Re-read what you wrote, recognize why what you wrote was dumb and come back and we'll all sit by the campfire and make s'mores.
hint: it has nothing to do with your comment about wars

That is exactly how your original post reads, and it sounds pretty ignorant. The dems will come in and say "Well what else has he proposed besides that", just wait.

If you are trying to balance your personal budget the first thing you do is cut out unnecessary spending, like Starbucks for example. PBS is the governments Starbucks, it can go and after a week nobody will miss it. |

You are taking his comment so literally and out of context that it is really hard for me to even go back and forth with you about it.

When people find it laughable to cut $445 million dollars out of our ever growing budget, you know we are destine to failure.

If you are a net consumer of the entitlement pot, then you'll be happy, if you are a net contributor, not so much. Like I said before, any initiative that calls for taking from Peter to pay Paul, can always count on the support of Paul. If there are more "Pauls" than "Peters" in raw numbers, and their votes count the same, guess what happens... I do understand that the liberals may not realize it at first, their joy upon learning their "idol" has got another 4 years will mask anything else at first. If it's anything like 2008, I expect to see people literally weeping with joy. Hopefully it does not cause them to drop their taxpayer-funded cellphones, it would just be adding insult to injury if I have to buy them another one. Probably sometime during Q1 of Calendar 2013, when people see that gridlock has continued, then the honeymoon will start to wear off and the hangover sets in. I wonder how many more budget proposals that fail unanimously will occur before the lightbulb goes on? |

![]() Rmoney is proposing NOTHING new. He's doubling down on the failed con "trickle down" policies. Sorry been there, done that, and look at the mess we're in based on the con policies under W. Does Rmoney really think we're all that stupid not to remember a mere 4 years ago???? ![]() |

I suppose if you visit a place like Yellowstone park, and you see wildlife who look really cute and hungry, you think the right thing to do for them is to feed them ? After all, it would be just plain cruel to watch them walk away hungry, something only mean Republicans would do. What harm could feeding them cause ? I mean, it's not as if all biologists all agree that feeding wild animals, and making them dependant on humans could posssibly be bad, or that some might even advocate that it's better for the overall health of the species overall to let 1 bear go hungry, than to feed it and thus cause it to not teach it's young how to fend for themselves either, thus disrupting the chain of the food cycle and upsetting the delicate balance in nature, causing huge, hard to fix problems down the road. Oh wait....... Well, I'm sure that NONE of that has even the slightest relevance whatsoever to human society... ![]() Apparently, the Democrats are counting on people not remembering Obama's ability to get congress to collaborate effectively from 4 MONTHS ago, let alone 4 years ago.... |

Yes, it's horrible to say. There is no useful lesson or correlation at all one could possibly extrude from ANY of that. I'm sure if you tried, you could find no data at all that even remotely suggests that people who rely on entitlements are more likely to have children who then also rely on entitlements, and they have more children, and so on, as the cycle continues and is really hard to break out of. As they have more children, the group of affected people get larger and larger. Of course, there's no data at all to suggest that those who do contribute most are choosing to have less children than ever before, wheras the birth rate for the other group isnt really going down at all. Hell, that would just make matters worse, so the ratio of contributors to consumers of "society's well" would become more lopsided in an exponential way, thus accelerating the rate at which the well will become empty, to the disadvantage of everyone. The harsh way animals are left to fend for themselves cannot be applied to people. I mean, it's not as if there are any sort of animal rescue or rehabilitation organizations which take wild creatures out of their natural habitat and care for them when they are physically injured and genuinely unable to feed themselves, thus leaving only the healthy wild animals to stand on their own 2 feet in a cruel darwinian way. Yes, the biologists are a mean and crazy lot..... thank God none of that is applied to people, that would only bring misery to the world. |

You can send them a check any day of the week, 365 days a year and explicitly tell them to use it to pay down the deficit. I'm betting you've done no such thing or are to cowardly with your own money to even pretend to do so because you know it will go straight to waste. Liberals just love to spend other people's money.

If he is playing "Rope a Dope" he may want to rethink his "long game" after that poor performance Wednesday night.
