As Revenues Plunge To 60-Year Low, GOP Congressman Claims ?We Have Too Much Revenue?

As a share of GDP, government revenue in 2009 (the most recent year available) was at its ?lowest since 1950.? As this chart from the Congressional Budget Office demonstrates, the recession decimated the federal tax base:



But even before the recession, there simply wasn?t enough money coming into the federal government to cover costs, forcing the government to borrow 40 cents of every dollar it spends, as Republicans like to remind Americans so frequently.

It?s worth noting that the last time Republicans claimed there was too much revenue coming into the federal government, they ended up solving that problem by helping to create the deficits of today. ?[M]ore than any other? reason, President Bush justified his 2001 tax cuts by claiming the budget surplus President Clinton created was actually bad. ?A surplus in tax revenue, after all, means that taxpayers have been overcharged,? Bush explained. Of course, the Bush tax cuts are one of the largest contributors to today?s budget deficit by depriving the government of needed revenue.

There wasn?t ?too much revenue? in 2001, and there?s far less today. As a member of the budget committee, Rokita should be aware of that.

With those thinking, that you and the baggers adopted, there is little chance to avoid bankruptcy...
Yeah yeah

When Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) gave her inaugural address as speaker of the House in 2007, she vowed there would be ?no new deficit spending.? Since that day, the national debt has increased by $5 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
