Spending needs to be cut. Including military. Cuts to nearly every agency, if not eliminating some altogether are needed.

I'd start with 15% off the military budget for openers, and then trim significant chunks (25%+) off all entitlement programs and completely do away with useless shit like the National Endowment for the Arts. Oh yeah, and huge cuts to the Department of Education (lolwut?) and the EPA (FTG). There are probably tons of meaningless agencies that could be shuttered completely.

Cut 100% to the UN and 75% of foreign aid. Cut 100% of foreign aid to where they chant "death to America".

The real money is in the entitlement programs but there is no political will to go after them

Absolutely correct. And mall cop would squeal like a stuck pig if you cut any of his entitlements.

Raising taxes is inevitable. We could start now and reduce the pain.

Or you could just reduce spending to 2008 levels and then there would be no need to raise taxes. What are his entitlements? A pension? Not quite the same thing.

We? You mean “we” should raise taxes on other people. Not you.

What makes you say stupid shit? I'm a one percenter. My taxes would be going up under any proposal I could make.

Mall cop isn't going to take his SS and Medicare? You can't have the proportion of population over 65 we have, low birth rates, anti-immigrant policy and customary entitlements without raising taxes.

Why do I need to subsidize others who don't need the help? We can all pitch in.

Nothing stopping you from writing a bigger check to the Government right now O'Keefed. You don't need a change in the tax law for you to do what you want to have done. Put your money were your mouth is and write the fucking check.

Because you believe in the greater good and care about helping people. The truth is you’re all talk and will only pay by force.

So why do you have to be forced to pay?

Because you’re a hypocrite. That’s why.

I thought lawyers were good at making arguments?
