LOL!!!!! America's huge trade deficit... America's $38 trillion debt... its $54 trillion "funding gap," (the present value of the difference between what the federal government is already committed to pay out and what it will receive in tax revenues). We have lived through Republican administrations and Democratic ones... through conservatives and liberals - and never have we noticed much change. Instead, what always mattered was what was going on in our private lives - not what was happening in Washington. Besides, once elected politicians often do the exact opposite of what they promised to do anyway. George Bush was elected as a "conservative" with a "humble" foreign policy. What a disappointment when he turned out to be the most radical president since Franklin Roosevelt. But the voters like him. And why shouldn't they? His neo-con advisors have given us a jolly good war. We are told we are kicking the enemy's butt... and, at the very same time, the enemy is said to be a bigger threat than ever before! Therefore, we must spend more money... and launch new campaigns... and kick his butt even more! Did you ever have such a splendid war, dear reader? The more we win, the less safe we are. No one dares suggest that by kicking fewer butts, there might be fewer people who wanted to kick ours. That's the sort of reflection that would get a candidate branded as "weak," which is to say, the kind of comment that would take real strength to make. --- Dailyreckoning.com
