This is from the people that go into massive credit card debt and then whine for government to make laws to bail them out.

1. The only time deficit spending come in the conversation is when conservonuts
   
want an excuse to kill spending to those at the bottom when it comes to tax give a ways to billionaires then deficits don't matter. What Dem's know is by giving the bottom it will be spent thus reducing the deficit because tax revenue increases as more people spend which in turn create jobs because demand goes up. The problem is conservonuts think that spending alone causes deficit's where tax cuts to the wealthy with spending cuts to the people, remember conservonuts increased spending to military and private sector corporations which caused the current deficit, nit wits.

Tax cuts are not spending, they are a means to let people keep the money they earned.

Hey DUmmies, look at the problems in the socialist countries in Europe.  Hell, even some of those countries are telling Lord Zero to rein in his spending.

Hardly surprising for a group with so few who pay any net income taxes.

Would some DUmp economist explain to us how this happens?

They like to bring this up.  It ignores the possibility that wealthy people like to spend money, too.  I'd expand on this, but I gotta go.  See everyone tommorrow.

What they also fail to mention is that their drug dealers don't pay taxes.

Unless I am missing something,taxes are a percent of income so if you gave me a million dollars and told me to spend it all only a portion of it would return in taxes.
They seem to think that priming the pump by pouring water into a dry hole will create a well.

The DUmmies also believe that there is an unending supply of rich people to keep raising taxes on.

They whine about Bush's economic policies, his spending, the deficits, and debt built up under him, yet conveniently forget that Obama's policies are just Bush's on steroids.

The other one I like is, when dummies say tax cuts are theft by the rich. How is keeping your own money theft?

Because in the purple world they live in if you don't hand them money for the pleasure of their being then you're stealing from them.

The last budget Bush did before the Dimrat takeover of Congress was FY2007....
The deficit that year was 126 BILLION dollars....

So far, Lord Zero has spent us into a 1 TRILLION dollar hole, and there is 2 1/2 months left in the year....

For a real good time, just wait until Jan. 1, 2011, when the "evil Bush tax cuts" expire....
