If you've paid any attention to what's going on in the states and in other countries of the world, then you MUST realize that to pay off $16 Trillion dollar deficits you probably need to bring in some extra revenues to go along with your spending cuts. More nonsense.....CUT spending......really cut it......not Washington cuts.......real cuts.

It depends on what your idea of PROGRESS is. If you've paid any attention to what's going on in the states and in other countries of the world, then you MUST realize that to pay off $16 Trillion dollar deficits you probably need to bring in some extra revenues to go along with your spending cuts. The liberal agenda renamed progressive is the recipe for disaster. So if that is the kind of progress you are interested in then I am against it. If you want to talk about Conservative values and progress towards implementing them, then I am in. More revenue, we could live Einstein's definition of insanity, keep trying the same failed Obama plan and expect different results. If you want more tax receipts then lower income taxes. If you want more corporate tax receipts and jobs then eliminate the repatriation of earnings tax (the US may be the only country in the world with this stupid liberal agenda tax). The great Ronald Reagan proved that by lowering onerous income taxes you can increase tax revenues in the medium term. The U.S. is in the enviable position of having the world's ONLY reserve currency, so people are STUCK with the dollar right now. At times they've tried to move to the Yen and the Euro but neither of those lasted for too long. Watch that change if we don't get our spending house in order post haste. Peter, you talk about Global Warming as a "partisan issue". I like to talk about it as a HUMAN issue. So by trying to impose socialism by an alternate means and destroying the economy thus people's lives is your idea of being HUMAN? If hurting people is anyone's idea of being human, I don't prefer to limit may association with them. The Warm-Mongers are faking the data. It has been repeatedly proven. They have an agenda and won't back down, because it is fooling enough people that they are encouraged. Their agenda is not one you really want to hitch your wagon to.
