Dude! Are those really elephants on the wall, posing as fiscal conservatives? If the RNC hit the degauss button, that must explain why all of a sudden they think spending should be kept tight.

As for the higher taxes, I have a question. If we keep taxes low but go on spending, where does the money come from? Don’t we have to raise taxes or else raise the debt ceiling? Democrats raise taxes, and Republicans put it on plastic. Where were the evil eyes of elephants spending three trillion dollars (projected) on Iraq?

I teach Latin, Bob, so I like the Trojan pig motif. You’ve drawn the domestic pig; the military pig came in on the other side of Troy six years ago, drawn by elephants.

Obama has unveiled his ultimate spending, we ain't seen nothing yet. Say hello to socialism.

That line of thinking just tries to avert the topic IMO. It is true that the GOP abandoned one of the tenets of the party when they gained power: reducing government spending. Instead they became a party of populists. Does this mean that no one can complain about the exorbitant spending going on right now?

I agree that you can't lower taxes and increase spending at the same time. I've got an idea: lets lower taxes and spending!

Maybe the GOP will wake up and become more fiscally conservative again. Actually, they probably will until they gain power again, then they'll just become a bunch of populists again...

Right on. The Republicans have lost their power because they have lost their conservative principles. Policy wise there was little difference between Obama and McCain on many fronts. Now it's liberalism on display and at least we can point to the Democrats for all it's failings.

You guys see this morning that AIG is getting 'another' 30 billion in stimulus. They posted a record 60 plus billion loss last quarter.

So I guess as more and more companies that received the money continue to report losses we will see this stimulus in all it's glory is just a stay of execution on our economy. Stimulus packages haven't worked in other countries before, they won't work here now. Another 30 billion, gimme a break. All this spending is just going to make unthinkable for us later.

Just the fact that government has gone this road is bad enough but when it's obvious that it's all wasted it just makes it that more insane.

Yeah, more money after they reported a $60 billion dollar quarterly loss. Wow!!! That money is just blowing in the wind. One of the govs ideas is to reduce the interest that AIG has to pay on the loans. How about someone reduces the interest on the loans and credit cards of the tax payers, to help stimulate the economy? :2thumbs:

What really needs to happen is no stimulus and for us to implode retract our global missions, bring jobs back home secure our borders and do some protectionism and cut government spending and scale public sector (paid) jobs back to a managable level. We are delaying the inevitable so we just need to get it done with so we can move on.
