I dont really understand where you are coming from with this.

Honestly.

If I was a congresscritter and someone proposed a bill to return to Clinton era levels of spending and taxation I would vote for it in a heartbeat.

You asked why people were resistant to handing the current crop of crooks more money. I explained it. If we could find people in either party who acted more like statesmen and less like crooks, people would feel better about trusting them with more money.

If govt cut spending to match current income, I would have no problems with then paying more taxes as surplus to pay down the debt. I dont think many people would.

I did, based on your percentages and you're deflecting.

Here are just a few examples of what most of us consider frivolous spending. You wouldn't continue to give your child money if he repeatedly demonstrates that he will waste it. You would sit him down and explain fiscal responsibility to him, and then require him to go out and earn his own money so that he will understand the value of a person's efforts. But, when its your government you're perfectly ok with them wasting money. /boggle O_o

you dont even know what a fiscal conservative is, obviously.

your attempts to pass judgement in this case fail, AGAIN.

alinsky rule #4 doesnt work any more, ya nub

"Look! What's that over there?!?!" exclaimed Sinij, "I sure hope no one noticed that I'm deflecting again."

If the details in this story are accurate, then his actions are deplorable. Having said that, this kind of dishonesty happens from both sides, all the time. If you find this behavior exceptional, given the caliber of politician we have to choose from today, then you're not paying attention.

That certainly doesn't make it acceptable, but we have to pick one, or rise up in arms. Since the later option won't be good for anyone, except the hardened criminals who have plenty of practice, I'll choose the former option for now.
