Facing a huge budget deficit when he took office in January, Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano did not impose a hiring freeze. He did not stop borrowing to subsidize some of the richest school districts in the country. He did not eliminate the Police Departments beloved mounted unit.
Instead, Mr. Mangano, a Republican who won one of the first upsets of the Tea Party era, did what he had promised: He cut taxes, adding $40 million to the countys deficit, which has since reached nearly $350 million.
Now, with its bonds suddenly downgraded and a state oversight agency preparing to seize its checkbook and credit cards, Nassau is on the verge of a full-fledged fiscal crisis.
It seems to me that you need to pay off debts and cut spending BEFORE you reduce your income.
That sounds like a rather good idea.... Wait a minute, does that mean we can't have our free shit and/or expect the same level of service provided by the gov? If so, fuck that shit.
Ladies and Gents, I present exhibit A as to why we be fucked. We simply aren't willing to take the pain that is necessary to get our collective house in order. Taxing the rich won't solve shit on its own. Cutting spending won't solve shit on its own. Reducing the .mil won't solve shit on its own. Entitlement reform won't solve shit on its own. Lowering taxes makes the problem worse. Unfortunately damn near everyone is against at least one of those things and almost, if not all, must be done and will be done eventually. The only question is if we choose to do them or are forced.
The math isn't that hard and ya can't beat the math.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------He did what he said he would do. I'm sure he didn't campaign on cutting services and paying off debts. The people got what they wanted. If only all politicians were so straight forward.

What a damn stooge you are Nebor, yes your tea bagger did what he said he would do, but did your Tbagger have the damn brains to realize what his policies would result in when ole Nassau County goes from the verge of bankruptcy to the disaster full bankruptcy itself?
Pardon me Nebor, I would rather have the brains beforehand to know when some damn fool promises me easy street in exchange for my vote. If I only drink his Koolaid. To your blind belief that following any fool over the cliff is OK as long as he was honest in his belief of reality suspending stupidity.
And then said fool finds out to his own and everyone else's dismay, he promised more than he could deliver because reality itself can't be fooled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Me, a tea bagger? I'm a big government authoritarian. My views don't really line up with the tea party.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't give me your crap, you just defended a Tbagger, and when called on it, rather than defending your initial position, you come up with another new version smokescreen.
Leading me to wonder what you stand for? If you don't have a consistent philosophy of wise public policy, you have nothing at all to offer yourself or anyone else on this forum.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind seems to be the Nebor temporary all things to everyone pseudo appeal fallback position on this thread.

No really. Nebor is worse then a teabagger. He is a fascist neocon nazi fuck and openly admits it.

Link?
Yeah I want to spend my time supplying you with links. I'm going to finish eating this orange take a shower and head to my gf house. It was in some recent thread dont remember the exacts.
I'm willing to give him some credit for being honest about what he is; and yes, this is pretty much the same thing Nebor said as the first response. Someone's views may be detestable, but honesty about their beliefs is refreshing.
Pics of gf?

Yes links. You have zero credibility and have shown yourself to be a knee-jerk alarmist retard. Why would I take your word for anything?
Rudolph Hess did it with feeling as well....
Do you have links to back that up?
