Open questions for dems: debt and deficit (Clinton, Obama, military)

[mike0618]

Please dems only:

Please answer this for me.

Are you worried about the debt and the deficit?

If not why? At what amount would you be worried?

If you are worried about it, how do you want us to get out of it?

So after a hr and a half no dem wants to answer the questions? Or do you all have me on ignore? Only 10 have even looked at my thread! I see how you all are, ignore what you dont want to hear! I might not agree with you but I will not ignore anyone with a different opinion than mine. Thats democracy!

good luck with it mike. A similar thread just posted by areoguy got over 100 replies, many from D's, but not one would directly confront the question.

You put a narrow qualification to a subject on which potentially dozens of active threads exist, only to end up whining about not getting anybody's attention. But, feeling your pain, and the ditto-heads, allow me to ignore some and accept some of your "challenge".

1-Are you worried about the debt and the deficit?
Yes.

2- If not why? At what amount would you be worried?
N/A

3-If you are worried about it, how do you want us to get out of it?
I think President Obama's plan spells it out fairly well. The question is, are YOU aware of it?

not worried at all. It's easy...you use the BofA to pay off the Chase card. Then you use the Chase card to pay off Capital One, Wells Fargo and 5th Third. Then you use the 5th Third card to pay your most of your monthly expenses, use the Wells Fargo card to buy the latest Paris Fashions and the Capital One card to pay off BofA.

It's a very simple process you just have to be creative.

If we could go back to the debt and deficit levels we had during the Clinton years, we'd be fine.

But that of course would involve raising taxes and slashing military spending -- neither of which the Rs will allow, so over the fiscal cliff we go.

1. A pullback on what remains the single greatest component of our structure deficit; the Bush tax cuts.

2. A conclusion to the Afghan war.

3. Entitlement reform.

It takes a libertarian to answer such questions not inbred, blue bloods or lumpenproles with heads full of marshmallow cream.

I presented the libertarian philosophies of the founders of this country along with every classical economist. I provided the new realities of soft money and debt deflation complete with explanations and references. I could see Salvador Dali brains melting in their mindless stupor as none of my points was addressed while it is presumed I made them up myself.

There is no luck. The miserable fate of forgotten enlightenment awaits.

I was starting to think all dems put me on ignore for some reason. My last few threads have gotten little to no response at all.
