Vote for McCain and you have a continuation of Bush policies and increasing, unsustainable debt levels. This is a certainty.
McCain is one of the few Senators with a credible trackrecord against earmarks and runaway spending. He's a fiscal conservative.
Vote for Obama and you have the POSSIBILITY of reversing the coming debt spiral
Obama has no track record except to vote the liberal party line. Since when does the liberal party line - now promising universal free health care for everybody and free college scholarships and who knows what else - have anything to do with control of spending? I mean, anything?
Unless you are thinking in pure Keynsian terms that the government is going to stimulate its way out by borrowing and spending more hundreds of billions of dollars?
But ending the war and raising taxes on the rich will bring in huge amounts of revenues. It's a fact. Get used to it.
It's not a fact. First, it hasn't happened. Second, the Laffer curve, which has actually happened, is a fact, and you're still denying its existence. You think raising taxes on "the rich" (notice how he never defines "rich", cause it's going to be anyone who makes more than $50,000 a year) will raise revenue. I think it will rerun the stagflation of the 1970s.
I have history on my side. You have pure wish fulfillment.
Oh, btw the way, cutting and running from Iraq and throwing all the gains there into the garbage is not going to be cost free. If we do that, we will have to return under worse circumstances later because if we want to keep the global economy functioning at all we cannot let religious fanatics shut down the Persian gulf and stop the flow of oil. But then Obama knows nothing about foreign policy except what Jimmy Carter's retreads are telling him. And weren't they such a success?
Are you old enough to remember what happened to the Carter Presidency when it hit Washington, full of hope and promises of change? And Jimmy Carter had at least been a governor! |
