Do you even have a clue how much of our debt is in short term notes
that roll over in months not years so the interest rate can change in
a flash. You keep talking about "long term" and "years down the road"
but we could get clobbered in a matter of months.

There's no evidence to support that fear.

One of these days you will hear a democrat say it and then it will
have been obvious all along to you.
The fact remains that there are a lot of these short term notes being
rolled over into long term paper. In a way that is good because you do
not have to keep going to the well for the money but the bad news is
the interest rate is about 10 times as high, being over 3% instead of
the 0.3% they pay on short term paper.
Right now our average interest rate on the debt is around 1.5%
($206.7 Billion a year)

Right now, we're trying to recover from a devastating financial
calamity. Right now is not the time to try and fix a long-term
problem.

We are not actually recovering anything if we are creating an
unsustainable debt.

Every time you buy a house and get a mortgage, you create an
unsustainable debt, since you have no absolute guaranty that you'll
have a job long enough to pay off the mortgage.

It is not an unsustainable debt if you are generating enough revenue
to pay down the principle. We are not even stopping the growth of the
principle.

The key word of course is "if." Our debt may be "unsustainable" if you
assume the very worst case scenario. In all other scenarios, the
problem can be (and actually is being) address, even though you want
to believe otherwise.

I only assume the projected scenario in the best case examples given
by the people who have plans they can't even get passed. (like Simpson
Bowles or Ryan)

There is only one budget proposal out there that has the debt coming
down by 2021 but it gores so many oxen I doubt you could even get most
of the democrats to support it and you wouldn't get any republicans.

http://grijalva.house.gov/uploads/Th...2%20Budget.pdf


How about we start with subsidies and the military budget.

The Ryan proposal calls for $165B cuts in Medicare ... basically
eliminating it.

That is less than half of what they spend but I see your point.
I doubt anyone is really taking his idea seriously but I applaud the
bravery to even open the dialog. We do need to find a way to get a
handle on costs.


Less than half of what Medicare spends? So what. It's the meat of it,
as you know.

Ryan is NO HERO. He's a pandering jerk who wants to deny people basic
healthcare cover for the sake of big business and his own political
aspirations. He did "open the dialog" at all.


He is only brave for even bringing up the idea that we have to look at
the sustainability of these programs the way they are.


He is not brave even for that. He took zero risk.

The big oil subsidies, tax cuts for millionaires (Bush's cuts), tax
breaks for corps that create jobs overseas (lost revenue) is about
$170B.

OK


Let's end those subsidies.

Then there's the military budget. How about not $1 more, as proposed
in the NYT op-ed piece..

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/20/opinion/20wed1.html

That is the hardest nut to crack, maybe even harder than entitlements,
simply because virtually every state gets pork from DoD.
I agree we build far too many unneeded weapons platforms.
Unfortunately, they all represent high tech jobs for someone.


As said, all that has to happen is not spend more. Spending the same
is a good start.


We need to cut DoD. Where is that peace benefit we heard about?


Talked to death by GHWB and Thatcher. Talk to them.



There are a reported 150 suspected (mostly low level) terrorists in
Afghanistan and we have 150,000 people looking for them.
That is projected to be $1.8 trillion in 10 years.
Instead we are spending another couple hundred billion on other
adventures in the middle east and we are not even sure who the people
we are putting in power will turn out to be.


A couple of hundred billion or things other than the Iraq/Afg wars?
Huh? Where are you getting that number?


We are spent over $600m in a week in Libya and that is only one week
in one little war. Who knows how all of this will shake out and what
other wars we will end up in that area? Syria?, Yemen?, maybe even
an undesired outcome in Egypt?
The genie is out of the bottle over there, we have our fingerprints
all over it and if it all implodes we bought it.


It was more than 1/2 that as best I can see. We're not flying
missions. Feel free to remain paranoid about all the other countries
that GWB would invade if he were still president.

Ryan isn't brave, he's stupid and isolated in his little ideological
cocoon He wants to kill Medicare. His next step would be SS.
He had no idea how his "plan" would **** the GOP.
Don't mistake stupid sincerity for bravery.


if he were brave he'd propose doubling capital gains taxes and
subjecting them to social security taxes



The only problem with that is it would crush the stock market and
devalue everyone's 401


which, of course, is bull****

where's your evidence

and no, it wouldnt crush 401K's because they are taxed as regular
income, NOT as capital gains

you dont know **** about **** do you??

