Krauthammer PWNS Obama on his deficit demagoguery


He himself, as we just heard, said you can’t reduce the deficit to the levels we need without raising revenues. Then he talks about the [tax break for] corporate jets, which he mentioned not once but six times. I did the math on this. If you collect the corporate jet tax every year for the next 5,000 years, you will cover one year of the debt that Obama has run up. One year.

To put it another way, if you started collecting that tax at the time of John the Baptist and you collected it every year — first in shekels and now in dollars — you wouldn’t be halfway to covering one year of the amount of debt that Obama has run up.

As for the other one, he mentions again and again, the oil depreciation tax break — if you collect that one for 700 years, you won’t cover a year of Obama deficits.

And then here’s my favorite. I worked it out in the car on the way here. If you collect the corporate jets and the oil tax together — get all the bad guys and the fat cats at once — and you collect it for 100 years, it covers the amount of debt Obama added… in February!

And he pretends that he’s the serious adult at the table.

Way to go Chuck!
 
Did he warn Obama that the Mexican Army is waiting to invade the US?

Yeah? And what about when Mexico sends their military up to take over America because we lack a military to defend ourselves? That's kind of a severe price to pay for reducing the amount of the deficit for one year by half. You still haven't come up with the other $600 billion we need to balance the budget for the year... what else are we going to do away with besides our military?
 
Seriously Dixie, get help. Do not try to operate a vehicle right now. Have your wife drive you or call an ambulance, but get to a pshyc center stat.
 
I guess you are just going to ignore the comments which precede that post, where Onzies suggested we completely defund the military in order to pay half the budget deficit for this year?

Seriously Dune, kiss my fucking ass! I don't need a psychiatrist, I don't need my wife to drive me anywhere, I am not in need of help. If you can't be grown up enough to have an adult conversation, go to bobthebuilder.com or something, and leave this to the big kids... really.

A few minutes ago, you seemed to be denying that you posted that. Which is it?

I denied your statement. The one you made in your obsessive other thread about this, from a comment I made in even another thread. Seriously dude, you are the one who needs some mental help... Dune should be worried for YOU!
 
I'm disappointed. I asked you to do one little thing for me, something you seem to have no problem doing, and you can't do it? Let's keep this thread at the top of the board for a while, because I think Mr. Krauthammer's point needs to sink in to some pinheads out there. Basically, he is saying Obama is full of shit with this idea that a corporate jet tax and elimination of oil subsidies, will take care of our deficit problem. Pass the corporate jet tax... remove the breaks for oil companies... and it still takes 5,000 years to raise the money to pay for 1 year of Obama debt!

Awesome analysis by The 'Hammer!
 
Think if we cut the defence budget just in half, Mexico could still sucessfully invade th US, Dix?

I don't know Dune, but cutting the defense budget in half gives you approximately $300 billion... you need 4X that much to take care of the deficit for just one year of the Obama budget. Plus, when you cut the military budget in half, that means half the military bases will be closed, and every town where one is located, will dry up like Deadwood in about a month... thousands will be out of jobs as a result. Sound like that might be GOOD for the economy, Bozo?
 
Okay... So we have...

Cut the military budget in half -Pinheads $300 billion
End Tax Break on Corporate Jets- The Obama $4 billion
End Oil and Gas Subsidies and Breaks- The Obama $6 billion

Subtotal = $310 billion.

1.2 trillion - $310 billion = $890 billion still needed for FY 2011.

Any more ideas??

Get rid of ALL mortgage and real estate tax deductions-- various pinheads have suggested this for upper earners, but let's say ALL... $150 billion

$890 billion - 150 billion = $740 billion remaining deficit. (We're not even half way yet!)

So, we've completely gutted the military and closed half the bases... We've socket it to Big Oil and Corporate Jet owners, and we have done away with mortgage and real estate deductions entirely.... STILL we have a $740 billion shortfall....... any more ideas???
 
Explain how my proposal "completely" guts the military and closes "half the bases", since I attached no dollar amounts.


We'll need a few bases along the border to repel the Mexican Army, won't we?


I have an idea.


Let's see a citation for your figures, Seven-Million-Dollar-Man.
 
Eliminate ALL farm subsidies - $140 billion
Eliminate ALL foreign aid - $20 billion
Defund NASA completely - $20 billion

Total: $180 billion

$740 billion - $180 billion = $560 billion.... alright, we are over half way there... No more NASA, no farm aid, no foreign aid, no military, no deductions, no tax breaks... but hey... we've cut the deficit in Obama's budget for one year in half!

Any more ideas?

(btw, moron... I didn't count most of your list because it doesn't apply.)

No, it was the other chucklehead who proposed cutting the military budget in half... that's $300 billion.
I didn't count your assorted military related cuts, because I assume they will be part of the aforementioned cuts.
