Infectiously Positive Man Implores
Americans To Pay Down The Debt By
Donating From Their Paychecks

Mediaite, by Noah Rothman

When is the power of positive thinking not sufficient to solve to a pressing problem? Most of the time, actually, but particularly in the case of America’s spiraling national debt and the looming crisis that mounting debt presents. Since the end of August, America’s debt as ballooned by $400 billion – 100 billion more dollars than there are stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. For businessman Scott Soucy, stopping this runaway spending is a challenge he is ready to tackle. This jolly fellow has a plan to get America’s lawmakers to the table to address the debt,

Comments:
It´s a nice concept and he may be "infectiously positive" but I wouldn´t send one more dime to those corrupt politicians until they stop spending money so recklessly. Even if it came with "express instructions that it be applied towards the debt" it would make no difference to those crooks.
Sorry, count me out.

This would be like sending Michael Moore a box of twinkies each week and hoping that he loses weight.

Let´s see, Soucy stopped paying his mortgagee, bought a lemo with a home equity loan, maxed out his credit cards and now sells T-shirts. Um, what is the difference between him and Tim Geithner? Deadbeat, heal thyself

How about this:

Ask Americans to quit taking so much welfare. Refuse all those food stamps. Don´t activate the 0bama-phone. Turn the thermostat down when welfare pays the heating bill.

After all, it´s "For the Children."

I think a line is crossed between infectiously positive and certifiably insane. It is not positive to give our government more money, and not positive to pretend otherwise. This exercise also presupposes that the problem with government debt is too little revenue, when clearly the problem is too much spending.

We are donating our paychecks. It´s called TAXES.

The problem is that it wouldn´t pay down the debt at all because the democ rats would simply spend it on their base.

The govt already takes an arm and leg from each paycheck i get, now you want me to send them my other arm and leg? Get out of here!!! My "donation" is forcibly confiscated from my paycheck already, you chump.

How about cutting out wasteful spending and donating that amount to debt repayment instead? And other idea--cut taxes for everyone and get the economy going again. If more people are working, tax revenues will increase.

Isn´t only infectious if others get the same illness too?
Seriously, I´m supposed to donate more money to this government?
For any of you Kansans out there that ever visited Joyland Amusement Park in Wichita during your youth, do you remember the pig´s head in the center of the park that sucked up the trash through its mouth?
That´s what I think of every time I hear the government discuss taxes. That trash-sucking pig.

Infectious? How about just "sick?"

I didn´t create one dime of our enormous debt and I´ve paid taxes all my life without collecting one single day of unemployment so I take no responsibility for paying it back. The government is just like a bitchy ex-wife who maxed out your credit cards and now wants more alimony to pay her bills. If Scotty Boy wants to contribute more, nobody is going to stop him.

I actually believe that if there was a serious crackdown on spending people would donate towards the debt.

Obama just gave federal workers a raise in the face of yet another recession,probably for their support in winning Va.,at least so yeah,there´s no point in sending these reckless goons more money.

Welfare should simply be stopped 9 months from today with no newcomers hopping on the bus.I don´t want to hear this crap about it not being the kid´s fault.Build group homes to warehouse these reckless people if need be.

Obama´s getting ready to throw even more billions down the refinance rathole,in fact if you were foreclosed on,you might qualify for a big payout.It´s pure insanity.

As soon as you pay down my debt, I will gladly contribute extra to pay off the nation´s debts.

Our national debt is around 100% of GDP.
If everyone sent in ALL of their earned income for a year, it still wouldn´t pay off the debt.

The debt is being monetized (through inflation) as you read this. Once a dollar is worth a penny, the value of the debt will only be $160,000 billion.


Reply 19 - Posted by: zoidberg, 12/28/2012 4:12:03 PM     (No. 9087841)

Like most other Ldotters (I assume) I work five months a year to pay what the government demands from me. So, I already gave at the office.

If you have an extra dollar in your pay check, use it to pay down your own debt. Any more, give it to your children because they will be the ones stuck with the tab.

Anyone else see the irony that Scott Soucy is using borrowed money to fund his campaign to pay down the US debt?

Does anyone know if the chief negotiators on the fiscal cliff, whoever that may be, took arithmetic and math courses in elementary, secondary and higher education classes? I am not getting it. What they are talking about is basically a math problem. I´m embarassed for the nation at their handling of this situation. I´m sure the Russians and others are snickering in their vodka.

