The flip-side of Republican tax-cuts --
And for that matter...
Democratic tax cuts too...
Let the American national debt....
Grow....
And grow....
And grow....
And grow....
As Senator McCain just said in a speech today....
'You get the picture...'
Both candidates want to talk about the 'goodies'...
In their campaign promises...
The 'hardships' and the 'sacrifices'
That lie ahead for the American people...
Sort of get pushed aside...
Pushed into the closet...
And swept under the rug...
They will re-surface...
After the election is over...
And the new President...
Has to face the realities...
Of a very tough budget...
Of money coming in...
Vs. money promised or earmarked out...
And a staggering American debt...
George Bush has certainly done nothing to address the exploding national debt.
He will leave it for the next American President to deal with....
McCain keeps saying that he is going to lower taxes...
And cut spending....
What is he going to cut?
He certainly does not plan to cut war expenses...
Is he going to cut health expenses?
Or education expenses?
Or infrastructure expenses?
Let the middle class flounder...
With their health and education expenses...
And let the poor...
Stagger in the ditch...
How is he planning to bring down the national debt?
While still conduction one war in Iraq,
A second war in Afghanastan...
And two more wars looming precariously closer...
In Pakistan and Syria?
