The problem here isn't wanting to reign in deficits; the problem is republican dishonesty.

But I get it: republicans lie so often it's now hard for them to separate the facts from their own fiction. They probably wouldn't know the truth if they bent over and it got shoved up their &ss.

No one has to call Bernie a socialist. He is a self proclaimed one.

Bernie Sanders, over a year later, still hasn't gotten the word. This is a US Senator? No wonder the nation is in trouble.
Oh yes, American thinker. As credible at reporting the truth about American politics as Baghdad Bob was about telling the truth of Iraq's success on the battlefield.

Yours is just yet another example of republicans and their cult-like fan base of voters who quite literally want to live in their own universe. They love BLS statistics when they point out economic problems during a democratic administration -- they're factual then. But the moment they point to a different truth, they're suddenly agents of socialist agenda.

Can I ask you seriously, why do you keep believing this sh*t? Are you afraid your conservative frat boy friends are going to black ball you at the next super bowl party? Is it in your homeowners association manual that you'll get kicked out of the neighborhood for not being a right wing troll? Seriously, I wanna know. How do people keep supporting this nonsense?

Yes, he is, and he's also among the most honest politicians you'll find, too -- unlike republitards who want to capitalize markets and socialize their losses.

I dont care how honest he is. He is a socialist from the welfare capital of New England.

Bernie is a proud socialist - and I am a huge fan of his.

I totally agree with him being one of the most honest politicians this country has.

I wish we had more just like him.

And are you a Mittens supporter? I can't remember if you are or not, but if you are, Mittens is from New England. Well, when he's not "from" Michigan.

Welfare capital? You mean the state with the lowest unemployment in the entire nation?

But I agree, you don't care how honest he is -- because honesty is not an issue with republitards.

Don't blame it on the Republican. It is a problem with both Republican and Democrats.

The probably is both just want to spend. I keep hearing the Republicans want warfare and Democrats want welfare, and I said they are full of it. Both Republicans and Democrats want both warfare and welfare.

Tax cut is good. The reason is it put more money in the private citizen's pocket.

I keep hearing they giving the wealthy this and that. LOOK, making 250k or even 1m a year is not wealthy. Yes, that is a lot of money for most of us, but that is not wealthy. If all the income is ordinary income, that mean about 35% go to fed, then another 5 to 10% go to state. That's 45%, almost 1/2 going to tax.

YES, you can have a very good life, but you will still have to work every day.

When you talk about wealthy, then you can look no further than the politician. No other class increase their wealth faster than politicians. And what is best of it? They have NO risk.

At the very least, when Bill Gates or Steve Jobs made their billions, they have to take risk. They could have loss everything if they are wrong. But when they are right, the government want 1/2.

Typical liberal-

Has a liberal ever presented a viable solution for ANYTHING? Does any liberal, if they actually analyze the situation and do not just present a reflex partisan response, actually believe that continued spending can be sustained?

If you do not believe that spending can go on as usual, and we understand that ENSLAVING "the rich" only generates $900 billion per year (we thus still have an annual deficit), what is YOUR SOLUTION?
