Everything Is On The Chopping Block EXCEPT Tax Cuts

[KingOfLostSouls]

that seems to be the follow up on everything now to control the deficit.


everything else is open except tax cuts and military spending.


social security, medicare, medicaid, public education, everything


EXCEPT

the koch brothers tax cuts and more extra engines for planes to fight al qaeda's non existent air force.

those things must be preserved at all costs. the sacrifices will come from those who have little to sacrifice so that those with everything can keep an extra 3% of everything.


glad to see our compromise worked SO well. PEACE FOR OUR TIME!!!

1. wrong - no way we will cut funding for the war(s)

[slay]

3. +1

we will continue to run the war machine at full blast wasting billions - and ruining the lives of so many. and we will continue to be OWNED by the rich unless someone stands up and fights for us. (hint - it aint gonna be Obama).

2. So if you are retired and do not get the benefits from the new tax deal and everything is going up

you are screwed if they cut SS.

4. We're all screwed since the economy will not get better with the tax cuts.

And will continue its downward spiral. That tax revenue could have been used as stimulus and to create WPA style jobs here at home.

Unfortunately neoliberals don't believe governments should create jobs, EVEN when the private sector is sitting on trillions of dollars and refusing to invest in jobs here.

All those investments in alternative energy and infrastructure are no doubt on the chopping block as well.
Can't afford them!

5. That's not true.

Money for the drug war won't be cut. I guarantee you there will be plenty of cash to keep the swat teams well equipped for when they drag the joint smoking cancer grannies off to prison.
