And that's the point. There are always times when deficit spending is wise, and recommended. Those times should be few, and the deficit spending that Obama has supported and recommended is that kind.
Compare that with Bush pushing 2 tax cuts through and not revoking them when we hit economic trouble spots or when we went to war. Compare that with Bush dragging us into a totally unreasonable war with Iraq, a war he knew by February of 2003 was unwise and unnecessary. Compare that with Bush and other Republicans forgetting about paygo, and pushing the Medicare drug plan without a means to pay for it - the largest entitlement program in decades.
Show me all the times that FoxNews objected to all the above, otherwise they're horrible hypocrites.
Really though, what a lame as$ analogy. I don't believe MMFA has ever claimed to be even a "news" (note the quotes) organization.
OK, so it's a bill. If Obama's in for eight years, that's $750 a year. Two bucks and a nickel a day.
I like being America enough that $2.05 doesn't seem that bad for damage control after eight years of Republican mismanagement. I wonder why the people who are responsible for that damage are the most upset about taking some responsibility for it.
Stop going to Starbucks every day and you're even.
Tax and tax, tax it to me. Give, give it to the rest of the world all that we have here.
Vote, vote for cahage and get some.