The top 5 hits on google (news stories) peg it at $600-608B

What are you looking at?


You're claiming that it's currently costing us $600M? I'm assuming the
last was a typo. You know it's not costing us that much, although it
may have for one week.

If people start using other ways to invest the stock market will

proof?

well. none. capital gains taxes are as low as they've ever been in US
history

how's the US economy doing? we at full employment? how's the deficit?
is it low?

no. it's not. and there's NO proof that supply side horse**** leads
anywhere except the horse stables. it's a pile of **** invented by
those who want to continue to rape the middle class and then rely on
the right wing to invent a fairy tale

the fact is, capital gains should be taxed as regular income. there's
no reason the rich should get a free ride. i'm not a socialist and
dont believe in socialism for the rich like the right wing does

If you look, the big boom in the stock market started with the Clinton
cut on capital gains. 1996, effective in 1997.


gee. and capital gains were cut under bush

which led to the greatest depression in US history since 29

so there's NO proof that right wing supply side bull**** works. none.

They use the tax code to modify behavior. When you raise the tax on
something, people do less of it. They drop the tax when they want you
to do more of it.


gee. so we have socialism for the rich and the middle class pays for
it

you want a good economy? high demand?

cut taxes on the middle class. but the right wing OPPOSES that.



I didn't say anything about the tax rate on the 401k.
Read before you insult.


you need to write more clearly. cant help it that the right wing cant
right. after all if you believe the laffer curve you'll believe

Low cap gains tax had little or nothing to do with the recession. It

I made $100k and paid about $11,000 in income tax

Reply:
Bob. I am not rich, but invest for capitol gains as opposed to day trading,
etc. that would be the mode if you taxed capitol gains as ordinary income.
Why would I invest in a startup? If I had to gamble money, I want a better
return. If I have to set on the money for 5 years, why can I not take a
loss at ordinary income during those years where I was upside down? If you
had invested conservatively and across the board while the economy was good
you would not be crying the blues.

That was what it cost with the AC130s and A10s. God only knows what
the predators and global hawks cost.

A lot of that cost is hidden in black CIA budgets but even the open
parts are in the US bases where they are controlled.


Uh huh... why not count the toll calls from the White House to the
Admiral on scene in the Med?

absolutely true. the right got EVERYTHING they wanted and THIS economy
is the result


It's not like their intentions were a secret either. I mean they've
been advocating this stuff since the 1950s.


what i love is that, every time they DESTROY the economy they just say

you are really stupid. Yup, Wall Street screwed us. They are still
screwing us Obama is in bed with all the Wall Street powers. They are his
advisors. Couple years after Bush, we still have to big to fail financial
houses. Actually they have grown bigger under President Obama's leadership.
We are spending 160% if out tax receipts. Actually it is higher than that
as Medicare and SS receipts hide even more debt. How long do you think a
company or a family can overspend without either bankruptcy or ending up
leaving on the street? What has Obama done to help the US economy? Really?
Unemployment is still very high, higher than the rate shows as they no do
not count those who have been out of work for a couple years. The dollar is
falling against all currency except maybe the Icelandic version (ISK).

has little control

another fact the right ignores. the very fact you cant tell us what

we're in afghanistan because of an event known as 9/11. was there with

and we're not in libya...a fact you ignore. we have drones there. and

Well, I think when you claim that "we" are ****ed, I think you mean
"you" are ****ed.

FYI, Obama is perhaps slightly left on the spectrum of politics. He's
very centrist on most issues, and even ****es off those on the left
fairly regularly with his pandering to the right.

But, of course, people like you don't care about the actual facts, so
believe what you want. Whatever Bush did to this great country will
take years and years to fix. You just can't handle the truth,
apparently.

Yes, that's true. Also by the terrible economy, which is what Bush
left us. Also, by the tax cuts that remain in effect on the richest
among us. Also, by the huge subsidies and tax breaks that go to corps
like big oil and those who export jobs overseas. A big chuck of the
"overspending" can be solved by not spending one dollar more on any
additional defense spending... keep the current programs, but nothing
else, eliminating tax breaks and subsidies for big oil and similar
(e.g., big agri), and passing PayGo, which the Republicans have
blocked, because, apparently, their number one goal is to "have Obama
as a one-term president" (McConnell).

