      Most Americans will NOT do the hard thing. They have lived in their cushy lifestyle and will do anything BUT cut back spending, which includes reducing Social Security, Medicare, and any other welfare programs. They just won’t do it because their mindset is “I won’t be around in 20 years to worry about it.” They will leave it all to their kids – the debt, the mess, everything. This country has been spoiled for far too long.

      The politicians will get everything they want at the cost of taxpayers. After a few years, they will live the life of luxury getting every benefit they think they’ve earned by serving we, the people. They won’t take very many cuts. It is the American people who must take the fall for everything.

      If I were President, I would ask all Americans to give 10% of their income (just take it by law) to pay off our debt (temporarily) – PERIOD. When the debt is paid off, then by law, take no more – remove the 10% tax). Then, I would order a 20% cut in pay to all politicians – period. I would impose term limits on all politicians – period without retirement. Start working for this country out of duty and service. Then go back to the public sector to work. I would allow the Tea Party to be the 3rd candidate party choice so we have more than 2. I would have the American people vote for the collegiate electorates. I would start drilling for oil in our own land, providing much needed jobs. I would tell the liberals to go stuff a sock in their mouths. I would remove CAIR as a valid organization since it has been proven they support terrorism. Kick them out of our country immediately – take nothing with them but the shirts off their back – no money of ours, no goods, nothing. I would put the option of God back into our schools. I would re-institute prayer everywhere, by choice (not forced). Supreme court judges would NOT be lifetime – 4 terms of 4 years, then the people of the USA would vote for their reinstatement. I know that it is a stretch, but we have way too many liberal judges on the benches in the USA. Federal judges, as well – limit their terms and then vote on them by the people. Redistrict states to their normal populations and NOT according to race, creed, or nationality for voting districts. Remove ALL special interest groups on Capitol Hill. They can advertise on TV etc, but cannot give to politicians EVER or they will be dismantled and run out of town. Remove the tax break for tithing. Start giving to God from the heart. All welfare programs will be voluntary. Get rid of the Federal Reserve. Get rid of the IRS as we know it – make it a 15% tax for ALL Americans with the option of a tax for SS or investment (your choice). NO DEDUCTIONS FOR ANYTHING. WHEN WILL THESE POLITICIANS AND LAWMAKERS USE THEIR COMMON SENSE TO RUN THIS COUNTRY? I have much more, but those are starters.

    There is a SIMPLE way out of our misery, but it appears that we are unwilling at this point and time to follow God’s advice. 2 Chronicles 7: 11 – 22 tells us exactly what we are to do to get out of the mess we find ourselves in. We read: When Solomon had finished the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the Lord and in his own palace, THE LORD APPEARED TO HIM AT NIGHT AND SAID: I have heard your prayer and HAVE CHOSEN THIS PLACE FOR MYSELF (the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem) as a temple for sacrifices. When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among MY PEOPLE (for MY PEOPLE, see 2 Samuel 7: 23 – 24), if MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME (God Almighty is called The God of Israel in Scripture; and we are Israelites of the tribe of East and West Manasseh, the sons of Joseph), WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES and PRAY and SEEK my face and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, then will I HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN and WILL HEAL THEIR LAND. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that MY NAME may be there FOREVER. My EYES and my HEART will always be there. As for you (meaning, Solomon), if you walk before me as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees and laws, I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father when I said, You shall never fail to have a man to rule over Israel (and we find this royal line of King David in Great Britain today hidden in the tribe of Ephraim, where Queen Elizabeth of the tribe of Judah sits on this throne). But if you turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you and go off to serve other (false) gods and worship them, THEN I WILL UPROOT ISRAEL (all 12 tribes) FROM MY LAND, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among ALL PEOPLES (the heathen nations). And though this temple is now so imposing, all who pass by will be appalled and say, Why has the Lord done such a thing TO THIS LAND (the land of Israel, where Modern Day Israel is today) and to this temple? PEOPLE WILL ANSWER, BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORSAKEN THE LORD, THE GOD OF THEIR FATHERS (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob), who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other (false) gods, worshiping and serving them – that is why he brought ALL THIS DISASTER ON THEM.
    Of course, we also have the blessings and curses of Deuteronomy 28 which also give us a pretty clear indication of what would happen to us if we did not follow God Almighty, and what would happen to us if we did.
    God can make a way where there is no way, and when we are ready to turn to Him again, He will deliver us from ALL of our troubles, and make a way for us to right wrongs and get back on track again. God’s word tells us that he is going to reunite and restore the Whole House of Israel, and He also makes the promise to us that He is going to RESTORE OUR FORTUNES. How He will do that, I do not know, but God knows. He will always keep His word. His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. They are both much higher than our own.

