We can't fix our deficit without closing those loopholes. I don't think it is possible to cut our way out of this mess without crashing our economy worse than it is now.



Sharpie........ I would fix Soc Sec by making it a flat tax on all revenue. No more cap. We could lower the rate and still cover our bills.
sure i have no problem with flat tax. that means we stop this garbage of 50% of the country not paying taxes though, too. but that still does squat for the debt problem. we can absolutely cut our way out of the debt problem, just no one has near the balls to even consider it. you can't take handouts from people that you promised them to. and the government, and unfortunately many sheep as well, believe we NEED the government in control of lots of useless organizations that the states could handle themselves. because everyone has been trained to think that, theres no way we can go back. we are stuck at our spending levels and probably only going to increase our spending since liberals have successfully infiltrated education (and more and more young people are brainwashed on the new definition of the word "fair" and "opportunity" and "responsibility" and "compassion"). increasing taxes and making small cuts won't get us out. not even close. look at the numbers. its not like we have a small problem and we need to tighten the belt a little. we are in a disaster and no one is serious about getting us out because they want to be re-elected. its sad, but we now live in a society where people would rather give things away that we can't afford to in order to feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and completely neglect the responsibility we have to keep a good budget. thats not even just liberals, its everyone. america got fat and got rich and in the process lost all ability to reason. now its all about feelings. as such, this debt problem is only going to get worse. mark it down.

and no, i don't use paragraphs on the internet.
