BTW, I’m not familiar with the term “troughers”. I assume it refers to Wall Street. LOL.
#1- “troughers” refers to ANYONE scamming the poor and middle class, and yes, it applies to BOTH public employee scammers AND Wall Street scammers, but I, like most people today in the poor and middle class, see that there is little difference between public employees and Wall Street hustlers….

But Steverino…I thought carbon-cutting was our national goal? Or was that “support of human rights”? Universal health care? So many “national goals”, I get confused. But special interests sure don’t. Big Business and Big Labor and Big Environment know just where to position themselves in support of “national goals”.

“National goals” are insipid. The last one that had any merit was in the early 40s. And then only because our very survival was at stake.

Steve – I said axe the Dept. of Ed. I did not suggest axing DoD or the others you initially suggested.

There you go, not taking time to comprehend what is written and ascribing anarchic tendencies to anyone who pushes back against the unsustainable growth in Big Government again.

I said downsize, not axe, Jimbo. There you go, off the deep end again.

And gee, you don’t think job creation should be a “national goal”? What a surprise. You Reeps have been screaming about that one for years. Of course, I understand that it might be hard for you to reconcile job creation with giving big corporations billions in tax breaks to take American jobs overseas.

On the other hand, all our talk about downsizing is all moot. Like peeing in the ocean. The recent developments coming out about the “Affordable” Care Act assures eventual national bankruptcy.

You want “doom”, Teddy, my son? There it is. Prove me wrong.

I’d downsize several government agencies, starting with Defense (OMG!) Commerce, Treasury, and HHS.

Steve-o……I will stand with you on each and every one. How’s that for compromise? Can we also axe Education and knee-cap the Farm Bill? LOL

When you got to “national goals”, though, it sounds like you reverted back to your Bolshevikian origins, Five Year plans and all. “National goals” always wind up becoming “special interest goals”. They fail. How about if we get rid of ALL the tax breaks, abolish the IRS and work some sort of sales/VAT instead?

What else you want?

jimmydeeoc, as usual, asks a question and then refuses to let me answer it.

I’d downsize several government agencies, starting with Defense (OMG!) Commerce, Treasury, and HHS. I’d conduct a thorough audit of tax breaks to determine which ones are actually helping meet national goals, like job creation. That’s just a start for me, Jimmy. But I’d like to hear: What would YOU compromise?

Rexie, as usual, completely misses the point that these historical FACTS were about how CONSERVATIVES did great things for the country. But don’t let the facts get in the way when you have a chance to insult someone who doesn’t agree with you.

BTW, I’m not familiar with the term “troughers”. I assume it refers to Wall Street. LOL.

Steve’s right as usual— no doubt these ultra right dullards have not read the Adams biography by McCullogh. These extreme radicals priofess to like the Constitution but usually no nothing about it and the meeting of the minds that created it.
