"And democrats say republicans are running up a debt, all those programs you mentioned cost money, some of them massive amounts. I take it you think rolling back the tax cuts will fund that, but accoring to economics it wont... but at least you have some ideas...soo nice post."



You can not simply dismiss the well crafted post above by just saying it would cost money. Sure it would, and we probably would be running in the red, but there is one important thing that these liberal policies has going for them.

the money we spend now is an investment in the future.

Improved energy efficiency is a MUST, if you look at the headlines many otherwise successful companies are hurting because of increased fuel costs. A substantial investment in clean energy now could save a lot of money down the the road. With healthcare and education spending money now will also pay dividents in the future.

With a war and tax cuts, the money sort of vanishes. With tax cuts less so, but the point still stands. When the government spends massive amounts of money on borrowed credit with no significant returns we are going to be hurting in the future.

Lets just face it: a war is -EV and that social spending is +EV.