Let me guess, Mr. Soucy is a registered Demon-RAT...

IIRC, Mike Huckabee, when he was governor of Arkansas, replied to the lefties who criticized him for cutting taxes (because it would mean no increase in social services funding), okay, I´m opening up a special account for where you critics who want more money to go to these programs can send a check.

And again, IIRC, nobody sent any checks.


Reply 26 - Posted by: Feebie, 12/28/2012 5:09:49 PM     (No. 9087902)

What? Because half of my check isn´t enough for those lying, theiving bloodsuckers? Are you kidding me?!

Talk about enabling "addicts". Our custodians of the public good.... Our "elected officials" are addicts - along with the taker crowd. Addicted to OPM (other people´s money).

On what planet does it make sense to give more OPM to an addict?

They (and this Polly Anna) can shove it. They already get too much from me as it is.

Why don´t they encourage people to pay off their own debts - giving themselves more financial stability in times of economic depression? I think they like having people indebted and ignorant. Much easier to control.

What a horrifying, amoral little man!

Well, Well, Well now there Mr. Soucy. In case you haven´t heard now..."O", ZERO, the Won, or what ever you may want to call the idiot in our White House. He is gonna take another $6000 out of my pay check this coming year and is looking for even more. Do you really think that I would give these B#$t@&ds a dime more of MY HARD earned $$$$. Go take a looonngg hike off a short pier with the rest of your liberal friends.

I am so glad many posters had the same reaction I did when I saw this dude on Fox and Friends this morning. First, I thought he sounded like a liberal. Second, I thought the Congress needs to make do with the taxes we already send. Third, I thought this really isn´t the problem, it it SPENDING. If we pay down the debt with this moron´s idea then the Congress will just permit themselves more dollars to spend. No deal!

Bunk. He can implore, beseech, coerce, cajole, or just plain ask. I have way too much confiscated already, and I wager that over 50% of it is squandered.

Can´t disagree with any of the posts here. Oh, wait. When I was young and laid off (in the 50´s), it wasn´t the taxpayers who funded unemployment benefits. It was from a fund that came from employers! No average worker´s money, just funded by employers.

If someone called, do you really think the gov knows Scott or where his $500 went ?

It´s a spit in the ocean. Zippy spends so fast and gives away so much, we could never make a dent in the national debt.

Frankly every Man, woman and child should refuse to give the government a lead plug until they get their spending under control.

What an idiot! Give the gummint more money they will simply spend it! Any moron could figure that out. No- if we do anything we should be cutting how much money these jerks we have "representing" us have.

In 2007, then Senator Barack Obama appeared on CNN´s Larry King Live and called on U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign. Obama said Gonzales was acting more like the president´s attorney than the people´s attorney and viewed himself as an "enabler of the administration." "Well, I voted against Alberto Gonzales confirmation for precisely the reason we are seeing now. I said this on the floor of the senate, that although he seemed to be a capable attorney, he seemed to conceive his role as being the president´s attorney instead of being the people´s attorney," Obama said.

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why.

We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

House Speaker John A. Boehner on Thursday flatly ruled out chances of the House passing the Senate’s immigration bill, saying his chamber will debate its own bill instead. The Ohio Republican and his top lieutenants in the party issued a joint statement that seemed designed to tamp down some of the momentum behind the Senate bill, which emerged from a committee on a bipartisan 13-5 vote this week, and to stake out a House GOP position. “While we applaud the progress made by our Senate colleagues, there are numerous ways in which

During friendly questioning from Rep. Hank “I fear that Guam will capsize!” Johnson in Congress last week, Attorney General Eric Holder offered the following statement. In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy. He made that statement before the facts about the sweep on Fox News’ James Rosen were known. Since then, it’s come to light that Holder himself approved the subpoena that, among other things, named Rosen as a criminal co-conspirator.

As the saying goes, scratch a liberal and you’ll find a tyrant underneath. NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo is but the latest example. He shoved a very restrictive and ill-considered gun law through the state legislature in the dead of night. Among its flaws, the law criminalized police officers who tote firearms with magazines that hold more than seven rounds. Sheriffs around the state have objected to the law. Cuomo summoned them to the state capitol under what appears to be a false pretext, and used the meeting to threaten them into silence. Cuomo invited

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
