first you want them to complain about spending, now you want them to shut up about spending....perhaps everything would go better if you just made up your mind

I just want to see some kind of rationale behind their thought process.

1) If you are against deficit spending ALL the time, I completely understand that.

2) If you are against deficit spending in good economic times and for deficit spending in recessionary times, I completely understand that.

3) If you are for deficit spending ALL the time, I don't agree with you if you think deficits don't matter, but at least you are consistent.

4) If you are for deficit spending in good times and against deficit spending in recessionary times, you need to go back and take economics, because this option just doesn't make sense as the economic repercussions are catastrophic.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
