..........."You can blame the spineless politicians all you like, and I will happily blame them right along with you. But the fact is, this giant pile of irresponsible debt is what this increasingly soulless and immoral country wants. The longer we do this, the more we are wrecking our children’s futures. And tra la la, nobody seems to care. We’re going to “get the millionaires who are doing pretty well to do a little more,” to use the Huckster in Chief’s well worn phrase, and meanwhile the do-nothings who contribute zero to our society get to keep sucking on the socialist teat. And this is what we want, as a country. This is what we voted for."....................
C'mom man..You didn't care about debt until FOX news told you to care about it...Just like you, the country has always been in debt...Do you have a mortage? Credit cards? Car loans? I don't....And it gets worse everytime we elect a Republican....You see yourself as a freedom loving fiscal conservative but in reality, your a facist freeloader..You don't want to pay for anything..Your party puts entire wars on our credit card
Totally agree with the OP, we have been electing politicians for the past few decades that promise us more benefits and bigger tax cuts.
Plus the system is skewed. For instance, corporate welfare, NASCAR got a payout in this latest last minute deal, big money for them, but to the normal taxpayer, it is only peanuts. People & corporations fight hard to get their cuts of the giant trillion dollar pie but no one fights that hard if they know their taxes will only go up a penny from the latest pork bill.
And we pay for it with increased debt, $1 dollar of added debt for every three dollars spent.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
And Politicians aren't spineless, like every human being, they're greedy..They represent corporate interests, they sell us out and laugh about it..Thats takes some kinda big balls if you ask me...And Americans arent Immoral, they're ignorant
You, Fred, this thread and cydl's future response are perfect examples
CG..Youre losing your mind..I don't know if its menapause or what, but somethin aint right lately...My advice? Get some estrogen, take some fish pills to increase the blood flow to the brain, eat right and exercise more..
Gee, that must be it... It must be the fault of the "47%"...again....After paying all that money into the system, (including the retirees, the elderly, the disabled, the veterans, the active-duty military), they expect to get what they paid for...and "get to keep sucking on the socialist teat."
[sigh] The AynRandroids are at it again... I guess they'll never learn... By the way, did you guys get the memo? YOU LOST THE ELECTION with that drivel....
