Democratic Party, the party of fiscal responsibility

That's the funniest thing I've seen...maybe EVER! No, Bush is not a Reagan fiscal conservative but neither was his father. But to say Dem's are the most fiscally responsible......who else makes up Congress? What is Blanco? What is Kip? This first solution from these Dem's is never cutting anything....they look for something to tax you and I out of.....

 

I hear ya and in several other posts I have called the congressional Republicans spineless weasels........Bush is not a fiscal conservative and never was, he got that from his father.


But to say that Dem's are the party of fiscal responsibility is like saying Gitmo is a Russian gulag.

 

Not. Even. Close.

I think he just meant it in a relative sense. Compared to the current neo-con trends, the dems are fiscally responsible.

 

it's wartime Red, throw spending out the door. Democrats waste more money in peace time on pork barrel politics than Republicans do in all out warfare. Bombs aren't cheap. but it's nice to have someone to blame, kind of ironic though since those same planes, bombers and rifles are helping keep the Democrats free and democratic. Too bad Brother slick willy didn't spend a dime or two on defense, maybe we wouldn't be so deep in it right now.

whatever spin you want to put on it man, it's all the same.

 

JSRacing, spending is way up, even throwing out the war spending. Shocking I know (I was a die hard Republican for years before they changed their platform).

Hell, I don't mind them spending as much as they want on Defense. I want us to have the baddest tools available for our soldiers, and don't mind a bit if that's where my tax dollars go.

 

He and I both specifically stated that the numbers are reflective of non-defense/non-military discretionary spending.

 

Serious part.
Oh, is it ok if i disagree? Chaos, you can report whatever you like from 100 different sources. Doesn't make it fact.
Everyone has a spin on spending. the media has the corner on the "spin" market.
creative book keeping can make any numbers look good or bad.


KIDDING PART:
key statement here = he and I. Yodda says, " joined at the hip are we?"
You two are so cute together! :shock:
:yelwink2:

Disclaimer:
all in fun guys, dont take it serious. :dis:

 

You're right, there are more stringent criteria for factual validity. However, in this case, the information meets those qualifications. These spending habits are well-known and documented. But you are welcome to seek out refuting information, if you can.

 

You go first. since they are so well documented.

what spin rag can you find? you can find 1000 different takes on it. You read my post?
