| scottie said: "[deficits] have little or no short-term economic impacts" - OP's quote I think that's end thread. If you're a politician who only cares about another term of re-election, then fuck the future. By the time the economy tanks some other guy will be in power and will get the blame. However, the thread title is presenting that deficits don't matter even in the long run, which is not backed up anywhere in the body of the post. |
That was Dick Cheney's quote regarding deficits. As it is now, every politician is now driven by getting reelected. Everyone kept living like it was short-term only and it kept going on and on and on.
