Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Before any of you Barack Hussein Obama shills come at me about this link, PLEASE NOTE it's from the CBO, about as reliable a source of information as we have on the economy. Simply put, the numbers in this article are frightening and show how unmitigated a disaster the Bush and Obama administrations have been. Think it might be time to jump ship while there's still a liferaft. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/50250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH3 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Clearly the answer is a flat tax or lower taxes that will spur growth, pay for themselves and launch us effortlessly out of this issue....win-win!!! That is what is so disappointing about out POTUS candidates....any grasp of this among them? 1. We have to lower the burden of health care on our economy - why we are happy with sending an overly necessary 8-10 percent of our GDP to a bloated and inefficient system - I can't understand why...develop a clean sheet of paper health care structure - that puts us in line with the rest of the world - 8-11 percent GDP for HC - that would solve MOST of these issues. 2. You are going to have to pop up the max on SS payments to saw off the budget deficit - wealthy going to have to pay more...the wealthy probably going to get means tested out of SS benefits. The rest (food stamps/welfare) don't add up enough to make a difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 It ain't pretty. During this election cycle, the R candidates IMO (and voters) would benefit greatly from some real presentations on the economy, spending, debt. It's hard to change people's beliefs and understanding in short sound bites with little or no data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
