>The usual D is good, R is bad gets old. Which is not the way I believe... Conservative is (usually bad), liberal is (more often) good. When there were actual liberal Republicans, I'd have supported them. But they've barely existed in my lifetime. The last one I knew personally changed parties in 2005. > When Krugman said "the US isn't broke, because we can still borrow money", that was nothing more than showing he is a democrat. No, that's showing that he's right. Because he is. Forget the dumb household analogies -- though if you have credit card debt you're not necessarily broke -- we can borrow money at 0 percent or better. Countries have faith in our money. We're not broke at all. Even if you like the household analogies, well, households are made up of people who live for 70-80 years and they can have 30 year mortgages. Most of this country believe is will last forever, so why couldn't it have debt for a couple of centuries? >Well, the democrats have been running this country since January 2007, and it shows. The worst part is, the republicans, except for the TeaParty, is helping them. No, they're just only stonewalling them 98% of the time instead of 100%. -Z
