If The Republicans Get Back In Total Control of the Govt, You Won't Hear A Peep About The Deficit

[Yavin4]

All that you will hear will be tax cuts, tax cuts, and tax cuts, and the media won't ever do a single story on whether the huge tax cuts actually created any new jobs or not. Nor, will they do a story on the impact of tax cuts will have on the debt and deficit.

Folks, the deficit is a huge trap that the Dems keep falling in time after time. Republicans create deficits in order to build a logical argument against any new govt spending programs. Thus, the sanctimonious independent voter, who probably already has a job or a pension and great healthcare coverage, can pontificate in polling that they're "concerned" about the deficit. However, this same "Independent" voter never said a fucking thing when Bush and the Republicans blew threw the surplus like Bush blew threw that kilo of cocaine that Uncle Noriega gave him on his 25th birthday.

Here's the truth. We can always pay off the deficit or the debt whenever we want to, regardless of how high it gets. All we have to do is raise taxes a little and cut the military back from its cold war level of spending (BTW, the cold war has been over for 20 years now. We don't need air craft carriers to fight Al Qaeda.) In the 1990s, both Bush I and Clinton did just that. Bush I closed several military bases across the country and paired down defense spending. Clinton raise the top marginal rate to 40%, and the deficit turned into a surplus by the end of the decade.

So, to be in full panic because the deficit is huge is just another Republican trick to tamp down new government spending which is sorely needed now because the private economy has been CUTTING JOBS for TWO YEARS now. However, the media and the great-almighty-know-it-all-and-must-be-worshiped-at-all-times Independent voter, who has little or nothing to fear from the economy, must be placated with spending cuts.

If you want the media to shut up about the deficit, elect an Republican to the White House.

"deficits don't matter", at least not during a Republican administration.

3. Hell No. They Just Won't Talk About It.

It'll be tax cuts, tax cuts, and tax cuts AND how we must invade Iran in order to save the world from destruction.

There was hardly any mention of the deficit when Bush II was in power.

7. Oh and the jobs, boy they will create so so many they will have to

bring all those workers from other countries to fill the void. And they will have health care for everyone, gas will be plentiful at a low low price. You will be able to heat your homes for almost nothing. Oh yes remember those good old days with the republicans. I am laughing my butt off.

8. Never heard a word when Reagan tripled the deficit, Bush I doubled it, Clinton brought it down

then Bush 2 increased it by trillions of dollars (when counting his lying wars for corporate profits) and never a word from republican as republican presidents kept increasing the deficit nor when a democrat, Clinton was bringing down the deficit.

The republicans are always the bigger spenders and have bigger government than the democrats, But republicans scream & lie along with the corporate medias help have convinced people it the opposite....Just look at the numbers, the facts don't lie!

Republicans spend & increase government as well as the deficit to favor their elitist ideology, military spending,tax cuts for the rich, corporate subsidies (corporate welfare) corporate incentives and all the republicans pet projects for military & corporate imperialism around the world.

Then the republicans will point the finger at the democrats (say it enough times and people believe it) because the democrats choose to spend money on social programs, jobs, the poor workers and middle class tax cuts and that doesn't sit well with elitist republicans so they continue to lie & say it's the democrats who are big spenders...complete bullshit.

The number prove who are the big spenders for the past 30 plus years it's the lying spending republicans.

Facts don't lie...that's why republican ignore them, won't admit them and don't want to talk about them.

Republican ideology sucks. It's a party of big spenders for the rich and the corporations.
