Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

Lately it's been two things grinding my gears.

1- the local pro teams playing horribly.

And

2- all this balance the budget BS. How our politicians want to take money away from the American people through Social Security and Medicade and Medicare basically hurting the American public, but they think it's ok to give billions of dollars to Pakistan and other Middle East countries who don't like the USA and don't vote for American interests in the UN.

How our country throws money at other countries who have had a Natural Disaster but don't have a problem with taking from its own people.

How the Gov would rather make its own people suffer before cutting military spending, money to the CIA, and other Gov agencies. How they want to steal from the elderly before they themselves start taking major pay cuts.

I have no problem with balancing the budget as long as it is done by returning tax rates on the rich to where they were in the 1990's. Remember the '90's, when the economy was so robust that we had the largest surplus in American history? Then we don't have to cut benefits needed by poorer folks, as you indicate. Recent history tells us that to make our country healthy we should raise taxes on the rich.

#1- there were no stipulation I thought on this thread so I don't know why politics get a reprieve? I wasn't picking on any one party I blame all of them for waiting our dollars then not giving us the privilege to decide how we want to be screwed. Yet they throw money away to foreign countries like its candy.

#2- if you wanted to go old school you could have gone Atari or Odessey. But you might not have been around back then IDK.
