What happens when you start two wars and don't pay for them?

What happens when you cut taxes and don't pay for them?

What happens when you pass a new drug program and don't pay for it?

1. this moron thinks Iraq was responsible for 9-11 and had WMDs.
2. this moron, like most right wingers, can't read.
Why didn't you want to pay for those wars?

The right wing loves entitlement spending, they just don't
want to pay for it. No complaints from the moron wing
about Bush's entitlement spending.

They were paid for you fucking idiot.

That's not whaty they said liar.
It really must suck to be such a brain dead liberal sycophant that you
can't make any kind of argument without lying through your teeth.

What entitlement spending has Bush levied in the last four year
dumbfuck.
Apparently you're too stupid to even know who the president is.
People did complain about every liberal spending bill that Bush signed
in his efforts to be bipartisan.
Dumbassed morons like you were too busy bitching and whinning about
the "ridiculously high 5% unemployment rate" like a bunch of retarded
idiots to notice.

Get your head out of your ass you halfwit FOX ass-licker.


A brief history for the benefit of those who get their nooze from Faux.

Clinton handed over a surplus, which Gore vowed to continue
to use against inevitable emergencies. Bush said the money
belonged to the people and he was going to return it (mostly to
the very rich) in the form of huge tax cuts.

His reasoning was that if there were no surplus, then
government spending would have to be restrained.

Fine.

THEN, he proceeded to involve us in two wars and an expensive
handout to Big Pharma, all without raising taxes to pay for any of it.

His Republicans also banned bulk-rate discounts for Medicare,
meaning more in the pockets of Big Pharma.

They also banned discounts that drug companies freely give to
every country with single payer health care, and they get it for
ALL of their governmental purchases.

That is why drugs are so much cheaper in Canada than they are here.

And Obama was stuck with the procedures that Bush set in motion,
and by the time the tax cap was set to expire, we had
Republicans holding the House, and refusing to tax anybody and
blaming Obama for the results of the stalemate.

It sickens me to hear the results of the thorough of seemingly decent
people about the *REAL* causes of the deficit and the reluctance to do
anything to fix it besides cutting our social safety nets...

Go back to blowing your brother dumbfuck liberal retard.

You made a fucking assinine statement you can't back up so you go off
tangent on a rant about Clinton's surplus (even though the national
debt continued to climb during his entire presidency).
Name an individual who ever said they didn't want to pay for anything
you lying retard.
Not wanting to be gouged by ever rising taxes is not the same as not
wanting to pay for necessities.
But sine you have no real argument you have to lie about it.
Fucking stupid assed liberal dumbfuck.

When the tax cuts stimulate the economy to the point that the

themselves.

No. Upfront it cost $800 billion, $28 billion more than the stimulus,
but you'll still be paying for the war, and will be for another 40
years - up to $4 trillion.

Doesn't seem to have worked yet. How long have the Bush cuts been in
place now?

But tax cuts for the rich aren't entitlements? Yeah, okay, I get it.

An entitlement is something that you are actually entitled to, such as
insurance benefits from one of the government insurance programs
(Social Security, Medicare, Disability) or a government pension/
retirement plan.

That's just stupid semantics only right wingnuts play. Rich people
getting Bush tax cuts is an entitlement. They're given it and they're
entitled to take what they're given, just as the 98% are given it and
are entitled to take what's given to them. What, you think they'd
actually refuse it?

Entitlement:

1
a : the state or condition of being entitled : right
b : a right to benefits specified especially by law or contract

2
government program providing benefits to members of a specified group;
also : funds supporting or distributed by such a program

3
belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges

Example of ENTITLEMENT

my entitlement to a refund (or, my entitlement to a Bush tax cut)

How many people are employed by Rush Limbaugh's bank account? And how
many people will be laid off if his taxes go up? How many jobs will be
created in Nebraska and Maine if his taxes get cut or eliminated? Will
more Americans be able to afford new cars if Bush's tax cuts become
permanent? How about new homes? Will employers be more generous with
raises?

