Yes I agree infrastructure provides benefits to future generations but there's no point in deficit spending unless it is necessary, deficits of the 2000's weren't really necessary. Some of them perhaps were but most were not.

The tax could potentially hurt the economy some, but thats why politicians MUST consider the consequences of their actions. The theory is that military spending would outweigh the drop in aggregate demand and should therefore be a net wash to the economy as a whole, since most defense spending is spent here on manufacture and R&D of weapons and systems.

But yea the tax would have some negative consequences, thats part of having a tax, and another factor in politicians decisions to use our military might, which they use far too freely right now.
 
what he would or would not have done is purely speculation

however the joke about plain is laughable since she would have been doing the same things biden does
 
We need state/local/federal governments to become more efficient and spend less. The only way that happens is to have some pain right now and to fix our problems. The answer can't simply be to raise taxes or the debt ceiling to avoid making real decisions.
 
Romney makes no excuses for Romney care. He tells it like it is, keep in mind the state legislature over rode his veto on a couple aspects of the bill, additionally, he freely admits to some mistakes made in the implementation process. But MOST importantly, state and federal governments are not the same, he understands and embraces the concept of federalism, something too few conservatives and liberals embrace today.
 
Another thing I wish republicans would figure out is government's job in many cases is oversight, that requires expertise which requires paying a government worker what they're actually worth instead of some arbitrary number.
 
this is why arguing about politics is a waste of time. you respond with this horseshit

all fucking accusations and calling him socialist, faggot, etc.
 
So things are going pretty well for Obama. Huge financial crisis, massive unemployment, the largest ecological disaster the country has ever seen, and approval ratings that are starting to look like Bush's.


GREAT SUCCESS.
 
So you guess that McCain was lying.
But we KNOW FOR A FACT that Obama fails to keep promises.


Care to address the fact that it's not inheritance if you sit there and spend millions on millions to obtain something?
