Surely you understand the one sided nature of the media on this matter & realize the dems who insist no spending ever be cut are never tarred as extremists? The dems are saying - spend more money or else we will crash the economy, just as much as the repubs were saying - cut spending or we will crash the economy.
& the dems always win, cause deficit spending does not hurt today. instead it will hurt the 20 somethings who will pay the tab for their parents reckless spending.

Look I'm a "realist" I don't subscribe to a all left mentality nor do I subscribe to a all right mentality. I look at what both sides have done and that leads me to have to side with the left just about all the time.
The right does NOT cut the overall spending. I don't know why people are still brainwashed into believing this bullshit. The right is like a broken record.. They are always for cutting social programs but then turn around and give that money to big business or military spending. They never reduce our deficit.
Reagan, Bush 1 & 2.. did not cut spending, they greatly increased it and put us further in the hole.
This is where realism keys in for me. I look at it as a very simple choice. I'm paying taxes no matter what.. I have a choice to vote for guys that spend like crazy and don't do shit for me.. or vote for guys that spend like crazy and I get something from my tax dollars rather than having it all redistributed to big business.
Seems like a easy choice to make to me.. Also I'm very much against the whole Religion thing being involved in our govt, which puts another strike against the right.
