Hey, I disagree with Obama. And I disagreed with the phoney fiscal conservative Bush.

The debt is outrageous, and the long term ramifications are enormously troubling. Obama has overstepped.

But when we spent a trillion of off-budget money on foreign adventures without a single tax dollar increase to support it, where were all the fiscal conservatives on the right? The first trillion dollar deficit budget was Bush's....and Paulson's.

Plenty of blame to go around. Plenty...

But McConnel and Boehner have no standing whatsoever to talk about spending or fiscal conservatism. Its a joke to still see them in leadership positions, wringing their hands.

Balanced budget amendment now! Let the chips fall.

I already answered you on that, the first time you asked it, Bill... do you want me to repeat my earlier answer, or have you some SPECIFIC POLICY to ask about?

PS --- (I don't see any disagreements from you about my characterization of your policy choices over the last ten Trillion of deficit accumulation... your lack of vocal support for PAYGO, or the Balanced Budget Amendment, or any other STRUCTURAL FIX to our nation's chronic deficit spending, fixes that would BIND BOTH BIG-SPENDING PARTIES' HANDS. So, I take it that there is no denial there.....)
