The easy, painless way to save $2T: PEACE

Each one of the following would save up to $1 trillion, or more, over
the next ten years. Guess what? The teabaggers are opposed to all of
them, including the $2T for not fighting any more wars for a while.

$1T: We could let the Bush tax cuts for the rich expire. (“No! No!”
shout the Koch brothers.)

$1T: We could let Medicare negotiate the price of drugs, the way that
the VA and private insurance companies already do.

$1T: We could require the rich to pay the same percentage of their
income toward Social Security and Medicare as the poor and the middle
class do. Not a higher percentage – my God, that would be progressive
taxation! Just the same percentage.

$1T: We could impose the same alternative minimum tax on giant
corporations that we mere humans must pay.

$1T: We could reduce U.S. military spending to a paltry 40% of the
world’s total, from the current 48%, which would still leave us
spending four times as much as any other nation.

$1T: We could make Warren Buffett pay the same tax rate on his income
as his secretary pays on hers, by eliminating the long-term capital
gains tax break, the great majority of which goes to the hyper-rich.
You going to get Islamic terrorists, China, Somolia pirates to cut
their
budget too.

Huh? Terrorists are an overblown threat. China is a business rival,
and Somalia pirates have nothing to do with our debt.
You have blinders on.

It deserves a better answer than that. She put a lot of thought into it.
Don't feel like feeding the troll. I assume she knows as much as anyone
else?

and we spend 50% of the world's budget on defense

proof this is making us secure? oh. none

every dollar we spend on defense above our own needs is a dollar of
foreign aid

He seems like a decent guy. He also doesn't seem to be intimidated by
that pig with kinky hair.

Excellent opening line for a letter to your president, D'Plume. Please
