@lionslicer9999 true that, the millitary budget makes up about a quarter of our total budget for what? So we can opperate millitary bases in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Japan, Germany,Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, etc, etc, etc.... What a joke, and the GOP is talking like they actually care about the defecit and yet all they cut is discretionary spending and the cuts they make are the exact same ideological cuts to federal programs they dissagree with that make up a tiny fraction of the debt.
@durhamdf The military budget is insane, no matter who has been in office, the US gov never cuts military spending, it just keeps going up, even when we aren't at war and its being wasted. It's obviously a main cause of debt, but no one will talk about cutting it because they will lose any political leverage they have because their opponents will attack them saying they don't care about America. It's about political power, politicians don't really care about the real issues
And how can you guys talk about cutting spending without mentioning the biggest govt. spending in the last 20 years, The Iraq and afghan wars. So spending 1 trillion to help prop up private investment and spending in a depressed market is less important than the 4 trillion we spent or are going to spend in Iraq for absolutely nothing. Really? ! trillion spent on problems at home is less useful than 4 trillion spent on proping up a failed state that we created...genius
@snobaldus Are you really so stupid that you don't know that campaign contribution have always been regulated because they corrupt free and fair elections. The only thing the Americans united verdict did was allow corporations to hide their contribution and allowed for unlimited contributions in the last month. Direct contributions are already limited because that corrupts our democracy!!!! This is nothing new, and of course republicans would side with the rights of big corporations over individ
And if the business fails, you don't pay it back, you file bankruptcy (Corp Welfare) and hide.
Yes there is a point and yes we've sold that most debt is good---but the fact still remains, you START OUT IN DEBT and because of inflation/interest, you will mostly stay in debt...its a sick game where the banks always win.
Also, you can't fix debt or the need for credit until you address poor wages---the reasons people buy most things on credit.
Read the comments and read the death of America.

Yeah, let bomb healthcare and increase discretionary spending! And now, let see what China will do...
Probably get the fuck out by changing the american money to something else!

Plz. Tuesday was in no way truly historical, that is if you'd take the time to pick up a book which Fraud News hasn't already sent you by mail.
Most of the crazy Tea Baggers lost---you couldn't even get out Reid.
Reps took the House (which is historically common)
Dems kept the Sen---duh
Outside sources spent $190+mill on Rep Camps---so you tried to out spend everyone, way to prove you can buy the Gov you want.
You couldn't even retake Alaska from your exiled member.
