We become a Third World Country by DEBT. Government produces nothing, Government consumes. Big Government means the end of the free enterprise system. It leeds to Third World Mentality. That is where we are headed.

Unfortunately, government also spends an ess load of money on things we don't want and don't need. I say cut taxes, give the people their money, give the government less money to waste. The economy will boom, like it did in the 80's

There are a few examples of cutting tax RATES but producing increased tax REVENUE.
And government expenditure is hardly limited to "things we need" - there's a lot of waste, a lot of pork, a lot of entitlements.

The govt also wastes more money then they spend on the things we really need. Pelosi spends over 1/4 of a million dollars almost every single weekend to fly home, all taxpayer money. Oboma just spent more than that to take photos of airforce 1, which could have been taken on the ground. And hang on to your hats, as pelosi and her motly crew are working on passing a new bill that will levy a tax on every household in america that uses electricity. aprox 260.00 per month per house. Didn't see that one coming did you ? Well its true. And it will only get better. Change , its what you wanted and voted for.

No, you are wrong. Currently, the federal government is overshadowing state obligations through red tape that essentially ensures you are indebted at a federal level ALONG with at state level. FEDERAL taxes are out of control. They have been for years. Now we are being strong-armed into more. STATE government should not be controlled by federal, which is what is happening. In the past, citizens of a state decide what taxes they will pay to have those services in place. Now, the government has strangled the states with red tape and state governments are now effectively being silenced through regulations that render them powerless. Hence, up to 35 states now filing the 10th. Not all people are confused about the difference between state and federal. Count it again....35!!! Many of those are so-called BLUE states too. So, for those that assume they are all red, nice try. This is about freedom, not partisanship. Everyone needs to jump off the partisan train and start supporting EACH OTHER as citizens and take a stand. Don't fight the federal government's fights for them. It's insane and helps them to take away your freedoms.

Blue, the wealthy pay MORE than their fair share, ever heard of a progressive tax? When they no longer exist, who will you villianize? You are so confused and hateful it's insane.

Quite simple - cut things we need. We don't need a huge military. Military spending can be cut in half easily. Besides, that's one of those socialist programs - and we all know how much America hates socialist programs.
We don't need the highway system - that was one of those "socialist" programs that the Republicans are so afraid of. We can save billions by abandoning it or even privatizing it.
We got along just fine before we had Social Security, unemployment, and disablity insurance. I'm sure we can do just fine without that socialist program.
And while we're at it, how much is the court system costing us? How bout the FBI? the SEC, and the FED? All those socialized programs can be eliminated or privatized.
There's so many socialist programs we could be cutting back on, privatizing, or just plain eliminating it ain't funny.

They also spend money (lots of money) on things that we don't need. Cut ALL of that and we could cut taxes, spending across the board and probably increase services.

Cut taxes on businesses and you create more businesses and jobs. Create more businesses and jobs and you create more taxpayers. More taxpayers means a bigger taxpool. Cut individual taxes and people spend more money, helping business grow.
Ronald Reagan had it right.
Smaller government, less taxes, cut spending equals better economy.

To cut taxes and government spending, we need to bring the companies that received tax breaks if they operated out of country, back to America. They hire more people, more people pay taxes, and since they are working, with a good income, they become less reliant upon the government for assistance. The government will not have to tax citizens more to support those who need assistance.

Look, when you cut taxes, what are people gonna do with that extra bit of money? SPEND IT! This means people will have MORE money to pay for those things. The economy GROWS as a result of people's transactions. The problem is that the government is WAY too big, and has too much power to spend too much money. Our country is the laughing stock of the world right now.

Amazing, how your rant hit all the hot topics. How about the not so hot topics.
Federal government spending on a museum.
Federal government spending on local road projects (not interstates)
Federal government spending on Local mass transit projects
Federal government spending on research projects that the private sector gets wealth from
Federal government spending and regulation on local school districts.
Federal spending - foreign diplomacy
Federal spending - President Obama's trip to Chicago for a valentine dinner (really served the public interest)
Federal spending on the gotcha (frivolous investigations by both parties into items that are used to shame and spin)
and there are a ton more...
So can we cut spending, yes. I would say by a fair amount.
And then the money that does get spent, should be looked after and audited, so that the government(s) spend it wisely.

Government cannot provide everything.
They are not the ones who need more money.
The general public needs more money. That way they spend it which is what helps the economy, not the government spending money.
Obviously the government needs to provide somethings, but government cannot spend its way out of the countries problems. Non government workers are the productive part of society.
"The Bush administration spent too much and created a huge deficit and created all these problems. The solution? Spend even more and make an even bigger deficit!"

The two biggest pork barrel projects we have right now are the military and interest to foreign debt. Get those two things under control and we can balance the budget without having to gut infrastructure.

Wasteful spending, like U.S. taxpayer money for abortions for nontaxpayers that don't live in this country? Thats just one example.

No it doesn't, not at all. The more jobs that are created, the more people pay taxes, the more you can cut taxes. We have no tax money because thousands of would be employed workers are now soldiers spending fortunes to fight bush's oil wars, and then coming back wounded and needing care for the rest of their lives. The rich hiring aliens to work on their homes and properties and not paying taxes for them; the rich keeping money off shore and avoiding taxes; selling everything from China etc avoiding taxes. We have these little tax leaks, like Walmart. about half the Army, most of the agriculture in the country. Plug those up, and the tax rates can go down.
