Opposing a cut because it is relatively small in terms of the entire budget is a chickenshit defense. I say nothing should be exempt. If a Federal agency or expenditure does not meet Constitutional muster, cut it.John picking the low hanging fruit is the easy and honestly spineless way of trimming the budget. The cuts all come to the same group: lower class and the poor.
I care about cuts that actually will result in REAL savings, not bullshit Moral targets (PP, PBS, NPR) that the GOP has had in their sights for a long time. Yeah John, making a poor woman unable to get a pap smear will really go far in balancing the budget. Collectively PBS, NPR and planned parenthood dont amount to a whole lot of the budget and you know it......like I said a year ago, the cause got hijacked by the moral majority types. ....Keep pushing that far right Christian Conservative bullshit, while not touching our major expenditures, oil and farm subsidies is a punt. Plain and simple.
And again, Wisconsin now has not 1 damned thing to do with the budget, it is about union busting. If we are so intent on lowering government expenditures why not cut pay for the military and slash their benefits too? They are federal employees too..........And dont forget John, when your side shuts down the government along w/ SS checks not being issued, military pay checks wont go out either. Way to support our troops
I stated that there should be no subsidies. Meaning I agree with you. How does that qualify as ignoring your posts?
When I owned my company the net income of the company was considered my personal income, as sole proprietor, as far as the government was concerned. Even though it was the income of the business and did not represent my actual salary.
A company posting a net loss owes no income taxes regardless of what it posts as gross income in its financial statements. Which was the case with GE if I remember correctly. And they accepted TARP funding. Another boondoggle I opposed.
As far as the oil companies are concerned, I need some context. I am not questioning your numbers, Ink, but I need to see some sourcing to vet them. I am respectfully requesting a link to a source.
And yes, you have claimed to be an Independent before. You stand with the Proggies so often, it slipped my mind. Mea culpa.
