Even if you repealed the Bush tax cuts for everyone not just the rich, we'd still have to cut EVERYTHING by 20%. And as I said that just keeps the debt at $14 trillion is doesn't actually reduce it.
They want to deal with the deficit now not because they give a fuck about spending. They spend like drunk sailors when they are in power.They have done this time and time again. Dick Cheney said deficits don't matter.The plan is to cut spending so the economy stays depressed and unemployment keeps going higher so they can get Obama out. They dont give a fuck about this country. Now I blame the spineless in chief for playing the game with them. Watch when they take it all, they will start spending at level that will boogle your mind.
