    How is something that has never happened...reality?

    Can you point to a year of 4% growth after tax cuts?

    They don't pay much so what's to bitch about? You worried that someone else might get to keep more of what's theirs, even though they're still paying a significantly higher percentage in taxes?

    If you want the govt to get more of your money, send it to them. I promise you that they will take it.

    None of those help the poor do anything but survive and stay poor.

    Medicare is so fraught with fraud that the govt could hire 10,000 new investigators at 100k a year in total compensation and wohld come oit ahead if they stopped just 5% of the current yearly fraud.

    Education assistance would be great if it required those receiving it to actually pursue a course of study thats likely to produce a good paying job.

    Social Security has been robbed for decades by both parties to pay for.pet projects. The only thing you will find in that trust fund in a stack of IOUs. If congress can find a way to keep it solvent for the next 20 years, the boomers will be mostly dead and the crisis will pass.

    Did you watch the video? Yeah, he signed it after a government shut down or two. Kicking and screaming. It wasn't his idea, it was Newt's.

    It wouldn't have happened except the GOP took over and passed their "Contract With America". Remember that?

    Bills do not become law, unless the president signs the legislation. Unless there is a veto proof majority, which gingrich did not have.

    The surplus is Clintons achievement.

    Whatever dude. Clinton shut down the government a couple of times trying to prevent the Contract With America provisions from being passed. Congress forced it on him. I don't care what you say.

    Achieved by implementing supply side economic policies. If it were not for the stains on a blue dress we would have also had privatization of Medicare into an insurance premium voucher system which would be far superior than the current system which now requires 3 working people to pay for 1 retired persons health care and is accepted by a limited number of providers.

    Democrats didn't read the bill, that doesn't mean Republicans didn't know what was in it. That's just what whiny Dems have been saying, but not one Republican has said they didn't read it.

    Liberals forget, when you cut taxes, you can cut spending. Yes, cut spending, a concept that liberals find difficult to understand, but I think Republicans will be willing to show you how its done correctly...

    Should'nt it matter that this is a thirty year old theory by two Jewish Swedes in regard to the Israeli governments budget of 1986? And instead of trying to divine the budget designers heart or intention as this/their theory attempts to do, why not just ask the budget designer or anyone privvy? And why would you just up and believe a "what if" today, thirty years later and half a world away. And then go so far as to accuse Republicans as if they were guilty of your "what if" theory by two skeptical Jewish Swedes in regards to the Jewish budget design for Israel in 1986. Sorry, but your logic is nutty, your intentions petty, and your tool, wrong. Maybe find another approach to find fault?

    Supply side economics results in 4% growth. Clinton implemented them and enjoyed a surplus due to reduced military spending as a result of Reagan’s military spending which destroyed the USSR. He also reduced the rate of growth of government and reformed welfare. Gov spending is controlled by the legislative branch.

    The entirety of that article is predicated on a falsehood. That the republicans expect to lose during the next election cycles and that's why they're doing this. That's so incredibly laughable it's not funny. The republicans are going to keep control of the senate and house without even much of an issue.
