Truth.Everyonne is gonna say cut spending then throw a fit when programs that affect their family gets cut.
Anybody who doesn’t say to do both is not a real conservative but a RINO
Or cuts in their Congressional districts.Everyonne is gonna say cut spending then through a fit when programs that effect their family get cut.
Anyone who says tax the rich which actually means tax everyone and everything is a Democrat.Anybody who doesn’t say to do both is not a real conservative but a RINO
I would cut the military a lot more than that. Time to close a lot of foreign bases and cut back on number of carrier groups.The first step should be to cut military spending by the exact amount Trump redirected to his wall.
Clearly that money wasn’t needed for what it was intended for.
Oh, I agree completely. I was simply using that money as a starting point.I would cut the military a lot more than that. Time to close a lot of foreign bases and cut back on number of carrier groups.
Tell the rest of the free world to protect themselves. Free lunch for them is s big reason the debt is insane.
Chances are both, but until you cut spending, which will mostly consist of more efficient spending (reduction of red tape, etc.) rather than cutting actual services, a tax hike is just an excuse to continue wasteful spending.
At one point Trump promised to focus on making government more efficient. If this has happened, it's lost on me. IMO it would be an excellent first step. Then after a couple years of real focus on lean government, we'll be in a much better position to determine where more funding is needed, and the case for raising taxes can be made much more palatable. The problem today is that everyone running for office (GOP and DEM) wants to spend more, not focus on spending what we have more efficiently.
As much as social programs are a staple for the Dems, military spending is for the GOP. It would take a change in philosophy before either side works to enact some real action.I would cut the military a lot more than that.

We’re cool with that.Anyone who says tax the rich which actually means tax everyone and everything is a Democrat.

For all the grief Obama took for the auto companies bailout, (that was a problem he inherited from Bush II) did you know that the current bailout of farmers is over 2x that amount? And they (farmers) want more.As much as social programs are a staple for the Dems, military spending is for the GOP.

And don't forget that the Auto industry repaid their bailout Monies. Are farmers going to do the same thing? I have yet to see that mentioned anywhere.For all the grief Obama took for the auto companies bailout, (that was a problem he inherited from Bush II) did you know that the current bailout of farmers is over 2x that amount? And they (farmers) want more.
And every single penny is because of Trump’s tariffs and his giving 35 refineries subsidies to quit refining ethanol and focus on fossil fuel refining.
If we are gonna cut welfare, let’s cut it across the board. Corporations as well as people.

No. Not both.Both, duh.
How would you suggest slowing down the deficit train?
Neither party is going to cut spending. They dont want to be the bad parent.
Freeze spending is all I ask. Move money around but spend no more.
Do that and I could get behind a 1% sales tax to pay down debt.
At least if you freeze spending the growing economy will help increase revenue without increasing spending.Apparently you didn't realize that we would need a 10% sales tax on all retail sales just to pay the annual interest accruing on the current debt load and obviously nothing would be available to pay down the principal under that scenario.
Nice try though.

Is that 10% a real number? If so, we might already be fugged.