Of course not. You cannot grow the economy from the tippy-top down,
and you cannot create wealthy people while angrily assaulting anything
that even smells like middle class prosperity. Republicans refuse to
admit that widespread demand for goods and services, and the
widespread means to purchase those goods and services, is what drives
the economy. They continue to insist that it's the greedy whims of a
tiny fraction of the fabulously well heeled, who already have
everything they could possibly want anyway, that makes everything
work. It's not fifty million people wanting things like new houses,
cars and flat screen TV sets and having the financial means to buy
them that makes the economy work; No. It's cutting Dick Cheney's taxes
again which, by some mysterious, never explained osmosis, somehow
makes everybody richer, as though the next round of tax cuts will
result in the equivalent of Superdick standing at a high balcony
dressed like Santa Claus, tossing free money out to the teeming
masses. As silly as that sounds, in so many words that's exactly what
the GOP has been telling people for the last 40 years. And as the
results of the last presidential election prove, millions of them are
still buying it.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Iraq War cost $709
billion. When the Democrats also took over the White House, they
immediately passed an $814-billion "stimulus."

The sum of all the deficits from 2003 through 2010 is $4.73 trillion.
Subtract the entire Iraq War cost and you still have a sum of $4.02
trillion. The cost of the Iraqi war is comparatively minor in contrast
to Obama's $16 trillion debt.

Actually it did - government revenues went up (yes, up) after the tax
cuts, in fact government revenue hit a record high under Bush - just
before the Democrats took over Congress.

Yeah, and after Bush's deal ran out in 2011, it was time for Obama to
pack it in on Iraq. Afghanistan is like Vietnam, a harder quagmire to
get out of for whatever reasons there are that either make sense or
don't.

I already gave the updated links. The CBO data is outdated.

You're not factoring in all the external costs that will be ongoing
for the Iraq mess. I already gave you the link for that, I can't help
it if you insist on remaining stupid.

It did nothing to prevent the deficits from going up too. So
obviously, revenues didn't go up high or fast enough.

This is an example of when you should stick to Canadian politics
rather than expose your ignorance of our system.

There is a generic definition for the word, such as definition #3, and
there is the manner in which the GOVERNMENT uses the word. It is not
a word used by "only right wingnuts" as you said. You can go to .gov
websites and see how the GOVERNMENT uses the term entitlement.

I went to the recovery.gov site and see that they are now calling food
stamps an entitlement program. In the past, it was defined as "the
right to guaranteed benefits under a government program, as Social
Security or unemployment compensation." The actual truth is that even
Social Security is not guaranteed.

Its actually just a term righties made up to vilify the
programs you mentioned.

If the rich don't feel ENTITLED to their tax cuts, what
is it then?

Other than supply side econmonics (which has never
worked even once in 30 years) what other reason IS there
to cut their taxes?

This was the first war ever where taxes were cut
during war time. More fun and games from the GOT
party. (Grand ol Treason).

No, the war has not been paid for, it's been borrowed
and if you managed to find some single digit IQ
speed freak to whelp your litter for you, they'll
end up having to pay for it. (they won't, of course,
since they'll be dumbass right wingers too).

And Republics are holding the house *only* because Republicans in
state governments have managed to gerrymander Democrat-proof districts
in most states, including mine. If they hadn't done that, the
Democrats would have taken the House of Representatives as well as
having kept the Senate and the White House.

Republicans typically figure that if they can't win fair-and-square,
they'll engineer a win by cheating.

If it is "just a term righties made up" then why is there a legal

If it is "just a term righties made up" then why is there a sub-clause

Wy stated, "That's just stupid semantics only right wingnuts play",
but YOU are the one using "stupid semantics".[4] An Entitlement
program is "A federal program that guarantees a certain level of
benefits to persons or other entities who meet requirements set by
law, such as Social Security, farm price supports or unemployment
benefits. It thus leaves no discretion with Congress on how much money
to appropriate, and some entitlements carry permanent
appropriations."[5]

NOW, if you want to talk about semantics, as I said before, food
stamps were not considered an entitlement in the past. Mandatory
Spending consists of "earned-benefit programs and Entitlements". SNAP
(Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) is an "earned-benefit"
program, but is called an "entitlement program".

If the roads, bridges, inspectors, teachers,firemen, etc are provided
by the government, then the money that is paid for them, by definition
is a tax. If you pay a toll, for crossing a government bridge, it is
called a user fee, BUT it is also called a tax.

For example, your FICA deduction is an Insurance Premium, BUT since it
is an insurance premium that you pay for a government owned, run, and
controlled insurance company, it is also called a tax.

