Hannity thinks "Stealing from Kids in the Future" is a heartstring that will make people change their mind about the government overspending and running up the debt. The concept is TOTALLY foreign to the uninformed voters. Just about ANYthing more than six weeks into the future is ABSTRACT and incomprehensible to the people voting against Republicans. Need a BETTER argument ! Keep trying.

Rep. Hensarling, my main man!!!!!!!

We are on a collision course. We can't keep up the borrowing and money printing.

Hannity Exposes Obama' Secret Plan to ...

There are only two things that Hannity can expose: 1) His lack of character in talking over the person he is asking a question. 2) His ignorance of how the real world works.

At least he isn't lonesome. There are all the conservatives who toe the party line of fear, ignorance and foot-dragging. They WANT to sink the ship of state.

You don't pay off debts when you are unemployed. You pay them off when you are making good money. We need to get the country running and have full employment. Then is when you pay off your debts, which we ought to, should, and hopefully will.

How will minimum wage make the country lose jobs? It will create more people who can buy things, leading to more jobs making those things. It will also take more marginal earning people off welfare and food stamps, LOWERING the expenses of the country. I wish I had some crayons so I could draw a picture to convince those of you who believe the opposite, including my representive Hensarling.

[James Orr]

It takes a pretty simple minded person to not realize that when income goes down, since you have to keep services running, you will be spending a bigger part of your income than when your income goes up. The conservative recession has cut our income: therefore the percentage spent goes up, because our expenses didn't go down.

If you buy a house and are paying for it, and leave it to your children, they are paying for your debt BUT LISTEN UP! They have the house, and we have the country.

Hensarling AND Hannity are dead wrong.

The FACTS are that Dubbya waged TWO wars on the American Express Credit Card and then hid the invoices.

The HARD work will be finding the compromise solutions that both cut spending and raise revenues.

It has to be both and the pragmatic folks in the center who see this will have to upset the extremist idiots and ideologues on both the left AND right. We have to pay the bills that Dubbya and the drunken sailor Republicans racked up waging war.

Period.

Bubble pop boom crash... We had money and now with the economy cooling down less money is being generated. Taxes have to go up unfortunately. Everyone is going to have to pay their share. Lets lean out and trim some fat. Government is in a stalemate, and has been incapable of performing their job. Seems like everybody is to busy pointing fingers while still neglecting their duty. Tough choices must be made and carried out. Who's going to do it?

[David Hips]

Congressman Hensarling obviously has common sense. The other guy, Zero. Still blaming George Bush ! Really ??? Grow Up....

increasing minimum wages will cause more lost jobs and minorities will suffer the most. see Walter Williams comments on this
