Comments on: Great article on big government http://blog.schmichael.com/2009/09/13/great-article-on-big-government/ good good study, day day up Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:41:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Paul http://blog.schmichael.com/2009/09/13/great-article-on-big-government/comment-page-1/#comment-57217 Paul Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:47:46 +0000 http://michael.susens-schurter.com/blog/?p=716#comment-57217 "Hopefully our economy will recover quickly enough for President Obama to start paying back the deficit like Clinton did in the 90s." When there were still a few fiscally conservative Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Moderate presidents tend to be able to accomplish things. The issue is that Bush was so awful, and Obama so polarizing (he can't help he's black people, get over that subconscious issue for WAY too many of you) that any idea of moderation is gone and we're stuck doing nothing. Like usual. I'd be all for cutting 8-10% off Defense/Homeland Security if we also put in cuts in other programs. Ya know what, I'll go blog my comments on this and you can rip into them there. :) “Hopefully our economy will recover quickly enough for President Obama to start paying back the deficit like Clinton did in the 90s.”

Neither is what most of us start out to be part of but circumstances outside our control play a part. Forty-one percent of Americans not paying any federal income tax is one problem. Entitlements are 65% of the federal budget, 21% for defense is probably a bargain given the world we live in.
