Combine the two and you get the GOP.Todd


There are many facts that support the argument that Liberal policies have done the most to damage the lower socioeconomic class's. And if conservatives have been spending like a drunken sailor, liberals have been spending like a fleet of drunken sailors.

You say that "the Tea Party doesn't have the slightest understanding of economics of fiscal policy". I say that any Democrats that do have an understanding of economics and or fiscal policy and then pursue the objectives of the current administration, are seeking to, *"to create permanent dependency on government (and fealty to the party of government)" without regard to the fiscal and economic consequence that must follow the implementation of their desired policies and or programs.

Not surprising that you would hold this opinion...and not surprisingly, it is incorrect.

Under what Administrations have people made better returns on their investments? Under what Administrations have the deficits increased?

These things are easily found hard facts...not blathering from Krauthammer...and the facts show that under Republican administrations the irresponsible spending and tax cuts for the rich hurt us all, you included, and that those things always improve under Democratic administrations, as they are right now and have been for a few years.

Fish on...
