Fletch, I want to start by saying I wasn't addressing you in my previous post, both rather the growing amount of moral equivalency arguments with respect to the middle east, which his complete poppycock to me.
As for my economic positions, I'm not sure you've ever gotten anything right about me, and you shouldn't be accusing anybody else of "labeling".
While it's true I argued that a larger economy can finance larger debt, just like a wealthier family can finance a larger mortgage, that doesn't mean a wealthy family can finance any mortgage of any size. If you don't see a difference between the deficits then and now, then you should stick to PLO and Israel are equivalent arguments, I can't help you.
Furthermore, Bush cut taxes helped to spur private sector growth, and we actually had a 3 or 4 year window of deceasing deficits. At least Bush got it half right, and I have been very critical of the the other half, the level of spending under Bush, and you should know this by now.
Obama's budgets project growing astronomical deficits for as far into the future as they go, something that is simply not sustainable. His policies stunt private sector growth, only stimulating the growth of our welfare state. Now I know you're not an Obama supporter, but please don't try to say both he and Bush are the same, that's ".............."
it should be obvious for anyone with a brain wave, the two men are drastically different with respect to economic policy.
