    They do not line up for American surgery. You have to read fairer sources.
    As I said before, over a million Americans go abroad for health services every year. https://www.medicaltourismco.com/ there are many, many sites like this. You are a believer without knowledge. That is why you are a righty.

    same deduction as Obama year, we paid $5900 less in taxes that the year before which went to the wonderful returns of the 401k,

    I think you exaggerate how much they pay.

    I don't see his taxes or W2s, I did see a check stub once and he pays a little less than double the taxes I do.

    Good job! Nice! Good luck with that 401K!

    You may even be able to retire early if that thing keeps rising!

    They lie about everything. Even this user is almost certainly a sock that refuses to admit it. I don't believe any of their anecdotes for that very reason. Numbers matter, not what some McDonalds fry cook claims he paid in taxes last year.

    If you cut government spending and don't replace that spending in the economy, you will contract the economy.

    So if you talk about spending cuts, you need to show where that spending is being made up...and we know it's not made up by increased consumer spending.

    So if you pull $500B of spending out of the economy, or 2% of GDP, you need to make up that spending elsewhere otherwise you just contracted the economy by 2%, which would cause a recession.
    I thought I said it would hurt. It will take about 10 years of suffering. We have to pay for our sins but will be better off until irresponsible politicians again take control.

    For no purpose.

    The deficit and debt have very little, if nothing to do with the performance of the economy.

    All debt represents is a scorecard of government spending...so we have $28T of debt, BUT we have a lot of stuff to show for it like infrastructure, Medicare, Social Security, and our military.

    No one is going to come and repossess our ports or national parks.

    No collection agency is going to come and pull up all of Amtrax's tracks and trains.

    No cold caller is going to come a-knocking for the airplanes in our military.

    Reasonable people can disagree over whether those items were worth the expense, but reasonable people all must agree that tax cuts provide nothing for anyone to point to and say "worth it".


    We have to pay for our sins but will be better off until irresponsible politicians again take control.
    Or what? Is someone going to repossess the Grand Canyon?
