Good luck getting a straight answer from any conservatives here. I've asked this question before, and most of them resent the whole premise of government paying for the services it provides. :roll:
As bad as our politicians are, at least we have a law that they must balance the budget.I have no doubt that we would owe many trillions of dollars otherwise.
Balanced budget.
Lower taxes are useless if we end up so deep in debt we have to devalue the dollar to get out of it.
Tax cuts and shoot the bastards who spend more than last year's revenue.
The issue is too much spending, not too little taxes.
The out of control spending by Obama and the democrats is doing that not tax cuts.
where were you during the last decade? You do realize that the start of the "out of control spending" was under a republican congress and white house right?
If you had to pick one or the other, which one is more important?

A government that could not run debt would cause societal collapse.

You can do both, you know.
Balance the budget by cutting some taxes AND (my oh my) reducing spending significantly.
But we can't have that bit of common sense - no indeed we cannot! That is just too logical!
The reason why we have such an egregious imbalance is because they chose ot cut taxes here and there but only increased spending exponentially (even Clinton did *gasp*)
Its both. Even if you were preparared to go along with ending both our wars immediately and cutting our military spending in half, and cutting the waste and fraud from our social safety net programs, it still wouldn't be enough without the discontinuing the tax cuts the wealthy have enjoyed for the last 30 years.

No, doing the right thing is a violation of the leftist agenda.
That's not automatic. Absolutely no reason the government can't exist using the revenues from the previous year. Especially this government, when 75% of the budget is unlawful and wrong.
No.
Tip O'Neill was a Democrat. All the socialist programs are Democrat inventions, and all of them violate the Constitution and should not therefore exist in this country.