Your question has merit if your question implies the possibility of
paying a private sector teacher to educate your kids or you pay to use
a privately owned bridge, or you buy a private sector "Old Age,

And a tax cut is not a benefit? You're benefiting from a government
decision that's in your favor to which you're entitled to accept, and
normally you do accept. Boy, you're stupid.

Anything that is given to you by the government in your favor is first
and foremost an entitlement that people more than willingly accept
because they know they're entitled to accepting it. To call it
anything else is to merely specify what kind of entitlement it is,
i.e. tax cut, food stamps, etc., but essentially it's ALL
entitlement. Yeah, I know, it must suck to feel that you've been
accepting entitlements yourself - how socialist of you.

Sounds to me like semantics that add up to the same thing. Kind of
like tax cuts for the rich being an entitlement. Gee, I wonder how
that happens to work for one and not for the other in your universe.

You are an idiot. There is a huge difference between paying a user fee
for a product or service and allowing a person to keep his own money.

It used to be fun watching you twist, squirm and redefine words to fit

I am astounded at your insistence and persistence at expressing your
ignorance and stupidity[1].
Look up the definition of "entitlement" as is used by the government
at a government sight.[2]

Yes, I have received payment from the government, but it was NOT and
entitlement, as defined by the government, because it was approved
through the allocation process.

The definition that is paramount is the one found in the dictionary
which I've already provided. It's from there that all words are then
mangled, contorted and redefined by anyone to mean what they want them
to mean, but all those semantics still don't negate the actual root
definition of the word as found in the dictionary. It's so hilarious
to see someone like you, who has used the dictionary as a basis
numerous times before, to support your lame arguments with all sorts
of dictionary cites, but it's simply a practice that can't apply to
anyone else to use in your control freak universe, right? It's
something you entirely dismiss when it's thrown at you like mud in the
face.

Semantics - NOT ... "as defined by the government". Anything to
absolve yourself of guilt in having received benefits from the
government for which you were entitled to take. Nice. Only
Repugnants struggle this hard to disassociate themselves from being
viewed as a government leech. How's that for semantics? Leech =
willing recipient.

That can't be proved.
Kindly prove that in any culture, at any time in history, volunteer
contributions from an area the size of the USA - or any other country
have provided the funds for building such an infrastructure.
Remember that about 60% of the funding from your fire department comes
from state and federal funds. Local TAXES supply the rest.

Extra credit if you can show this cooperation came from an area where
anarchy was in place. (Silly me, I almost said, "law of the land.")

The war in Iraq was already winding down before Obama came into office,

Much of those "external costs" we would pay anyway, whether there was a

No, from 2001 onward, the deficit DECREASED every year - until the Dems

It was still at the minimum 150,000 troop level when Bush left, where
it had been for over a year and a half prior. It only began dropping
below that shortly after Obama took over.

Yeah, that's why they said in 2000 the debt would be entirely paid off
by 2010. And, of course, why it has to keep adjusting its
projections. After all, they're only projectionists. You either

I have noticed that Wy typically doesn't flee no matter how wrong he

he was so ignorant that he didn't realize he was wrong[1]

I later realized his tactic is the same as a prize fighter. He keeps
taking the punches; he will dodge, dance and divert. Eventually, you
will bite on one of his off topic diversions and, like the prize
fighter, he will throw in one single last punch and claim victory.

You have been wrong so many times it should be an embarasment to you.
You were wrong when you claimed:

"Money has no value until spent";

"Fiat money is not something commonly used, largely restricted to
governmental transactions,
and is therefore not relevant to the common use of money";

"A non-profit health insurance company ... qualifies, and you better
bet your nippy bippy
they take full advantage of [government grants to charities].";

"...how is birth control even related to religion in any way
whatsoever?";

"How would she have that liberty to take birth control if it's denied
her by those who believe they have a greater liberty to deny [paying
for] her birth control?";

You believe that the word "impoverished" applies to a person who has a
net worth of several million dollars.

The word entitlements is "just stupid semantics only right wingnuts
play."


In spite of being so wrong, you insist that no one has been able to
prove you wrong simply because you lack the depth of knowledge
necessary to recognize that you are wrong[1] .
Even when presented by several college text books regarding the value
of money, you stated that the college text books were wrong and you
remained steadfast that your contrary belief was the correct belief;
you suffer from illusory superiority.

