What about we just keep taxes as they are and even cut them some on job creators and cut spending by 5% every year until the budget is balanced..start by firing 10% of goober'ment workers sitting on their ass..

It's really cute that you believe it Oz...

[Oz]

Yeah, I like facts...........

[sweetwater5s9]

No you do not, Oz.

Considering you say you like facts, here's the fact....
 
That "plan" increases deficits and debt every year from now on.

It is totally bogus.

For instance, saying that you will not spend a trillion dollars on Iraq and Afghanistan over the next 10 years is not "cutting spending".

And the tax increases on the rich and upper middle class will only cover 8 days worth of spending.

[Thomasj_tx]

And another fact for you....
 
During the first 2 months of FY 2013 (Oct and Nov), revenues are up 10% over 2011 while spending is up 16 %.
 
The problem is obviously not revenue.
 
Just a fact for you to like.

There are NO cuts you idiot.Only reductions in the amount of increase .
The tax hikes do absolutley NOTHING but create job losses by the thousands and gives Obama a feather in his cap. This is ALL about destroying the Republican party and assuring democrat victory in 14 and 16.
It's hide and seek that the stupid Republicans fell for under Reagan ,Clinton and Bush 1 and 2 .
Tax hikes now and reductions later that never happen.Republicans made a pledge and were elected on that pledge. NO Tax hikes !!!!  They have a mandate just as much as the president.maybe more.
