Oops!

The US is extending the debt ceiling and staving off the big crunch with government pension funds? I'm no economist or business person, but this doesn't look very good... Wonder where it's all going?

What happened to the promise Reagan made in 1984 that he and fellow Republicans would balance the budget? Ah, yes, I remember it well! Something like: If ordinary American households had to balance their budgets, why shouldn't the government balance it's budget as well? It was a great sell, and a great lie, yes?

Isn't it interesting that the promise to reduce government and get rid of waste and fraud resulted in ever greater public debt? Who got all that money?

These days, "conservative" means "following George W. wherever he goes."
