That's what it's come to? That's what you're advocating?? Well, our government sure doesn't have the money to do it. |

Actually the money to completely rebuild the monument is chump change in a 3.8 trillion dollar budget. I still would not be opposed to a corporation coughing up the money. I am still not sure I want them to get naming rights. It is a natural for Viagra tho The easiest way to get a corp to do it is by ending subsidies to the ones who ship jobs overseas. |

We can also selectively impose tariffs. General Electric, for example, used to make most of its household major appliances in the USA. Now they are made in cheap labor countries. Add a tariff to the price of each GE appliance imported equal to the difference between the cheap foreign labor costs and a family-supporting U.S. labor cost. In other words, remove the incentives for exporting jobs. -- I'd much rather be a champion of the powerless than a lickspittle of the powerful. |

The ironic thing is that even though labor is cheaper in places like China or Mexico, the high end products made there and sold here aren't any less expensive for consumers than they would be if they were made here. The only difference is that the manufacturer makes a lot more profit at the expense of Americans and American workers. -- I'd much rather be a champion of the powerless than a lickspittle of the powerful. |

That's what it's come to? That's what you're advocating?? Yes that is what it has come to. The feds spend over 40% of GDP right now, the highest in our history with the exception of the middle of WWII when we nationalized every industrial company in the US. It is simply unsustainable. Well, I don't mind spending my tax dollars on things like national monuments. Feel free to not send in your tax payments in protest. The fact is that this is absolutely the wrong time to worry about the deficit. Right now, the issue is JOBS. If it takes gov't intervention to get people jobs, that's a heck of a lot better than another recession. Taxes? They are currently collecting 43% of all of the total taxable income in the US (2,17 T of the $5t reported) and to balance the budget they would need to collect 76%. As I said, end subsidies, impose penalties on corps that ship jobs elsewhere, ask the rich to pay their fair share. That is the AGI of everyone from zero to Bill Gates. It is scary when you do the "tons of research" I get accused of doing. In real life it is just looking at the IRS database, available on the GPO web site and crunching the numbers a little. So, you don't do enough research? Well, get to it, because your research seems to be seriously flawed or you're making conclusions that aren't supported by facts. |
