The Republican War on Reality Continues

Doesn't look to me like the Dems are playing it right. The GOP asskicking has had the effect of finally getting the republicans to the table on the tax cut issue...but, it's apparently made some of the dems so proud that they're saying entitlement cuts are off the table. Not smart.

They'll end up doing something that just kicks the can down the road a year or so. Originally Posted by timpage

Defense cut don't bother me in the least. No question its a completely bloated black hole. It will throw a lot more people into the unemployment hole when many of the govt contracts get scrapped, but thats the breaks. Those Lockheed engineers can work part time at Wal Mart, or Target if they are the more upscale type.

I said it before, they just need to gridlock and let it all go over the cliff. We'll soon see who was right. The sooner the system crashes and burns, the sooner we can collectively begin fixing everything.

The tax cuts will expire and the rate will return to the same as it was when GW took office!

Is that a bad thing? I think not! It was the best sustained economic period during my lifetime. Originally Posted by bigtex

Yep he had higher taxes....but his health care plan fell on it's face and the republicans made him cut spending.... right?

Now if BO would put the kibosh on his own Obamacare and actually cut expenses like was done during the Clinton years...Obama might have something!

But he doesn't.

He just wants to tax and spend.......that doesn't work.

Here's an easy fix to military spending. Increase the number of troops and reduce the number of government contractors. I know several government contractors who get paid 4-5 times as much as an enlisted serviceman to do basically the same job. There are government contractors to support IT, provide food services, provide equipment maintenance, provide vehicle maintenance, etc. The reason these contractors exist is because there aren't enough military personnel to do those jobs. Whenever the media or liberals cry about military spending, the first thing they want to do is reduce the size of our armed forces. This is not the right solution. We need to reduce the size of contractors and get rid of companies such as Halliburton.
