Oh please...what kind of Q is that???
And the answers that some of you give are just ridiculous!!!
We have a war thats costing us...thats me and you...hundreds of billions of dollars a month...yes thats billions!!!
We have a deficit as large as its been in how many administrations???....And gas prices that have rocketed at a rate thats affected everything from produce to what it cost to mail a stamp. Anyone notice how the price of a speeding ticket has gone up in your town, because law enforcemnet agencies are making up for what it costs then to operate???
And then you actually expect democrats to come into this god-awful situation and do things like...I dunno hmmm...fix bridges so they don't colapse and kill people!!!!!!!!!!!
And how will they do this when the costs of operating a state government is skyrocketing, and they have a shoe string budget, with no help from the federal government because well.......they don't have any money!!!!!!!!!!!
I just don't know what some of you people are thinking out there. I am serious when I say.....stop listening to these conservative talk radio shows!!!!
The next president is going to inheret trillions of dollars in defecit....fact! Here where I live the Goodyear plant is making tires for the armed services and they arent even getting paid right now!....Fact!
Thousands of vehicles and equipment will need to be replaced, fixed or reproduced for our military...fact!
The infrastructure of our country is eroding...fast!...Fact!
Border states have to secure thier borders!....Fact!
The health care system is broken in large part to the influx of millions of illegal aliens that this administration has done nothing about....nothing!.......Fact!
We as a nation will have to develop and distribute alternative fuels and vehicles.....Fact!!!!!
All of this stuff costs...............Money!!!
Where in the hell do you think its got to come from???????????
This is the situation that we all....repub's and dem's alike are inheriting from this "do nothing administration" and you want to already criticize democrats for doing what they have absolutely no choice to do???
If this makes no sense to those of you out here who are just looking for someone to blame for a situation whose sole balme is this president and vice president who are niether republican or democrat but rather two smart oil men who have exploited the highest office in our country, then you know what......we get what we deserve!
Stop listening to talk radio people...its destructive and devisive. Its one of the real sore thumbs of our society.
These men and women make a ton of money using our airwaves to slander, namecall and misinform the public.

I will preface this answer by declaring I voted for Bush twice. Doing that is a regrettable error.
There is NOTHING more expensive, be it in life or treasure, than war. The debt has to be paid back somehow. Taxes are about the only way to even begin to address that, so I question your intelligence bringing partisan hackery into an issue that is inescapable.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there sure as hell is no such thing as a free war. Oh, and one more thing wars cause; economic recession. You cant blow your check and not expect to go hungry.

I would say about 99 %. All except JFK did exactly that. When JFK CUT taxes, the revenues to the Treasury actually INCREASED. It proves when you tax something, you get LESS of it and when you SUBSIDIZE something you get MORE of it. When Mondale ran in 1984 he CAMPAIGNED on a platform of PROMISING to raise taxes. Is it any wonder Reagan CLOBBERED him and won all the states but Massachusettes, and Also DC went to Mondale. He even lost his home state of Minnesota.

The next president must raise taxes. Republican or Democrat. Bush and his conies have run up the national debt to dangerous levels and it is apparent to everyone that our economy is hemorrhaging under the weight if the debt to his mega tax cuts to the rich. The bill is coming due.