      You are right on, but as I said further down the comments, Americans will NOT do the hard thing and this is a country of CHOICE, which in God’s eyes, I believe HE inspired this country to be. Followers of Christ have no backbone. They fail to realize just who they really are. We have been grafted by God into the Israel tree as their brothers and sister. We should be standing with Israel. When Christians and followers of Christ KNOW the real promises of God – when they know the REAL God, then they will turn to Him, but I am afraid, it will not be done. I believe that is why America is not mentioned in the Bible anywhere. Personally, I believe we will be obliterated and it will be so because of sin. God will allow it. I am ready to meet my God. We only pass through this life to get to the next one, I believe. The true riches and rewards will be after death. Americans, bless God and He will return to us.

    If I was a Nazi Socialist or Marxist Communist in America trying to destroy Capitalism I would do the following:

    1. Attempt to monopolize all six major sectors of the freemarket, one at a time.

    2. First I would dominate the Retail Sector to promote red clothes and rebelious symbols. The aggression will allure young impressionable minds, drawing them away from their capitalist parents, and luring them into Socialism/Communism.

    3. With the money made from retail, we can then invest in the Financial Sector. Money makes money, and more money mean more political power. We could also open banks and Insurance companies that don’t check ID or Social security numbers, allowing us to give away free money to freinds and families who also want to destroy Capitalism. This will give us the added bonus of getting wealthy, while putting great debt on the sector, at the expense of Capitalist taxpayers. We also get very rivch all the while.

    4. Now that were Uber rich, we can my out all newspapers and other media outlets, paint them all red, and attack Conservative Capitlaists 24-7. We can also run health shows 24-7 to trick people into thinking we need big goverment healthcare, thus forcing Capitalist taxpayers to throw wheelbarrows of money at our many, many causes (to save the kids and elderly you know!)

    5.We can then take over the Energy sector, and jack up the price of energy & oil, forcing capitalists to dole out what ever little money they have left in their wallet.Our Middle East brothers will have no problems jacking up the costs, as they get very rich while watching the great satan suffer.

    6. Finally, I’ll use our mighty media to portray our Socialist/Communist Teachers as being innocent and loving people, while we trick kids into accepting our red agendas.

    I think I’m going to enjoy being an American Nazi/Communist sympathizer.

Second, I think it is funnier debt levels were lower when tax levels were higher. Funny how that works. I guess you can’t fight two wars with no money, and pass a medicare plan, and cut taxes without raising the deficit.

      through different loopholes, the top one percent actually doesnt pay much in taxes. Mostly because their income is transferred to stocks and other assets that are taxed much less than regular income.
      Additionally, if you want to lower the deficit, you need to create govenment revenue. Increasing marginal rates by 3% will drastically help decrease the budget gap, while not affecting the economy. If you look at market multipliers, more disposible income to the richest group of people has a very minimal affect on economic growth.

      Congressman Ryan has provided an understandable mechanism for the country to assess what their representatives and the talking heads on the television and in print are jabbering about. A few things to consider regardless of what side of the political divide you may be on:
      1. We live in a time when Capital is globally mobile.
      2. Regardless of what side of the political spectrum the investment class maybe on, they all seek the most efficient use of capital throughout the globe.
      3. Balancing the ledger of income (taxes and fees) and expenses (government programs) requires participation of the global capital markets.
      4. The global capital markets operate on predictable outcomes within a common agreed upon structure.
      5. Since early in World War II, The United States has built, sustained, and defended this global market structure at great expense in national treasure, blood, and political capital.
      I suggest that doom is not the only outcome foreseeable for our country. No rising country; China, India, Brazil, can afford to do what this country has done; either alone or in concert as a partnership to build and maintain a new global structure. Further, these countries have incompatible political systems and cultures and have geo-political interests that are at odds with each other. Therefore, I suggest that addressing the ledger and the specific policies; trade, tax, regulation, as a part of a global national strategy is necessary. It is understandable and reasonable that we focus on local, state, and national internal budget issues. However, these issues are linked and, if not addressed in the larger context in this political debate our country will not recover our preeminent position.

