Notice the last two conservatives (Sanity & Termie) didn't even bother to challenge what Mr. Krugman states in his article? Not even one item. Instead, they try a typical GOP tactic: undermine the credibility of the writer (Krugman) or the person posting it (Brain). Its their belief that if either are shown not to be credibile, they dont have to listen to the material. Unfortunately, much of what Mr. Krugman stated has already been in discussions, analysized and debated in the past. He is mere pointing out that the history this GOP plan is based on, failed to achieve the goals a long time ago; Why should it work this time? Its like dropping a penny over and over, and expecting "this time, THIS TIME, it'll float in the air by the will of God!". What do we call doing the same action, over and over again, and expecting a different result: insanity.
Reducing the budget spending, does not nessisarily equate to a lower debt. To simply bring it in line with the Bush 'retarded' frame work of economics is unrealistic at best, and laughable to implement at worst. It is funny to watch the GOP ignore the 800 lb gorilla that's not only in the room, but a chair most of them use to sit on. They evade, step-aside, dodge, and even hide from just raising the taxes. They simply hold this silly belief that by cutting spending, they will increase jobs in the USA, since the spending will automatically turn into tax cuts. As its been pointed out, a reduction in spending will cost Americans in the public (minority) and public (majority) sectors to lose their jobs; the affects being felt 'down stream'. Even when you point out to them, using small words that this is bad, they simply snort back "they'll just find jobs". Yeah....during a recession.....with high unemployment.....?
As Selectivelight's friend point out, this plan by the GOP is pathetic. All this is, is playing politics with people's lives. This plan simply doesn't make any good improvements on the situtation, neither short or long term. All it exists to do, is be candy for the masses of uninformed conservatives.
