[quote PeterB]Grateful, as I was watching the 'Pubs debate tonight, I wondered about why -- amongst all this debate -- there was no mention of the federal deficit, and what they intend to do about it... an issue (fiscal responsibility) that supposedly the GOP calls their own. We currently stand at ... hmmm, best graph I've been able to find so far:
Here's a another graph and some more information on the economy.
1. President does not spend money. Congress does, and the rebuilding of the military and the war have required heavy spending. Clinton cut manpower in the military manpower 40% in a time of chaos.
2. The Republicans represent fiscal responsibility and the Dems represent big government like the promised funding above which carries an expensive price tag. Universal Health Care and bigger Government will plummet us into the recession that will be blamed on this President if the Democrats prevail.
3. My latest favorite graph demonstrates the promised by all Dem Candidates, punishment of the rich, er Tax increases is likely going to cut tax revenues. Also seems to coincide with the steep reduction of the deficit in the the past few years as Peter B's shows. Yes folks the dreaded Voodoo Economics.
