KEEP, is not cutting, so don't try to pull that

SPENDING is what he IS DOING......IN SPADES, AND IS WHAT IS "exacerbating the current economic misery Obama has put this country in"

When did Bush cut payroll taxes? Obama did. So he did Bush one better. And the GOP in the House controls the appropriations, what have they cut?

Best i can figure is the economy is gonna flounder until the winners of the next election are sworn in and the GOP better have a 2/3rd majority in both houses if they expect a Balanced Budget Amendment Resolution to get passed.

Which is why these threats by DeMint are meaningless.

Which is also why it has to start somewhere, and NOT with additional taxes

Would the recession have been worse without the stimulus spending?

Would a heroin addict's withdrawl symptoms be worse without a new shot of dope?
Sure...not doing the dope anymore is going to hurt like hell.
But the longer you do dope the worse the crash at the end.

You write that like you are 100% sure that neither you or your company benefited directly or indirectly from any stimulus funds that made their way through Texas.

I don't think you can make that claim.

Because you can't base a tax on a political affiliation

Who is the typical Democrat Voter? Remove political affiliation from the discussion. The typical Democrat voter is someone
that wants a free ride. I just want those folks that want me to pay their way to pay their own way. I'm sure there could be
some Republican free-loaders out there too and they should have to pay their way as well.

Uh? I didn't make that claim nor would I.

Some of my clients might be also be drug dealers using
fronts as legit business operations. I can't control that.
But because I may benefit from drug-dealing money
does not mean I should oppose stopping drug dealers.

BT we are on an unsustainable path!

Actually politicians are drug addicts and the drug is money, and the spend other peoples money, not their money!

And wasn't Sirs complaining about all the paperwork he has to fill out for his patients paid for by the govt?
