and it has to happen now. That means everything is on the table to be cut. Medicare, social security, defense, all of it. Why don't you understand that you can't spend more money than you take in?
We don't have to balance anything; soon Jesus will return and make everything okay.
But by all means the republicans can continue on a path that puts them at odds with the majority of the American people. I just hope we get someone eventually that is serious about the budget.
Most of those services are unconstituational overreaches of our federal government. Luckily we are a Republic and what the majority of the American people think should have no bearing on the rule of law.

All raising taxes does is encourage more spending. It doesn't matter, partisanship is crippling this country because people have their heels dug in and their pride sewn into their political views. This will all come crashing down soon.

Interesting...where did you get your Law Degree from?
Cause every supreme court justice and the leaders in the rest of the branches disagree with you.
Wow! It's a miracle! I was actually able to balance the budget by not cutting social security or medicare but by primarily by raising taxes on the wealthy and cutting military spending!
Is anybody tired of uninformed right wingers thinking they're so "serious" and lecturing the rest of us on how we should cut our middle class benefits?
How does decreasing revenue balance the budget? Increasing tax rates decreases revenue, that's a fact. In order to balance the budget, revenue must be increased which is attained through tax cuts. Additionally we have to cut social welfare spending before we touch defense. Welfare spending is unconstitutional and is redistribution of wealth and private property. We can certainly cut from defense but we have to nip social security, medicare and medicaid in the bud first. They're the primary contributors to the deficit, not defense spending.

Funny! The last time we had a "balanced" budget was under Clinton and LBJ! Both Liberals! Oh by the way no Republican in a "red" state is going to chop off SS or Medicare either! They will get voted out of office!
