He's got a point about our obscene deficits? Why doesn't Bush have the least bit of fiscal discipline or conservative values when it comes to Big Stupid Government?
Why won't he veto a damn thing that hits his desk? He's pissing away our kids' futures.

When they criticize our "obscene deficits" they are not suggesting we limit the growth of government spending. They think we should just jack up the tax rates, especially on the rich. To them, a forty percent marginal tax rate on someone who makes 300,000 dollars a year is obscene. 60 or 70 percent would be more reasonable. If you think this is exaggeration just look at the tax rates in the EU countries.

No he doesn't.
Germany's deficit as a percentage of GDP is much higher than that of the United States.
In fact Germany and France have persistently spent over and above limits that the EU has set. Limits that Germany itself campaigned forcefully to have the EU implement.
This guy should be looking to fix the log in his eye, before trying to fix the mole in someone else's eye.
