Spending

[joeydb]

Very basic question - how would your representative respond?

Excerpt: "This problem is going to happen, like the former chairman of the Fed said, or the Moody's said, this is a problem we're going to have to face up,” he said. “It may be two years, you know, maybe a little less, maybe a little more. But if our bankers over there in Asia begin to believe that we're not going to be solid on our debt, that we're not going to be able to meet our obligations, just stop and think for a minute what happens if they just stop buying our debt."

By the way -- option "1" -- spending whatever they want without concern for what the "math" is, is exactly what ALL recent Congresses have done, and I'm talking about the last 100 years, give or take a couple.

I'm not just trying to jab the Democrats. But whatever the source of this madness, it's time for it to end.

Why don't you have some logical, realistic choices? Rather than bumper stickers?

What could be more logical than spending less than you take in?

Not getting yourself into that position in the first place, by deliberately giving away income earnings when you know you owe alot of money

"Damn! I owe $20,000 on my credit card! What should I do?
1) Cancel the luxury cable channels and stop eating out
2) Stop buying food and paying rent
3) Tell my boss I'm going from 40 hours a week to 30 hours a week

"Wow! I think Numbers 2 & 3 are the best answers!", said the Republican Party

Six months later ....

"Oh, crap! Now I owe $30,000 on the credit card bill due to interest! What should I do? Well, I'm only working 30 hours a week - so the best thing would probably be to start giving away 5 hours a week in earnings to my rich brother".

No it's not. That's simply factually incorrect.







both parties are great at that. no need to single out the right

Not getting yourself into that position is in practical effect not spending money that exceeds your earnings year after year.

Not spending it on supporting illegal aliens that shouldn't be here in the first place, for example.

Not making welfare a way of life. A couple months or some other finite duration and then that's it.

Not giving away foreign aid.

Not forgiving loans to other countries like Haiti.
Not doing nation building.
Not paying both to blow something up and then to rebuild.
Not staying in other countries like South Korea for 60 YEARS after the war is over.
Not shipping jobs around the world instead of here in the United States, which means the government cannot overly regulate or overly tax those businesses.

Your beloved liberals are the ones mostly responsible over the years for running up that credit card bill. Not entirely, but mostly, especially FDR's "New Deal" and that Lyndon Johnson and his "Great Society" bullshiat.
