What is your specific solution to solve the debt and deficit? I think you are so damn selfish to reelect Obama; convince me otherwise.

20% across the board cuts and 10% across the board tax increase.
That's fair isn't it ?

Specifics. What spending would you cut? How? How will raising taxes reduce the debt and deficit?; again, specifics please. Thanks

Maybe, what do you mean by "across the board"? And how will a 10% tax increase on everyone help reduce the debt and deficit since people will have less money to invest and put into the marketplace? Thanks

What is a Neo Prog? I have never heard anyone use that term before....and to answer your question, raise taxes and cut spending to close the gap between how much we spend and how much we take in to keep the country running.

Well now you are asking two different questions, do you wish to talk about the deficit and the debt or do you want to talk about stimulating the economy and getting Americans back to work? You really can't do both at the same time.

We can cut corporate welfare, end the wars quicker, and cut or trim subsidies. We can trim or cut spending in the tax code. We can use Medicare to bargain for cheaper drug prices, which would cut a lot of spending. We could allow tax cuts for the wealthy to expire, which would reduce the deficit.

It's a term that I have been using here for the past 3 years. It's short for Neo Progressive, I figured if there was a Neo Con, then there should be a Neo Prog; basically your modern day leftist that thinks everyone except them are knuckle dragging troglodytes and are too stupid to what is best for them, so they in their infinite wisdom, along with a HUGE government nanny state will make our decisions for us.
