The promotion of expensive social agendas over the success of the economy can only lead to a very sad state of affairs and the ultimate rejections of the social issues or a third world economy. The third world economy always pays lip service to economic reforms and unrealistic and unrealized social goals. Nothing good can come of this experiment at such trying economic times. A poor economy can only lead to less political leverage on the world stage and even greater fall from grace. Funny how the liberal government with all their grand alleged virtues could end up with their only leverage being the possession of many bombs.

The only solution is to have the GUTS to BAN deficits. To implement STRUCTURAL REFORMS to ELIMINATE the politicians' (from whatever political Party they hail from) ability to load debt on the backs of future generations. But you are not willing to DO THAT, are you Bill? (That's because you prefer to TALK about 'how bad the spending is' but you run for the hills from the structural solutions... you are not willing to give up your deficit-spending ways.) I, on the other hand, am more then prepared to regulate President Obama's ability to deficit spend (through PAYGO budget rules, Balanced Budget Amendment, etc.), to 'tie his hands' --- and to tie ROMNEY'S hands, Palin's hands, should they ever find themselves in that position of power... to tie ANY AND ALL politicians from WHATEVER PARTY they may hail from.... That is the fiscally conservative action to take. But you aren't willing to do that, are you? You aren't willing though to FORCE balanced budgets, despite the fact that BOTH PARTIES have chronically added to these deficits for decades now you continue to only grouse about the over-spending HALF of the time.... Which is what GUARANTEES that it NEVER STOPS.
