  1. The debt was spiraling out of control long before the recent toxicity you bipolar stupid fuck. Much of the deficit and upcoming deficit spending is due to mandatory spending which is often bipartisan. The you scratch my back I'll scratch yours pork barrel spending also contributes to it. Please take your meds...a whole bottle of them.
  2. Whoosh. So hilarious I'm inside that ugly, pony tale haired head of yours.
  3. Fact is federal state and local govt collected around $9.5 trillion in taxes last year (est to be $10.4 trillion in 2024). That's almost $29K per person. Considering a significant portion of the population is under say 17 and pays in very little and around 50% of the population pays no federal income taxes and in fact gets money back for the EICC somebody is paying govt a fuck ton of money. Just highlights where the problem is.....spending. Note about 74 million are under 18. That means in 2024 we will collect almost $40,650 per person for the remaining 257 million people. It boggles the mind. That is far more than enough to make govt fulfill its responsibilities.
  4. Which Boomers? You don't fall into the "fair share" crowd do you?
  5. I'm not in favor of increased revenue thru taxes. Govt loves budgets that go out a decade. Should be no problem cutting spending by 25% over the next 10 years. Some pain yes but it has to be done.
  6. Can't stop but can be cut and over time it can be reigned in. Nobody in their right mind doesn't think there would be some short term pain with austerity.
  7. Its a large part of it. Cut spending and taxes. Govt spending does not lead to long term economic growth. If it did then every govt in the world could spend their way to higher GDP than spending itself caused.
  8. Funny in 2018 it was a myth. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/despite-what-youve-heard-global-warming-isnt-making-weather-more-extreme/
  9. What some in the world seem to forget about the US economy.
  10. You do understand the Laffer curve correct? Its virtually impossible for govt or any of its analysis groups to pinpoint where the point of negative returns so to speak comes from taxes. The kind of tax increases without absolute massive spending cuts needed to make an impact would likely cause more harm than good.
  11. I'll give you one thing....you got about as much false hope in govt as Noggin use to when he said people would evolve into communists.
  12. The disease is real but its not caused by the virus.
  13. Bipartisanship has led to us being $33 Trillion in debt. Obviously it isn't working.
  14. 2nd time a dem candidate has escaped prosecution because of "intent."
  15. He's absolutely correct. It was a lie.
  16. Pickings must be slim. I would assume they are at least interested considering he released their names.
  17. Logan was excellent. Kind of like Rogue One was of the star wars series when it made the sci-fi feel more...."real."
  18. I'm sure afj has the answer.
  19. Light, Reliable, Cheap. Pick any 2. Polaris gives out free stop rides and recalls as well.
