re: #78 palomino

Now, of course, surpluses are necessary. The TP says so. The current economic climate makes no difference. How much do you wanna bet these teabaggers will suddenly lose their enthusiasm for a “balanced budget now!” if the gop wins the white house in November.

Is it really the deficits they hate so much? Or is that a stand-in for who they hate.

They live under this magical thinking that says a balanced budget can be obtained by just cutting those things they disagree with, while keeping or even increasing the funding for those things they agree with, and do it all while cutting their taxes.

But not to worry, they have this nifty little clause that says “In case war happens,” where they chuck the whole balanced budget when they decide that it’s time for the latest war. No word on what happens when the war is considered to have officially ended on how we’ll cover things like demobilization costs, but I’m sure that there’s something in the social spending portion of the budget that we can cut to cover the additional cost.//
