The Democrats need to prove that their numbers add up. Promising things like: "Create a New $7,000 Tax Credit for Purchasing Advanced Vehicles," and "Create Millions of New Green Jobs" and "Weatherize One Million Homes Annually" can't be done for free. They also promise: "Put 1 million Plug-In Hybrid cars -- cars that can get up to 150 miles per gallon -- on the road by 2015," and "Provide $50 billion to Jumpstart the Economy and Prevent 1 Million Americans from Losing Their Jobs," and this is before we even mention how he would fix health care and pay for that.
I am afraid of a tax and spend administration. I want to see fiscal responsibility from the next administration. I am afraid the Democrats are promising far more than they can deliver and just saying what people want to hear.
Interesting. Why are you afraid of a tax & spend administration? I'm not. I am afraid of a tax & borrow administration, which is what we have now.

I don't run up debt I can't pay and I don't think the government should either.
Not all debt is bad. Do you have a mortgage? Did you borrow money for college? This is debt that leads us to a better tomorrow.
If the government is going to spend money we don't have, I prefer it be spent on things that will improve society as a whole - something that can pay dividends in the future. The war in Iraq certainly hasn't improved anything, anywhere. But it is costing a lot of money that we don't have. And I think it will result in nothing but problems in the future.
