re: #150 RogueOne

I think we’re confusing budgets. The ryan budget proposal is for 2012, the shutdown talk is over the 2011 budget which was supposed to be passed by sept of last year.

Secondly, I don’t think a projection of 3% growth is rosy or unrealistic. The average growth over the last 60 years is a hair over 3% and even in a lousy economic situation like last year we were real close to that number.

There is not a lot of difference in the overall philosophy. Cut govt workers: teachers, firemen, police. Defund EPA, NPR, PP.
Now we have the added “benefit” of privatizing medicare and gutting medicaid. Reducing taxes even more.
The overused phrase…”we dont have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem” still applies. Which is ridiculous on its face; we have both.
