"Fed chief warns of grave consequences if nation’s fiscal house not fixed."

Fight a $2 trillion optional war, cut taxes, ignoring domestic concerns in the process, and run up record budget and trade deficits.

Then leave it for the next guy to clean up.

The Conservative Way - cut taxes, borrow, spend on military adventurism, and hope there's nothing left for domestic social concerns.

Solution - get Halliburton involved in providing medical care for the poor with federal money, Boeing and Lockheed Martin building hospital equipment with more federal money, Exxon making drugs developed by the NIH with federal grants and ya got a winner.

Never get past the Fundamental Christians or any Republican with health insurance. Can't afford it. After all, we got to take care of Iraq, remember. And the rich folks. Must not discriminate against them.

Son-of-a-gun. There is no way out, except on the backs of the poor, the disenfranchised, the folks without Abramoff surrogates, I guess. If God loved 'em, or even liked 'em, he wouldn't have made 'em poor.
