ok cut spending. Got it. What would be the easiest way to save trillions? Stop occupying a nation that has been and will remain in constant conflict.
Get rid of the income tax and implement a national sales tax. That means the rich will have to pay every bit of the taxes that they owe from all of their luxuries, and illegal aliens have to pay taxes.

And you immediately raise the cost of living for the poor by 25%.

I'm for the FAIR TAX, myself. Let's folks earn what they want, and only get taxed on what they buy, over the necessities of life. Stop duplicate social programs, do away w/ the Dept of Education, skim some $$ off of the Iraqi oil sales..we'll be right as rain in no time.

I appreciate you wanting to cure my athlete's foot, but pee on your own feet, brother.

Easy. Cut spending. The tax cuts brought in more $$ to the US treasury and are helping erase the defecit already, while keeping the economy growing at a very reasonable rate.
Bush tried to save SSI, but no one wanted to touch that live wire. It's nothing more than a Gov't mandated Ponzi scheme, where the 1st ones in are the ones who come out winners. Since we've been lied to for decades by the FEDERAL Gov't ( note - both parites at fault here ) raising taxes is the last asd most morally bankrupt way to go.
As much as I agree with almost everything that Araptor posts, this is a rare disagreement. The US system of government is set up to benefit those in power that bring home the most bacon to their constituents. Hopes of cutting government spending are a pipe dreams. The most we can hope for is to maintain a tax cuts so the economy will continue to grow and deficits will fall due to the increasing tax base. As far social security is concerned the assumptions made by those that predict it's demise are very pessimistic. If the US economy continues to grow at the the rate of the last 30 years social security benefits will be just fine. Of course, because of demographic trends in the US this means the only way this can happen is if we develop a sensible way to bring foreign workers into our economy. Personally I think Mexican workers that come into our country legally could save the social security system. I work with them every day and they are polite and hard working. In my opinion exactly the infusion of new blood the US needs to maintain economic dominance into the next century. Plus, it could be worst we could have brought a couple of million Muslims into the country to do "work Americans won't do" and we would be in France's position now.
I had a few beers before this post is it obvious.

Rap, I kept hearing about 'rules' that were supposed to keep democrats out, but in real life (where most of the rest of us live) they didn't exist. So pardon me if I don't credit your whole 'they apologized 'cause they were wrong' schtick.

Rue , why don't you just except the fact that you don't understand the US political system and get over it. Nobody in the US cares if other countries want to have convoluted systems with 15 parties were everybody gets equally say. The US is a Republic, not a pure democracy and most like it that way. Pure democracy gets you Hugo Chavez. We let the ignorant masses vote in this country but we don't let the them make foreign policy.

And under a republic we get Bush...
so I'm not seeing a whole lot of strength to your argument suggesting republics are better, Kirkules.
Seems like a goal of ours should not be the exclusion of the "ignorant masses" in the policy making department, but that it should be educating said masses, nationally prizing education, prizing public service, civic duty and social responsibility, because neither system can survive forever with an uneducated populace.

"I'm for the FAIR TAX"
How is that any different than what I said?
I am for getting rid of the Department of Ed. too, let the states handle education, they are closer to the issue. I would say municipalities, but the the officials at that level are less equipped to deal with it than the state is.
Haven't seen any income come out of Iraq at all, instead of into the pockets of some Fat Cats who received uncontested contracts to do their dirty work over there.
Maybe we should knock off the mad man over in Pakistan and steal some of his. Or is he not bad enough for you? I smell hypocrisy is the answer is no.
