Mittens betrays Teabaggers, admits spending cuts would throw us into recession

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Looks like Boehner agrees with Romney here.  The spending cuts need to be focused on the long term - which means entitlements.  Too bad so far entitlements are the one thing the Democrats in DC aren't willing to look at.

So he wants to increase spending and lower taxes? Typical Republican. This budget mess isn't that complicated.

Okay , how would you balance the budget in one year without negatively affecting the economy?

Ending the Bush tax cuts, both on income and capital gains, and the Bush wars would be a huge step.

So a major tax increase on all Americans is going to help economic recovery?

What benefits do civil servants provide the economy? They don't contribute anything, so firing them will save taxpayers money and increase the number of private sector jobs.

All those civil servants would need to find new jobs, increasing the labor supply and so making it harder for every unemployed person to find a job - at least in the short term.

People are still legitimately terrified of communists in this day and age?? The Cold War ended 20 years ago.

People are legitimately afraid of communists for the same reasons they're legitimately afraid of cancerous tumors -- there's that long and extensive connect with communism and unspeakable barbarity, human misery, and death to every living thing with which it comes in contact.

The same is true of pretty much every political ideology that attains the status of a metanarrative.

Ah, metanarratives: can't live with em; can't live without em.
