As the man falling pst the tenth floor said, "So far, so good." Just because the earth didn't immediately swallow the United States when the deficit hit 500 billion doesn't mean that there won't be long-term consequences. At some point taxes will have to go up to pay for this horn of plenty and that's going to hit the economy hard.

Both the Reagan and Clinton deficits were are much larger percentage of the GDP and we didn't see the results you predict.
Quite the opposite.

I guess you've forgotten the largest tax increase in history passed by Clinton and his RAT Congress in his first year in office...the one they forced through by one vote.

Guess you forgot that the RAT Congress raised taxes in RR's second term, and spent like madmen.

I guess you forgot the tax increases the RATs forced out of George HW Bush, along with a promise of spending cuts that just never materialized.

Are you trying to rewrite history?

I thought only liberals were historical revisionists...

Some people around here insist on showing their own ignorance -- they seem to pride themselves on personal attacks, but it reflects on them, not on their "targets".

Hmmm...looks pretty pertinent to me.

Course, I'm a high-school dropout.
