Only difference between 'tax and spend' and 'borrow and spend' is that borrow-and-spend costs even more because there is interest charged on the borrowing.... That, and it PASSES THE SPENDING'S COST on to future generations... instead of 'manning up' and handling the bills now....

Buddy is wrong. What is needed is for voters to do what is right and to no longer be partisans who are nothing more than pimps.

"many analysts say the differences between factions have never been quite so pronounced nor public as in the past few days. Former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, once a close Khamenei ally who helped him become supreme leader, sent an open letter to him in the days before the election warning that any fraud would backfire, Mr. Milani noted. If he allowed the military to ignore the public will and to destroy senior revolutionary veterans, the decision would haunt him, Mr. Rafsanjani warned: “Tomorrow it is going to be you.” Everyone speaking of Ayatollah Khamenei tends to use the word “cautious,” a man who never gambles. But he now faces a nearly impossible choice. If he lets the demonstrations swell, it could well change the system of clerical rule. If he uses violence to stamp them out, the myth of a popular mandate for the Islamic revolution will die. “The Iranian leadership is caught in a paradox,” said Ms. Nafisi, the author of memoirs about Iran.
