Wonder if he’ll run the federal government the same way?
One day interest rates will return to normal levels and what will that do to the budget? If we continue to spend so much as a country, one day in the not too distant future investors will lose faith in buying our debt like they have with Greek debt. The folks in Greece are not just rioting because they want their free goodies. They are also rioting because their economy is going down the tubes. Unemployment is up and tons of businesses have failed in the last year. They are screwed. At the moment we are not. We don’t have to follow their path. But I’m not very optimistic things will change no matter who gets elected. We will always have to deal with the moderates in the party who collude with democrats. Remember the Gang of Six?
If the next republican president runs the federal government in a similar fashion to GW, conservatives need to leave the party. Then fight it out for dominance as the main contender to the Democratic party and be done with those pragmatic losers once and for all.
Sure he would, that’s how he ran Bain Capital. They borrowed a bunch of money on companies that later went bankrupt, but thanks to Wall Street “ethics” they got to keep the money. If his business career was based on spending more money than he actually earned and he was successful doing it, why would he change now?
