With that logic lets just raise taxes and pay-off debt.:bloated: Just keep raisng taxes and spending and everything will be just fine.:bloated: I don’t even want to get into it with you.

What are you talking about? First we need to get rid of the Bush tax cuts, then we need to gtfo of iraq so we can stop spending money there, then we need to cut the shit out of government bureaucracy to cut spending. After that we can use the annual budget surplus to PAY DOWN THE DEBT. You’re right we do have different views, you want the government to operate on debt and I don’t. Face it, your taxes are going way the fuck up because we’ve spent ourselves into a fucking hole for the last 8 years. Clinton: Budget Surplus, paying down debt Bush: Budget deficit, increase debt ---

News flash: I AM NOT GEORGE BUSH! Honestly, whenever I mention not spending you mention Bush. WTF? It has been a while so I will mention it again… I DON’T WANT THE GOVERNMENT SPENDING ANY OF MY MONEY UNLESS IT INVOLVES INFRASTRUCTURE OR DEFENSE.

Will I get any of this money back? I only made about $7000 last year from a company… I made quite a lot more in miscellaneous income so will have to pay in on that. But I live at home, and my household income is over $100,000…SO my parents won’t get any back…but will I? ---
