Obama: More Tax Increases Possible to Reduce the Deficit
President Barack Obama greets people as he visits Island Snow for shave ice in Kailua, Hawaii, during his holiday vacation, Thursday, Jan 3, 2013. (AP)
President Barack Obama said he’s willing to consider more spending cuts to lower the deficit, as long as they’re coupled with more tax reforms.
Using Saturday’s weekly address to praise Congress’ last-minute deal to avert the “fiscal cliff,” Obama said it’s “just one more step” in the larger effort to boost the economy and reduce federal deficits. He said this week’s deal raised taxes on the wealthiest Americans while preventing a middle-class tax hike that could have thrown the country back into recession.
“I believe we can find more places to cut spending without shortchanging things like education, job training, research and technology all which are critical to our prosperity in a 21st century economy,” Obama said, speaking from Hawaii where he is finishing his holiday vacation with his family. “But spending cuts must be balanced with more reforms to our tax code. The wealthiest individuals and the biggest corporations shouldn’t be able to take advantage of loopholes and deductions that aren’t available to most Americans.”
Obama fired a warning shot to members of Congress over what’s shaping up to be the next big partisan battle: the debt ceiling, which must be dealt with by the end of February.
“One thing I will not compromise over is whether or not Congress should pay the tab for a bill they’ve already racked up,” he said. “If Congress refuses to give the United States the ability to pay its bills on time, the consequences for the entire global economy could be catastrophic. The last time Congress threatened this course of action, our entire economy suffered for it. Our families and our businesses cannot afford that dangerous game again.”

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 9:12amThat ****** couldn’t wait 24hrs after I claimed it, to confirm it. The majority of us have known since before November, that Obammy’s re-election would mean higher taxes on EVERYBODY, down to the impoverished newby illegal alien.
The math was so simple, even a mentally handicapped Lib could figure out that his program to “provide” healthcare for everybody, plus his insistence on doubling down on wasteful borrowing and printing to increase wasteful expense; his determination to take from those that produce in order to increase the number of dependents on government handouts (financial slaves, like some of you), was un-doable, EVEN with tax increases on everybody.
To put it smply, for those of you with an IQ higher than a rock, think of Obammy’s promises and programs as a bucket with holes on the bottom, and his tax schemes, borrowing and spending and printing as water for the bucket. Where will the water go?
Now you got it! Good Libs! Go take your brothers cookie and eat it!

They will say low information voters will pay less tax(but they don’t pay ANY Federal Income Tax), the middle class will pay less Tax ( They will get hammered). The rich will turn to alternative tax shelters and more money will disappear. Fact is, the so-called poor will pay more, the middleclass will get hammered by Barry and his expanding hidden taxes( Barrycare ) and the Rich will pull back.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 10:35amMost people don’t know that BILLIONS of American tax dollars were sent to foreign countries for use towards their “un-employment” programs – whereas American’s are being “soaked” for every penny we have.
It’s called “redistribution of wealth” to some of you “less informed voters (morons)”, and if you had used what little brain you had during the election, you would have known what was going to occur. So, I say – enjoy all those lovely little tax increases – and I truly hope it hurts.
And if you think Obummer is done – well, now he doesn’t need his “cash cows” or “illiterate voters” to vote him in for a second term – so things should start getting real interesting!!

