10 things about our new budget

[dvs909]

It's a very valid point. Look, I'm a conservative but flat taxes won't work either. How do you come up with that number that everyone has to pay? What if a person can't pay that number? It's not a black and white thing man.. plenty of gray in there.

so the solution is to rape the rich minority? what the government is doing is blatant theft. Say the flat tax is 10%. If you can't afford to save 10 percent of what you make for the government, there is a serious, SERIOUS issue in your spending habits.

The idea that we Americans are ENTITLED to have a TV, Cell Phone etc. is ridiculous. Go listen to Dave Ramsey America, if you can't pay cash for it. don't buy it.

The Government is just enabling irresponsible spending, which is what got us into this mess.

Do you need to use such language to pass your idea? Or you're in a rush of your teenage hormones?

Lee, I mean really, what the hell. This thread is about the budget of the United States of America. If you feel so compelled to participate, just move down here.

Until then, keep selling brake kits, drinking shitty beer and getting free health care from those underqualified retards you call "doctors". And leave this thread alone.

lol wut

The rich are the minority, and they can't do anything to protect themselves from the poor voting against there interests.
Its not in the poors interests to take money from the rich, that has been proved not to help anyone.

Basically the rich vote aka the minority can't protect itself from the poor vote, aka the majority.

this is simplified. ill elaborate when you make a dumbass statement.

False. They have a pretty good handle on it, actually.

...what?

Basically the rich vote aka the minority can't protect itself from the poor vote, aka the majority.

Have you been alive in the last eight years?

Forget it. You have such a poor grasp on reality that attempting to communicate with you is pointless.

I told my gf I was getting a Blackberry Bold. She asked why. I told her because it had the interweb, and my email. She was like "great, just what you need".

I really need to get rid of her.

Not always true. Remember Ted Turner, the über mega media mogul?

"In 1998, Turner pledged to donate $1 billion of his then $3 billion to United Nations causes, and created the United Nations Foundation to administer the gift. The foundation "builds and implements public-private partnerships to address the world’s most pressing problems, and broadens support for the UN through advocacy and public outreach." In 2006, the foundation delivered its billionth dollar to UN causes — $600m of which came from Turner and $400m from public and private partners. Turner has pledged to use the remaining $400m of his commitment to leverage additional funds for UN causes and activities."

Yes, but that was to avoid even more money down the tubes in the form of taxes. Plus, since he is a bleeder, he is stroking both his ego and his guilt for making so much money. Lots of former hippies (well, like Marines, there is no such thing as former), went out and made their wads in the 80's and 90's. Now they are secure and they want to make sure everybody else supports their born-again socialist ideas. Never mind that it was the free market, and a long period of general economic improvement brought on by decreased government intervention in the economy that enabled them to get rich in the first place.

Kronus, you simply don't understand. The concept that the government must spend money to reverse a poor economic environment is fundamentally flawed. Not even Keynes believed that to be the case. All three major schools of economics refute what Obama and Congress are doing. It cannot and will not work. This crisis (and it is a crisis) was just an excuse for Pelosi, Reed and Obama to get everything going that they wanted to do over the next 4 years. Now he can start on the stuff that he wanted for his second 4 years. You've been had. And, against all evidence to the contrary, you still seem to believe that they have crafted a brilliant "stimulus" plan. It is simply gross government overspending.

Don't keep pointing back at Bush and saying "Oh, yeah!". Remember, Bush didn't have a majority in Congress to work with. He signed bills he shouldn't have to try and "mend fences" and be bipartisan. Bah, he screwed the pooch with that stuff. But it doesn't matter in our discussion here. Two wrongs don't make a right. And, BTW, by pointing at the previous administration and saying "well, they did it" is implying that what Bush did was right.

BTW, the money spent in Iraq may actually get us somewhere someday. The least of which it did was removed a vicious genocidal dictator from office and freed a nation. What they do with it from here on out is their deal. It wasn't money wasted. This shit in this latest bill is money wasted.
