He seriously wants to pull a Clinton (Bill, not Hillary). But this is 2011, not 1995. A proposed budget that merely cuts the rate at which the deficit increases instead of actually cutting the deficit is no plan at all. AzWm I don't generally read your links but Presidents have forever tried to sell a decrease in the rate of growth as an actual decrease in spending. He could just as easily be accused of trying to pull a George Bush (either one), and of course, Saint Reagan took us from being the biggest creditor nation that the world had ever known to the biggest debtor nation the world had ever known in his first three years in office -- to his credit, I might add. As I recall, don't you right wingers justify it when you do it by claiming that it is a decrease when measured against GDP? That, supposedly, is more critical than a decrease in real dollars. Personally, I'm a much bigger deficit hawk than most of you right wingers and I would love to see a balanced budget amendment. We would go to war over HOW to balance the budget but balancing it is near the top of my wish list. Yoda out... |
