Tea Partier Brings Nassau County to Brink of Bankruptcy

[Mani]

So free candy and lollipops is not a viable platform?

Isn't this exactly what Obama and the Dems are doing?

Increasing spending and let's don't forget about the "Democrat tax cut", basically bankrupting this country

Any Tea-Partiers want to defend this?

It seems to me that you need to pay off debts and cut spending BEFORE you reduce your income.

Seems to me , We have to default and start over. Not that it matters the party is over no matter of what anyone does.

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.

You need more tax payers less liabilities. That starts by not putting food on Chinese tables and paying people here to sit at home who where passed over to make more profit. Profit is not really profit when communities are denigrating, govt is running massive debt to keep up appearances, and risks destroying our nation and has already destroyed many people.

Thing is, the obvious, the thing every businessman understands on a road to solvency, increasing assets and decreasing liabilities is never talked about by our elite. Maybe they are planning to cash out with all the profits made, move to a chalet in Switzerland or Costa Rica when it all blows up and America's industrial might is totally hallowed out.
