Its not time to start talking deficits when we haven't fully recovered - tejek

Finally, you admit that we have not recovered after almost 4 years of Obama's and Bernanke's Keynesian policies and lack of prosecution of bankster criminals. Unlike you, I don't want another 4 years of doing the same things and hoping for a different result. Keynesianism and ignoring the rule of law does not work. It didn't work in Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and every other socialist/communist country on earth and it won't work here. You can't print or spend your way to prosperity. Prosperity comes from savings and investment, not from spending and printing. That is one of the very core and fundamental differences between fiscal conservatives and Democrats.

Fiscal conservatives => savings, balanced budgets, and investment lead to prosperity
Democrat Fiscal/Monetary Liberals => spending, deficits, and printing lead to prosperity

I've always been a fiscal conservative and have made no bones about that, even when I was for Obama and voted for him. I thought Obama was more of a moderate in this area like Clinton, but Obama turns out to be a full fledged liberal when it comes to economic policies. I wish to God I'd voted for Hillary instead. The Clintons were fiscal conservatives, but social liberals, just like me.
