Well, if you cant see how jobs programs will add to the debt, you arent looking. Sure if you do create jobs that goes a long way to decreasing the deficit but that costs money. If it were as easy as you seem to think it is everybody would have the job they want and the debt would be headed to zero. Before you tell me to just cut taxes, we have done that and we still are in this mess. Wake up and smell the coffee.

That's a great article. I'm convinced if Joe-public had even a cursory understanding of the Fed there would be a shortage of torches and pitchforks in short time.
That will not happen with Democrats or Repubicans period. Corporate taxes would have to be slashed So much Dems bones would hurt. You would also have to literally abolish the EPA and the NLRB. Don't forget it would also include needing to repeal Obamacare and close the border with Mexico. The illegals would also need to disappear. Then it might happen.
The ideological forebears of the Progressives were the Populists who tried to stop bankers from screwing the little guy. The Populists, however, ended up nominating a banker as the Vice Presidential Candidate in 1896. Fast forward twenty years, and the descendants of the Populists, the Progressives create a system in which bankers control the banking system, sort of like the fox guarding the hen house. Way to go, Woodie! That was some "Progress."
Jobs programs............what a joke. We already had jobs programs with the porkulas bill and it didn't work. We haven't cut taxes since '03 so we haven't already done that. The person who needs to wake up and smell anything is you. You need to stop believing that the government is the end all be all and start believing in the people of this country. We need to get ourselves out of this mess not the government. They need to get out of the way.

I don't see how talking points are going to solve anything. Cutting military spending and wind down the wars and use that money to pay of the Treasury Bonds. That would solve a few problems.
I'm not sure who's talking points you think I'm using but whatever. I can agee with cutting military as long as we cut atleast as much entitlement programs. I also agree with winding down the wars, since we are now in a third one. I also think we need to reform the tax system as to where everyone has some real skin in the game.
Saying "The government needs to get out of the way and let the people create jobs" is a talking point. It's a broad statement that solves absolutely nothing.
Tell you what. I heard Neil Cavuto interviewing the CEO of Hardee's/Carl's Jr. hamburger chain today. It was right after the Fed announced that interest rates would remain the same through 2013 and then there was a rally. They were talking about how that made the market jump over 200 points in about an hour or so. Why? Because Bernanke understood one thing when he made that statement. He understood that the market and businesses need some stability to rely on.
Talk about spouting talking points...that's a load of them. Platitudes and no substance.
Let's cut the military altogether. That will save about 20% of the budget. Entitlements as they exist today are over 60%. I don't know what planet you reside but Medicare and SS are about to devour this country. This spending issue we have now ain't nothin. You can replace our military SEALS with rock throwing 12 year olds like other 3rd world countries but it won't save your precious social programs. Those my good sir are sitting on a big bomb and it is about out of digits.
Exactly, and notice how the side who always says we have to compromise really means the right should compromise. According to Shortround the only cuts we should have is military and we should raise taxes. Sounds like a great compromise for them.
