#1 No you didn't answer me

#2 IF (ooh block caps, oh dear) you found it to be racist. And by this rational we can see that you've not made a fuss over the new member using "your boy" then we can settle that you have double standards and I can go back to doing as I damn well please.

You just wanted to use that GIF didn't you?

Also this whole "fiscal cliff" deal is a bunch of bullshit. Its a straw man argument so the liberals can get the Republicans to raise taxes which will only increase their spending.

Raise taxes on the 1% go right ahead....it won't help anything. That might raise billions of dollars but at the end of the day we'll have another TRILLION dollar deficet. And yet @Kirkland Laing will still be here saying America isn't taxing the wealthy enough but he'll make 0 mention of the spending. When you spend more than you make and you make a great deal of money then you don't have a revenue problem you have a SPENDING problem.


But whatever, the Democrats won everything I'll sit back and wait for them to screw shit up....and they will

America doesn't have a spending problem. It has a depressed economy problem. If the economy was returned to normal growth revenues would increase and wipe out the deficit. Since 2008 there's been an almost trillion dollar a year drop in demand caused by the 2008 bursting of the housing bubble. Replace that demand and you end the deficit toat least a level that is infinitely sustainable.

And that's why Obama's soon-to-be-revealed plan to keep all current spending unchanged and to spend an extra few trillion dollars over the next four years is such a good thing. The private sector aren't going to invest as there's already massiver existing overcapacity in the economy so they don't need to. The only thing that can return the exconmy to normal growth and end the deficit problem is massive extra government sdpending.

Raising taxes on the extremely wealthy does not solve the whole problem, but it's a start. Everyone agrees it has to be coupled with decreased spending. And reducing the deficit is going to be a slow, painful process. There's no magic wand that will make it go away entirely and quickly. Some of us just think that the belt-tightening ought to start at the very top of the wealth chain, that's all.
