Debt, Spending and Taxation.

[colddiesel]

There are three threads on the 'front page' which purport to discuss the economy. None of them even begin to address the biggest problem. The biggest problems are: 1. Grossly excessive public debt. 2. A pressing need to rein in Government spending. 3. A need to increase taxation. Reform in just one of these areas will be insufficient.

Given that governments of all parties are responsible for the current mess and all election candidates are terrified to even raise the issue, what do you think should be done.?

All a big scam to keep the taxpayer enslaved to the collective.

Revised job estimates have nothing to do with the national debt, government spending or taxation (the topic of this thread).

Try to focus. Did you forget your meds again?
