cutting spending while raising taxes as a compromise

the problem with the federal government is that liberals and conservatives can only agree to borrow more money. they can't get enough consensus to get the deficit under control. a natural compromise would be to cut spending for conservatives while raising taxes for liberals. of course those conservatives who signed pledges never to raise taxes are hurting the country with their uncompromising ways. 

i would support that measure. who disagrees and why?

What's the harm in a deficit? 

As long as we have a high moody's rating, we can borrow more.

hey at least we studied how shrimp walk, think of all the lives saved with that knowledge, so grateful for government programs like those, please by all means take more of the money I earn with my blessing.

And donate it to the uber rich, that has always helped everybody never.

the tax system and loops holes have been a bane to the working class for a very long, long time but it benefits the rich in government so they remain and exist in the first place.  There's plenty of facebook posts etc about the net worth of politicians, even Bernie Sanders.  They want everyone to pay more, share more....except for themselves naturally, it's easy spending other people's money.  This is a major reason I want government control at a minimum, they are only self serving in spite of all the pandering promises they never intend to keep.

The rich is shit upon by jealous lazy fucks on a daily basis. It's hard enough to convince poor people to buy their products before they can make it to the corner store to blow it on cheap booze, fast drugs, and government lottery tickets.

If your wanting to raise taxes and cut spending, I'm fine with that.  We have a debt to pay off.

No,no and no, the people shouldn't pay for the fault of stupid politicians

polly is a cracker.

The gross ignorance of the conservitard.

talking to me?
