In the short term it causes inflation. Potentially in the long term, think about who is buying our debt, mostly the Chinese and Saudis, and certainly you know neither are really our friends.
Its not a good idea, it is the only viable idea the idiots in DC have. Its either provide corporate welfare to these mega companies, or see millions of people lose thier jobs. Which would you rather have?
You and I both know that was not the purpose of your OP. It was to make unrealistic statements aimed towards democrats. Turnabout is fair play.
Maybe a little, but I think you are failing to understand that "Conservatism"
is generally dead among the politicians that are actually elected. There hasnt been a conservative in the WH since 84.
We are a welfare state? I am not buying that. The vast majority of Americans earn every penny they have. But I will say that there are cases where people for various reasons and methods do need assistance. I am not interested in making the poor even more poor.
We would be fine if our expenditures were much more close to our income as a nation. There is no question GWB has been allowed spending to spiral out of control with zero plan to actually pay for any of it, except to pass the debt onto me, as a late 20s working man, that I will be paying for the rest of my life. I hope those kids in Iraq like thier new schools, while my community is forced to bond for basic repairs to our education facilities.
Oh you can give that whole second sentence line of thinking a big rest. I am not going to play that game.
I put a lot of blame on the President. It wouldnt matter what party he was from. I believe in living within my means. I am OK with welfare as long as it is being paid for. When we are handing out welfare on credit, it is idiotic.
How about you be more realistic with your OP.
What rights are we giving up? please do tell me what rights you are being stripped of by someone getting a college grant, or public housing, or reduced medical costs.
I addressed this ealier, but where do I draw the line? I draw the line where we continue to decrease our tax revenue while not being concerned at all about spending. The biggest thing we can do to address the federal debt is to not continue these very dangerous defecit spending that has been rampant under the Bush administration.
