I have an ulterior motive. Reps need to spend more time in DC -- SixerHoo 01/10/2023 1:57PM
There shouldn’t be a debt ceiling, period, much less -- hoolstoptheheels 01/10/2023 12:09PM
Agreed. The time to address spending is before it happens, not after. -- TomGlansAski 01/10/2023 1:03PM
It would be typically MAGA, but not make America great again. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 01/10/2023 1:05PM
Without a debt ceiling, we will spend less! Sorry not buying it. ** -- HoodatB 01/10/2023 12:23PM
We are going to spend whatever Congress has approved to be spent -- 111Balz 01/10/2023 4:04PM
Makes sense, since I never claimed we’d spend less without a debt ceiling. -- hoolstoptheheels 01/10/2023 12:28PM
Disagree about the debt ceiling/spending cuts. They are only tangentially -- 81_Hokie 01/10/2023 11:11AM
This exactly. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 01/10/2023 11:57AM
Bobo clearly does not know consequences of default, but yeah ... -- Blah 01/10/2023 11:11AM

Yes and even under the current system, the vast majority of taxpayers could -- Seattle .Hoo 01/10/2023 12:05PM
But that’s not the point of simplification. It’s not about how many -- hoolstoptheheels 01/10/2023 12:23PM
Of course. What I'm saying is that for most taxpayers the complexity simply -- Seattle .Hoo 01/10/2023 12:51PM
Not Federal tax, but take a peek at the DC income tax instructions -- Stimp 01/10/2023 1:00PM
I never really thought about it, but who is responsible for DCs income tax -- Seattle .Hoo 01/10/2023 1:04PM
VAT has been around forever, if that's what a consumption tax refers to. I -- Seattle .Hoo 01/10/2023 11:53AM

A balanced budget is a pipe dream and not -- BocaHoo91 01/10/2023 10:59AM
Unfortunately most agree with you. -- HoodatB 01/10/2023 11:56AM
I don’t think most agree with me. -- BocaHoo91 01/10/2023 12:12PM
Again something has to change. It's not sustainable long term. And that -- HoodatB 01/10/2023 12:21PM
Right. What needs to change is we -- BocaHoo91 01/10/2023 12:41PM
