Greenspan to French finmin: US lost deficit control Sunday September 25, 4:32 AM EDT By Paul Carrel WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told France's Finance Minister Thierry Breton the United States has "lost control" of its budget deficit, the French minister said on Saturday. "'We have lost control,' that was his expression," Breton told reporters after a bilateral meeting with Greenspan. "The United States has lost control of their budget at a time when racking up deficits has been authorized without any control (from Congress)," Breton said. "We were both disappointed that the management of debt is not a political priority today," he added... > Greenspan to French finmin: US lost deficit control > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > "We were both disappointed that the management of debt is not a political > priority today," he added... Thierry Breton (known in France as Breton le cretin - no translation needed) is just trying to find comfort for his own huge financial problems. We're going broke, you're going broke, let's all feel good about it... Geez, you wanna see what these idiots have done to my tax bill! >> Greenspan to French finmin: US lost deficit control >> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >going broke, you're going broke, let's all feel good about it... Geez, you >wanna see what these idiots have done to my tax bill! I am sure our tax bill will be right up with yours in the near future.

Well, when you get to a to marginal all-up tax rate of 76% (geez, I wish this was joke, but it aint) let me know. Compared to France, the USA is like The Caymans. > Regards > > Mike >>>> Greenspan to French finmin: US lost deficit control >>>> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >> >> Mike 76%?!?!!!!! How is that? You mean like a combination of all taxes combined? Sales,local, federal,fuel and the like.You guys need to have your own tea party. Man that has to be tough to pay all that money to the gummint. We pay more than enough over here though and when I look at my paycheck and see my deductions I just cringe. NP: The psychedelic world of the 13th floor elevators Regards Mike >>>>>Greenspan to French finmin: US lost deficit control >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > the gummint. We pay more than enough over here though and when I look > at my paycheck and see my deductions I just cringe. We probably aren't that far behind them it's just that much of our taxing is cleaverly hidden. Think about corporate taxes, do you think a "corporate" legal document cares that it's being taxed? Of course not, the costs of that taxation are paid for by higher prices for consumers and lower wages for the workers. You add up your income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, SSI, medicare, state taxes, local taxes, licensing taxes, cigarette taxes, cell phone taxes, hotel taxes, (and a hundred more if I felt like typing the rest of the night) and I'll kiss your a.s if even the middle of the road guys in the US aren't paying WELL over 50% of our incomes in taxes.
