  • Is f...ked up how Social Security annual increase was stopped,must of the Social Security receipients are elderly and compare to other aids the annual increase of Social Security wasn't much anyways.Along with eliminating Social Security increase the budget plan should have also included eliminating Sec 8 and Welfare except food stamps or medical insurance.

  • MITCHELL OBAMA TELL BARACK OBAMA IM 330624316 I CAN MAKE GOODDRINKS AND TASTE GOOD THAT MAYBE CAN MAKE BARACK OBAMA LIVE 9999 YEARS AND TO TO TO TO ME, HE DREAM TO DRINK THEM DRINKS

  • Dan Mitchell for President!!!

  • Dan Mitchell is right, as always

  • Friends of the US Chamber is fighting to get America back on track. Please visit their website and sign their petition for our leaders in Washington to seriously consider new and innovative policies that promote a better, more confident, prosperous, and secure America in the 21st century.

  • The last thing said was there could be a 59% tax. If that's true, let's start taxing members of congress, for all of their income, at a 90% Tax rate.

  • To all my democrat friends who voted for mr oblama,,, Please list, for all of us, what experience oblama has in Budgeting, Business Management, Fiscal Responisbility or anything to do with spending OUR MONEY.

  • Comment removed

  • One really has to appreciate the creativity employed by the Cato institute. Starting at the 1:00 mark, there is a book titled "Global Tax" showing a full cover above Dan Mitchell's left shoulder. Nice placement.

  • Agreed. Here's an idea. Get rid of the entire economic advisory board at the White House and apoint Dan Mitchell the sole advisor. He seems to know more about economic policies than the present commitee. Whats important is that Mr.Mitchell not only knows economic thoery in it's FULL scope(Keynesian, Austrian, Monetarist, theories.... ) but he understands their applications presently in the US, historically, and how policies in other nations effect their economic growth.

  • Exactly! If Ron Paul had been elected President Dan Mitchell would for SURE be there, as well as Peter Schiff.

  • The Obama Administration should have these guys from CATO as his advisors.

    they make sense.

  • pallenaf, I disagree. I'm not rich, yet I'm against this budget. It's $3.6 trillion.

    1. We can't afford it. It'll increase the debt.

    2. The money is not efficiently allocated. There are several federal departments that could and should be eliminated: Agriculture, Education, and Energy, to name a few. That would save hundreds of billions of dollars. We spend hundreds of billions more overseas. We have troops in 140 countries; subtract Iraq and Afghanistan - how many does that leave?

  • It's interesting to see that when people are forced to defend the indefensible logic leaves and generalizations come in.

  • g4m3th30ty, Whom was that a reply to?

  • sorry - that was for pallenaf - the logical contortions that both the left and right have to go through to "agree" with stupid things simply because it came from their side never ceases to amaze me

  • That's ridiculous. The people who are going to hurt the most from excessive government spending are the middle class.

    At the moment we have socialism for the poor, and socialism for the rich. The middle class have nobody standing up for them...and haven't for quite some time.

    Econ 101(even at a liberal college) would serve you well.

  • Well said.

  • Any chances Dan Mitchell could run for congress? We need people like him to represent "We the People". He is change I could actually believe in!

  • He has a LOT more power and influence as the head of a think tank.

  • CountArtha, Mitchell is a Senior Fellow at Cato. The head is Edward Crane.

  • @bamagirl369 You need to do something in America or your going to end up like Europe. MOST Europeans, even those on the lowest wages, pay over 50% of their income to the government through social security taxes, income tax, Value Reduction Tax (VAT), fuel duty, the list goes on and on and on.

  • Good video.

  • MooseOfReason nailed it.

  • When we had Pay-Go, both were tied together. The current spending would have triggered massive tax increases, which is political suicide. We need another pay as you go law to keep the idiots in their place.

  • agreed, Moose

  • One must realize that FOX is using the CATO Institute for its own agenda, but it's great that the message can still get out to people who need to hear it.

    Low taxes are a result of low spending. We need to cut spending, foreign and domestic, before we can cut taxes.
