What Are We Going To Do About National Debt?

by **Stantun** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 2:34 am

You cannot fix the economy without investing. That is a fact. People take out loans to take care of debts. They borrow money. Money is always given to deficient causes to enable them to begin producing money again. That is what Obama did with General Motors. Now GM is ON TOP again, producing money for the country and sustaining thousands of jobs. The GOP wanted to just let GM go town the toilet. Had we done that, we would be even worse off and that is just one example of how doing nothing does NOT help this country. You have to spend money to make money. If you don't get that concept, you should also hate the trickle down theory. Give all the money to the rich and let them create jobs. Problem is, in that case, they just put the money intended to create jobs and give back to Main Street, in off shore accounts so it cannot be fairly taxed. You cannot have it both ways. This country does not have that luxury. It has to look worse now to kick start businesses back up and running and they need money to do that. What, you just want them all to go down the drain? How will that help our economy in the long run? At least spending the money now to generate money later will give us that option.Republicans are the do nothings. Unless it comes to war, they have zero solutions. As far as my 'factual informations', should you actually seek out factual information, you would find the same information everyone else does. I have not schooled myself on Democratic talking points. Obviously you spend a great deal of time distinguishing talking points of the parties. Your time would be more well spent investigating facts.

If you have many sources, why would you link that one? And I have never, to the best of my knowledge, linked any of my factual information to the Democratic Party site. Are you allergic to facts? @Goldie 22 months ago

The only intelligent thing to do is impliment an austerity program until the debt is paid off, increase taxes especially on the wealthy and corporations and pass an amendment keeping the country from going into debt ever again. Schelli 22 months ago

Because it regulates them and requires them to produce safe, environmentally clean products in a safe work environment for the employees? Or because it forces them to pay taxes for the benefits it receives from the infrastructure of this country? Or the laws put in place to try and protect the people of this countyry from another Enron? Schelli 22 months ago

You wanted to know what to do about the debt,I told you and you didn't like it.Let's do a very simple example,You make lets say $1000 and pay $150 in taxes.I make $100 and pay $35 in taxes,you most deffinetly paid more in taxes collected,but you didn't pay your fair share,to pay the same bracket I did you should have paid $350.Wealthy seem to be in a 15% Bracket and the working Joe seems to be in a 35% Bracket and you think that is fair??Only super right wing REpublicans would think that is fair.And you don't think making companies that pay no tax,would make any difference??aren't you the one crying how in DEbt your country is?wouldn't those tax dollars look good on your debt??seems to be your only way to fix the problem like always throw the working class and poor under the bus.must be a conservitive thing.

I got an idea,how about making companies like these start paying taxes..http://socyberty.com/politics/large-profitable-companies-that-paid-no-taxes-in-2010/And how about,getting the wealthy to step back in their propper tax bracket?Maybe get your military home?And that's just a start.

If no big spending bills have passed in over a year, how is the debt growing? Not enough revenue? You have to first decide on the problem, before you begin working in solutions. If all you want to do is place blame(PBO), then you can just say everything is a problem.Or you can just chant "lower taxes"(as a solution) without even understanding the problem.(When Reagan was President, rampant inflation was the problem, so lower taxes was a good solution. Inflation is not the problem we face now, so a different solution may be required.)Max's comment on women was a response to your question, or weren't you paying attention?(See I can sling silly insults, too. And they mean just as little...) @Goldie 22 months ago
