B-Large Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 at some point both tax and cutting spending will come to pass.... but it will be fun to debate it and do nothing until we have 30T in debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will? How many jobs will be cut by governments when this happens? What would you do with that additional tax revenue? This is Texas hold em? Lol, I'd spend more on infrastructure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Large Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It will? How many jobs will be cut by governments when this happens? probably a lot. however, we cannot continue down the path we have been on for the last 30 years. Government will have to shrink, and taxes will have to raised to begin covering debt/ paying off debt. This is Texas hold em?

Chef Jim Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Raising taxes would raise revenue. Nice thread title. I guess you smacked your head a few weeks ago and that's why you've been AWOL. I think you need some more time off to heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I'd spend more on infrastructure Seriously, run for office for the donkey party. You've got the proven tax and spend approach down pat. Don't be intimidated by the fact that Republican Governors outnumber dems 2 to 1 or that the house and senate are in enemy hands. You can't lose on a platform of more taxes and more spending.

I had a whole list of infrastructure questions for him but I figured he'd just call me a jackass or a do-do head for asking so many questions.

Try: I am more in favor of greater investments as opposed to draconian cuts. Edited November 6, 2015 by keepthefaith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
