I'm not sure that I understand your solutions. Are you suggesting that taxes be raised; reduction in defense spending and/or cutting social spending?
My view is that the real problem that America has is income inequality. When we look at countries with a thriving middle-class they are countries that have high taxes on wealth and strong unions that fight for wages and benefits. America used to have strong unions -- and when it did, wages were higher. Since then, wages have lagged the increase in income that goes to the elite.
America used to have strong unions --
It cannot be real times of War, if the right wing believes we can employ, Tax Cut Economics.
Can you have your mother explain to us what that means in logical English? You had promised you'd were working on your English. What happened?
lol. this is why, nobody takes the right wing seriously about economics.
nobody takes the right wing seriously because you speak english badly as a 3rd language? Does make sense to anyone on earth except you?
It did work, except as usual they ****ed it up with spending. We have a spending problem.
Under Bush tax cuts, revenue rose by 200bn prior to recession, Spending rose by 600bn
Under Reagan , revenue rose by 300bn. Spending rose by 500bn
All they had to do was slow down spending, and revenue would have caught up. Same as now. Same as we did under Obama with the sequester.
until the strong unions drove their own jobs off shore and destroyed the American middle class. Shall we bring back the unions and drive even more Americans to Walmart 7-11 Jobs and opiate suicide?? Notice how deadly the liberal policies always are?
reducing govt spending lowers taxes and stimulates private economy. if all we had to do was tax and spend for growth we'd never have economic problems again! Private spending and private inventions got us from stone age to here, not monopoly soviet spending on bubbles that burst. You have learned this 46 times now. Must we go for 47?
don't be commie please poor kids in America are more likely to be fat than starving
Anyone with an accurate memory of the Reagan administration knows that it was not a time for bold new domestic spending programs. The only program that was expanded was the military.

for some reason Reagan wanted to win the cold war and eliminate the threat of nuclear annilation. Go figure.
. Go figure!
Why cut taxes?
obviously to shrink govt!!!!
lol. only the right wing is that simple.
Founders were not simple. They studied all of human history and learned that big govt was the source of evil. Do you understand?
so? the right wing can end the drug war.
so? any one can end a war by surrendering, so???
ending the drug war, lowers our tax burden;
so??? did someone disagree??? are you in kindergarten?
This thread is a crack up. We have a spending problem...and it’s all YOUR fault. ****ing Democrats AND Republicans. There isn’t a dimes difference between them. We DO have a spending problem and it’s BOTH parties fault. Left and right you are all a bunch of toddlers with a blank checkbook and no personal responsibility.

The entire premise of this thread, namely, that debt is necessarily bad and the cause of the current debt is too much spending and not insufficient revenue, is fatally flawed.
Slash taxes creating a revenue crisis, then claim spending problem.
Too predictable.
