- – Tax rates are the lowest they’ve been since the 1950s, so yeah.

As usual, I completely agree. Back when our homo habilis ancestors kept allosaurs for pets, those with huge capital investments in rock plants tolerated 91% marginal tax rates. Not anymore.
Today, the only profitable industries are selling investment instruments, and those who can do that difficult and demanding work would leave and take all their jobs with them if their taxes exceeded 15%. So you can’t tax anyone making more than $1 million more than 15%. And, with hoards of jihadists waiting in the Islamic Dominion of Canada and the Islamic Republic of Mexico, we cannot cut even one penny from our defense budget. Our soldiers could not possibly keep us safe if they had to rely on $499.99 hammers. So no cuts there.
But we absolutely must have a balanced budget, and how can we do that with no increases in revenues and no cuts in $500 hammers?
The answer is simple: Romneymath, a math so advanced PhD mathematicians and economists can’t understand it. But, sadly, the idiot voters rejected Romneymath because Acorn stole the election.
Maybe in ’14 we can elect a Tea Party veto-proof Congress. Then our textbooks can tell the TRVTH, that the world was created in 4004 BC with a regenerating supply of fossil fuels that will last until the apocalypse, and we can balance the budget without raising taxes or cutting defense by using Romneymath.

When I was in service I never did understand why I could buy a 120 watt Weller soldering gun for $6.00 and the government paid $16.00 for the same item.

Another example of Romneymath: “I can’t be overdrawn, I still have checks left!”

Because—you paid 6.00 bucks and just got a 120 watt Weller soldering gun, but for 16.00 bucks the military got a gun, watt one hundred and twenty, for the use of soldering, Weller Corporation, military use!

Military procurement is a hotbed of favoritism and price gouging. It’s an enormous drain on the Federal budget, but some people will shout down anyone who suggests looking into it- or any of the other ways the military wastes money- with accusations that they want our troops to die on the battlefield.

Harry Reid & Obama pushed him down. Along with the rest of the country! Shame on them. I hope Obama enjoys his $4 million dollar vacation at the taxpayers’ expense. What a disaster he is. The next four years is going to be miserable. Pray for our country.

Wait a minute though—you mean the government only paid ten dollars more than the civilian cost?!?!? That’s actually reasonable! I would have though six bucks in the stores meant a minimum 2000.00 for the military!
