Unemployment benefits expiring? Please.
Wake me up when three things happen:
1. Social security/medicare/entitlement reform. Raise ages, means test, raise maximum payroll before taxes go to zero.
2. Cut DOD and other defense related spending by at least 15%. More is better, but no less.
3. Reform taxes along lines suggested by Bowles-Simpson budget commission proposal.
Everything else is bullshit. And I got to say so on the Takeaway this morn. (7 am is early for a radio show...ugh)
I like how they just throw around phrases like "statistically significant driver of the nation's economy" without citing anything.
ReplyDeleteI got out of the army last year and have been using my unemployment benefits to buy a nice little sports car. That chick should have more fun with other peoples money instead of buying groceries.
ReplyDeleteI could get on board with your first two prescriptions, but Bowles-Simpsons is a mess. Two of the Republicans who originally sponsored a bill to pass the commissions recommendations ultimately turned around voted it down.
