Pelosi and BO won't cut spending, they will increase it. She already has.

This means both increased taxes and spending reductions must be put in place for the good of the country. I say let them go first this time around - in the past they've raised taxes first and mouthed platitudes to reductions in spending. I say - show me the spending cuts and I'll see what I can do to help pay off the extra.

I'm really curious, other than programs like the military which are essential to our security, just how are we going to cut back on spending? Not to mention, just who exactly is going to do the cutting?

Right, tax the hell out of EVERYONE. No exceptions. Why should anyone get to keep the money they earn when it can go to irresponsible politicians. That makes better sense...

Right, so how much so each tax bracket be increased? This is for all of us so we must all sacrifice more, not just one group which is simply a vote getting maneuver... The top bracket already carries the country and enables you not to pay as much as others, we will be increased, I have no doubt about that should Obama win and since he wants bigger government and to tax and take more from hard earned earnings for pork barrel spending and other waste, everyone that supports Obama should not pass the buck but instead support their own tax increase... You never hear your buddy AS talking about that...no, he just wants others to pay even more and to carry him. That is flat out wrong. As for spending reduction, your candidate is talking about greatly increasing spending and goes against what you just wrote...but you support him immensely. That makes absolutely no sense, since you recognize his huge spending increases to be destructive.
