Obama: I'll cut $4 trillion

not only was it recommended that we create ways to effect economies of the entitlement programs, but those same savings were also found to be needed in defense and other federal operations. and revenues increase

precisely

and where's the slasher

when's his next great speech, excellent speech

where's hurryup harry

cuz if something isn't done soon to reform the entitlements, they won't be there for the next generation

leadership, anyone?

echoes?
 
In Debate, there is no obvious evidence. That is not how debate works. If it is so obvious, just present it so we can verify it and examine it. You make a claim, you support the claim with evidence, we examine it and challenge it or accept it. That is how this works. This is not the I BELIEVE site. It is the DEBATE POLITICS site.

either you did not read the deficit commission report or you truncated what it said
not only was it recommended that we create ways to effect economies of the entitlement programs, but those same savings were also found to be needed in defense and other federal operations. and revenues increase - including revision of the tax code away from special interests - was another key component
you cherry picked that report


And Obama dismissed it out of hand, after he made a dog and pony show of setting it up. Now he wants yet another blue ribbon panel....Why? he has one, and their findings. This guy only want's those that agree with him to have voice. Typical.

so, you have substituted post count for fact and logic to determine whether you agree with what has been asserted

why so proud of your application of such a shallow, misleading gauge

wait a sec.. did I miss something?

He wants to set up 'another' panel to make recommendations about reducing the deficit/debt?

Like you said... he made a dog and pony show of setting the 1st one up... then ignored them when he didn't like what they said...until this most recent budget battle went down and he suddenly liked what they said.

yup.... election time is gearing up alrighty.

Can you prove that with links and evidence...???
:no::no:
 

Whereas the debt commission’s mix of spending cuts and tax increases reduced deficits by $4 trillion over 10 years, the Obama budget will reduce the combined deficits by $1.1 trillion.

1.1 trillion over a decade, or 110 billion a year? Since the deficit is currently just over a trillion and a half, that means that he plans to overspend by around 1.4T over 10 years, instead of 1.5T. So, that would add an additional 14T to the debt, effectively doubling it to 28 trillion dollars, or about 280K per taxpayer.

Nice.

Maybe Congress has better sense, but I doubt it.
 
They just cut $352 million from the budget to keep the government from closing down but the debt is still there so cuts obviously don't work. It's time to try tax increases.

They didnt cut the debt at all...they reduced the annual federal spending deficit of 1.4 trillion by a total of about 350 million. And you think the solution is to give people that annually spend 1.4 trillion MORE than what they take in taxes MORE money???
