^ This guy said pretty much everything I've wanted to say only better than I could say it.
When it was GOP pet projects that benefited the wealthy, it was spend ahoy! Now that we need to spend to help get Americans back to work, it's cut the deficit. Insane!

What you and Mr. Pearlman of Easllake don't understand is , there will be no returning to work unless the deficit is addressed. Even the Europeans get it.
I am curious, what are the GOP projects that benefited the wealthy only?

The Novemeber election is perplexing. We are supposed to reign in the outrageous Demcrat's spending by electing Republicans?
I want one piece of evidence that the Rs are trustworthy in reinging in the incredible amount of tax dollars wasted.

The two wars and the Bush tax cuts that both added substantially to our deficit.

There not Democrats. The Dems have set records with spending and they are telling you they intend to do more. Right now the darling of the Republican party is Chris Christie, look at what he is doing. That is the direction the country will and should be going under Republican leadership.
Yep, exactly. They only give a rat's ass about the deficit when it's politically expedient for them. Otherwise, they spend way worse than Democrats, and never concern themselves with paying for any of their tax cuts or programs.
Look at the Medicare drug bill debacle for a perfect example. Hundreds of billions of dollars -- not paid for in any way, shape or form.

I love Christie, he is not taking any BS. He knows what has to be done and he is doing it. The whiney Teacher's union had its day. Now its our turn.
OK so now answer my question. Surely you aren't saying the wars and tax cuts benefited the wealthy alone.
The tax cuts, for example eliminating the estate tax for people like Paris Hilton, were specifically designed so that the wealthy would have more money and that it would trickle down. I don't wanna start a debate of trickle down theory but that was the idea.
And rich people absolutely made a lot of money off of the wars through government contracts.

But what the hell, it's okay when they do it.
I am perplexed, are you for or against deficit spending?
