Sean Hannity Will Lower Taxes By Ending “All Entitlements”

Sean Hannity‘s incorrigible conservatism was out in full display again last night on his Great American panel, where Democratic strategist Jacques Degraff, apparently frustrated with only hearing Hannity complain about high taxes, asked him what programs, specifically, he would cut in order to reduce takes. He gave Degraff a Palinesque response: “Everything, across the board.”

The tax conversation came up in the context of new taxes on tanning salons meant to cushion tax hikes in other areas of the market. Hannity and conservative panelist Jedediah Bila agreed that the tax was not in order, but then Degraff suggested that the only way to prevent tax increases is to cut spending. On what would the spending be cut? “Everything, across the board,” Hannity answered. Lest this sound too much like a call to anarchy, he quickly added, “I would end entitlements,” but did not define exactly what he considered to be an “entitlement” and what he considered a necessary state institution.

He followed that up by Vice President Joe Biden a “cheapskate”– unless he was spending other people’s money.

Don’t worry about Sean Hannity. Worry about the Chinese. Obama needs to borrow trillions of dollars from them to pay for all these entitlements. And for four months in a row, the Chinese have reduced their holdings of US Treasury debt. (That’s a story the media has decided not to cover.)

Mark my words, the time will come — and sooner than the Democrats think — when they won’t be able to pay for all these giveaways. And it won’t be the Republicans who have stopped them. It will be caused by the destruction of dollar, and the unwillingness of anyone to lend the Democrats any more money.

felixw, you sure are a scared kitty cat, aren’t you.

Haven’t you heard the saying, “If you owe the bank a thousand dollars, the bank owns you. But if you owe the bank a billion dollars, you own the bank.”

We own the bank. We own the Chinese.

Biden is cheap??

No!!!!

WASHINGTON — Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and his wife gave an average of $369 a year to charity during the past decade, his tax records show.

What is the point of this story? Cut spending, duh. Seems like the story is trying to tell us that this some kind of extreme position. I know the libs don’t get it.

Sounds like Pawn Vannity had a Ron Paul moment, I’m shocked! What Pawn really meant was everything except funding any wars. Then it’s carte blanche.

TruckBoatTruck, if you think we “own” the Chinese, you need to pay closer attention to what they are doing with their US treasury debt holdings. They are simply let the bonds come due, collecting the principal and reinvesting elsewhere. If you think you can force the Chinese to lend Obama the trillions of dollars he needs, please explain how you plan to do it. Soldiers? Nuclear weapons? A big bank heist in Beijing?

This is the problem I have with Hannity. He makes these off the wall remarks like he was in a bar with his friends as opposed to being on public TV. So we turn off all entitlements as he suggest and let grandma and grandpa starve to death or die because of no medical care. The bottom-line is the problem would only shift from one area of government to another. Once you turn on the entitlement tap on it is almost impossible to turn it off.

Thanks to Mediaite articles like this,

Sean Hannity gets A LOT of attention so he can:

-sell millions of books
-have millions of viewers-make millions of dollars

Millions of people have decided that he’s worth the time and money and they have made he very rich and powerful on the radio and TV.

It’s all one big entertainment play and it works really well.

Thanks for playing.

I’m pretty sure Sean Hannity is a functioning retard. Well, that is what I heard anyway.

Trouble is Turk Boat, when you owe the Chinese (or Mafia) a bunch of money they take it out of your hide when you don’t pay. Cutting “entidamits” would get some of these parasites out of the projects and into jobs. Oh no, wait, Mr. -0bama hasn’t “created” those jobs yet, has he?
