Increasing deficits and debt with no real outlook at how the debts are going to be paid are what caused the collapse of the financial sector and, as I stated earlier, is how the Iraq War/Tax Cuts relationship was a major contributing factor to our current economic state.
OK, you didn't come right out and say it, but it was definitely implied when you used words like "insane" and link Bush's economy (which you refer to negatively) with "massive increase of national debt".

You can't have it both ways. And for the record, I think as usual we're not that far apart on our thoughts here. We just have a different way of arriving there.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I see what you're saying. However, Bush's economy did result in a "massive increase of national debt", but my issue with it was that the debt was racked up with no method in sight for how to pay for it.

I never said their was one but, probably the same as Bush's plan oh how we'll pay for Iraq. Tell everyone the policy will pay for itself.

I don't support the massive debt being racked up by just about *ALL* the Democrats right now. But, I didn't agree with the debt being racked up by the Republicans during their last reign either.

that's the question that everyone should be asking Buck...there is nothing being done to spur the economy, this is a willful destruction of the American economy, they will continue to smile at you and tell you things are getting better as everything collapses....higher taxes, more regulation, more dependence on government and greater government control of the private sector and your life ....this is now the playland of the radical left....good luck everyone...don't think that they haven't factored amnesty into the mid term calculus.....
