The phrase fiscal conservative in the mouth of a statist like you merely means you prefer taxing over borrowing as a means of financing as much spending as you can get away with.

In the broader view, the choice of financing hardly matters. ITSS - It's the spending stupid.

What were you saying about Clinton paying down the national debt?
Better get some one other than Gore to write your post.

The national debt has increased at an average rate of

$6,203.49 per second, or

$536.0 Million per day, or

$ 1 Billion every 44 hours and 47 minutes.
