Yep. It's a way both parties buy votes.

lawrocket[Reply]When Obama took office the debt was around 10.6 trillion, now after 5 1/2 years of Obama leadership with 2 1/2 years to go, we are at over 17 trillion. What was that about responsibility?
The Party of No seems to have zero problem spending lots of money. Considering that the POTUS can't spend a cent without the House letting him. The President is addicted to spending. And the House GOP is his greatest enabler...
In this case we have to put it on the president and Harry Reid. Nothing makes it to the president to be signed without the Senate's approval. Harry Ried won't let anything come up on the Senate floor unless it's a bill that will make the liberal base happy.
Meanwhile we have the president standing in front of America talking about how the tea party is a bunch of terrorists and the republicans are the party of no.
John Boehner has agreed to a lot of spending just to get bills through the senate to the president and fight the "party of no" stigma, and has suffered tremendously in his own party to do it. It's either that or let the president continue to bad mouth the republicans from his loud microphone we call the white house (like its done any good) with a complicent media that does not question anything that comes from his mouth.
Hopefully republicans will take the senate next election and we'll see taxes and spending come down.

Sure. Right after they pass their $34 billion energy bill (gotta increase Army spending) and add ten billion or so to finish the F35, and buy a few more $7 billion Navy ships, perhaps a few measly tens of billions on a border fence - why, they'll get around to that spending cut right after that. After a much-needed vacation, of course. Spending all that money is hard work.

Spending under Reagan - UP, by a lot. National debt TRIPLED.
Biggest % increase in debt under any president, ever.
Spending under GWB - UP, a lot. 2 unfunded wars. Also GDP declined, as did the stock market. Biggest recession in generations.
Yep, those Republicans sure know how to manage an economy.

***What they did makes sense, and not simply because of the tax benefits.
Tim Hortons is good at coffee, coffee is high margin, and BK is not good at coffee.

That would explain why you often see Tim Horton's coffee shops on the same building as Wendy's burger joints.
Recent rumours have TH buying Cold Stone ice cream parlours .... probably for the same tax dodge.

The problem is that you get to be a politician by being a people pleaser, and the way to please constituents is to