The tax rate even if raised to 66% for middle class, 25% for the lower income earners and 88% for the rich, the result will be the same only 20 years farther down the road. In short he said the deficit spending has to stop and stop now. If Obamacare isn’t repealed no matter what the tax rate is our going over the cliff will be inevitable.

      The flat projected tax rate is not a rate, but tax revenue. If you look at the actual trend previous decades the revenue/GDP ratio stays about the same no matter what the tax rates are. Raise the tax rates, and low and behold, it has no significant effect on net revenue/GDP ratio. If you want to raise tax revenue, you don’t raise tax rates, you grow the economy. If you want to lower tax revenue, you raise tax rates, stifle investment and economic growth, and encourage overseas economic growth.

      The devilcrats and liberal media just BLOWS HOT AIR about tax cuts increasing the deficit from a realists perspective…just more liberal lies to destroy freedom. The biggest loss of tax revenue we’ve seen recently is probably from the shutting down of oil production in the gulf and mexico. (Good news for George Soros investments…the traitors)

      In just ten years, our unpaid-for build up of Homeland Security and war-fighting has placed us in this position. The islamoterrorists added 2 Trillion to our debt since 9/11 by instilling fear in our congress and administration that has flowed into our people’s very consciousness. The difference in the amount of our class warfare between 1990 and 2010 is stark. We used to be proud and strong as a people, Standing Together, and ready (like Reagan said) for great things. We used to be the City on a Hill, providing American leadership in the hostile world with a characteristic bravery, and optimism.

      Well Reagan was the first president to double the debt. He cut taxes. then like most republicans presidents. he had to raise taxes when unemployment went up and he grew government at the same time. George Herbert walker Bush same thing. “read my lips no new taxes” he cut taxes. grew government and then had to raise taxes. Clinton the man you love to hate. Raised taxes on the top 2% of incomes by 3.5% and we had a boom in the tech market and handed GWB a surplus. In 8 years GWB cut taxes three times while tripling the size of government. with homeland security and drug benefit program and 2 wars unpaid for. borrowed from china. Anyone remember Emergency war suplimentals. I do. He never put any of the wars on the budget. You guys always claim Barrack O’bama tripled the deficit. I hear it all day long on fox news and a.m. radio. such a lie. BO put the wars on the budget for the first time in 8 years. thats what tripled the deficit. Yes he did the stimulus which the CBO a non partisan office. said created or saved 2 million jobs. He saved the auto industry which the CBO says saved over 1 million jobs. including the parts and dealers included. He did health care reform. wether or not you like the mandate or not. It will lower costs. the more people buying insurance the lower the cost. it like my job. we get a better rate cause we pool our employee’s so we get a better rate. and we have had 9 straight quaters of job growth. and the jobless rate is down too 8.9% i think when democrats are in the white house things get done. Republicans do nothing. Hey Mr. house speaker where are the jobs bills you promised Americans. Not one single job creating bill has gone thru the house. Guess how many abortion bills. 4 priority is jobs not wedge issue’s mr speaker. put us back to work and raise taxes to pay for the 14 trillion dollar national debt. Its the only way

      That pie chart shows the NET public debt. Those are only the private sector and foreign-owned treasury securities. The TOTAL/GROSS public debt, which also factors in the treasury securities held by the US GOVT. was $14.19 T, as of Feb. 28, 2011.

      Our gross public debt increased $5.0 trillion during Bush’s 8-year presidency. In just two years, the Traitor has added another $3.5 trillion.

      Our GROSS public debt as % of GDP (gross domestic product) rose 17.5% during the 8 years of the Bush admin (57% to 74.5%). In just two years of the Traitor’s rule, it has risen another 18.9% (84.4% & 93.4% of GDP, for Fiscal Years 2009 & 2010, respectively. (Wikipedia)

      NOTE: GDP figures for fiscal years 1940-2009 were revised in 2010, “due to significant changes from prior GDP measurements.” Beware Obama’s fuzzy math.

