John Boehner Commits To A Ten Year Balanced Budget

[booybob]

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner...t-robert-costa

Lets see, we are running a TRILLION dollar deficit yearly and have a 16 TRILLION dollar national debt.
Boehner is basically planning on reducing the deficit by 100 BILLION A YEAR FOR 10 Years.
So after ten yers we will supposedly have a balanced budget but we will also have added 5.5 TRILLION IN NEW DEBT and the total debt will be close to 22 TRILLION.

Do you think this will happen?
Do you think the Democrats and Republicans could agree on this?
What do you think, is this unrealistic?
Should the deficit be cut faster?
How in the hell are we going to repay 22 TRILLION IN DEBT??

See, guys like Boehner are the reason I'm a conservative but not a registered Republican. He's exactly the same as Mitt Romney, in that he's a career politician and he just uses the party as the means to keeping his office and not having to get a real job. I live in Ohio, and I vote for him because the alternative is always worse, but it's ridiculous that whenever a serious conservative challenges these guys they are called wing nuts or fringe party members. I'm not saying they should shut down the government, but if you're going to take his positions you don't have any business being the speaker.

We need to spend more to put more people back to work to grow the economy so we don't have to borrow to pay people that are out of work.

Do you think this will happen? NO
Do you think the Democrats and Republicans could agree on this? probably not
What do you think, is this unrealistic? Not unrealistic at all
Should the deficit be cut faster?please show me any politician that is offering real numbers to cut it faster because democrats and republicans don't want to show you what needs to be cut.
How in the hell are we going to repay 22 TRILLION IN DEBT???????????????

yup. boner has no intention of cutting spending, any more than obama does. it's their drug of choice; taking from some and giving to confidantes. it's power.

and because of boner, it's unchecked executive power that threatens our very form of republic.

i don't think paying off the debt is even a consideration anymore; the hyperinflation that would spiral out of control in order to print money fast enough to do that is more dangerous than just not paying our bills.

we're the brokest nation in the history of the world.

[Bro]

He believes we need to spend to put people back to work in order to grow the economy so that we can pay off the debt.

If we don't answer the phone for 7 years, I think the debt goes off out credit report.....

[Bosch76]

When are we going to cut defense spending?

this & lets just not admit the debts legit... we should probably get a prepaid credit card in the meantime.

It has prevented us from going into a full out depression. It wasn't enough though. Republicans keep blocking real stimulus.

Limit recovery spending and then blame the spending when it doesn't work. Brilliant. Then say the problem is entitlements. Attack the programs that Americans rely on to survive. Brilliant. Protect millionaires and billionaires from paying a little more in taxes because they clearly don't hide their money and work the tax code to pay as little as possible. Brilliant. Defend the enormous military budget saying that we are in danger everyday from an attack even though we are the most powerful nation on the planet allied with the most powerful nations on the planet. Brilliant. Spend billions of dollars fighting insurgents armed with pea shooters and sling shots. Brilliant.

Block Obama from doing any real reform and then blame Obama for his failure to do any reform. Brilliant. When Obama threatens executive powers to push through legislation that most Americans are calling for so that obstructionists can't block him, call for an impeachment. Brilliant.

i would love to see your proof. the beautiful thing about economic policy is there's no control group, so dummy's can make up bullshit like your statement. you never know the results of the road not taken.


A control group in a scientific experiment is a group separated from the rest of the experiment where the independent variable being tested cannot influence the results. This isolates the independent variable's effects on the experiment and can help rule out alternate explanations of the experimental results.
