Paultards need to find out the hard way that government ain't as easy they think.
Right but Republicans who scream that cutting taxes is the end all to all of America's problems CLEARLY Have a great understanding of how the goverment works. Along with democrats who claim rasing taxing on the rich fixes all our problems.
But of course the group of people who just speak about being finacially stable and decreasing our military budget are the ones who have no idea how the goverment works. Clearly the people who understand that are current investments both overseas and domestically are the crazy ones.
But that's unfair; there's plenty of Democrats that want to reduce military spending, and the last surplus we had was under a present that raised taxes, cut spending, and (after the Balkan mess) reduced the amount of military adventures the US was involved in.
You've got to have a combination of all three, you can't just have reduced spending. Gutting social programs would wreak havoc on... pretty much everything.
The "last surplus" was funded by looting Social Security for extra cash and shuffling around the money to give the appearance of being in the black. Not jacking up spending certainly helped, but it was a rather cheap monetary trick that can only work once in a while.
