My dad told me that when the government has to cut spending and not raise taxes that they always take away programs that people will notice in their lives. Kind of a way to get the people back for not allowing those money hungry fucks to raise taxes.

Briefly looking at the JST estimates in regards to the first point made about low income housing it has risen by 1.5% over the past 4 years. However if they cut spending on that all together and keep tax breaks for the wealthy, there is no reason why the workers of your country should not rise up and riot, overthrow the government just like the middle east. You already have a head start, you have guns lol.

Pretty fucking lame considering how many people lost their homes during the GFC.

Pay me $10 now and I will give you back $5 over the course of 6 months.
Sound like a good investment? If not, then you are no different than those who made those decisions.

If you don't like US policy then leave.
Stop crying...

^ hey! nice job spouting off a Limbaugh talking point! Love it!

Too bad it completely ignores the overall effective tax rate



Thanks to insanely low capital gains and dividends rates, and of course the income cap on social security which right now sits around $105,000, the richest of the rich are getting the biggest breaks of ANYBODY in this country. Just ask Warren Buffet, who pays the lowest overall tax rate of anybody in his office, even lower than his receptionist!
