Yet in reality, when a person is able to take home more money, but ends up spending 4x more than the increase that they took in, *poof* you get the economy, unemployment, and windfall that Obama has blessed us with

More money spent (OUR MONEY) in this administration, then every other one combined.  Yea, what a blessed deal

Sirs

This post is very confusing. Who is spending 4x's more than they are taking in?

Government is who's spending exponentially more, then what they take in.  The "person" is to point out that one is going to fail financially when they spend more then they take home, be it Joe Smith or the Federal Government

So if the government cuts spending to match revenues, what happens to the economy?

We balance the budget, we start to reign in our debt, we start to establish a level of steadiness that the business community and consumers will embrace, and then they start to do more of what they do, namely expand businesses, employ more persons, who then spend more money.  Uneployment goes down, and more tax generating revenues for government coffers

A win win for everyone.......except of course Liberals, Socialists, and hard core leftist democrats

So you are not worried about a 75% reduction in government spending which in one way or another would be felt from wall street to main street  affecting the economy?

Would you turn the spigot off all at once?

75%??  Is this more of the notion I must support abolishing taxes, if I advocate tax cuts.  Does the word "gradual" mean anything to you, or must I adopt this all or nothing approach of yours.  Hell, let's reduce spending by 100%        :o

Yeah, sure.

All that would be soooo simple, in the bizarro land of sirs.

I was simply using your example of spending 4 times what you bring in.

Lets say revenues are 25 billion and we are spending 100 billion, by my calculations we need to cut spending by 75% to bring it back in line with revenues.

100-75=25 

So if your solution is a gradual balancing, how gradual? What would be the determining factors in how long it would take to get the books aligned.

Yes, of course, because you disagree with one thing I said, you conclude that a completely different opinion on a different subject is also invalid.

That is not logical. Except in the bizarro Land of sirs.

Bizarro land is claiming Obamination care is a mere 1000page piece of legislative garbage, and not being able to back it up

Lets get rid of the federal government all together except for the armed services and then put a general in charge.
