Are you kidding me, so you think we should throw the dollar in the trash cause the Democrats can't get their way? You make no sense what so ever, what has Obama not gotten that he has wanted and don't say health care cause the Democrats had plenty of votes on their own without one single Republican vote. How in the world do you expect to change anything without cutting spending? Do you know anything about the depression in the late 1910s? Spending was cut to zero and the highest taxes were 2% that were only imposed on the rich. The Great Depression was the Great Depression because of FDR's policies. Before you call me an idiot or a liar look it up. I didn't accuse anyone of anything and you Democrats still want to put your heads in the sand. I don't disagree that we are at a point where taxes need to be raised, but that can't be the only option. Wake up and realize this country is quickly heading for the dumpster and the people in office are responsible whether there is a D or R behind their name.

This was coming long before Obama, Who signed the NAFTA and allowed manufacturing to move out of the country with no penalties? If we make few durable goods and have to purchase everything from some other country how the hell will our country ever make any money?

Exactly what I'm getting at, the republicans started it and the democrats signed it into law. Let's get off this political party line sh** and do whats right for the country for a change. If a person regardless of party isn't for huge spending cuts and bringing manufacturing back to this country then don't vote their A**es into office. We need to have a major overhaul done of the entire political process in this country, no one person is always right just because they are a republican or a democrat. Look at a persons track record and vote for the ones who have proven they will make the hard decisions to get this country back on track and not just exist to fill their own pockets. Greed has been the downfall of every great civilization there has been, lets not let history repeat itself here.

I disagree with your view of history. My point is that if the Republicans are hell bent on stonewalling any progress on the taxation side, the Dems should play the part from the other side. No spending cuts without equal revenue increases. Why let one party ruin it for everyone else? It certainly didn't take just one party to get here.

Bush 1 raised taxes and was crucified by the left and Clinton in 1992. If you don't think taxes are high enough than you probably don't pay any tax. People that work hard and try to get ahead do not think taxes are low.
You could take all the income (not just taxes) from the top earners and not balance the budget. It's spending fellas. Our budget was under 2 trillion in the late 1990's. Now it's 3.8 trillion O that's right we don't have a budget.

First off, go fuck yourself. Don't try to accuse me of not paying taxes or not working hard when you know nothing about me. Second, I've never claimed that taxes would fix all the problems and I would never say that. However, it's a part of the solution if you are interested in a rational one. So, there you go.

Very nice post!!
We all need to listen to the advice Deep Throat said, follow the money.......
I wonder how many on here realize than most of all the laws written (right or Left) are done so by the Lobbyist and the Companies they Represent.
We need 2 term max, all Political funds in excess of $5K or so, need to be disclosed to the public. All funds to Lobbyist, Pacs, needs to be made public...... Why did a Credit Card Company write the Credit Card Reform Bill?????????? But because someone wasn't called a whore or getting Oral Sex in the WH, it wasn't important enough to bring to the attention of the public.
