I'm a longtime deficit hawk who turned away from the Republican Party when Dick Cheney said "Deficits don't matter." I think the issue with America right now is that all major lending institutions and businesses have money. Lots of it. The Wall Street Journal has even documented this. That means supply is not the issue, so we need to increase demand. The only way to do that is to spend. Now we have no money. Why? Because in times of plenty we refused to pay for what we had. I don't think anyone would say the Bush Administration was a time of massive extravagance, but we refused to pay the two wars we had, as well as end the stimulative tax decreases we got to stop the recession of 2000-2001. I was going to put a story about Bill Clinton in here, but realistically the problem isn't that everyone wants to cut this, that, or the other from government. The problem is that no one wants to pay for all the things they do get.P Dubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835598944311870585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218850729105109831.post-88661797098032959062011-02-16T18:18:28.443-08:002011-02-16T18:18:28.443-08:00I'd really like to see some sort of movement t...I'd really like to see some sort of movement to address these spending issues.
