.and advocating additional expenses in defense, even beyond those requested by the military itself, is insane. Actually running a deficit of a trillion every year is worse - didn't dumbo say he would cut the deficit in half and he doubled it and has no plan to slow things down. You actually have to run a surplus to even make headway on the debt. dumbo has no plan to grow the economy which largely runs on cheap energy, everything he does tends to increase energy costs and drive jobs overseas. The only thing he has increased is food stamps and unemployment - and free dumbo phones to the masses of people who have never paid their fair share.

but it stops working or making any sense at some point in the cost/revenue equation.... What does that mean? The basic precepts of behavioral science stop working when the rich get too rich? Can you enlighten me on just how that happens? Are you under the mistaken impression that the wealthy being wealthy somehow prevents the poor from being better off than they otherwise would have been?
