Would you support this idea on the Debt Limit and Balanced Budget?

Eliminate all deductions, instantly raise $1.2t, let the Bush tax cuts expire raising $400 billion a year, cut defense by $400 billion a year

I'd trade that to cap medicare growth at the rate of inflation

That's $800 billion a year of surplus (even more when the economy recovers), once we pay off the debt we lower tax rates for everyone (probably more like 1.4t in surplus after the economy recovers, so you're looking at paying off the debt in 10 years)
 
Well, you Liberals hate wars anyway, this would make just about every war an unpopular one. It sure would cut down on the endless stream of "wars" this country seems to get into. What's your problem with it?
 
Everyone


Imagine the US is a crazy materialistic housewife. She runs up credit carRAB, buys fancy cars, vacations....all on credit. Then all she can do is barely make the minimum payment on that credit.

Is the solution to try and find a way to get more money (cuts/tax wealthy) into her hanRAB ....her irresponsible hanRAB...or to put a bullet in her head.



Its really simple - 14.3 trillion dollars later our government says there is a problem. They dont need more money. Thats it. It has been proven that they have no solution, or intention, to fix this problem.
 
Well they sure as shit aren't making "double payments" to actually lower their debt. Not to mention, they had to borrow more just to avoid a default.

So one could argue that they are just barely making minimum payments.
 
Even after cutting $400 billion, we'd still spend about twice as much on defense as any other country

Somehow, having the most expensive armed forces in the world = defenseless to invasion

You watch too much television
 
Can't stop every genocide and dictator, therefore should never stop any genocide or dictator.

Or does this mean you're a hawk who thinks we should have invaded Rwanda?
