re: You sure seem to want to raise taxes when talking about a balanced budget instead of controlling spending. Makes me think you're not conservative like you say.

What about Bush, is he not a conservative like he says? He's never vetoed a spending bill, unlike the tax and spend liberal Clinton. Bush pushed through the largest new entitlement since Johnson.

The first place to cut spending is to get the hell out of Iraq. Then you can start working on the pork. But if you don't have the fiscal discipline to decrease spending, you ought to at least have the moral courage to raise taxes to pay the bills, and not pass them on (with interest) to future generations.

Well then, since Bush has ended the recession, then we should let the tax cuts expire. Or haven't the Bush tax cuts ended the recession?

Why let them expire? How about we cut some spending instead?


Yes, lets start with defense. End the war and bring our guys home. Good recommendation.
