Ya think? Please identify what I have written here that is factually
incorrect and prove it to be so.

"fiscal responsibility has not been associated with Democrats for a very
long time."

I associate fiscal responsibility with Democrats. QED.

No, the other ones.

Anyway, that's not what I want to debate. Steve asked what he said
that was factually wrong and proof that it was so. That I might be
wrong (I'm not) is a different issue.

There are no other ones.

In recent history, fiscal irresponsibility, profligatr spending and tax
cuts paid out of deficit financing have been the hallmark of Republicans.
From Reagan to Bush II.


Tax cuts are not "paid", they generate revenue.

I disagree. They are paid out of deficit financing in the sense that the money
that they have returned to the taxpayer gets spent anyway even though the
government no longer has it by means of bank borrowings. In all, that is what
is called deficit financing, and is what the Republicans used to deplore when
they didn't have control of the government. It was a terrible political sin
when the Democrats were doing it, but is now palatable since the Republicans are
the ones doing it.

When you get right down to it, "tax and spend" which Republicans used to deride,
is a lot less fiscally irresponsible than "borrow and spend", which merely
shifts the repayment burden to future generations, who weren't even around when
the spending decisions were made.

Well, then, that would make you wrong.

I'd much rather be wrong than stupid. Anyway, when did your Fuhrer tell you it
was wrong to disagree? Up to now, the right to disagree has always been the
American way, along with ice cream, baseball and motherhood.

I'm in good company as long as you keep talking.

The gent did not say it was wrong to disagree--he said if you disagreed with
his view, then your position on the issue would be wrong. Not the same
thing. And George, you do realize that dropping the Nazi card, especially
just because you don't like his remark and without any evidence that
supports the claim, makes you look like a complete and utter ass? Geeze, you
sound like Vkince (who, now that I think of it, has been very quiet since
about the time ol' Saddam got rooted out of his hole). Unless of course you
are dealing with someone who actually has a demonstrated affection for
things-Nazi, like Arndt...
