Actually the GOP/Teabag/Fox 'News'/Jesus party didn't get much. By the time any of their crackpot rules are in place the economic situation will have changed to the point where their goofy ideas will be viewed as exactly that...goofy! You can't take billions of dollars out of a market economy without driving that economy down to a lower level of equilibrium.
Less economic activity results in fewer people working and therefore less tax increment. The point that escapes these people is that no money vanishes once spent and money not spent is useless. A first world country thrives on top of the line infrastructure...both physical and social.
Reducing infrastructure outlay means that everything built by human beings will begin decay...that means that maintenance is the key to economic survival. How long will all of those 18 wheelers be delivering goods when the roads are reduced to cracks, potholes and a surface condition that would make a 3rd world country blush? What happens when essential bridges fail and traffic stops?
In California as we speak their 100 year old system of dikes in the central valley are swiss cheese just waiting for the next earthquake to fail. Millions of people will be homeless and most of the country's produce will be under water. Allowing education to become a stepchild, or denying affordable medical insurance to a significant part of the population decreases every-ones prosperity.
A family's finances aren't anything like a nation's finance though that's what these right wing radio dummies have convinced millions of Americans is a fact. A government isn't a 'business' and it can't be run 'like a business' either. Massive financial institutions can't be left alone to run without outside supervision and regulations.
Even pawn shops have a set of rules that they're required to adhere too so the public is protected. Not paying taxes has a nice ring to it, but private wealth and public poverty in the end will only create both private AND public poverty. Sure, a few folks will be 'rich', but that's the case in every 3rd world country.
Yet 3rd world countries never contribute anything except trouble to their citizens. Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan come to mind. A few rich and powerful families and 30 to 40 percent unemployment.
Mexico is the same and so are most of the African nations. Taxes have to be appropriate to the situation. Simply 'lowering taxes' does nothing but cause trouble.
In real life the big power players of our time are an ever smaller number of massive trans national corporations. The movement within these organizations now is to be the de facto government. Their influence is obvious.
No taxes....no regulation and no government enforcement of labor or environmental laws. By getting enough of 'their people' elected...in this case the teabaggers... they expect to gut the power of government and replace that power with their people in charge. I doubt if they sat around a table and made this their plan, but economic history as it unfolds puts different players in charge.
Once it was royal families and aristocracy. Later a rising middle class. Later national corporations and today it's trans national corporations.
All along the line controlling the 'government' or at least influencing it was the goal. Very complicated, eh?
Wow. Seriously? That's what you believe?
This new budget is bupkiss. Everyone knows that. It isn't Tea Party and it isn't even Democrat.
There are no taxes, but nor are there any cuts. This new budget does nothing for anyone. It doesn't nothing for our nation or our credit rating.
That and you need to realize that government does not create jobs. This budget does not and will not create jobs. The budget is nothing more than an administrative exercise that the government goes through to allocate where they're going to waste our money.
It is the private sector, not government spending, creates jobs. If you had any business experience, you'd know this. Sadly, you do not, thus your confusion.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
