Lower taxes and massive increases in expenditure means debt. Are you dimly aware of that ?

Are you dimly aware that debt levels this nation is carrying on every level are not sustainable and at some point we will have 70s style double digit inflation ? This nation is in hock up to its eyeballs and hopelessly dependent on borrowed capital and you think this is wise policy ?

I apologize for having assumed that you knew some history or economics instead of just a head full of stump slogans.

You sound like a 1960s keysenian...lower taxes mean more revenue, not less.

Your ignorance of economics is astounding. Debt does not equal debt. Japan has a debt/GDP ratio over 100% yet has syfferred through 15 years of deflation.

There is no relation between deficits and inflation

Are you aware that if one throws out increased military and security expeditures since 9/11 that we get a nearly balanced budget. That the way it was handled back in the '90s. Raises in all government programs; cuts in the military budget.

you obviously have no clue what so ever what caused inflation in the 1970s and why it is impossible for it to happen again.
