Romney vs. BO - Saddo's kids race mongering thread

[Gandalf]

I see the tax hike for top earners as a red herring. If it happens it won't personally affect me but it irritates me that it is the center piece of the conversation, particularly b/c it is a drop in the bucket. It raises 80 billion. Great, now where does the other 900 billion come from to balance the budget? Even discretionary spending is a pointless discussion. Until there is a serious discussion on mandatory spending then the whole discussion of debt/deficit reduction is a farce.

Taxing the rich and military spending reduction. It is insane that people say entitlements need to be reduced when military spending is more than pretty much the combined forces of the entire galaxy. Certain issues are just never put on the table.