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 10:52amExactly! (all of you so far) Why doesn’t the DOPE say anything, one word, a sentence…anything about
WASTEFUL SPENDING? DUPLICATION? IF the bloody Fed. GOBMENT would stop trying to live our lives for us, stop trying to be our (inept) Nanny, DO what they were elected to do…we wouldn’ have a deficit.
But This is probably a situation that will have to run the course so those who have been so fooled by this half-baked hot-shot will finally “get what we’re saying” ! They can’t name ONE program the GOBMENT has done better than private Industry… IF we even rolled back to Pre-Obama days we’d be much better off. SOMEONE up there in DC is going to have the guts to just say “HELL NO”… will it be RUBIO? RAND PAUL? What about some Governor… WALKER? (certainly not Christi… he got duped…duh) Obama is having a great time spending OUR MONEY (on himself and his family) and poking us like the mentally unstable character he is.
Tell you what, you Unions and other Liberals…you had better figure it out and do that fast, because like sand running out of an hour glass … once it’s gone…it’s gone and there won’t be anyone to ‘hit up’ … Moderation is a great word…none of you know it, so you’ll have to learn the hard way. Those of us who have been preparing, paid off stuff, stocked up stuff…we can ride it out…you guys looking for free-be’s ….not so much.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 11:00amYou guys raise an interesting point. I wish we had a “demographic” of the IQ of voters in the last election. Now we know IQ doesn’t tell the whole story, by a long-shot, but you know being conservative requires an ability to “reason”, being liberal only requires “feelings”. My guess is Obama got elected by the low-intelligence “sector”. You know, the “less fortunate” (translation: those who don’t try or can’t).
By the way, I now know many “Ivy League” graduates, like those in politics who are absolute idiots. Maybe there should be an RQ-test for “Rationality-Quotient”.
You know with questions like: If you make $300 dollars a week and have weekly expenses of $500, you should:
1) Cut back on your expenses (e.g. don’t go out to dinner 3 times a week)
2) Take out a new credit card immediately
3) Use your ink-jet printer to print money
4) Rob your neighbor (not his name, what you’re going to do to him)
5) Go on vacation to think about it

If these big corporate farms who bought the land for investment and then turned around and signed up for the Government program C.R.P. We call it CRAP, but what it does is pay you not to produce crops.If all these guys with 5,000 to 20,000 acres planted corn, wheat & oats we could double the bio-fuel and then th regular farmers could sell half of their grains to the grocery stores. As far as the debt cealing Congress needs to raise it $$ 24 trillion and that will get Obama into his third term.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 12:06pmIt is amazing to watch the destruction of America while to solution was so simple.
The Republican want Welfare reform, and the Democrats state that reform would push Granny of the cliff.
As a Compassionate Conservative, I would never support or vote for any bill that would cut a single penny from anyone receiving Welfare. Even those that receive a Welfare check that have the ability to work but refuse too. Those people and those that commit fraud in the system can be dealt with at a later time.
WHERE I WOULD CUT – is the amount of Govt it takes to pay just one recipient. It cost you, the Tax payer $80,000 to pay just one Welfare recipient check of $800 to $1000 a month. $80,000 to pay $1000 – I ask you what business could ever operate that way.
So the next time you here a Conservative talk show host, or elected Official mention Welfare Reform or spending cuts – understand you are listing to an idiot that has no idea what it cost to pay Granny and yet they want to starve Granny instead of doing some simple math.
Romney didn’t know how to explain the message of cuts, Glenn, Shawn, Rush or the Blaze does not know – nor do they care. They simply want to cut the amount a little old lady barley getting by on his/her little check of $800 to $1000 a month.
Just think of what the Conservative party could do if we had a communicator that could explain cuts and waste in Govt and not scare the hell out of Granny.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 12:12pm“President Barack Obama said he’s willing to consider more spending cuts to lower the deficit, as long as they’re coupled with more tax reforms.”
That is a lie, Mr. President. Higher taxes means more money for you to waste, and nothing more. WHY do you have to have higher taxes before you would consider spending cuts? That very statement demonstrates some seriously messed-up thinking on your part. You should be cutting spending regardless of any other considerations. But you are using something the country desperately needs as a political weapon, holding the country hostage to get what you want, and you don’t care how bad it is for the country.
Then, if you get your wish, we’d still never see any spending cuts. How can you give us a spending cut when you don’t even know what a spending cut is? To you, spending cuts are to the baseline budget. But baseline budget cuts are imaginary. They’re all in your head, because the baseline budget itself is conceptual, not actual. If a gas station sold gas for $4/gallon, then increased the price to $4.45, you don’t call that a cut in price just because they were originally planning on increasing the price to $4.50. But that’s what your “budget cuts” are like. Cuts in the baseline budget are imagined cuts to imagined future spending. We want ACTUAL budget cuts, spending less than we’re currently spending, not some political word games used to claim that your increased spending is really a spending cut.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 12:34pmCase and point – it cost tax payers $200 a month to pay for just Obama Phone – you do the math. Multiply, $200 times each of the Obama Phones given out by Obama.
What you don’t know how many Obama Phones were given out – my point exactly! Stop listing to Rush, Shawn, Glenn and the Blaze. The Blaze is only a platform for Billy Hallaway to demonize the Christian Church and he’s the Faith Editor of the Blaze. Conservative values are not going to be exposed and explainable here.
Give up – Here is the answer – 10 Million Obama Phones were given out right before the election . Crickets from the Blaze and our soon to be untrusted Conservative talk show host. Yet we can watch a fire ******* blows up in side of Jello on the Blaze, as the Greatest Nation on Earth’s Monetary System collapses.
News Tip for the Blaze, when the monetary system of the US collapses, the Blaze can take their cameras to grocery stores around the countries and record as starving families try to pay for a loaf of bread with US Dollars. This should give us all a good laugh.
How come Obama was the only one to use the words Monetary Collapse in his executive order, yet Shawn, Rush and Glenn never mentioned it, they use the words Economic Collapse – HELLO, WE ARE IN AN ECONOMIC COLLAPSE and waiting for the MONETARY COLLAPSE that is coming.
Good job Glenn, you really have the Liberal Media shaking in their boots. Also, give Billy Hallaway a raise, he has your audience believing his crap.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 12:36pmObama: More Tax Increases Possible to Reduce the Deficit
The Republicans & any sane, intelligent person are playing whack-a-mole when debating Obama or any other liberal.
It has already been pointed out that if you taxes a 100% of what the top 10% make or confiscate their wealth that you will not close the budget deficit.
So why do the Democrats love play whack-a-mole? Because they have no sustainable solutions to their problem, they get their power from spending, and they get so much mileage out of Kabuki theatre.