Actual, as I read through the NG, I saw that wy had said, in effect,
that "Nobody had proved me wrong." Now, there is a user names "NoBody"

I know this won't get through that titanium-built right wingnut
literal black-and-white yes or no skull of yours, but give it a shot,
will ya?

"The U.S. Government says that military spending amounts to 20% of the
budget, the Center for Defense Information (CDI) reports 51%, the
Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) reports 43%, and the
War Resisters League claims 54%. Why the variation?

Different groups have different purposes in how they present the
budget figures. WRL’s goal has been to show the percentage of money
that goes to the military (current and past) so that people paying —
or not paying — their federal taxes would know what portion of their
payments are military-oriented. Also, some of the numbers are for
different fiscal years.

There are at least five different factors to consider when analyzing
the U.S. budget:

discretionary spending vs. total spending
budget authority vs. outlays
function vs. agency/department
federal funds vs. unified budget
time period"

And now for the explanations, if you dare:

Every dollar printed since Nixon took us off of "representative money"
is "fiat money" AND the store is happy to take my fiat money when I
show them the statement (printed on the dollar) from the government
that the paper is "legal tender".

But you just proved that for even that to have any value, you'd have
to give it to a store and not keep it in your fridge as cold useless
cash. Even the value of a dollar fluctuates year by year, day by day,
minute by minute. One dollar in 1975 could get you a bag of chips, a
large Coke, a couple of comic books, a TV Guide, bus fare home and
you'd still be left with at least a few pennies to maybe put in your
piggy bank. A dollar today would get you none of those things. Ergo,
money has no value unless you used it. If you used it in 1975, you
saw the value you got out of it in return; if you kept that same
dollar till today and tried to use it for the same purchases, you'd
get nothing. Bingo! I win.

I've always discussed it in terms of value - "money has no value until
it's spent". Its value is determined not by fiat, but by the amount,
and even the quality, of goods you purchase at the time of purchase.

If it is not fiat money, as you claimed, what is it? It is obviously

Sorry if I've been living a life in the past hour and not totally
glued to my computer screen as you appear to be, but it doesn't matter
if your money is fiat money or not - its value is still contingent on
what money traders say it is once you actually spend it. A perfect
immediate example of that is simply by exchanging your money for Euros
or any other currency. They'll charge the rate of the value of both
your stupid fiat money and your stupid fiat Euro or any other currency
and voila, that's what your dollar will be worth at that moment. Show
up an hour later and it'll have a different value. But before you can
possibly know what the precise value would be at any given moment, you
have to "spend it" first. Until you do, that money in your pocket
unspent has no value. Period. Everything else you want to get into
about it is just stupid semantics and a right wingnut shell game.

SO, are you finally stating that you were wrong when you stated that
"Fiat money is not something commonly used... therefore not relevant
to the common use of money" ?

Are you finally admitting that you have been proven wrong?

No such thing. But I see how desperate you are to make me want to
admit it because you're incapable of disproving that money has no
value until spent. Sorry, I'm not here to give you that right wingnut
orgasm.

Excuse me, but go back through this thread; you are the one who
diverted to the value of money after failing to admit that you were
wrong about the US Dollar in my pocket being fiat money.

Your ego is so fragile that you would rather retain your bogus beliefs
than admit that you are wrong.

I've always said money has no value till spent. I don't give a fuck
about fiat, either the money or the car. That's your problem.

Am I creating too much pain to your fragile ego?

> about fiat,


My thread was about you being wrong and failing to admit it. I
brought up your bogus quote about fiat money[1] and you stated,

"Exactly, not relevant. We're only dealing with what's relevant -
like
money that everyday people use, including rich fat cats. Keep your
invisible non-existent money to yourself. "

Admit it, Wy; I proved you wrong







Citations:
1. "Fiat money is not something commonly used, largely restricted to
governmental transactions,
and is therefore not relevant to the common use of money"; - Wy

Right, the control freak in YOU brought it up. I didn't bring it up
in this thread. Try to stay focused.

Living proof that libs *never* admit when they have been proven wrong.
You were talking about troop levels in Afghanistan and provided a
troop level chart for *Iraq* as proof of levels in Afghanistan.
