   Fleabagger rhetoric.  If you doubled everyones income tax, Obama is   
   still short on paying the bills as it would shut the economy down cold.   
     Pissing in lake Ontario has about the same effect as the Bush tax cuts.   
      
   What do fleabaggers not understand, $1.3 trillion in income tax with   
   $1.6 trillion overspend is?   
      
   Oh, Obama said so.  Well Obama is preying on your stupidity or Obama's   
   math skills make him utterly fleabagger stupid, take your pick.

   Paul Martin shifted services burden to the provinces and used   
   Conservative GST to top off a more balanced budget.  And your provincial   
   taxes went up.   
      
   We still had big fat inefficient ineffective government.

   Actually he and Reagan are right.  Taxation is like cutting grass.  If   
   you cut too low the next crop will be weak and yield much less.  Cutting   
   it even lower makes he problem worse.  To maximize yeild you ahve to cut   
   at the right height, and currently government cuts too much.   
      
   We have a size of government we can't support.

   With more debt from electronic counterfeiting (QE) to cover the debt?   
   This cause inflation and unemployment, just makes it worse.

   Government has never saved for a rainy day since I was born in the 50's.   
     Few governments are disciplined enough to setup rainy day funds. Debt   
   is always viewed as a quick fleabagger fix, like a debt junkie.   
   Extended debt like this is an addiction just like heroin or a booze   
   addiction.  Comes with excuses and denial too.

   He did so in a minority government.  NDP and Liberals bribed the Bloc,   
   and said bailout corrupt CAW/GM/Chrysler auto or we coupe d'etat.  Don't   
   forget, every option on your ballot is for big fat expensive ineffective   
   over spending government.   
      
   When my kids or grand kids revolt on debt-tax slavery, I will support   
   them to overthrow the government if necessary.  Racking this debt onto   
   unborn future Canadians is a moral crime.  And assured destruction of   
   economic freedoms.   
      
   --   
   First rule of holes:  If your in one, don't keep digging.   
   So in the hole, why do we insanely want more debt?
