"Just out of curiosity, Maria S., can you tell me specifically how GWB's so-called irresponsible federal spending has caused you or your family any harm?"
Once again, I just posted this article to annoy the crap out of those much smarter than I. And that's why I try to always add "just my opinion; counts for nothing."
Personally, GWB's "so-called..." spending has not affected me/my family at all. We have enough money to meet our needs and last us for many years, understand the need for putting money aside for a rainy day (probably a bad saying during these hurricanes!), and we're just pretty darned cheerful about things right now.
Sorry if I misunderstood your post.
My point is that for all the griping about federal budgets, I have yet to find anyone who can credibly tell me how the federal deficit has harmed them or their family in any way.
I suppose one could claim that interest rates are somehow affected, but with rates climbing just above 3 percent, that argument is pretty weak.
Bottom line: deficits are not the be-all or end-all of economic prosperity that many claim, and it really gets my gaul when people continue to bash President Bush ad naseum for "big gub'mnt, big gub'mnt" when I dont even know what that means, and I don't think anyone else does either.
