Oh my.

The sparkling husband primitive's wife must've erred, and slipped a little bit too much into his morning cocktail.

When Your Income Fais [sic] To Exceed Your Outgo You Have To Change The Outcome Of Your Ingo [sic] 

We as a nation need money.

We recognize the problem. We have defined the problem. It is really very simple.

Our Outgo Exceeds Our Income.

There things that can be done to remedy this. Simple things that a re clear to everyone.

Increase Income is one thing we can do.

Decrease Outgo is another thing we can do.

What else? Well . . . there's not a lot, actually. In fact, there's nothing else to do.

The real problem is how we go about this.

repubicans [sic] want to peck at the edges and nickle-and-dime "regular" Americans into full-on poverty.

Democrats want to do whatever the repubicans [sic] tell them to do.

Collectively, these two ostensibly opposing groups have come up with a Bill of a Thousand Cuts (a frightening pre-view [sic] of the 2012 budget, which will be called Death by a Thousand Cuts). They hunted for everything that had any chance of helping defenseless little people and suggested cutting it. A few lone squealers squealed and they stopped. "Enough for Today. Our Work is Done For Now." they intoned in unison, satisfied visages looking all so statesmanlike and wise.

Meanwhile, the motherlodes [sic] of Increased Income and Decreased Outgo remain, inexplicably, hidden in plain sight.

Taxes. On the wealthy. On corporations.

Prosthetic penises in the form of the Department of Endless Wars.

Raise one and cut the other.

Problem solved.

2. If families ran their budgets like RepubliCONS run the government.

A family in debt would immediately quit their job.

3. Raising taxes to 1955 levels would go a long way to renewed solvency and if the whiny crybabies threaten to leave.. let 'em..

we need a big ole reset button...like the "easy" button at Staples..

Over the years things have been allowed ( no encouraged to be) to get more and more complicated, and we are just about ungovernable..

If you finally start opening the credit card bills and notice that you are $20K in debt, cutting 100% of the cable bill will not do it..

5. Of course you would like us to support everything you like and defund all the stuff you don't.

But did you see that vote for the CR? Damn I didn't realize until then how we are overwhelmed by Republicans in the House.

Republicans don't believe in funding hardly anything. As long as they have any power whatsoever, we are going to be defending against cuts galore.

And if we can't show that we are capable of making decisions that can keep this country solvent I don't see how we will win.

Democrats are unrealistic to think the safety nets are sustainable as is. The problem is in the future when baby boomers keep retiring and needing more and more from the entitlement programs, mostly Medicare.

If Democrats can't figure out how to control Medicare costs and keep this country solvent then we will have a hard time. Simply defending spending tells the public nothing about why we will be good stewards of our nations financial health.

6. You called it an "entitlement." The fact is, it is a service you paid for.

7. Not Medicare.

The amount you pay during your lifetime doesn't cover the amount you will receive.

From Wikipedia:

"No matter what the wage level, marital status, or retirement date, a man or woman can expect to receive benefits that will cost the system far more than the taxes he or she paid into the system"

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_ (United_States)

Hmmmm.

One wonders why the sparkling husband primitive hasn't responded to the last comment.

It's called a start, you DUmbass.
Now start cutting other things that are not essential.
Jeez, just cutting your weed usage would pay that off in a few months. :stoner:

That is only because of the cruel American embargo, which is solely because of Dubya. If you investigate any misery index enough, you eventually arrive at the doorstep of George W. Bush.

Somehow all the great communist plans of Utopia that inevitably fail, are due to the people that said those plans would fail. It is never the fault of the Utopian communists not their plans. The only reason that 1+1=POTATO is not true is due to an evil conservative being mean.

If that's the case then you'd best show a receipt before demanding service.

Okay, but in return we have to go back to 1950's values, too. And educational standards.

Oh, hell, you win...we'll just have a big do-over of the whole dang decade! That way your parents can raise all you selfish, useless hippies with a little more discipline and a little less indulgence...cut off those college funds when you start throwing tantrums on the steps of a building.

I agree! Let's do away with everything but a fair tax! And disband everything in the federal government that's not specifically called for in the Constitution. And PC speech codes, especially ones like "right to choose" and "undocumented worker" designed to distort reality.

It will if you apply 100% of that money to your credit cards. If you use the "extra" money to buy a new computer with pre-installed accounting software to help you manage your finances and get out of debt then yeah it will be harder to solve your problems and you might as well keep the cable. Because the way things work with you guys, you'll also decide you need a faster internet connection and a better printer and then you can FINALLY get down to working on a budget.
