re: #404 darthstar

He argues he doesn’t want to add the money to the deficit. Fiscal responsibility…apparently it can be applied on an ad hoc basis.

Frankly, at this point, I don’t see why anyone would object to adding to the deficit. It’s not as if anyone seriously expects us ever to be able to pay even the interest on it.

Piss it away, piss it away, piss it away now!

(His proposal was to use some of the unspent stimulus money. Didn’t want anyone to go without benefits, but thought it might be nice to use a pool of funds that has already bloated the deficit rather than add yet another item to the tab.)
