    Coburn to Offer $9 Trillion Budget-Cut Plan to Spur Debt Talks

    The deficit is $1.56 trillion this year, I believe. Over a trillion last year. So... I guess that means it will keep growing.

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    I wasn't talking about restoring a "time period," I was talking about restoring the constitutional limits of government. If you want to attribute that to a time-period, it would have been pre-Sept 11th. We didn't have the two major issues that I feel are problems, the excessive constitutional...

    Palin is going to... shoot the budget deficit. :(

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    Not just someone, but "everyone." Everyone who calls themselves an American needs to step up and do the right thing.

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    I don't think anyone said that. But every President in the last hundred years has contributed to the problem. It just takes electing one President with principles who will undo the failed neoconservative policies perpetuated under Presidents Bush and Obama. It would just take one person who...

    Republican has the guts to call for tax-increases

    We increase the debt by a over trillion dollars a year, so that alone would not solve the problem. It also needs to be met with massive cuts to our budget to decrease the 14 trillion debt and promote long term economic stability. This plan alone would still increase the deficit by half a...

    Coburn to Offer $9 Trillion Budget-Cut Plan to Spur Debt Talks

    $9 trillion over the next ten years? Do you realize that we increase the debt by 1 trillion each year? That's 10 trillion in the next ten years. Therefore, it's not feasible because it's NOT enough in spending reductions. This is basic math, people.

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    I have no problem with this. But we also have to address our dysfunctional system of allowing ever expanding unconstitutional Presidential and congressional power, and our broken financial policies of printing debt-currency, increasing the debt limit to pay for more debt and rewarding people who...

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    The Treasury has money coming in and we will be able to pay the debt interest with or without raising the debt limit. We might have to spend less on our endless wars, or foreign aid, or corporate welfare, or Homeland security, or Patriot Act apparatus, but we have the funds (something useless)...

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    Yes. The US devalues it's the USD by printing debt-based currency and flooding banks with it. Acquiring massive debt exasperates this problem. The US could met it's obligations and not plunge itself into endless debt, endless wars and endless recessions in a demoralized society. We don't need...

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    In a poll option, not as part of my argument.

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    How about aiming for a balanced budget? There's a start. How about restraining the government with the Constitution? That would be grand.

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    Every time we vote, that's a minor revolution. The poll options are just there to get a sense of what people are thinking. Obviously the easiest and simplest solution should be tried first, that's common sense. But the remaining options, if that should fail do get more drastic as time goes on...

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    I'll stand alongside anyone who shares my goals and vision for restoring Liberty.

    At what point will the US reach the point of no return?

    The promise to return our government to constitutional, fiscally responsible and liberty status has not materialized. We the People have to take political action.
