    Default LOL, Obama proposes more spending.

    WASHINGTON — House Republicans said on Thursday that Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner presented the House speaker, John A. Boehner, a detailed proposal to avert the year-end fiscal crisis with $1.6 trillion in tax increases over 10 years, an immediate new round of stimulus spending, home mortgage refinancing and a permanent end to Congressional control over statutory borrowing limits.

    We have a spending problem.Republicans have put tax hikes on the table by reducing deductions people over certain incomes get to take. Obama has put nothing on the table in regards to spending cuts. Stand your ground GOP.

    He proposed $50 billion in new stimulus... but $1.6 trillion in tax revenue and $400 billion in entitlement cuts. And this is even before we talk about cuts to our unnecessarily bloated military. So... what's the problem?

    Republicans have put tax hikes on the table by reducing deductions people over certain incomes get to take. Obama has put nothing on the table in regards to spending cuts. Stand your ground GOP.
    Only 3 sentences and yet so much fail. Only a handful of Republicans have come out saying they are willing to disobey their master Norquist and 'put tax hikes on the table'. The weeper of the House is not one of them. And like I already pointed out, Obama proposed $400 billion in entitlement cuts. If the GOP 'stands their ground' in pushing Norquist's agenda of protecting a handful of percentage points for the wealthy and we are dragged into another recession, the GOP will be standing their ground on the unemployment line. Then they will wish those entitlements were still around

    Why not simply get rid of the stimulus and raise taxes by a lesser amount? There is nothing a government stimulus can do for the economy that the private sector can't do better.

    Oh wait that's right, we want to punish the people who actually pay taxes and reward those who don't

    Redistribution of wealth is retarded, has consistently failed throughout history, and yet here we are.

    Yes. Raise taxes. That's fine. That's not at all my objection. It's the unfairness of it, you raise them on some, but not the others.

    That's just ridiculously stupid. Do you use your credit card to buy stuff that you can't afford and then wonder why it could possibly be a problem?
