Why should the Democrats folow the Conservative solution for the debt crisis?

The federal government gets about 2.8 trillion dollar in revenue each year. The deficit is about 1 trillion each year (borrowed money). The national debt is over 16 trillion however (accumulated debt...with a GDP of about the same).

The government needs to cut about 1.5 trillion in spending each year....and they need to raise .5 trillion in revenue to make any dent at all in the actual debt of this nation. Will they cut that much? No.

Will they raise that much revenue? No. Would they put it toward paying the debt if they did?

No. Will we eventually have a massive economic collapse and MASSIVE inflation due to that debt? YES....it is simply a matter of time.

The rich are already taxed at 35% of their income. A 3.8% increase would be a more than 10% increase in the tax. This would mean 3.8% reduction in disposable income for the class of citizens who do virtually all the investing and hiring.

If the government takes all that money you kind of hope they invest it instead of spending it on holidays in Europe for Michelle and the kids. You're the one who is short a few brain cells. The continued Federal spending and taxation increases on anyone is a threat to the economic AND political freedom in this country.

As Margaret Thatcher once said "Sooner or later you run out of OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.

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.
