slow growth is not permanent. debt fueled growth is a thing of the past.
taking more dollars out of the economy to pay down debt will further slow the economy. its a pandora's box almost.
and again, reagan was villified for getting a democrat controlled congress to agree to cut taxes. none of the experts thought there was any chance of it working.
the answer is growth
higher taxes kill growth
lower taxes broaden the tax base through job creation
we have something like 98 million job age people out of the workforce
what if we added 30 million back?
but wholeheartedly agree with you an spending. somewhere sometime spending has to be contained or frozen.
balancing the budget is not magic. I believe it takes 7 years of level spending to get there. social programs today are on a short road to ruin. we all know that. GWB was castigated by democrats for bringing up the sustainability of social security and he dropped it like a hot rock
all the more reason to vote trump
he is the best chance for change we have this election
a very flawed candidate
hillary will be more of the same that got us here
here's the reason why i believe her to be unfit
back when bill was elected she was responsible for firing the white house travel staff so her friends could get the business
she lied about it before admitting it
but she basically upended the lives of 7 people who had no skin in the game
could not have cared less about career service people who had served multiple administrations, whether they needed jobs, cared about their families
she has no compassion and then strives to avoid accountability
edit: here's one more statistic. We have all time record federal income tax receipts. and we will run a 1.4 trillion deficit. taxes collections are not the problem and never have been. it's the spending
and it was the decade of decadence because of the growth unleashed by tax cuts
