He'd fit right in within certain aging "intellectual" subcultures which take themselves way too serious in Silicon Valley.

Maybe the Kenna Club or something along those lines.

Seems like he was following one of my heroes, a Democrat, no less, JFK, whom today's liberals would rail against and a right-wing extremist for slashing income tax rates by more than half. FDR as well. Then there is William Jefferson "Slick-Willie" Clinton.

Funny how, even though taxes have gone down under Obama, some folks don't like facts.

HA! Seriously???

You realize what a deficit is, right? Do you understand the difference between deficit and debt?

A deficit means that in a fiscal year, we spend more than we take in revenue. The deficit is going down, sure, but its still a deficit. When you say "the deficit is going down," all that means is the amount of dollars we'll be adding to the national debt is slightly less than in years past.

Get back to me when there's a surplus that we can actually allocate towards paying down the national debt.

It's not how much you're in debt with, it's whether or not you can pay them back. Those debts are investment and they'll be paid back. Some people don't get that. They're the same people who discourage others from taking out student loans to further their education.

It's perfectly fine to borrow in order to invest. As opposed to GW Bush, who borrowed in order to consume (like a war); in fact the craziness of the bubble pretty much reflect the mindset of the Republican economic model - Borrow to Consume.
