions, searching for jobs or education. Food stamps the same way, encourage growth. Offer incentives for job creation, tax breaks for number of employees, decrease government spending on programs that are inane and foster hoboness. Stop trickle down supply side bullshit and put the economy back in the hands of those who will invest in it, those that spend their income providing demand. It's quite simple.
