United States Debt Default

So, you think a deployed soldiers wife and children should not receive a paycheck? I guess most people don't realize that for some (most, maybe) being a soldier is a job, with the expectation of being paid to do it. These people risk their lives and put their lives on hold and have ZERO to do with the situation you clamor about or against. I am a veteran so I speak first hand about it being a job.

Well, it seems we aren't talking about the same thing then, eh? malvern made a comment that insinuated (and this has been tossed about) that military personnel would not receive paychecks. You then responded, in kind, saying to stop payments to the military. This response, being in response his comment, made it obvious that you agreed to stop paying members of the military. Perhaps you care to clarify? But that is EXACTLY what would happen if members of the military stopped receiving paychecks. True. But cutting the pay of a lowly, newly enlisted, father of 3 and newly married E2 is NOT the way to go about it. But if you think the pay cuts will come from the top down, you are sadly mistaken.... There IS, however, a LOT of wasteful spending.

The answer to all of those is no, in my opinion. We all know that none of those programs are where the problem lies, though. None of those programs are where there is the most waste. Those programs help people, not pad pockets.

Got some sauce for those whack ass numbers?Figured you didn't.... Just like you NEVER have any solid validation when it comes to anything politics related.

So now you want to raise taxes on working families who are already struggling, but NOT raise taxes on the super rich? What the FUCK is your problem?{abe} I'm glad you cherry picked that article. Hell, you didn't even cherry pick it: you misconstrued it. You DO realize that those ALLEGED 50% aren't considered "living off the government" AND they DO have an income, right?Edited by hooah212002, : No reason given.

Woulldn't that cause inflation?

Indeed. The right got damn near everything they wanted. And they gloat about it.
