Steven...
I followed a link on another board to your post. I presume
the subject(s) are the president's tax cut, military spending, etc.
Just thought I'd add my two cents worth to attempt to set the
record straight... I'm not interested in your response, since
I don't really have the time to argue the points.
I think your premise is flawed from the beginning. It's
really up to you to find the truth... if you're really
interested in knowing the truth.
Part of your comments:
"...I will, I confess, be interested to see if anyone is willing
to argue in favor of the proposition that it is possible to
increase spending, decrease revenue, and still balance a
budget..."
"increase spending"...
Is overall spending increased? Will there be a re-allocation
of funds? Will some programs that are not working, as they
were envisioned, be phased out (rare in politics, anywhere,
much less Washington)?
"decrease revenue"...
If you're equating a tax cut to a decrease in government
revenues, history has already proved you wrong. Although
not widely reported (by the vast left-wing, liberal media),
revenues to the government coffers INCREASED after Reagan's
tax cut.
Also, if you're old enough... remember, the liberal Dems and
the major media pooh-poohed the Reagan/Bush "...the economy
will GROW itself out of deficit..." and "...trickle-down
economics..." theories as "pie-in-the-sky" ideas!
Well, don't look now... but, guess what's been happening
these last 10, or so, years? Psssst... don't spread it
around, though... the liberal press and the socialist Dems
will be pissed!
Try visiting some alternate sources of news... like the
Washington Times, NewsMax, FoxNews, Drudge, WorldNetDaily,
etc. and you may get a more balanced view of what is REALLY
happening. Believing the biased, censored crapola you're
being spoon-fed from the likes of the Nightly SPINnews©
broadcasts will only make you another sheeple.
Good luck.
