Blah blah... "With the economy strong, unemployment low, and tax receipts at record highs, now is the time to cut spending and bring the federal budget into order."
Uh, how about we just stop cutting taxes for people & corps that are in the top few %? These "trickle down" policies have been repeatably proven not to actually boost the economy. In many cases its been shown that we are actually boosting foreign economies more than our own.
Not only that but most "spending cuts" are really just backdoor tax hikes. Cut the road budget, give eminent domain easements to big corp/bank which builds a toll road and pockets 50%+ of the tolls as interest/profits. Cut higher education spending $1, raise tuition on students $2. The best ones are the ones like cutting spending on "women's health" that comes back as 2-3x in medicaid spending. It just goes on and on... One party is insane, the other is afraid of them and won't speak up for fear of the next election (despite actually being the losers for last last 40 years).
