Would I like a faster recovery? Sure. But at least the direction is up in 2012 as opposed to down in 2008.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Well, it's a false prosperity; looks great until you have to pay it back. I was surprised to hear Romney during the debates listing all the programs he would NOT cut as he reduced taxes; several times he said he'd restore spending that Obama cut. Sounds like a plan for bankruptcy. Wasn't he the fiscally conservative candidate originally? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it was still weird to hear the rep argue to retain spending while the dem defended cuts. (macro picture matters - it's not cut and dry. Same discussion applies about talking only tax cuts and not about the rest of the picture - see, both sides tried to play that game) ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bush spent like a drunken sailor. If Democrats can be described as tax-and-spend liberals (which isn't really accurate either) than Republicans are borrow-and-spend fiscally irresponsibles."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