No problem with balanced approach here.
Doesn’t these political yuks ever need a break from this crap. Seriously, they have created a new holiday disorder by passing trash, debt creating bills at midnight on holidays. what should we call it PHAPID (pre-holiday anxiety political induce disorder) and for after the results of their disaster are written in news because they never read the bills they are voting for, we suffer PHNISD.

That is good. Many other people have pointed out data dumps of harmful information to administration on a Friday afternoon. Tactic is to delay the information getting into the public sphere long enough to prevent it from costing an administration political capital or momentum but causing your opponents to lose theirs. Then when a report bring up that the dumped material was damaging & the opponents were right, claim that they adhered to the law by releasing it & that it is old news.
Worse than the weekend dumps of embarrassing information is the Holiday spending sprees under the cover holidays and/or crisis.
It is a PANIC ATTACK! It is a bad movie that we have to see again & again. It is like being forced to watch a “Friday the 13th” movies over & over again every Xmas & you don’t like the horror genre.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 1:19pmIf Glenn’s staff would get off their butts and report Waste in Govt like Glenn exposed Soros, conservative may have a message to take to our politicians.
I’m apologize, but economics was one of my favorite courses in College and what I learned has been a curse for me everyday when I listen to idiots that talk about Tax Revenue – how about just cutting Govt waste.
Right now there are Govt offices spending their budgets on brand new office equipment and putting it in storage because they don’t need it. Then next year, they need to make room for the new purchase of Office equipment they don’t need, so they dispose of last years brand new equipment.
True Story! Billions is wasted every year and we have Bainer who has never taken a math course much less understand how to cut waste and lower a budget. Expose the waste and the American people will make sure it gets cut. That would be the job of the Blaze and not sure if they are up to it.

No tax refund if you didn’t pay any in, i.e. earned income tax credit. Everybody with some “skin in the game”. And all additional revenue pays down the debt, i.e. no additional spending. While we are reforming lets reform social security and let people under 45 choose whether to pay payroll taxes or into a ira plan. Lets reform medicare by letting government employees keep their insurance for life and not be forced into medicare, this should go for ALL pensioned folks regardless of where they worked.

On the opposite side of the street is an ARCO gas station.
Does anyone see a business capable of providing 200,000 rounds of jacketed hollow point rounds to the Federal Government? There’s not even a MailBoxes Etc to accept mail! 105 S Eastern Avenue looks like the parking lot for a bodega.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 4:25pmBURY obama with investigations, obama is a skilled and brazen liar supported by a radical media and enabled by a disintegrating American culture. Given that the President has significantly expanded the Executive Branches power to rule, how can our representatives corral the corrupt ideology destroying our Republic?
History shows us that a suspect Executive Administration can be slowed and in many cases stopped through the skillful and vigilant investigations provided by congressional committees. Serious investigation’s focused on not only the President but his entire cabinet can create an untenable environment for those with much to hide. It’s time that John Boehner grows a set & releases the political hounds in our fight against a corrupt President. In battle life is finite. Republicans must decide if they want to go out on their feet or their knees. President Obama’s pride and unlawful predilections are obvious weaknesses and the time has come for Congress to use its only remaining weapon to protect what is left of our Republic and our Constitution.

