For every Barney Franks you have two Phil Gramms IMHO. While the Dems are spending it poorly and running up costs with idiotic nonsense like “Crap and Played”, the GOP is busily cutting taxes while not addressing spending, or leaving the wealthy classes free to loot the heck out of America.
parsy, who used to be a Republican but repented
Yes, they cut taxes to take us out of recession, as opposed to lining their supporters pockets with billions as in Porkulus. Cutting taxes worked, porkulus didn't.
For the four years Republicans and GWB had control, the Democrats are the ones that submarined any budget cuts. Just google "George Bush budget cuts". He proposed some every year, and the Congress could not deliver because of Dems.
leaving the wealthy classes free to loot the heck out of America.
That is simply playing the class envy card. Anyone in the US under the right circumstances can become a member of the "wealthy classes".
