I wouldn't have a problem with this if "fiscal conservatives" were man enough to raise taxes when times are good. If you can't spend your way out of recession, then you also can't cut your way into profitability. Any good corporation knows that if you are in debt, you increase your revenue. If "fiscal conservatives" had raised taxes while the economy was good so that we weren't running deficits during good economic years, then I would listen to what they have to say with a kinder ear. A true fiscal conservative is not scared to raise taxes. |
I would like to add the ignoring Keynesian economics when times are good and then trumping it up and going overboard when times are bad doesn't help any.
