1. There is no debt/deficit problem

This is simply invented by their (both sides) refusal to raise taxes. We could be done with this tonight if the government really wanted to. They want to cut public spending so they (mostly republicans) have gutted taxes for the ultra rich, creating the illusion of a debt/deficit problem.

All this worry for nothing. If the economic experts at DU say there is no deficit then all is well.
:lmao:

2. The debt/deficit is not an illusion

just ask your neighbor.
Sure there are ways to 'fix' it, none of which is acceptable to the DC 500. Which makes it all-too-real.
Raise taxes?
Not gonna happen.
Cut spending?
Not gonna happen.
End the wars?
Not gonna happen.

Well damn I guess we still have to worry about it after all.

4. Taxes on the wealthy and corporations must rise

There is no way around that fact. Period.

Yep that will solve all our problems. Nevermind that the tax increases on corporations will add even more to already skyrocketing prices.
Nevermind that even if the dems get more money coming in they will just spend even more still leaving us with deficits and then they can just raise taxes again.

5. The US is running a deficit of at least

one trillion dollars. $1,000,000,000,000 per year.

Does anyone really believe we can erase that by raising taxes on corporations and the wealthy?

The left preaches that as Gospel truth.

Correction, OBAMA is running deficits of at least 1,400 billion dollars every year since being elected.

In the same vein, 1 + 1 = POTATO.

They all think like Nancy P.

Money...We have to spend it to find out where it comes from.
