Conservatives demand a huge government, foreign adventurism, AND an end to taxing the wealthy. And an end to regulating their financial shenanigans.

Can you see that maybe that's what got us in this mess? That the unregulated hedge funds with 90% margins funded with tax cuts might be a cause it?

Does it make sense that huge budget and trade deficits have weakened the country?

That not learning from history how to fight a guerilla war has led to two quagmires wherein two Third World countries have fought George Bush to a standstill? SEVEN, 7, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 years in Afghanistan and the enemy is stronger than before and OBL alive and well.

While the US collapses. OBL has been successful beyond his wildest dreams, with the active aid of the US.

The answer is not to keep doing what we have been doing only harder. The answer is that almost anything other that what we have been doing short of subsidizing the wealthy would be better.
