[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 561537, member: 546465"] To qutorial, Bush has run a deficit. Out of control spending is bad. Now I believe (as stupid as everyone thinks he is) George Bush listened to some of his economic advisors and decided to take their advice and increased government spending while decreasing taxes which is a strategy used to boost the economy back up. If you increase taxes by the same amount that you increase spending no benefit will be seen because the consumers will have less money to spend and the government will just be spending their money for them. This doesn't stimulate the economy. Now as a percentage of our GDP I don't believe the deficit is that large. This however doesn't mean that Bush should keep spending and have taxes cut because as I've said in other threads if this is done when the economy is strong you will end up with bad levels of inflation. Also I can't see Kerry increase the taxes of the rich when he and is wife are rich and are using tax shelters. There are some european nations that have corporate companies that are hurting because of the taxation. The companies pay so much in taxes that they have less funds to hire more employees, expand their companies and pay for R&D. Western Europe is having this problem. Now this next part is for everyone. I've heard, AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT'S TRUE, that Kerry pissed on and burned a flag while in uniform. Anyone who does this doesn't deserve to be president. I feel this is disrespecting all those that died in the past for us. If you are unhappy with the government fine speak out against it but don't disrespect those that gave us this nation. Again I don't know if this is true and even if it was I know the RNC wouldn't bring this to the table because it would be considered a personal attack. Until I have solid facts backing this up I will consider it to be a lie. [/QUOTE]
