Phurfur 70 Posted May 14, 2014 Racking up a $17.5 trillion deficit with no plans to control spending. They even label groups that want to control spending as terrorists, jihadists, hostage-takers, extremists, and racists. Eagerly giving up liberties in the name of safety John Adams: Liberty once lost is lost forever And you will all rush to the polls in November to reelect the people that got us there. Mind control is a powerful thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 720 Posted May 14, 2014 You wine about and follow around conservatives all day kid. Seek help I do enjoy a good Merlot...but that has nothing to do with this board. I don't follow anyone around anymore than you follow around those you consider lefties. Just because you hacks continually get pounded into the dirt...doesn't mean Im following you or hate conservatives. Just means I like to mock completely blind hacks...the few of you there are here. There are plenty of decent conservatives who are not complete blind sheep. Just happens that you, phurfur, and GP are complete blind hacks as you have proven over and over again.

You follow me in here (after making the follower comment earlier) and take a shot at me...I refute your idiotic point and respond...you cry more and act in denial of what is really going on and claim I need help?

My guess is the latter and you will try linking to a post where you incorrectly claim mocking someone is whining about them (you know, like you have for years about many people on this board).

Even posts where I offer nothing more than lefty spew the way you do righty crap. But you know what...its time to just do this instead...time to finally put a poster on ignore...because your BS has gotten too old and its just not worth flooding the board with more beat downs of such a clown like you.

The Moz 71 Posted May 14, 2014 It's tough to fix a issue like this if you're not willing the take the medicine.

Therefore no matter who is in office R or D the deficit will never really come down much - granted there is likely less adding to it under the R's -- well unless there's a war brewing I think the current Rs will talk about wanting to add less.

Voltaire 5,485 Posted May 14, 2014 I completely agree with phurfer. Deficit growth is now and always has been my #1 concern. When I was a teen watching the Sunday morning talk shows back in the 80s, this the focus of my political obsession. They were talking about the massive debts we were piling up then were screwing the kids over- which I interpreted as they were screwing me and my generation over. It made me a bit obsessed with debt, some that that has always carried over. I've been over this many times. It's part of the reason I moved overseas. Seeing decline all around you was inevitable when looking around Detroit in 2001. Now it's everywhere in the national news. At the time, I anticipated a sudden collapse, but now I see it's more just this slow, steady erosion as the country goes more and more broke. We're now in our 14th consecutive year of budgetary mismanagement with another 2.5 on tap. And how is this going to get solved? It seems to me the cockroaches have taken over.

We're now in our 14th consecutive year of budgetary mismanagement with another 2.5 on tap. And how is this going to get solved? It seems to me the cockroaches have taken over. Gotta keep things in perspective. I've read as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product, America's debt is actually consistent with most countries. I'd still like to see the debt reduced too, but concessions will have to be made somewhere.... military or social services (two biggest expenses). I'm for ending the ridiculously long war, but other than that don't EVER mess with the military budget! That leaves social services. Time for the government to say "we apologize for over-promising social-security and medicare, but it's just gotten too damn expensive. If we don't cut back we're projected to go broke."

Time for the government to say "we apologize for over-promising social-security and medicare, but it's just gotten too damn expensive. If we don't cut back we're projected to go broke." Massive deficits, and servicing those deficits are what's bleeding the country dry. Fortunately interest rates are low. Military spending to me is the enormous red blinking neon bullseye for cutting ahead of entitlement spending which in turn would have priority over tax increases. Together, military and entitlement spending squeezes everything else (the worthwhile stuff) out of the budget. There's only peanuts left over for everything else. I hate being the global police, sending troops to get blown up in the service of dumbsh*t Muslims who both hate us and want in on our taxpayer provided gravy train. It also frees up everybody else's government (Europe, Japan, Korea, Canada) to not spend money on their military because Uncle Sucker is providing security it for them. But everything I care about isn't up for discussion. I'm so thoroughly fed up that to me, at this point, I just want the ax to fall somewhere. I don't really care where anymore- pretty much any formula works at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 5,485 Posted May 15, 2014 Bloomberg turned a deficit into a surplus to balance New York's budget. That's exactly the thing I'm looking for that few others offer. Further he's willing to both raise taxes and cut entitlements. Pardon me while I stand and applaud. Granted, his nannystate instincts aren't for me but I can get over that. It's cautiously noted but secondary. He seems to have the same priorities that I do on the most important stuff. I'd sure lend him an ear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
