Revenue's Up, and So's the Deficit!
« on: April 13, 2015, 04:22:17 PM »
We don't have a revenue problem - we have a spending problem. Plain and simple.

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/cbo-feds-taxing-more-spending-more-running-bigger-deficit-2015

But instead of the media confronting Hillary about this, expect them to pepper the GOP hopefuls about whether they'd support "$1 in tax increases for every $10 in spending cuts" etc. The idea that we can tax our way out of the massive annual deficits is a LIE.

How much control over spending does Hillary currently have?  Seems like the SOS has very little

You don't have to have a first choice. Cut everything, defense included.

Isn't that what Obama did with sequestration?

The great sequestration "cuts" only slightly reduced the rate of growth in spending. That's not an actual cut.

As for Obama's hand in the sequestration - he offered it as a poison pill. His strategy was to force the GOP to accept a package of tax increases and spending cuts by presenting the sequester as the only alternative. He assumed the GOP would never accept the sequester, but they did.

So way to go Obama for stumbling bassackwards into temporarily reducing the rate of spending growth...

But it's still increasing. And we're still averaging nearly trillion dollar annual deficits.

I view sequestration as a huge failure that is costing the economy billions of dollars, but I guess some people can support just about anything.

When you announce you are running for president, the media tends to ask you questions about what you view as problems and how you would fix them. But, as a I said, the media won't try to pin Hillary down on this. Instead, they'll try to paint the GOP as extremists by asking those candidates the "$1 for $10" scenario, just like they did last election, when raising taxes is indisputably not the solution to our deficits.

Are you referring only to the sequestration, or do you generally believe that cutting spending "costs our economy"? If the answer is yes, then do you have a solution to balancing our budget (I don't see how that's possible), or do you just not give a crap about our debt increasing by nearly double, or a cool $10 trillion, during Obama's 8 years?

I think the government should either maintain its property or sell it. Cutting maintenance funding and holding onto the interstates, lakes, reservoirs, and national parks is just stupid.

Agree we need to cut spending, a lot.

Disagree $3-4T is a revenue problem. Only a mongoloid would think that.
