It's basic Keynesian economic theory that robust, targeted deficit spending is an accepted (some say recommended) strategy for easing a recession, especially one that is more severe and accompanied by high unemployment. Bush got us into an Iraq war that was unjustified but monstrously expensive, and instead of doing anything meaningful to pay for it, he and his congressional cohorts cut taxes for the rich and corporations. Ergo, recession. Fucking tools. Ah, yes, I recall so well all the times that Bush went on TV after 9/11, speaking of how he inherited the AQ problems from Clinton.... Oh, wait...that's right, he didn't. But, while you're on your little tirade...why don't you show us where you get more of ANYTHING by taxing it....other than people taking steps to avoid the tax, that is.

Odumbo was part of the problem when he filibustered the bill that would have clamped down on risky loans made by fannie/freddie back in 2005 because he wanted low income people to be able to buy a house, even though they couldn't afford it. Democrats are good at pointing fingers but both sides are to blame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice dodge....too bad it doesn't reconcile with your little rant, above about the tax cuts. So, you're saying that you get MORE growth in the economy, the more money you tax out of it? Wonder why that didn't work for the banks, then?Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