If ALL of the income was confiscated from the top 2% — just take 100% of it — that would be about $700 Billion, roughly HALF of the deficit. Not half of federal spending, which is $3.5 Trillion — half of the $1.2 trillion deficit. So if the problem is income, then dear sir, they are going to come for 35% of YOUR income.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 7:10pmHey KeatonC, Since the people who are going to be paying the higher taxes are already paying over $100,000 a year in taxes, shouldn’t it be the unproductive welfare recipients, who do nothing but ask what can they get from the government, that are forced to give up what they haven’t earned anyway
Are not the ones living on the welfare dole the ones who are NOT giving to their country, but rather taking from it?

Long ago, I bought a couple of books printed
back in the ’80s, by Martin Gross, who was a
former Washington ‘insider’. He detailed much of
the waste going on back then, which by now has
expanded 10X. IMHO – just doing away with the
waste today would make a big dent in our problem.
We have allowed our ‘exaulted’ congressmen to become
would-be kings and queens, giving their own raises,
exempting themselves from laws they impose on us, etc., etc.
The balance has, I’m afraid, shifted to their court, and we
may never get it back, barring all-out revolution. Which is
why the mad scramble to take away guns….

The rich will still wind up paying more, the middle class will join them, somehow they will make the repugs take the blame for everything and regain full control of congress and finally Obama will play the student loan forgiveness to garner favor to repeal twenty-second amendment.

Well, the people on the government plantation don’t really give a rat’s a$$ if our taxes go up or not. they don’t pay, but they do collect. Also, you are correct the middle class is going to pay and pay because that is where the real money is located.

Posted on January 6, 2013 at 8:59pmAnd my first paycheck of the new year has already taken a hit from the TYRANT.
From 2009 STIMULUS rates of 2% back up to 6.2%.
And ALL FED employees are getting a PAY RAISE, when they don’t even pay into SOCIAL SECURITY.
Hussein is finishing off the private sector. Soon we’ll all have to WITHDRAW our talents from this great nation in order to save it just like in “Atlas Shrugged”.

Posted on January 12, 2013 at 8:03pmVery interesting point of view. If you liberals or others who only get your information from the main stream, Obama worshiping,Democrat lap-dog media believe that Obama is interested in REAL AND SERIOUS spending cuts,then you’ll believe the sun will rise in the north tommorow and move south. Obama and the democrats and possibly some jelly spined republicans is only interested in raising taxes and spending money like it’s burning a hole in their pocket and taking care of their big supporters.

(Which is why I’ve decided to stake out my non-negotiable position which I am willing to let the economy grind to a halt over if I don’t get my way. I refuse to spend less money, and I insist the path to fiscal responsibility is through an endless procession of highly symbolic tax increases that fail to raise any significant revenues…)

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 4:48pmYes, we can now be sure he has no intention of ever making this a “balanced approach” after the last-minute Senate bill included $600 Billion in revenue (over the next 10 years) and only $15 Billion in spending reductions, also over the next 10 yrs. That’s a 1:40 ratio, and the spending reductions amount to a drop in the bucket. His “balanced approach” is smoke, mirrors and sham.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 10:36amRJJ he is coming after the middle class since they are the workers. He just praised the congress for averting the fiscal cliff (aka caving in on all principles to give him most of what he wanted) and in the next breath brags that he is looking forward to the next fight so he can get more of what he wants in the next round. He already started the rhetoric of “congress needs to pay for bills they racked up” but actually this congress didn’t rack up obamacare it was a different congress that made the bills now he demands this congress find a way to pay for it. All the middle class who have been working all their lives and sacrificing by not taking expensive Hawaiian vacations will now be asked to pay more for Medicare because they have a 401(k). The social security fund they paid into was used to fund SSI for those that didn’t pay in so now they will be “means tested” and not get the benefit they were promised when the taxes were taken from them all the years they worked. More of that redistribution but not from the wealthy from the middle class.

