Well Said, Bernie Sanders!

[G-Man]

if you believe the CBO, then you must also believe them about "OBAMACARE".

Fair enough...The CBO has indeed shown themselves to be driven by an agenda and their calculations often have little connection with common sense or reality. That's going to make a meaningful discussion difficult, though, since there isn't any source you can point to and say that they're 100 percent unbiased.

That being said, it seems pretty obvious to me that revenue is not the problem. The government could bring in one quadrillion dollars and by next year, Bernie Sanders and other lawmakers would have found a way to spend one and a half. In any household, if your revenue goes down, you spend less: you buy cheaper food, you hold off on a new car and new clothes, and you adjust for the reduced income. For some reason, there are people that believe that this doesn't apply to the government. I say that's nonsense and I imagine that myself and a lot of others will be voting for lawmakers next year that stand for fiscal responsibility instead of trying to figure out who to demagogue.
