Democrats are ironically more fiscally conservative these days than "small government" Republicans. Why? Because when GW and Reagan got into office the first thing they did was remove the revenues necessary to pay for their many programs including massive increases in defense spending including absurd boondoggles like Star Wars. They are also for much bigger corporate welfare including GW's proposed 33 billion tax breaks for Big Energy to go in and plunder our environment. In other words, we pay for the corporations who can well afford to pay for themselves. And of course there's the energy gouging and the S+L debacle, both carried out by cronies after irresponsible deregulation and complicity to manipulate world energy markets. It's why we have laws in this country, to keep the pigs form the public troughs. Also whe you remove basic social programs like the GOP wants to do, it costs us all much more in the long run. Example: preventive medicine (cheap) vs. poor person staggering into emergency room dying because he didn't get preventive medicine. So we tax-payers pay ten times as much instead of HMO's who give G-C all the soft money to minimize public health rights. Or Superfund clean-ups because toxic waste regulations were not in place or ignored like B-C are trying to push. etc. etc. And most of all, campaign finance reform, without which our political system will only grow more and more corrupt as Bush-Cheney are glaring examples of. The soft money kings. 100 million in energy soft money = 100 billion in energy gouging. Think about it. It stinks. And costs you too. Big-time.