Trillion Dollar Coins: The Ultimate Debt Ceiling End-Around? – ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/01/trillion-dollar-coins-the-ultimate-debt-ceiling-end-around/
“It goes like this: Should Congress fail to extend the U.S. debt limit — reached again on Dec. 31 —
the president could ask the Treasury to begin printing trillion dollar coins (in a process explained mostly
seriously by Jim Pethokoukis on his American Enterprise Institute blog), a number of which could then be put toward fulfilling debt obligations in the event new legislation stalls in Congress.
While there are laws in place to regulate how much paper, gold, silver or copper currency can be circulated by the government, there is nothing so clearly stated when it comes to platinum. That door open, the Treasury could have the U.S. Mint melt and mold a few trillion dollars of it, then ship the goods over to the Federal Reserve for safekeeping until the time comes to pay the bills.”

Putting A Trillion Dollars Of Platinum In Perspective
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-01-04/putting-trillion-dollars-platinum-perspective
“Now, putting the sheer legal idiocy of the proposal aside, and CNBC’s John Carney has written a good article about why it is indeed, legal idiocy, the simple reality is that for this retarded idea to work, there has to be some justifiability, or even remote credibility of the “legal tender” backing the value. Sadly as the chart above shows, there can’t possibly be such justifiability.
Or can there?
Remember, as we said, the chart above is indicative of reality at today’s prices. So if the Treasury plans on literally coming up with ridiculous laws, what is there to prevent it from merely coining a one ounce, or half an ounce, or one gram Platinum coin and assigning it the value of $1 trillion.
Sure it can. There is a problem with that, however: it is called currency devaluation and is also what FDR did with executive order 6102 when he confiscated America’s gold – he basically devalued the US Dollar by well over half overnight (which, for all those curious, is the endgame in the current depression also, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it).”

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 11:52amcontinued ——-
“In other words, when one strips away with all the rhetoric, all the advocates of this insidiously stupid idea which gets a new life every time there is a debt ceiling crisis, are doing, is arguing for a massive devaluation of the dollar: because for the trillion dollar coin idea to be even remotely plausible, the price of Platinum, and by implication the entire precious metals complex, would have to go up by a factor of some 1,100.
It also means the value of the paper US currency would have to go down by 1,100.
Which, by the way, is precisely what all those who wish for the Fed to continue funding America’s unprecedented spending binge, which can never be satisfied by taxes alone, are hoping for.
And of course, they will eventually get it.”

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 8:43amYeah, because everyone knows that there is no way to find ANYTHING in federal spending that can be cut. Government is the most efficient institution on the planet, we all know that. The ONLY way to reduce the budget is to raise taxes and take more money from those who produce to give to those who are takers. I mean really, is there any other institution on the planet who can spend money in a wiser fashion than our federal government?
This man (and I use the word ‘man’ very loosely) is a blooming idiot and hates this country. He is anti-American as is every person who voted for him in this last election. Giving our government more money is the same as giving a heroin addict a free supply of needles and heroin to break their addiction. It is time for our government to go on the ‘cold turkey’ plan. The states and people need to band together and stop paying taxes to the federal government completely. Cut off their blood supply. That is the only way short of a civil war to make them stop. The time for waiting for elections to change things has past. We have too many people who vote for their own self interests, not the best interest of our country or future generations.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 8:35amHere we go, Obama is determined to exterminate the Reagan legacy of lower taxation and economic prosperity at all costs. He will seek to reinstate the highest taxes this nation has known in its history while ensuring his cronies and supporters are free and clear of the ruinous taxation, direct and hidden, all the rest of us will be crushed beneath.
Understand clearly – Obama will promise much and deliver on no cuts of any kind. He sees taxation as the path to prosperity via the government control and redistribution of wealth. The Republicans need to stand fast and hard for what is right and ensure that Obama’s plans fail.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 8:36amThere will be no cuts under Obama, only more regulation, taxation, fees, fines and growth of the Federal government until all is under their control.

Posted on January 5, 2013 at 11:55amThere will be no cuts no matter who is in office if we only have the current cast to chose from.
I know there are many who were against Ron Paul and I am not a Paulbot but he was the only one who even might have reduced the size of government. The rest of them would not even mention that as a possibility. Notice that even the republicans who claim to be tea party conservatives will not mention getting rid of a single government program when they get their chance on the air.
Something big needs to be done and the current cast wont even talk about it
