[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5670585, member: 58386"] The federal government's current spending authorization ends 9-30. Congress simply doesn't have the desire to write a piece of legislation and an entirely new tax code that would require mountains of manhours spent on hearings and floor fights and years of court fights just for a new system that you're not sure would replace dollar for dollar the revenue streams that would be eliminated. Ok, so you want to reform the tax code? Where do you start? You're worried about too many government hand outs? The tax cuts alone are by far the biggest handouts. Not to mention little schemes like carried interest that only the very wealthiest enjoy. You want to cut federal spending? 71% of all federal spending is mandated by law and require full funding So where in that 71% area do you want to start? The GOP for years has been challenged to come forward and state where they want the cuts. But every time the public sees that the cuts the GOP wants are all at expense of the poor and aged while asking nothing from the wealthiest Americans . The result is a public backlash the GOP didn't expect because they thought that the public wasn't paying attention. [/QUOTE]
