No thread on the speech Obama just gave?

Cutting the medical assistant programs on the poor and needy while allowing the richest of the rich to not pay taxes is insane!!

Having the government PAY medical costs for ANY citizen, let alone illegal alien, is insane.

100% taxation of ALL personal income would NOT cover proposed federal spending...

100% confiscation of all property in the US, and selling such to foreign nations, would NOT cover the total federal debt.

Eliminate all non-contracted for payments, ALL welfare.

Pay off the treasury debt, and contracted for debt, with printed dollars.  ACCEPT that the politicians have.... screwed us... and move on without them.
