Do republicans on YA always avoid economic questions?

Question

The debt, falling dollar, outragous spending....what plans do the republicans have for this if its not to raise taxes?

Don't start blaming the libs for something they may do, lets focus on what the republicans have already done for once.

Answer 1

Actually, I've found that any government, political, or even completely non-related YA questions (yes, I've seen them answer in computers, cosmology, pet care, etc) have been answered by name-calling republicans. I would never group ALL republicans in this group because I know quite a few people who don't believe as me and we just choose not to talk politics - especially when it is not the subject matter at hand. When we do discuss politics we do so without the unreasonable name-calling and act with respect toward each other. However, the people who are so right wing that they cannot be reasoned with are the loudest of the bunch. I believe everything should be discussed with an open mind and let logic win the day. I personally believe the democrats (if they would actually do what they say they will do) have a better logical argument for how to tackle the problems plagued by our current government. Many republicans have come to agree and know something needs to change. But there are still those die hards who are so unreasonable they can't provide a rational argument for their beliefs. It's unfortunate, but it's a fact of life in our country right now. The problem with this minority is that they make so much noise that some legislators believe they should listen to them. Ugh.

Answer 2

I thought I was prompt to answer your previous question.
As for the debt... debt is not good. The war on terror, while necessary, is not being handled financially responsibly.
The falling dollar is a result of intentionally lowering interest rates...which causes money to be cheap. When money is cheap, it is borrowed for investment in business, creating jobs and a thriving economy
Outrageous spending.. that is not good... we sure could use a line-item-veto to clean out the pork.
Lower taxes stimulate investment... Every time a dollar changes hands the more taxes we take in. We have clearly demonstrated that tax cuts actually fill the govt coffers.

Answer 3

you're conversing approximately Newt Gingrich, asked approximately his spouse's shown fact that he asked her for an open marriage. If that grew to become right into a Democrat, it would the the biggest subject rely of verbal replace in the full debate. yet Gingrich rather chosen to get all on his ear and the stupid interviewer subsidized off and (ISTR) even apologized. His next question ought to have been "answer the f*****g question, scum!" Gingrich's total campaign is consistent with people not remembering what a frikken' criminal he's. And the media in this usa, the 'liberally biased media', look to think of this is undesirable manners to remind people. it incredibly is how GW Bush have been given to be president, because of the fact the media theory it grew to become into unfair to point out the guy walked around in an alcoholic haze till he grew to become into 40 and in no way made an user-friendly greenback in his entire existence. The leaders of the GOP do not ant Gingrich to get the nomination. they have already positioned their money on Romney, actually. If Gingrich wins in Florida, or does nicely normally, they'll shoot him down, like they did John McCain in 2000. wait and notice.

Answer 4

You mean they don't talk about the debt while claiming to be fiscally conservative? Yes.

WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - With the U.S. government fast approaching its current $8.965 trillion credit limit, the Senate on Thursday gave final congressional approval of an $850 billion increase in U.S. borrowing authority.

The Senate voted 53-42 to raise the debt ceiling to $9.815 trillion, the fifth increase in the U.S. credit limit since President George W. Bush took office in January 2001. The U.S. House of Representatives approved the higher debt limit earlier this year as part of the overall budget resolution and the legislation now goes to Bush for his signature.


"We have no choice but to approve it. If we fail to raise the debt ceiling soon, the U.S. Treasury will default for the first time in its history," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus.

"Plainly, especially in this credit crisis, we cannot let that happen," the Montana Democrat added.

The U.S. Treasury Department has been pressing Congress to pass the debt increase quickly. Last week Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said the government would hit its current $8.965 trillion debt limit on Oct. 1.

The national debt was 5.6 trillion in 2001 when George Bush took office.

Let's not forget he had a Republican Congress until very recently.

Answer 5

Clearly, we need to elect a new breed of Republicans....or perhaps an old breed. The Goldwater/Reagan style of Republicans would be satisfactory for me. That's why I'm supporting Ron Paul for the Presidency...we need a change, and Rudy McRomney are not offering anything.

Plus, Paul seems to actually understand economics and oppose spending. Go figure!

Answer 6

Easy,

If you want to jump start the economy, slash social programs (or better yet eliminate them) and cut taxes.

Social spending is over half of our countries spending and it should be ZERO save the money sent to the VA because the soldiers (all servicemen and women honestly) have EARNED the money.

Republicans in office currently have been fiscally retarded. But thats what you get when both houses are filled with liberals and RINO's.

Answer 7

Of course not! They understand economics while leftists only think they understand it but don't have a clue.

If you really want to understand the subject rather than promote a Socialist ideology, then try reading:

"Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell.

Answer 8

I've often seen pretty odd and cavalier responses regarding the economy.

But then again, look at things like the reaction to nationalized health care, which could save billions in terms of SSI and emergency care from taxpayers, but people look at initial and nominal cost. Heck, even if you apply Reaganomics to it (people have more money in their pocket to spend with lower health care premiums--thus expanding the economy) people don't seem to get it.

Answer 9

Perhaps if you would ask a solid question you would get better answers. Exactly what do you feel is in such bad shape? Whatever it is, compare it to historical norms. The "debt" is high, but not in terms of % of GDP, as has been said already. Not all of us are hysterical liberals like you.

Answer 10

i asked why liberals are complaining so much, the cocoa rations increased from 20 grams to 25 grams,

6 people answered, 5 got the 1984 orwell reference,

this one neocon goes, i swear to god he goes "the hot chocolate is good in october"

conservatives like to say our hands off policies are why the economy is doing good and when the economy is bad its "the government is not the reason this is so bad"

they dont get it

they want it both ways
