Date: July 17th, 2012 12:24 PM Author: Mauve Vibrant Indian Lodge Retirement age/medicare age both increased by 10 years in graduated steps over 10 years.
Begin mean testing of ss/medicare and eliminate 30% of recipients starting with new applicants/1 year delay, etc.
Increase all marginal rates 1-2%, eliminate EIC, eliminate MID for AGI above 300k (not sure how big of an impact that last one would have); increase qualified dividend rate to max out at 20% (lower of person's top marginal rate and 20%).
Lower Estate/Gift/GSTT tax credits to 3m/person.
Reduce food stamps funding by 10% this year, 20% next year.
Reduce medicaid spending by 10% this year, 20% next year.
How close am I?

None of us were of age to vote while this was going on. The boomers paid into the programs, then elected the assholes who depleted the funds. I say fuck them. They should have seen this coming and they should have saved accordingly. We shouldn't be paying this shit off for the next 100 years. |

Date: July 17th, 2012 12:37 PM Author: Claret Gay Wizard Hairy Legs Yes. You asked us what we would do. You didn't ask us what was actually feasible.
If you're asking what's actually feasible, the answer is quite simple: We're fucked. We will never balance the budget during our lifetime. Our kids might, but our generation is lined up to be more reliant on the gov't for everything (employment, retirement, etc.) than the boomers were.
We're fucked. Accept it. |

Date: July 17th, 2012 12:40 PM Author: Orchid cumskin It's troubling that one of the major national parties is incapable of putting forth a credible budget or being honest about their intentions (you can say the same for the Dems if you like, but that only strengthens my point) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1996472&forum_id=2...id.#21107624) |

Date: July 17th, 2012 12:47 PM Author: Claret Gay Wizard Hairy Legs 1) You had no point. You asked why the Republicans don't do A, and I told you that neither Republicans nor Democrats can do A. Neither your question, nor my statement, reflects the mores of the party. Your question, and my answer, simply reflect the current state of affairs--that both parties are impotent to change those programs, even if they wanted to.
2) Seeing as how most Republican lawmakers are boomers themselves, it's unlikely that they are being "dishonest" when they say that they want to cut taxes without touching those programs. Even if they aren't boomers, they aren't being dishonest if they don't want to cut programs their constituents support. I think you need to refresh your knowledge of Democratic workings. Generally, elected politicians do what the electorate wants them to do. Believe it or not, but this is by design. Or perhaps the difficulty your having is with the definition of "dishonest." Either way, think before you post.
3) You're assuming that a credible budget can only exist if it cuts SS + Medicare. That's a big assumption, and you're losing points for it. Although I think the system is fucked until we cut them, many others will disagree. Still, let's assume--as you have--that cutting those programs is the only way to totally fix the deficit. That still doesn't rule out the possibility for "credible" budgets that might be a partial fix.
This thread isn't going too well for you, I'm afraid. |

Date: July 17th, 2012 5:21 PM Author: hairless trip school cafeteria twinkling uncleanness We can make moderate cuts / reforms to SS and medicare to control costs. president would like to get rid of bush tax cuts in excess of 500k/some high income ... president was ready to agree to a budget reduction plan that was 10-1 cuts to tax increases. Republicans refused. Jeb Bush even said that was stupid and that he would agree to such a compromise.
Obviously that plan would not fix our problems entirely. It will take years. but it would be an enormous step in the right direction.
Both parties are NOT impotent to change Medicare and SS. Republicans have, the past few years, refused to yield an inch for purely political reasons. |

Date: July 17th, 2012 5:40 PM Author: hairless trip school cafeteria twinkling uncleanness First, but weakest point is that Obama arguably already has.
Romney said Obama "is the only president to ever cut $500 billion from Medicare." It wasn’t a cut, rather a reduction in future growth (the size of the Medicare program will increase dollar-wise). And other presidents have cut Medicare in the past, though you can debate whether specific changes to the program constitute a "cut" in some of those cases as well.
Here are links to the PROPOSED deficit reduction plan, that I directly referred to: "President Obama’s budget director said Monday that the president’s new deficit-reduction plan would impose “a lot of pain,” and that is clearly true of White House proposals to cut $320 billion from projected spending on Medicare and Medicaid in the coming decade."
"In his plan to trim the federal deficit, President Barack Obama Monday proposed $320 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, largely by changing how the federal government pays health providers, slashing payments to drug companies, and dramatically changing the way it splits the costs of Medicaid with the states, according to a fact sheet the White House released."
These were probably the first two google results, but I think it makes my point. |
|
Date: July 17th, 2012 5:43 PM Author: hairless trip school cafeteria twinkling uncleanness A more recent article with the same propositions http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Daily-Reports/2012/February/13/Obama-readies-budget.aspx (several mainstream newspapers cited in the kaiser article)
Here's the Washington post on Obama proposing social security cuts
"President Obama is pressing congressional leaders to consider a far-reaching debt-reduction plan that would force Democrats to accept major changes to Social Security and Medicare in exchange for Republican support for fresh tax revenue.
At a meeting with top House and Senate leaders set for Thursday morning, Obama plans to argue that a rare consensus has emerged about the size and scope of the nation’s budget problems and that policymakers should seize the moment to take dramatic action."
Are you getting the fucking point yet? the president has taken a moderate, compromise approach to deficit reduction and has been sandbagged by Republicans because he BOXED THEM OUT. HE GETS CREDIT FOR A REASONABLE COMPROMISE, THEY REFUSE TO HAND HIM A POLITICAL VICTORY AND WE SUFFER. AS A COUNTRY. |

|
Date: July 17th, 2012 6:01 PM Author: Crimson bespoke quadroon like you said, the 500B is not a cut. It's a reduction in projected future growth in MC, the assumption for which is based on obamacare slowing MC entitlement claims, and obamacare, whether it reduces MC entitlement claims or not, is projected to cost 1.1T. Spending 1.1T to save at best 500B isn't sound economics. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1996472&forum_id=2...id.#21109499) |
|
Date: July 17th, 2012 6:06 PM Author: hairless trip school cafeteria twinkling uncleanness The implications of the ACA are big - it is not meant solely to save the government money, but increase access to care and the means to pay for that care.
Regardless, I don't think the 500B from the ACA is an actual cut. I agree with the fact check website that it is not a "cut" - and that Romney is wrong when he says Obama cut 500billion from medicare.
(repeat that one again ... romeny attacking the president for allegedly cutting medicare).
I did, however, make my point that the President has proposed cuts to medicare and social security. |
|
Date: July 17th, 2012 6:14 PM Author: Claret Gay Wizard Hairy Legs Those aren't "cuts" in the meaningful sense. It's Obama posturing that he'll "cut" the beauracratic burdens--not benefits. Which he hasn't done, btw
Also, 320 billion doesn't do SHIT to the problem (70 trillion), so that's hardly a solution. Start cutting 15-20 trillion and I'll concede |
