SENATOR SAXBY CHAMBLISS, (R georgia) talked about the american financial disaster, you know, the one in which the nation is countless trillions of dollars in debt, and getting deeper every year, and like every other politician, he never did really get to the point.
The point is that the united states of america is, and has been for, oh, what, a hundred years or so, a worldwide military empire, and by so doing has bankrupted the country, and can no longer afford to be.
It is absolutely hilarious, and amazing how our elected politicians omit mention of the american global military empire. Like it doesn't exist, or like its a given, taken for granted, absolutely necessary., no need to even mention it. Defense...Defense? More like Offense, with a capital O.
Senator Chambliss mentioned the three pronged necessary approach, cut federal spending, raise revenues by reforming the tax code to eliminate loopholes, and reform, by which he means cut, entitlements such as medicaid.
And trul;y all that must be done. We all have to suffer, for a time, at least until we get the economy going again by manufacturing our own wealth, instead of trying to manufacture it in other countries, and stop throwing our wealth at huge defense contracting corporations. Let's invest in companies which make consumable wealth, rather than excessive weapons.
His basic argument concerning tax increases for the wealthy is the standard conservative line that if you raise taxes on people earning more than a qauarter mil a year, you stifle small businesses. The solution would be to give a tax credit to people who actually own small business and employee people; most people earning over a quarter mil do not in fact own small businesses.
The politicians who run the country are afraid that if they tell the truth, they won't get reelected. And that may be true, but somebody has to do it.
