When Your Income Fais To Exceed Your Outgo You Have To Change The Outcome Of Your Ingo [View All]

[Stinky The Clown]

We as a nation need money.

We recognize the problem. We have defined the problem. It is really very simple.

Our Outgo Exceeds Our Income.

There things that can be done to remedy this. Simple things that a re clear to everyone.

Increase Income is one thing we can do.

Decrease Outgo is another thing we can do.

What else? Well . . . there's not a lot, actually. In fact, there's nothing else to do.

The real problem is how we go about this.

repubicans want to peck at the edges and nickle-and-dime "regular" Americans into full-on poverty.

Democrats want to do whatever the repubicans tell them to do.

Collectively, these two ostensibly opposing groups have come up with a Bill of a Thousand Cuts (a frightening pre-view of the 2012 budget, which will be called Death by a Thousand Cuts). They hunted for everything that had any chance of helping defenseless little people and suggested cutting it. A few lone squealers squealed and they stopped. "Enough for Today. Our Work is Done For Now." they intoned in unison, satisfied visages looking all so statesmanlike and wise.

Meanwhile, the motherlodes of Increased Income and Decreased Outgo remain, inexplicably, hidden in plain sight.

Taxes. On the wealthy. On corporations.

Prosthetic penises in the form of the Department of Endless Wars.

Raise one and cut the other.

Problem solved.
