Looneytarian Rand Paul ducked out of Meet the Press and removed himself from the national media – for as is the case with Sister Aimee McPalin – they were mean to him! And they quoted him in context! Hey Rand… Stupid is as stupid does.
So hemmingway…. Rand Paul has reduced his sloganeering to just one tert phrase, "We cannot spend more than we take in!" Simple is as simple does.
To accomplish that we will have to raise taxes substantially, which will never happen. Eliminate 80% of military spending, which will never happen. Substantially cut Medicare, which will never happen. Substantially cut Social Security, which will never happen. And use tariffs to make sure we export more than we import, which will never happen. This is the land of FREE MARKETS! And they are never wrong. Well, almost anyway.
So what is left to cut? The reality of the cuts will be in Medicaid, SSDI, Education and all things that benefit the poor or minorities are out the window. How do I know these things? Because I read the newspaper everyday and its just filled with it!
Who is to blame for the debt and deficit? Who is the party of Borrow and Spend? Rather than the logical Tax and Spend? Who are the hypocrites?
Take a look at these two charts, one is debt and one deficit but the say the same thing. Reagan and Bush One TRIPLED the debt. Bush Two more than DOUBLED the debt. Carter added nothing to it while Clinton reduced it.
The glitch is from one year of Bush and one Year of Obama having to keep the nation afloat and not fall into Depression because of FREE MARKET fundamentalism. All reasonable economists agree that the various TARP and Stimulus programs by Bush/Obama were and are necessary to keep us out of Depression. So when you hear the TeaTards and the Randians screech about Obama’s Stimulus program remember the alternative. 30% unemployment, mass migrations and selling apples a good job. They would rather have that than call their ideology into question.
