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.

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.




I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

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

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Sounds suspiciously like "These aren't the droids you want," if you ask me.

According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

More skittle shitting pony beliefs from the DUmp.  They also believe that taxing the top 1% and slashing the defense budget will solve the deficit and debt problems.

There you go DUmbasses.
NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

In the same vein, 1 + 1 = POTATO.
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

They all think like Nancy P.

Healthcare..."We have to pass it to find out what's in it."

Money...We have to spend it to find out where it comes from.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
