I'm emulating the worst posters on here because..... why?????? It really doesn't make sense. I'm mad that you guys are hypocrits. I've listened for 8 years how Obama is the devil because of the spending. Look at this look at that. Trump gets in office passes a tax cut that costs 1.5 trillion and this spending package is a trillion. It makes me see red...................

As long as you acknowledge that on the same basis as you get the $1.5 trillion and $1 trillion numbers, Obama is responsible for $9.5 trillion, we are on the same page.
I said above what it will take to balance the budget. That’s still what it takes, several posts later. Still waiting for someone to come up with an alternative.

Bump. Still waiting.

Are we just going to have one circle jerk after another of each side blaming the other, or is somebody going to come up with a solution?

Something such as you propose really is the only way to balance the budget. Too bad those in power in Washington WILL NEVER MOVE TO IMPLEMENT IT.

The power they hold derives from being able to pick winners and losers using the existing tax code structure. They can give relief to those that grease their campaign coffers and gore the ox of those on the other side of things.

So long as they are able to parlay a $175K job into being millionaires- nothing will be done to fix any of this........
