Why can't the repugs understand there is only one economic pie, per the human rights announced in the US Constitution. More pieces of pie cannot be created; existing pieces of pie cannot be destroyed, according to the law of the conservation of economics. Pie can only be converted into the ownership of the greedy rich (through devilish, un-humanitarian means and/or luck), or the lack of ownership of the poor. The pie is cut into 6.976 billion pieces, one piece for everyone on earth. The more people are born, the smaller each piece of pie gets (for greedy people and other taxpayers) as parts of each person's pie that makes more than $250,000 a year (and other taxpayers) is cut off and re-distributed to the newborn. People who make less than $250,000 a year have varying amounts of pieces cut off according to tax policies of the moment. The poor have no sliver of their piece of pie removed and if they are professionally unemployed have more pie given to them to encourage progressive voting. People who die that have pie left, should rightly turn over all their pie to the federal family, have the federal family remove a certain percentage as a handling fee so the federal family can go on vacation, play golf and pay government employee union dues and stuff, and send the rest of the money to the professionally unemployed and newborns.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but we had a balanced budget back when the 2001 tax cuts were followed by a lot of reckless spending, so maybe it makes sense to cut some of the spending and cancel the tax cuts to re-balance the budget.