      In sum, thanks to the Traitor, our national debt now stands at fourteen point nineteen TRILLION DOLLARS and our GROSS public debt now equals NINETY-THREE POINT FOUR percent of our GDP (GDP being an indicator of the size of the economy).

      ===> “The higher the debt-to-GDP ratio, the less likely the country will pay its debt back, and the higher its risk of default.”

      The GOP needs to get Proactive with this. (communication-our Achilles Heel) 

      The Dems will go no further than 6 billion in cuts?  8 billion?
      Thank you.  

      Now we can forget the paltry and mostly ineffective cuts that we proposed in an effort of compromise and bipartisanship.  We have a serious problem and it will require serious changes.

      We’ve recognized that our Nation is in a fiscal emergency.  We acknowledge that we have overspent and over-promised for decades.  We are determined to no longer turn a blind eye to this crisis and pretend everything will be fine if we just allow for “Business as Usual.”  The Spirit of Spending Sprees Past that saw Democrats: 1) ram ObamaCare through to become law, 2) pass the stimulus package, and 3) offer that Omnibus spending bill in the Lame Duck session - must be exercised. 

      We took that message to the people in 2010, and we won sweeping support for fixing this crisis.  Now we need to enact our plan to do just that.  We have tried for three months to encourage Democrats to join us in restoring America’s fiscal solvency, stability, and strength.  We have asked for them to join us in putting aside our selfish nature, and to join in the difficult sacrifices all American’s must make so our Nation can regain her sovereignty.  They have refused to take this very real crisis very seriously.
      They’ve offered to freeze spending at the new, historic highs. They’ve offered a budget that proposes over 1 Trillion in new spending.  They‘ve dismissed the President’s own Deficit Reduction Commissions’ proposals. 

      We have seen the actions of elected Democrats in Wisconsin and Indiana.  We concede their resolve to protect the status quo by any means necessary -including the abandonment of their offices and States, their willingness to forgo working on a resolution, and their active consent to prevent the functioning of government.

      We will not allow our Nation, nor her people, to fall prey to our own shortsightedness.  Our economic recovery and strength relies on our reducing our deficit and debt.  The restoration of opportunity for future generations of Americans, begins with the 2011 and 2012 budgets.  Passing these necessary cuts in spending will be much more controlled and less disruptive to our Country than the forced savings of a Government shutdown.  However, either way, it is time to once again “secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity.”

      Maybe I can explain to the Left with an simpler way they may understand–using BEER

      THE TAX SYSTEM EXPLAINED IN BEER

      Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100… If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this……..

      The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.

      The fifth would pay $1.

      The sixth would pay $3.

      The seventh would pay $7.

      The eighth would pay $12.

      The ninth would pay $18.

      The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

      So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20″. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

      They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

      And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).

      The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).

      The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).

      The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).

      The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).

      The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).

      Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four along with the fifth man drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,”but he got $10!“ ”Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!“ ”That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!“ ”Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!” The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

      And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

      In case you were unaware of it, Congress writes the budget so deficits result from spending more than tax revenues. There is no evidence of raising taxes ever balancing a budget. Clinton’s tax increase was too small to claim. The real impact was Congress reducing spending.

      Yes, we have been brought to the edge of a precipice financially by the libs and their outrageous, irresponsible spending. Sad to say, those same people will never look at these charts. It’s like that fairy tale “The Emperor Has No Clothes”……the libs would rather lie about something rather than face reality. Thanks to Paul Ryan, at least some of us are willing to face the truth.

      Sad part is that 95% of the people don‘t even know what’s about to hit them.

      Dusty, I am always running into people that have no clue as to what is going on in this country. When I try to educate family or friends I am usually confronted with “really?“ which is usually followed with ”hey did you see what Lady Gaga did, or Charlie Sheen?”

      Sometimes I think we Americans deserve what we end up with. Then I stop to think “hey wait a minute, just because so many are stupid, it doesn’t mean I have to go along with them” so I continue the thankless task of fighting the progressive takeover of America.

