Budget blow out deal done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo Hoooooo Cowboys........


Don't you guys EVER criticize a budget again. You can't control spending when R's are in charge. Only time spending is curtailed is when a D is in charge because you guys at heart are obstructionists.

Shutdown schumer humiliated yet again. He shut the government down because illegal aliens are a higher priority to him than our great military and giving children health care, he gets absolutely nothing from it, then made the same deal he could and should have made 2 weeks ago.

What a loser.

Fiscal conservatism is on life support. We've got a few people who claim it who are basically anarchists and a vast number who only want to cut spending on a few things to make it possible to spend a lot more on others.

Personally I think we should curtail taxes and, as it follows, spending.

The constitution identifies specifically what the fed can do.

As it turns out, national defense is one thing the fed is responsible for. So I'm ok with spending money there.

I don't think we should borrow and sell our soul to do it, though.

Interesting that the duties of the federal government layed out in the constitution shrinks while things not called for in it balloon.

Its not so much on life support as it is untenable position in a landscape where the other party is willing to use debt to buy votes. Everyone knows and agrees that the most responsible long term course of action is to eliminate the deficit and pay down the debt. But its in everyone's short term interest to take the freebies the government is handing out. Those people getting those freebies vote. You cant win telling people we are going to make the next 10 years tougher than the last 10.

Lets say there are no cameras around. An ATM is spitting $100 bills into the street. Everyone knows where it came from. Everyone knows its not their money and that it should be returned to the bank. Still, I suspect most people will pick up a few of those bills in the breeze and walk away a few hundred dollars richer--especially if everyone else is doing it. Thats why fiscal conservativism has a tough road to hoe.

I believe every tax payers portion of the debt is about 173,000 each. Why not send everyone an invoice and take it from there.

Yes, it absolutely does. Deficit hawkishness is inversely proportional to the percentage of seats controlled by the party you are looking at. Doesn't matter which one.

Only thing I've seen change over the years is tax and spend has been replaced by borrow and spend.

In the old TV show News Radio, the station manager is trying to figure out why the budget is blown. He finally discovers that the station owner is having the news helicopter fly him home every day for lunch. To fix the problem the owner has him increase the budget for the helicopter.

People can say whatever they want. No one has been voted out of office for spending on things the voters want and poll after poll shows that the only thing a majority of Americans want cut is foreign aid and that's pocket change in the budget.

Until the voters demand spending cuts, we should begin looking at generating enough tax revenue to cover what the public demands. Until the public has to frickin pay for it, they are fine with spending. National debt is an abstraction. Doesn't matter if the country owes a million or a trillion both numbers in dollars are larger than the average citizen can really get their mind around as real.

Start insisting that the public pay, problem is solved.

Only half pay now for all the social spending. If we ever made the other half pay even a small amount spending would change. It’s easy to spend other people’s money, especially when you get a little of it yourself.

And that "half" that pays only sends in enough to cover about 60% of the actual cost of the government since we borrow 40 cents of every dollar we spend. So, that gives you an idea of how much we need to cut (or raise taxes) to break even.
