re: #305 RogueOne

If we could take all the fiscal conservatives from the dems and the repubs we might just have a chance. Let the wings fight amongst themselves about the stupid shit.

I would agree, but I’d rather take the pragmatists from both parties. The fiscons can be just as dogmatic as the socons. Unless of course you mean fiscal conservative back when it meant balance the books and raise taxes when necessary, as opposed to never raise taxes ever and always cut spending. Those folks are just as delusional as the spendthrifts.

I don’t have a problem with government spending as long as it’s for things that pay off in the long run. That’s something government should do. Fund research and development, pay for infrastructure improvements, etc. that may not pay off for decades, but which will enhance and benefit the population as a whole.
