I'm asking you whether government is efficiently spending the money they have right now.

No. Absolutely not. Bush and his Republican friends have squandered our tax money on a war we never should have fought, tax subsidies to oil companies making record profits, and on a 64% increase in pork spending since he took office. No. They are wasting our tax money.

OK, keep pretending that American households can simply raise their own salaries to pay for their profligate spending.

I never said that. My whole point is that households can't spend more than they earn forever. Eventually, the credit markets cut them off and they go bankrupt. Our government is well on its way to that right now, due to Bush's profligate spending.

And keep pretending that this is "fiscal conservatism."

I never said that either. I have merely repeated multiple times that our government should not spend money it does not have. It's fiscally irresponsible.

It's no wonder ABBers like you can't be taken seriously.

The real wonder is why folks like you refuse to see that cutting taxes and increasing spending is ten times worse than paying for increased spending with tax increases or cuts to spending elsewhere. To me it's basic fiscal responsibility. Until Republicans get back to fiscal responsibility, they won't return to power. Too many of us old guard Republicans will refuse to vote for fiscal charlatans like Bush Jr again. $3.1 Trillion budget. Just what is he trying to pull? He has no shame and is plainly trying to get one last payoff for his military and oil buddies before he rides off into the sunset of the worst administration in the history of the US.
