"I want the spending and waste cut and then after I see movement and not just talk or accounting gimmicks, then I will talk about more taxes." This is what you clowns have been saying since Reagan! Spending NEVER gets cut, except under (D) Bill Clinton! So, why don't we try it the OTHER way? Raise taxes, THEN cut spending, and only THEN lower taxes? It worked under Clinton!

You are doing a great job with the dem party talking points re: the tea party. Keep up the good work! You need to keep slandering the ordinary folk that are a bit fed up with the way the country has been run for the last decade. Otherwise your dem hacks will lose more seats in 2012 along with your O. That is a non sense response since it does not promote a civil exchange of ideas. I asked a simple question on why is it that Boehner and Eric Cantor ( who is clearly aligned with maintaining his Tea Party base) are not interested in going for a comprehensive reduction in the debt. Further more, I had asked earlier that why do people still keep believing that tax cuts produce jobs when the contrary has happened since 2001, which was the year that the first tax cut occurred following the "Clinton boom". Do you agree with kicking the can down the road? Surely that is what is being suggested by those who are proposing that we go for $2 B now. The Tea Party's siniter motives have been exposed by their proposing to "kick the can down the road." There is nothing about the Democrats and Republicans on this issue. It is about America. The raising of the debt ceiling has nothing to do with the budget. We are seeing the wide split in the Republican party itself. That instability within the party makes them ineffective as a opposition party. eric Cantor and Boehner need to settle their personal feuds and jockeying for power outside and not at the cost of the welfare of the nation. Otherwise your dem hacks will lose more seats in 2012 along with your O. That is exactly what I said that the "kick the can down the road" are doing. Thinking about the s hort term and infusing a dose of politics on the debt issue. It is not desirable to think about the elections. This issue is much bigger than that.

From my perspective, I want the spending and waste cut and then after I see movement and not just talk or accounting gimmicks, then I will talk about more taxes. Look. We'll set up a state where no services are provided either by the state or the feds and we will relocate all you anti democratic folks there. You won't have to pay any taxes. How's that?
