Current republican budget proposal will lower the deficit by one week (racism, compare)

This is good he is one of the few who gets it. The GOP proposal is a joke.

Do you forget Democrats calling for Bush to do something to turn the economy around?

Stop making excuses and deflecting. Just pick a year that defines "economic prosperity" since 2000 and show me that capital gains revenue was even higher (much less compared to GDP because that will open a whole other area that you may not like to tread into).

As persuasive an argument as that is perhaps you could outline the spending cuts put forth by the Dems.

Want to stop spending? End the wars.

I belive they are for budget cuts. Certainly between the two parties, thay are the only party calling for cuts. So you choice is between some cuts or no cuts.

I should have phrased that: Want to lower spending.

well it shouldn't require "belief." If they really supported deficit reduction, then they'd propose something that actually did that.

And this:
Republicans propose $61 billion in annual spending cuts

or to put this graphically:


"...but it's a start..."
it isn't a start. it is nothing. it is purely symbolic.

the republicans aren't proposing meaningful deficit reduction. period.

Spending should be rolled back to 1999 levels. The gravy train is off the tracks.

Well clearly they ARE. And clearly the Dems do not want to cut spending , they want to increase it.
