Yes yes... let's just use how expensive alternative fuels are to buy into the Progressive socialist change over of the country! :lamo
I suppose you can't address those facts? I am sorry that I prove time and time again that socialized medicine works out to be cheaper.
They're tightly combined - energy and economics... let's take it in steps shall we? How about we first set a goal to cut discretionary spending, and balance the budget before we jump ahead and start trying for a budget surplus. The progressive liberal in the White House just spent 4 trillion dollars in 2 years on bail outs. I think we need a breather, given the return on jobs, investment, housing, and now inflation starting to kick in... the improvements in our lives aren't quite what was expected.
We cut non military discretionary spending every time we need cuts. There isn't much room left. In fact, non military discretionary spending is easily the most streamlined budgetary item. If more cuts can be made without affecting the integrity of our most important programs, then fine, cut them. However, there is certainly some pork available in defense spending as well.
Then, of course, we can raise taxes back up to their already low rate before Bush took office, and gain even more money. We can slowly bring our troops home from over seas, and we can use that money to invest in our own infrastructure! That's sounds great to me.
Actually, I'd like change to be stop spending like drunken socialists on a bender, I'd like fiscal responsibility, I'd like government waste to be culled, earmarks erradicated, healthcare left to the states, the Fed shrunken, the FCC, EPA, Dept. of Ed, and a whole other host of nonsense like it removed from government and those buildings either bull dozed or rented to the private sector. And let's not kid ourselves, there aren't enough indians to shoot and we've shot them enough... but open day on progressive liberals sounds much more fun.
Man oh man. I wish I could live in another country as you and just let you do all that. I wish. Then you could get screwed over by every business since all your government regulations just went out the window, you can forget about clean drinking water, lower pollution levels, progressive energy policy, and equal public schools.
I wish I could give that to you, but unfortunately, most people in this country
don't agree with you. Most of us like our roads, we like our clean drinking water, we like our regulations that prevent unethical business practices, we like our education, and some of us would even like health care added onto that package.
Maybe you can move to Texas and secede. I think you'd have the best chance there.
