>I do though love reading all the posters who claim that they're "fiscal conservatives" while constantly proclaiming the "evil" of those tax cuts....how they defend their pet "entitlements" while eviscerating and excoriating the ones they don't care for. Makes for a good chuckle.<
The only "entitlement" I was defending was supporting our troops before, during, and after their service in the military.
>Oh come on Gulf....we all know that the answer to the countries problems is more taxation, bloated government, and above all else entitlements. Entitlements are like "free cash", that's why they're called "entitlements".<
I suspect I have at least as much or more than you to lose from a change in the structure of our tax code. The difference is that I recognize the need for a balanced budget. We either a) stop wasting money on ill-advised foreign adventures and corporate welfare or b) we raise taxes.
Those are the logical choices. Currently, we're spending far too much, not supporting our expenditures with tax revenue, and selling our country to the Chinese and Russians to support our spending.
How much geopolitical leverage can we have when China and Russia (not enemies, but certainly not friends) could destroy our country by refusing to buy American debt?
Republicans appear to have trouble balancing their checkbook.
