TheAnvil 0 #51 June 4, 2004 Very nice. See my previous post to PK. As the recession ends, revenues will rise in spite of the tax cuts. It is inevitable. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #52 June 4, 2004 Better, but not quite. Now add the baby boomers and the SS fiasco into your thought process and try and blame the rising deficit on the tax cuts. Can't be done. SS and MEDICARE are going to drive the deficits higher than projected - I guarantee it. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Well, I giveactual data and you give pie in the sky. Why should I trust your economic prediction any more than "deficit will be small and short lived" or "the economy will create 2.7M new jobs in 2003" as predicted by your hero GWB?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #54 June 4, 2004 Uh....SS fiasco? What does that have to do with income taxes and the deficit. The SS program in still in the black, for now. It is self funded and has higher revenues than outlays. http://www.ssa.gov/budget/2004bud.html QuoteSS and MEDICARE are going to drive the deficits higher than projected - I guarantee it. Well then maybe Bush shouldn't have put together a medicaid package that will cost way more than he let congress know before the vote and even ordered people not to disclose the true costs of until after the vote. Maybe Bush should live up to his campaign promise of revamping SS, and securing its funds instead of raiding its surpluses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #55 June 4, 2004 What does SS have to do with the deficit? Learn more. The link you posted has as much to do with SS shortfall projections over next few years than ALGORE did with discovering Love Canal. Ahhh...so you admit that Bush's package costs a lot - as we conservatives all know and are ticked at him over. Perhaps sKerry can complain about deficits while socializing medicine as well. ROFLMFAO. If he has spare time with negotiating new trade agreements that force foreign nations to abide by stricter environmental standards....bwwwaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

PhillyKev 0 #56 June 4, 2004 QuoteWhat does SS have to do with the deficit? Learn more. You might want to. The current SS SURPLUS is used to REDUCE the size of the deficit. If SS were taken out of the picture, the deficit would be even LARGER. Yeah, I admit his medicaid package costs a lot. GWB is the one that didn't admit, in fact activley hid that fact until after it got approved. In fact used some of that money to air propaganda pieces disguised as legitimate news items to promote it. As far as Kerry socializing medicine, where did you get that sound bite from, Coulter? Have you read his health care plan? It's actually a series of tax credits for PRIVATE health insurance. QuoteA 25 percent tax credit for people ages 55 to 64 whose salaries fall below 300 percent of poverty. A 75 percent tax credit for people between jobs and below 300 percent of poverty. A tax credit of up to 50 percent for small businesses that cover low and moderate-income workers. A tax credit for workers not eligible for other provisions of the Kerry plan, which would limit premiums to less than 6 percent of income for workers below poverty and then phase out to 12 percent of income for workers at 300 percent of poverty. Not to mention allowing re-importation of drugs and limiting malpractice liability to reduce those insurance premiums for physicians. Maybe instead of assuming he's going to do the most radical, left wing thing you can think of regarding every issue, you should research what he actually proposes.
