wmw999 2,588 #32 February 7, 2006 If I get a 10% raise, and increase my spending by 20%, then I will be getting more income, and I will be going bankrupt. You do know that the US owes interest on all that national debt, right? Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rushmc 23 #33 February 7, 2006 Wasn't trying to overwhelm, I have leaned some things in these myself. The orignial docs I looked at I can't find now.

rushmc 23 #35 February 7, 2006 Yes, and I agree with you. My point was tax cuts increase goverment income. But it doesn't matter if you increase spending faster......"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

It is interesting to me know that there still is no clear agreement on the Reagan Tax Cut effects. Go figure It took 204 years for the USA to run up its first $1 Trillion in national debt. It took Reagan 3 years to run up the second $1 Trillion. Thanks to "Voodoo Economics" (G.H.W. Bush's description) the apparent illusion of prosperity under Reagan was an illusion and Bush 41 was forced to raise taxes eventually. We are still paying the price of Reagan's Voodoo Economics experiment in terms of interest on the debt (now standing, thanks mostly to Bush 43, at over $8 Trillion)....

peacefuljeffrey 0 #43 February 7, 2006 QuoteGod, we had a surplus when Clinton left office too. Kiss that goodbye! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060207/pl_nm/bush_budget_revenues_dc We never had a surplus when Clinton was in office. We had chicanery that tried to manipulate the numbers to make it look like there was a surplus. Tell me something: If you have zero cash in the bank, and you own several houses, motor homes, yachts, and jewelry, if that stuff is all worth millions but no one will buy it from you to convert it to liquid cash, would you be able to go out and buy dinner or put your kid through school? With what money? The bursar's office doesn't accept motor homes as tuition payment. Clinton's administration tried to count as "budget surplus" the proceeds from the sale of all kinds of government holdings -- such as NY's Governor's Island. They calculated the value of it -- IF anyone were BUYING it -- at about $5B. Does that mean they should have listed $5B in the government's black column? NOPE. But they did, and they convinced a shitload of you fools that there was a "surplus." Now that someone's playing the numbers straight, it looks as though they spent a big ol' surplus... --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

peacefuljeffrey 0 #45 February 8, 2006 QuoteBush has been in office for 6 years now and we have more than trippled our deficit.....have not seen a increase in our economy once. Nice use of ultra-vague terms. "Have not seen an increase in our economy"... what exactly does that mean? Home values have increased, unemployment has decreased, stock market trading has increased, etc. Your only criterion seems to be whether the government's deficit has increased or decreased. That can be, and is, quite independent of whether the "economy" is doing well. All it means is that the government is spending more than it is taking it -- an imbalance of taxes to spending. It does not necessarily mean one way or another whether businesses or commerce or private individuals are thriving financially. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

You're saying that EIGHT YEARS were not enough for Clinton to at least get the remedy going? LMFAO. Everything bad is the fault of Republicans. Everything good is to the credit of Democrats. And when Democrats fail to fix the things Republicans have done, despite having the Congress and the White House, you explain it how? We're waiting. You never make in-depth posts, Amazon. You just do cheap hit-and-run attacks, and they don't amount to squat since you never clarify your meaning or back up your assertions. Useless. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...
