Yeah, we want to help lift people out of poverty, improve education, balance the budget, and pay down the national debt- monstrous! Monstrous I tell you!
It's possible to cut waste and still increase funding for infrastructure, early childhood education, and local programs with a track record of success. That's what Obama proposes.
We can also cut taxes on the majority of Americans, offsetting that cut by reverting the tax rates on the rich to where they were during Bill Clinton's administration.
As for privacy, it sure as hell isn't Democrats that are indefinitely sending people to military prison camps without trial. Or spying on domestic phone calls and intercepting internet traffic for deep packet inspection.
It was under Clinton, a Democrat, that we had a balanced budget and fiscal responsibility - when was the last time we had a Republican president where that was true?
So you want to raise taxes on some people, and raise spending. You say this is a good idea; maybe it is, maybe it isn't. My statement above, that dems don't want to do half the list, stands.
You don't have to be so partisan in response to bland factual statements.
