At a reduced value.

 

[Big Gubmint]

No problem. Big Gubmint can raise taxes, too.

 

[Billy the Great Khan]

No problem. Big Gubmint can raise taxes, too.

That too is self defeating. In multiple ways no less.

 

[Big Gubmint]

Big Gubmint has been raising taxes and printing money for over 200 years.

Big Gubmint will keep on raising taxes and printing money.

If the federal government stopped violating the Constitution it would have very little to spend money on and the deficit problem would go away very, very quickly.

 

[Big Gubmint]

Big Gubmint is here to stay.

 

[DamnYankee]

Then so is the deficit.

 

[Big Gubmint]

As Big Gubmint reminded you earlier, Big Gubmint is OK with deficits.

 

[DamnYankee]

Until it goes bankrupt.

 

[Billy the Great Khan]

Big Gubmint has been raising taxes and printing money for over 200 years.

Big Gubmint will keep on raising taxes and printing money.

It also has lowered taxes on numerous occasions.

 

[Big Gubmint]

Big Gubmint cannot be bankrupted.

 

[Billy the Great Khan]

Big Gubmint cannot be bankrupted.

Yeah, it kinda can.

 

[Big Gubmint]

No. It absolutely cannot.

What proof do you have that the government is violating the constitution? Besides, you'd be the first one to start howling when your pet project of the services that directly affect you are cut.

You can provide the proof for me. Where is Social Security authorized by the Constitution? Medicare? Department of Education? How about the Department of Labor?
