>>If she can keep the spending under control then it's cheaper to pay off the credit cards every month
OK, so with a republican president, house and senate, should be easy to keep spending under control them right? So why are we still borrowing to pay for stuff we want now?...the answer is, the republicans never had any intentions on "shrinking the size of government"...it was just a way to get elected.
>>let the credit cards stay maxed out and pay the interest on the cards.
Only difference is that there is no credit limit on the governments credit cards...they just keep on spending and plan on letting some future generation be saddled with outrageous interest and principal payments...a pretty selfish state of affairs...brought to you by democrats and republicans equally to blame.

there is no credit limit on the governments credit cards The California socialists have found out there is a limit. The state's credit score is now just above a junk bond rating. New socialist spending has become too painful and expensive. Democrat controlled spending is finally slowing down, though two years late.
I agree the Republicans haven't been cutting spending and are not conservatives. What I think has happened is the Republican Party has moved to the left to the point that it is now the populist party. The Democrats have been forced further to the left to differentiate themselves and have become outright red socialists. At some point a new party will appear on the right, and the Democrats will fall off the map. It's been observed that as institutions age they tend to move to the left, until someday they go bankrupt.