      How about implementing some of Rand Paul’s fiscal cuts?

      As Americans begin to deal with the gas price increase of some 50 cents in the past four months, 16 cents a gallon in the last week, the unrest in the Middle East begins to take a more concrete position in the hearts and minds–and pocketbooks–of the citizens. This is going to sink in real fast about what the Lord says of Israel in Genesis 12:3, “I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curses thee.” The faster the enemies of Israel are established and reestablished the more we will see this very verse in the near beginning of the Bible play out before our eyes. Why? There is increasingly more evidence that the White House is behind much of the unrest.

      News outlets such as the UK Telegraph, the Examiner, the Jerusalem Post and more are painting a picture of a delusional American president working with international socialist organizations, the Muslim Brotherhood and other dissident groups throughout the Middle East to foment revolution in the name of democracy. The man who occupies the Oval Office told a group of Jewish campaign donors in Miami that Israel and the US should not be afraid of the changes taking place in the Middle East. He said, “I‘m actually confident that 10 years from now we’re going to be able to look back potentially and say this was the dawning of an entirely new and better era.”

      The new and better era, however, is truly one of perspective. If you are Islamic, the possibilitiy of a totally “Islamified” Middle East is greater today than in any other since the establishment of Israel in 1948. A Wikileaks released secret document reveals that the most powerful nation in the world, the United States, has been working to undermine governments throughout the Middle East. The public position, of course, is to establish democracy. In reality, however, the United States has done the heavy lifting of aiding and abetting revolution in the Middle East. As Redstate.com reports, “Now the Muslim Brotherhood, with the help of Iran and some al Qaeda support, will start the real revolution.”

      As America braces itself for $4 dollar gasoline and all the inflationary aftermath, those who can discern the scriptures will see the direct cause and effect of being rebellious to God’s word. God will not be mocked. In Isaiah 66:1 the Lord says, “The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool.” In verse 4, the Lord says, “I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear; but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.” This is a strong word today. And many will take offense. Understand, God judges nations and the truth of the prophecies are not denied. Gird yourself and pray for mercy.

      Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

      It won’t matter to the liberal – progressives, they will just call them lies and/or blame it all on the right! Well guess what GW Bush did it too, I blame ‘em all

      This is disgusting, and I hold EVERY DAMN one in congress responsible! Going back to the days of Wilson, the majority seem to be progressive crackpots. Not including the freshment and real conservatives here, but the majority of the others are fully responsible, and one day will face the music, just like all of us will – real soon! Our country is bankrupt, and we are at each others throats – for the love of God, we have gone MAD I tell ya!.

      Concur. The bulk of real taxpaying Americans will understand and support Ryan’s budget. The receipiant class, who don’t pay taxes (47%) and socialists/progressives would rather see our country go bankrupt than suffer any cuts–that is what they are counting on (bottom up…top down…. This will be a huge fight.

      Snowleopeard, you wrote:

      “Simple and blunt, just what is needed to shock people unto the reality of the situation”

      Let me get this straight, that is, the “shock people’ part. Specifically, which demographic are you referring to:

      The .001% of intelligent population who would perhaps watch Glenn Beck and read this site?
      The .001% of the criminals that run our country (e.g. the bankers, congress, etc).
      The .001% that represents our corrupt media.

      Or are you referring to the 99.997 percent of the U.S. population that cannot even balance their own checkbooks but can tell you all about what was on Oprah today, what Tiger Woods handicap is, and the finalists on America Idol.

      Just want to make sure I understand who you think this will shock?

      Thanks in advance, because perhaps the .003% of the population that should already know this didn’t?

      Consider this: What would you call an individual that took out a credit card in their child’s name, charged more than could be paid back and ruined that child’s credit and future? That would be a form of child abuse now wouldn’t it. ANYONE WHO THINKS IT’S OK TO SPEND OUR CHILDRENS FUTURE IS A CHILD ABUSER. Child abusers should not be allowed to serve in Congress. I‘m sorry but it’s true.

      Love how he extrapolates over decades. Oh well, I wouldn’t expect you conservatives, who fail to understand even BASIC economic concepts like fiscal stimulus and fiscal restraint (IE, clintons budgets), to make a reasonable argument about anything.
