No, it's classical balance your budget fiscal policy. It's plain stupid to lower taxes and continue to spend.

Let's say you and your family are living on a nice income and you spend pretty much everything you earn. And you've been eyeing a new house that will cost about $1K more per month. Does it make sense to buy that house considering the fact that you can't afford it? Now what if you lost that nice job and now you earn even less money. Would you still buy that house?

Well, our government is doing just that. Bush keeps lowering taxes, which cuts into our government revenues and yet he keeps spending more money on military, on Iraq, on oil subsidies, and on pork. Pork alone rose 64% during his administration.

My point is that if the American people vote that they want a bigger military, war in Iraq, and more pork, then so be it. But you can't decrease taxes if that what the people want. You have to RAISE taxes to pay for things.

Ten, there is no free lunch. I'm sorry that you have been sold that bridge by Bush Jr, but that is head in the sand thinking. That is just a fast track to bankruptcy and another Great Depression. Bush has already increased on our national debt from $5 trillion to $9 trillion in 7 years. How much further do you want to take his policies of fiscal irresponsibility?

It is unRepublican and unpatriotic to do what he is doing.
