This President’s Greatest Accomplishment

The question of spending money we don’t have is one issue. The psending of money we do have is another. I much rather spend the money we have on healthcare here than on defending countries  capable of it themselves or finding terrorists under the bed(keeping w/ the current meme of updated anti communist rhetoric,so I’d slash the defence budget. I would rewrite the tax code not to be revenue neutral but to bring every dollar of income under it, use it to fund education, infrastructure, social programs and then pay down the debt

Quit using up all the capital letters, Captain Capslock. You make yourself look as dumb as you sound.

“MANY FEEL THAT THE PRIVATE ECONOMY IS REDUCED BY $.50 FOR EVERY DOLLAR SPENT BY OUR WONDERFUL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.”
One, “many feel” is not empirical fact. Two, the real question is what would you spend government money on? I think to cut off social programs means there would be no schools and therefore no upward movement in an education based society for example. Three, government bureaucrats spend money keeping you from buying prescription drugs that could kill you, money on food and product safety to be more exact. Are you suggesting you want to rid yourself these bureaucrats? I doubt it.
As to spending on the poor you feel is counter productive has it occurred to you that if you provide tax credits and incentives to business to move jobs overseas, we will address the issue of labor mobility and costs later, as an act of government through tax policy there is no place for the poor to go?
I know from your writing you just have these false resentments because you are managing your life “well”. If you are not prepared to say in totality where you would reduce spending you are simply an angry failure at what you would want. i say angry because you can’t coherently explain what it is you really want other than bureaucrats and spending your dollars better than someone else in government.

Not at all. what does a strong military need to do? do we need bases in europe where they d not spend the money to protect themselves? there is a logic to a certain number of forward bases to protect your supply train but 75+ is to many. If the Federal government protects your food they are telling you what to do? When it comes to telling you what to purchase if you drive a car the government(states) tell you what you must have to drive. why is having to buy health insurance when you do not recieve it from your employer any different? what you want there is to game the system, i.e. to be able to buy when you need it. that is not the way insurance works. Insurance works on the probablity that you will need something that everyone else needs but you will all not access it at the same time bankrupting the system. it works on the idea for anything that your need will vary at any time, broken arm vs stage two cancer treatment as extremes, so your premium dollars when invested in total w/ everyone else will provide enough money to carry everyone over time.
As to the state I live in it is PA.
As to the multiplier effect it does work. As to everyone receiving food stamps like voter fraud in states where tests have been used, FLA, the amount of drug abusers receiving food stamps is miniscule. The number of illegals in this country, and here is suspect you’re racist because I don’t think you would do a damn thing about the Irish in Boston, the amount of money they recieve in benefits vis a vis they amount they contribute through work and is not put into the system by exploitative employers plus the money they do receive exceeds what they take out.
Carte Blanche reductions in departments is unfeasible because you would not even run your household like that. A reduction of 10% in your pay would not lead to a 10% reduction in food costs nor in gasoline for your car to go to work but you might kill cable premium channels can you certainly can’t cut 10%of your daughter’s ballet lessons.
Your problem is you are angry about abuses of the system but a draconian cut doesn’t stop the abusers it hurts those who need it.

I suggest you call or look up on your states insurance web site what a minimum health insurance policy covers in your state, what it costs to buy it as an individual and what it costs as part of group insurance through your employer. then check out what it costs in other states. Then check out what the state insurance pools to be set up before 2014 project their costs to be. Being in a larger pool is by definition less expensive than a smaller pool apples to apples.
As to blacks I am sick of what racism has done as well. Government programs such as redlining, this goes back to the 50′s have been a diasaster for the community. Moving jobs away from the area because of red lining has not helped. The policies that move jobs away from the new areas has not helped anyone in America. I suggest we might find more common ground in changing tax and other economic policies that would allow economic growth than exchanging charges over which party is worse economically let alone on social policy
