PAYGO IS BACK

Over the weekend, Barack Obama decided that it would be a good idea to re-institute the pay-as-you-go legislation, otherwise known as PAYGO. Basically, this would require that any new federal spending be offset by cuts in the budget or ... tax hikes!

Wait a minute her! Obama just presided over the largest government spending increase in the history of our nation .. and now he's on the PAYGO kick? We all know he's not going to cut any government spending to pay for his new programs, so what does that leave? Raise taxes, that's what. The key here is that you don't raise taxes on the people what brung you to the dance. So ... if you're an achiever. If you are an evil business owner. If you're one of those people who provide about 80% of the jobs out there ... it's BOHICA time. Raising the tax rates on the productive is change you can believe in.

  • Every time
    'O' opens his mouth these days all I hear is 'CHA-CHING' or the sound of the American economy getting sucked into a black hole.
    Spend all your money now 'cause it won't be worth crap very soon.

    There are two possible solutions to pay as you go. The first is to increase taxes and keep the level of spending constant.
    The second, and I know that this is just crazy talk here, but let me throw it out, is to REDUCE EXPENSES!
    It's just so wild it might work! Wait. It has worked. Every time it has been tried, whether in private or public life. Hmmmm...Whatever you have spend less. If you punish a behavior, you will get less of it. If you reward a behavior, you get more of it. If we reduce expenses AND lower taxes...the economy booms, and we power out of the recession.
    Either way, we will soon have smaller government. Either by our choice, and under our control. Or when the entire economy collapses, and we can't borrow any more from China.
    Limited government. Let's do it now, when we have a choice.

  • This OBozo is Unreal
    After an absolute mindboggling and unsustainable spending spree, and after introducing a budget that amasses more debt than the previous 43 presidents combined, he now wants Pay as you go!!

    This man will say whatever is expedient at the moment and you idiots eat it up. What fools he holds you people for! What will it take for you mindless libs to wake up and realize that he holds you for absolute morons.

    Stan Gayble - do you have any response to anything other than "Bush did it. blah blah." Yeah, the funny thing is that you keep justifying every one of Obama's positions by saying "Bush did it...". However, you spendt the last 8 years foaming at the mouth with hatred over everything Bush did. So, which is it? Do you now like Bush's policies since that is your excuse for everything?

  • Same plan as Bush
    This is the same thing Bush did. More spending and higher taxes. That is, if this actually happens, this is all speculation now. Kind of like a moderate conspiracy.

  • Copyleft, Hugo's Ghost, and other twits
    Can't wait to hear them totally ignore the comment about tax hikes and make it out to look like Obama is doing a great thing. Waiting in anticipation...

  • Nothing Changes
    Congress passed pay-as-you-go during the Clinton Administration. It worked okay while the nation enjoyed squandering the "Peace Dividend" after the Cold War. But 9/11 changed all that. Much of the runaway spending under GWBush was dubbed "emergency" legislation and therefore not subject to spending offsets. All in the name of national security, mind you. The current situation is, the federal government could cut out ALL discretionary spending and still not be able to balance the budget in the current year. Debt service and entitlements are that large, and both will only get larger.
    What to do, where to cut.........democrats are eyeing the Pentagon budget with hunger in their eyes!!!
