Cuba != America, so comparing the extreme actions of the Cuban government to anyone in American politics is, well, just incredibly stupid.
This ^^ Cuba has a closed political system, and from its own public statements is doing this out of necessity (provide an alternative to the displaced government workers) to try to boost its economic system. Of course when you're going from 0 to 60, it's extreme.
The US is in a much different position then Cuba. So trying to say that "cutting government workers by comparison is not extreme", is a bad one to make; apples and oranges.
We just need more jobs, period.
When the revered and sanctified Job Creators aren't, creating jobs, that is, then somebody else has to do it.
This ^^ Government is one of the largest job providers, period.
23 million state & local employees and over
4 million federal employees. By comparison, Walmart has
2.2 million employees. If you cut government workers, therefore, private business has to pick up the slack.
Have they? no not really. While business and the economy has slowly been recovering, hiring generally has not. It's not due to a lack of profits;
it has increased, and so has their hoarding of cash.
I think there is way too much fear mongering and the people are so stupid to believe it but yes there is nothing extreme about Paul Ryan
Baloney. Ryan wants to change Medicare as we know it, permanently. And as people elsewhere have pointed out, if his Medicare plan is such a "good deal", exempting people over a certain age doesn't send the right message.
As for his budget plan, cutting benefit programs and pushing tax cuts while not touching Defense spending or raising taxes on the wealthy is
fuzzy math.
Are you saying I cant be right on anything?
I was right on the war on drugs, look at all the people that agreed with me, check my sig as well. I was also right about the other issues.
Anyways Paul Ryan will cut nowhere close to 1million yet we call him extreme, the critics must issue the truth
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. And the truth is that you're comparing apples to oranges, or in logic terms, using false equivalence.
Well said. Cuba has the right idea of CUTTING GOVERNMENT WORKERS
And as Jhhnn pointed out, government workers include teachers, police officers, and other jobs that we take for granted and depend on for society to function.
The government isn't getting smaller and there aren't real cuts.
Because it's easier to moan and talk about smaller government than fixing it, and because it's a hard task.
It also doesn't help that in some cases government regulators are lagging behind business. Because politicians and special interest groups have been neutering government enforcement for decades. Take the environment, including the
Clean Air Act.....and
oil
