Most in US won't be able to escape 'fiscal cliff' Congressional Buget Office Report! | |
Lady Jane Smith Forum Administrator User ID: 21221078 United Kingdom 11/13/2012 11:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wish they would allow the US to fall off that fiscal cliff. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18110742 It isn't as bad as you've been led to believe. It will bring automatic MASSIVE cuts to military and government spending, while leaving entitlements alone. If we go off that cliff it will hurt them a lot more than it will hurt the people. Postponing it while coming up with more ways to destroy the people and this country is a good idea? WTF??? The entitlement crowd needs to suck it up along with everybody else. Why should they sick back, fat & dumb, while everybody else has to suffer? leaving entitlements alone? LMFAO!!! okay sparky, if you really think that, let's sit down again in 6 months and go over the map, k? just as long as it doesn't mess with your little corner of the world, you're ok with this? Do you realize that your "MASSIVE cuts to military and government spending" are PEOPLE People who work for the government, people who work for the military, people who work for government and military suppliers and the entire chain all he way back to your home state Government employment has been one of the ONLY bright spots in national employment figures outside of Texas (which has created over 50% of private sector jobs) Those people will stop spending and start trying to join you on the entitlement wagon...all while they stop paying taxes to help support the system and what happens then? You think entitlements are safe? You must have no clue of how these get funded, how deep in the red most entitlement programs already are, and what little it would take knock down the house of cards I know fully well how they are funded, have never been on welfare & despise entitlements (to be distinguished from programs people buy into). Where do you get the idea that I support entitlements? Read my post again. You are clearly a noob here & attacking someone who might otherwise defend you when you become the liberal shill target of the day.

Go back to using cash and avoid credit cards and using debit cards. Avoid banks as much as you can. Only buy what you need and can afford to pay cash for, not what you 'want'. Learn to enjoy the simpler things in life and learn to be more self-sufficient. Period. |

You think entitlements are safe? You must have no clue of how these get funded, how deep in the red most entitlement programs already are, and what little it would take knock down the house of cards I can answer all of that simply... A smaller government, cut to a minimum is beneficial to the people period. In what world where so many people are employed by the government can a people prosper? Government isn't the solution, it is the problem. Either way is painful, but cutting government spending massively and restoring fiscal responsibility will have the most benefit (long term) for all of us. I do not disagree at all that smaller government is the goal however, to think that smaller government and cuts in spending will somehow leave entitlements intact is naive Cuts are going to come...all the way around. They will come because the current level of spending and debt is unsustainable, and the can has been kicked beyond any road that was left However, look at europe. Austerity (i.e. cuts) will hurt, and hurt massively. The US was allowed a small recovery bounce, but the next leg down could be more painful than 2008 The chain reaction I outline will occur...whether people agree with the cuts or not is a matter of debate...but with reduced tax revenue WILL come sharp cuts in entitlements, and that is when the shit will get real for millions of people Those who voted for Obama thinking they were voting for the status quo are, I believe, soon to get a painful wakeup call |

Quoting: FatalW1shes If this is what they wanted and why? Are they truly happy now? I know they will blame this on Bush still. Because of what Bush did, Obama had to raise taxes on all of use to pay for what Bush spent. Let's totally ignore the 6 trillion in debt Obama wracked up. No....he wracked up that debt saving us from Bush. I can hardly wait. I posted a while ago that I have sold my boat and motorcycle to prepare for higher taxes. I've refinanced my home, cut back on cable, switched my home phone from ATT to OOma and bought a smaller cheaper truck to drive. I switched power companies and locked in a lower rate and scaled back disctretionary spending (going out to eat, movies, entertainment) and all told freed up over 600.00 a month. I'm planning on a 3500 a year increase in 2013. That equates to 291.00 a month. In 2014 I expect to lose another 4% of my pay to Obamacare taxes and other taxes....by 2015 many people will be suffering from an increase 150%-300% in electricty costs. People in Ohio will/must come up with 1000.00 a month. Around 500 a month in new taxes and 500 a month in electricity. Virgina, PA, and surrounding states will need 250 extra a month for electric rates. I'm not too sure how much it will effect me in Texas since I switched to a green company. I'm prepared for the coming Taxmeggedon but I know 90% of the people out there are not. I wish them all luck. The numbers will worsen. America has shipped most of its manufacturing offshore. It is a chump change service economy trying to be a big dog. The only way it can go is down. No wealth creation. We sell some food, coal and movies. Do the math folks.
