This is interesting, based on the discussion here. Some dems are saying they want to restrain spending:

Well of course they do...on our side of the aisle.

"Raising taxes would certainly be an option," Conrad said in an interview. "The president, this is his policy. He's got an obligation to pay for it."

I Recall Democrats(Marxists) growing the government every year for the 40 years Democrats controlled congress.

I recall Democrats obstructing Bush's and Republican efforts to privatize schools with private school vouchers. Government schools is one of the 10 goals of "the Communist Manifesto" which Democrats wholeheartedly support.


I recall Democrats in congress obstructing Bush's and Republican efforts to privatize social security. But the liberal media says the GOP is the party of big government.

A majority of Democrats also want to turn over 15% of our private economy , health-care, over to government control. If Republicans were the "big government" villains the liberal media paints them out to be then why haven't a majority of Republicans including Bush pushed for government health-care?
Government health-care is socialism. Socialism doesn't work and leads to total loss of freedom and economic failure. Read "the Road to Serfdom" by Hayek.

Overall spending as a percentage of GDP is actually average for the last 40 years and LOW for a time of war. Compare to world war 2. And as I showed Democrats in congress obstructed a lot of what Republicans tried to do including social security privatization.

Is every Republican perfect ? NO. the RINOS need to be kicked out and the party needs some reform but the alternative, the Democrat party (socialism) is every freedom lover's worst nightmare come true.
