What a crazy, crack-pot “article.” IF we make another $1.5 TRILLION in cuts (or massive tax hikes), the debt will stabilize, IF…. the article does not say what assumption it makes for GDP growth, a key fact. Without knowing the GDP assumption, the article is totally worthless propaganda. The fact that the article assumes further tax increases and spending cuts would indicate that it may not be honest about the GDP assumption, either. So I’m going to consider this to be an ideological website, not a news site, and its purpose is propaganda, not information. That’s what the available evidence on this page would seem to indicate.

“Stabilized”??? It raises indefinitely — that’s like saying your credit card debt “stabilizes” as only 2/3 of your entire income for infinity ASSUMING your income continually goes up by enough to keep up with your out-of-control spending. The writer of this article is a complete moron.

I know when I want to hear authoritative statements on economic matters, people who call themselves names like “ObozoMustGo” is the first place I look.

And where are the spending cuts the Dems have promised?

“Oh, forget about those.. Just raise taxes and we won’t need them!’

Yeah — my mom warned me about hucksters like Obama.

No one rationalizes not helping people who need it. They rationalize not helping lazy people or people that choose not to work. An example is drug testing people who get money from the government. The left is against it! Why not? If you drug test for a job you should for free money!

The evil rich aren’t usually that evil. It’s the our government officials who are bought by them that are evil. The unions, Hollywood and some big business own the left and big business own the right.

We the people have a spending problem despite what the President tries to feed us! I realize blaming the right for everything is what Obama wants us to believe but his spending that he called un american a few years ago is out of control!

We (the people) do NOT have a spending problem, Congress does.All spending must originate in the HOUSE, Boehner’s domain. We (the people) get confused with what a government needs to spend and what politicians do spend to guarantee their reelection which is all they are interested in anyway. Since its inception the USA has been governed by the rich making laws that benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else. Magna Carter be damned. Instead of one king we now have many (multi-billionaire) kings who want to be taken care of first over the needs of the many. The worst problem is with all the wanna-be’s who want an easy access to these paths to become king like themselves. They control our decision makers (also wanna-be’s) who like to be friends of the rich and powerful. Everyone else gets left in their dust in that climb to the top they cherish. They rationalize that we can not afford to help those who really need help because they have to help those with so much get even more. Pathetic.

We need to cut out the wars for profit and the business subsidies, take off the cap on earned income for Social Security and Medicare taxes, and undo the Dubya-era tax cuts.

Unfortunately for the people, there’s just not the kind of money to be made
governing for the people, as there is governing for the fat cats on Wall Street.
Since The Supreme Court found in it’s infinite wisdom, money equals speech,
the monied elite were handed a megaphone, and the rest of us had our mouths
taped shut.

I am so on board with that, you can’t even imagine. I sure hope your right because i’m starting to lose faith.

I cannot address H&R Block at all, except to ask why is a company that prepares tax returns so involved with health care reform? I can only guess they see some kind of profit in it somewhere. I know that 25-30 million uninsured Americans sound horrible, but right now there are close to 60 million without access to insurance, so it will be an improvement. Let’s hope the the exchanges work out better than anyone thought they would and you find that you can get coverage through them. I do not agree about Universal Healthcare. If enough voter demand it, we will get it. No one ever thought we would get Medicare or Social Security, but we did because there was big support from the public for both programs. Never give up hope.
