Ron Paul For President in 2008

[Final-Fan]

Look, you can't just say stuff that's completely false if you want to remain credible. The only fiscal responsibility practiced in the '90s was done by the Democrats. Their Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 was instrumental to balancing the budget. They rammed it down the throats of Republicans, every last one of whom voted against the bill in stunning solidarity in both the House and Senate.

I agree that spending is a problem -- a big problem -- but cutting taxes never causes a commensurate reduction in spending. Look at the past seven years. And the Reagan years. Can you name even one era of American history in which cutting taxes led directly (in a cause-effect relationship) to a subsequent decrease in spending?

[P.S. "For your little scenario, I'm guessing you want to assume that spending will always be the same regardless of whether we tax too little or too much. I don't buy it."

[I guess what I'm trying to get across is that for decades now spending has been independent of tax revenue. I don't need to assume -- it's right there in the history books in the Current Events section. That being the case, I would rather not continue to send the country massively into debt.]
