Hello Kevin,

Well, let's see. Bill Clinton left office with a federal surplus.
Eight months later, George W. Bush squandered it all with his tax
cuts for the wealthy, going into deficit spending. And that was
*before* the events of 9-11. Then he continued in office, giving
us The Great Recession - the worst economic downturn since The
Great Depression in the 1930s.

"Deficits don't matter." ~ Dick Cheney

That is what GWB's vice president told the world. "Deficits don't
matter." Great advice for us all. Barack Obama cerainly took note,
fixing the economy once he got into office.

And now we have another doofus in office, with unemployment numbers
not seen since the stock market crashed in 1929. Thank God we have
another savior about to lead us to salvation, just as FDR and Obama
did.

If you want to make money, you have to spend money. Preferably
somebody else's money. That is how things work, and always have
worked. Austerity will only make things worse. Being a scrooge
is not an option, so might as well open your wallets and start
giving. After all, you know the cause is right ...
