So lets see, we cant raise income and business taxes because they suppress activity, and we cant raise sin taxes because they are punitive (even though by rule # 1 they suppress the sin) BUT we can spend lots of money on everything, on top of social spending, war , nation rebuilding, homeland security, etc. If we can never raise taxes on anything then GWB/republicans had no business even passing a budget,.
You buy into the libs’ rationale that they’re entitled to spend on every freaking program that strikes em. I don’t.
Only liberals think it’s a choice between raise taxes and keep spending, or don’t raise taxes and keep spending—and yes, that includes people with putative R’s after their names who vote for that crap. They’re de facto liberals by virtue of the votes they cast.
You’re trying to justify the out of control gov’t spending with the tired whine that “George Bush did it.” Yeah, he did, and it was wrong-headed then, too. Conservatives are sick about it, and sick and tired of it, no matter who does it.
I notice you ignored the constitutional aspect in favor of the straw man argument.