Your racist cliché and Bush blame cliché is nothing but a cliché. We as a
country are spending $1.60 for every tax dollar collected. How much did
Bush cut the tax collection? Double the amount of Personal Income Tax
collected and we could still not balance the budget. Explain why it is all
Bush's fault. No ****ing cliché. A reasoned response. If another cliché,
forget about ever being considered as have a brain and not just a waste of
oxygen.

it's bush's fault because

1. he cut taxes especially on the rich

2. he increased spending by an unfunded drug program added to medicare

3. he increased spending by spending a trillion in iraq

4. he deregulated the markets so that wall street blew up the economy

and yet the right still blames

The Bush tax cuts are about a quarter of the deficit (all of the
cuts, not just the $250k people).
The whole nut is $370B a year. The deficit is $1.5T
Repealing ALL of them is a start but not a panacea.
You still need to find $1.13T, either in more revenue or cutting
spending. So far the fed's answer is to print money and monetize the
debt through "quantitative easing" (a polite term for inflating your
way out of the problem). Let's see how the bond market deals with
that.


And, we don't have to solve the "whole" nut in one action. Keep at it.
You seem to think in the very short term when it suits you.

You are not even willing to start fixing this. If we don't attack the
deficit in some meaningful way we will never get a handle on the debt.
If you repealed the whole Bush tax cut it is barely a decent start on
the deficit,


Now you're going to just lie? I clearly outlined a way to start.
Repeal tax breaks for those over $250K, ding corps that ship jobs
overseas, make them pay their fair share in taxes, end subsidies, and
spend not one additional cent on the military.

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.


Good suggestion. Please put down the shovel.

Let me say this again slowly. a half of a percent hike in the interest
we pay on the debt would eat all of repealing that Bush tax cut on the
250K+ people.


What does that have to do with anything... so what. Interest rates
change. How much would a 1/2% decrease in interest on the debt change
our financials? So what.

gee. and that's exactly what i said. they are the LARGEST component.


Then you are wrong Bob. The tax cut on the $250k+ people is $700
billion over 10 years. The people less than $250k would pick up an
additional $3 trillion over 10 years. The whole nut was $3.7T over 10
years.

The whole nut is $370B a year. The deficit is $1.5T

instigate spending, Bush seems to have been able to, but Obama could veto

aw, damn, it shows the bush tax cuts are driving the deficit

that's a shame, right wnger, isn't it?

you say 'overspending' 'cuz you heard that on rush. it doesnt mean
anything but he said it so it MUST be true, right?



For someone who claims someone else is stupid, you're the one who
thinks Obama is the one who cuts spending. Last I checked its
Congress' job.

You are not part of the problem... you are the problem.



yeah the right wing is pretty stupid

uh...what happens to a bill the pres doesnt like, genius? any idea??


VETO the ****er!!! Then Congress has to show how bad they are to override
the veto. Bush signed almost all the spending bills he received and those
he should have vetoed he signed with some statement of memorandum. He was
almost as F'ed up as Obama. I am giving the most F'ed award to Obama, as he
came in saying he was going to fix the problems. Got us in to another
couple wars, did not get us out of wars he said he would, and has been a
cheerleader for overspending.

it's bush's fault because

1. he cut taxes especially on the rich

2. he increased spending by an unfunded drug program added to medicare

3. he increased spending by spending a trillion in iraq

4. he deregulated the markets so that wall street blew up the economy

and yet the right still blames

the black guy


The Bush tax cuts are about a quarter of the deficit (all of the
cuts, not just the $250k people).


gee. and that's exactly what i said. they are the LARGEST component.


Then you are wrong Bob. The tax cut on the $250k+ people is $700
billion over 10 years. The people less than $250k would pick up an
additional $3 trillion over 10 years. The whole nut was $3.7T over 10
years.


WHOA sports fans. the tax cuts included the middle class. the TOTAL
tax cuts amount to over 3.7 TRILLION and THAT is the largest component
of the deficit

AND 700 billion is nothing to sneeze at. the RICH CAUSED this problem
and got a bailout. it's time they paid for the damage they've caused.
why are THEY getting a free ride? why is the right so SOCIALIST??

i am NOT a socialist. the right is. i am NOT in favor of govt bailouts
for the rich. the right its. i am NOT in favor of TAX subsidiies for
the rich. the right is.

the RIGHT is SOCIALIST.

we need and END TO SOCIALISM. we need for the rich to start paying for
the damage they caused
