The Deficit

Bean,

Well said: "The time is long since past when it was acceptable to criticize the squandering of billions without naming programs."

Also, didn't BHO say that we'd have $trillion+ deficits for "years to come," or "the foreseeable future," or words to that effect?

Good post.

Say It Ain`t So!

Hi, Bean! It has been said before and is worth saying again .... We can`t spend our way out of this hole! Years and years to come. Also, watching amabO at his pressers, God help us all! ....

First rule of holes

Dawn,

Right you are. As Hugh Hewitt always says, the first rule of holes is, when you're in one, quit digging.

Fat chance that'll happen any time soon. Unfortunately.

Hank

Why is it that when our country is in a hole, that the government only wants to make it bigger?

If I were cynical, I would say that government is benefited by economic crisis because the state is allowed to expand to pretend it's filling the hole.

I would say that if I were cynical.

Maybe it's true anyway.
