The Spanky Thesis
 

I never said that. I just said that 70% is not a big problem. But clearly there is a level that will completely crowd out private investment.

The focus should be on the deficits. And your comment "Provided we have constant economic growth" is the clincher. Any time we have deficits that are so high that they are crowding out economic growth we are screwing future generations. So when the economy is growing you should not run deficits because a growing economy needs fuel for its growth and deficits suck up that same fuel.

Bush II did the right thing by bringing growth back, now we need to see if he can get the budget in balance during the growth phase. If we don't we will be screwing future generations, not by saddling them with debt, but by not growing the economy as much as we could of.

The jury is still out on what will happen, and it really comes down to the Congress. And Congresses recent track record on controlling spending has not been that great. But if the economy continues to grow and the deficits are not brought down then future generations have the right to come back in time and kill us.

For the umpteenth time, you are not arguing that our government is not sticking future generations with debt. You are arguing that the future generations will be able to afford it.

And exactly what have future generations ever done for us?

Fuck that- closer to home- do you deny that you and spanky and your toadies have ruined this board for future newbers? Ty you must realize this board is useless.

This is why we see you on this Judged board, isn't it?

The "next big thing"
 

Is this where everyone is heading next?

It's not that the GOP is out to screw the poor. It's that they're out to help their (rich) supporters. Screwing the poor is the by-product of their political power, not the end.

Meanwhile, you are delusional if you think the GOP is trying to shrink government. They are not doing any such thing.

I'm sorry, but the DeLay/Abramoff/K St. Project thing goes far beyond what the Democrats ever did. If you think otherwise, you're not paying attention. The GOP has redefined political whoredom.

You can stop right there, because I haven't advocated any "cure." Like any real conservative, I'm not a fan of deficit spending. I don't think we should be borrowing to fund tax cuts, especially not tax cuts for the wealthiest. Relative to where we were, it's robbing the lower and middle classes to help the rich.

worse then selling military secrets and rocket technology to the Chinese? you really think so? btw that was rhetorical and I know you don't see why clinton selling technology was much worse- that's also why you don't see why your party is dead.

plus- isn't this on both sides?

The so called "experts".
 

Oh, shut it, Hank. I was going to go with a "agree/disagree/whatever" response to Ty's three-parter, but you are just ridiculous. Quit it.

If Clinton had sold military secrets and rocket technology to the Chinese, that would have been bad.

Since Bush got elected these guys have accused the Reps of some incredible shit, and none of it ever sticks. This is already clearly a two-party scandal yet ty tries to leave it at the Rs door. fine. if he's right we started a war to increase our oil profits and we lied to do it, so this new scandal ain't shit anyway.


But I will folllow your wishes fringey I'm going to leave this board to its "high quality" its enjoyed these last few days. Bunch of subnormals arguing with Spanky. Enjoy!

The so called "experts".
 

I didn't mean stop posting. And Spanky's weird debt/deficit thing is definitely the product of brainwashing or warped thinking or something. It's just surreally bizarre.

The so called "experts".
 

shit. i thought it was "is" where Bill had that strained definition- it was "if?"

The so called "experts".
 

No. For the umpteenth time I am not saying "future generations will be able to afford it" I am saying they will never have to pay it back. Yes we leave them with some debt but if they don't have to pay it back are we really leaving them anything?

The so called "experts".
 

You'd think that it wouldn't be hard to make an accusation of deficit spending stick, but with you guys always leaping to the defense of Bush, darned if you're not right. He could blow an intern and lie about it under oath, and you'd find some reason to say that we're undermining the war on terrorism and by the way Clinton was worse.
