In related news, Hillary is deeply saddened, since she just demonstrated how out of touch with reality she is:

Modern day conservatism means celebrating 250 billion dollar budget deficits.

Who woulda thunk it. Cutting taxes has only worked every time it has been done, but each and every time the sages are surprised. Unfrigging real.

No, Modern day conservatism means celebrating the fact that tax cuts work.

You must be a real stick in the mud to not be happy about a reduction in the deficit of 23.2% in 1 year.

And you propose what? Cutting 250 billion from the miltary, education and other such programs?

Sorry but even conservatives must deal with the hand they are given.. a sagging economy.. two wars... and security to be upgraded.


I guess the choice is to spend more and cut taxes.. spurring the economy in two ways.. more gov't spending and also more spending by consumers by putting more money in their hands.

The budget will right itself and everything will be fine.

>>>Modern day conservatism means celebrating 250 billion dollar budget deficits.

Sad isn't it. Revenues are finally back to where they were in 2001, of course spending has increased considerably.

Fiscal 2005 YTD Receipts 1,369,366
Fiscal 2001 YTD Receipts 1,378,023

Fiscal 2005 YTD Outlays 1,641,597
Fiscal 2001 YTD Outlays 1,240,939

I'm a stick in the mud when a one year budget deficit is 250 BILLION dollars. Glad to see someone is impressed. I'm not.

Modern day conservatism means being a supply side Keynesian. Have your cake and eat it, too! Don't worry! Your grandkids will pay the bill.
